Bad idea for 300 years. Don’t forget that the Swedes invaded Russia and were promptly exterminated about 300 years ago. Field Marshal Montgomery said that the two lessons of World War II were do not invade China and do not invade Russia.
“Russia - get your forces out of Ukraine or... or... we’ll stamp our feet and pee ourselves!”
-EU and Obama
They pretend to give a darn but will do nothing to actually help Ukraine.
Are you paying attention? NATO won't lift a fingernail.
The one exception was the Germans fighting on the Eastern front in WWI (not WWII). They actually captured quite a bit of Russian territory, including the Baltic States. They lost it when they signed the Armistance, however.
While the West talks Russia takes territory. If the West ever acts with strength, it will be “ok we will stop and not take anymore territory.”
Obozo’s not playing on the world stage with a bunch of college frat boy’z, he is dealing with very skilled adversaries that are trained in the art of manipulation, deception and personality assessment.
They've got his ticket, he’z got weakness oozing out of his pores.
Agree. Our adversaries sized him up early on and concluded that he is the very personification of naivete and weakness. From their perspective, it isn’t often when an opportunity like this comes along to exploit great weakness in an opponent. Consequently, they see nothing but a big green light to carry out their aggressive acts against us, with impunity, for the next couple of years.
You bet’cha...be careful and God bless.
