"The Putin brigade on FR"

Cut the crap with the Putin Brigade. You fools mention Putin's name and Russia far more than the people you label with those name tags. I don't give a $hit about Russia or Ukraine. What I care about is the U.S., and not having it destroyed by sending billions of unaccounted-for tax payer dollars overseas to fight yet another proxy war with Russia. That crap has been going on for 71 years since The Korean War. The only ones that win anything in proxy wars, are the politicians on both sides of the aisle, their family members, friends, and big donors, who have investments in the military industrial complex.

Proxy wars have a tendency of becoming direct wars against those that wish to remain neutral. There are no more neutral countries in Europe, or even in the entire world. The world is a lot smaller than it was in the `1800s or even the 1900s or 2000s. We cannot hide anymore. We are the number one target in the world, and we have to be involved overseas, or we will be found and the war will be inside our own continent. China want's to undo us, and so does Russia and so does Iran.
