Ya know? If Vladimir Putin stepped forward and paid off the Bundy’s fees in full, it would kick the legs out from under the scheme to legally seize Bundy’s land.
The egos involved would require that Bundy’s land be seized anyway (and if at all possible him and his entire family burned alive).
They would have to abandon all pretense of legality, it would be a raw naked use of bloody force against an American on American soil, with no possible legal justification.
From Putin’s viewpoint, such a thing would, at it least, “sow dissent in the camp of the enemy”, at best? So thoroughly occupy America with it’s internal troubles as to render America utterly irrelevant in stopping Russian expansion.
We’d be so screwed.
Not Putin...it would frost Dirty Harry more is the Koch Brothers would pay off the Bundy obligations.
Nobody in Europe or the outside world even heard this story.
It’s boycotted by the MSM completely.
