When you go out hunting monsters, you never run out of them.

One question, what did Russia ever do to you? They were our allies in 1776, in WW 1 and WW 2. So they built a Wall in Berlin, that has been gone longer than the average age of Americans. We can have peace, all we have to do is defend our border and be an example to the world.

Get back to me when America is invaded.

It’s happening all the time? Why don’t we stop that?

WW 1 did not need us to kill or die, WW 2 never happens without intervention by the US in WW 1, and every thing that has happened since is OUR FAULT. We USED to be a self styled country of people who minded our own business. Walked quiet and proud, but carried the means and knowledge to thump you if you tried to change us. Well the Military Industrial Complex runs the US now, we are not safer, or more peaceful.

I don’t mean this personally, but I wish all of the war hawks would just die off and leave people in PEACE.

The Russians were not our allies in WW2. We helped them and then they tried to help themselves to half of Europe, half of Japan, and more.

The US & UK were idiots for helping the Russians in that war...a war which the Russians FACILITATED by promising their Nazi friends a free hand in Poland.

Now Russia wants to bring back the USSR and lay claim to the parts of Europe they enslaved for nearly half a century. Screw that.

It is far better to make them exhaust their diminishing supplies of functional Soviet era weapons and then dictate terms to them.

The military-industrial complex is a fraction if what it was in Eisenhowers day. Now its a very minor part of the US economy and power structure. This what happens when people just repeat slogans without having looked at the facts.
