I'm now 70 years old and have seen a lot in my life. I spent the early years of my life under a school desk covering my head and closing my eyes to keep from being blinded by the nuclear flash that was coming because Russia was filled with Commies. I saw the Democrat party run KKK grand Wizards for public office and stand in school house doorways. I saw gas lines 4 hours long to buy 35 cent gas.
But I also saw JFK stand up in Russia's grill and blockade Cuba. After kissing Iran's ass for over a year under Carter, I saw Reagan free the hostages just by being elected and taking office. I saw the Berlin Wall fall just by Reagan making a speech.
Today, I've seen Putin hold off his ultimatum's because he didn't want to challenge Trump. We are looking at Russian truck tires flat just by rolling 300-400 miles. we see a conscript army crying to go home because nobody told them they would be shooting their own people. Their food expired in 2015. We know they have the economy of a country smaller than Italy. We already see trouble at home in Russia. Most of us are dreaming of flying an A-10 Warthog over a 40 mile road to take out 80% of Putin's armor that I don't believe he can replace.
We are being warned of $5 gas and $40 a lbs meat.
All I hear from our side is "We can't do anything because Putin has nukes". Putin has always had nukes. I agree it's a gamble to ship equipment with "USA" printed on the side, but I don't think Putin wants to die anymore than we do. Are we going to fight wars with the whole world except for China and Russia and maybe Iran because they have nukes? We all know any day now China is going to hit Taiwan for no other reason than Republicans and Trump will be here as soon as November.
I'm just thinking after 70 years of living with commie assholes, they tend to back down when challenged. All we need is a challenger, even if it's from France or England, we might be surprised at the result. I know people are reading this saying "Yeah! Your gambling with my life and my grandchildren's lives". In fact, what I'm suggesting is I don't want to live anymore licking Putin's boots. All I'm seeing is country after country saying putting up a No Fly Zone would start WWIII. Unless Putin really is mentally ill, He would have to know someone has a set of balls as big as mine and I better watch out. If he is mentally ill, ask yourself if you want your family to live the next 50 years bowing down to a nutcase?
Anybody that has graduated high school must know by now you will spend your whole life on your knees to a bully that gets away with bullying. What I'm saying is we need to do what is necessary to win and put Putin back in the dark ages.
I think most of us here respect Trump. I can tell you Putin and Xi fear him. What would Trump do? We need a new T-shirt with WWTD on it. Are we not going to reelect Trump because he might make Putin and Xi mad?
We are watching daily the Ukrainians fighting for their lives because nobody is helping them knowing even an-armchair general that fought in Viet Nam would have already smashed Russia and have $2 gas and eat meat every day. I'm afraid that talking about Russia's nukes every day will just get us a result that looks a lot like Viet Nam.
Many of you are probably saying "He's 70 years old and doesn't have that much longer to live anyway. I just know what it's like to live in fear of an asshole with nukes since I was under a desk back in the 60's with people telling me it would be possible to live through a nuke by crawling under a desk. Well, we have nukes also. And I'm betting ours are better than his.
Every hour that goes by now is costing lives and just extending the inevitable. Remembering we actually saved lives by dropping the bombs on Japan, why not just call Putin's bluff and send in Warthogs to fart on America's enemy's once more. If Putin does decide to pull the trigger, well, the Bible says he will pull the trigger anyway in Ezekiel 38-39. Russia loses.
Believe it or not, you just made my case! BLM burned half of America down and nothing happened.
What are we going to do to fix that? Get someone that will do something about it. If we don't, expect more of the same. Putin will keep going till someone stops him. We already know he is heading for Moldova next. In fact, if nobody does anything, he will move on Nato figuring their Depends are full and leaking down their legs.
They are violating International Law after all. Is there no one in all the world to say "Enough!"
It looks as though we already have our world leader for the Last Days if no one will take him on. How many here will take a mark to follow Putin?
Keep in mind XI will move on Taiwan before the year is out. We are just arguing over who we will bow down to.
The smart move is to let Putin win this round because we do not have a President Trump in the WH.
I would reverse my view on a dime if I trusted US leadership to have our backs instead of having the backs of “transgender youth”.
I see.
How much of America has Putin/Russia burned down?
The Bible does not say that, you dope.
Really? Now I see you as the dope.
It’s not that we fear Putin’s nukes. We don’t have a national interest there.
And, and this is important, because we never held NATO accountable for their defense spending…they are not prepared for a war. Their people would not tolerate a war.
Biden is taking note of his team and he knows they are not ready for the game.
I love you FRiend and I do believe you. We are going to have to wait; both of US. Should putin hit NATO and I too believe there is a better than 50 / 50 chance it will be War, with or without pedophile depends boy. I too remember duck and cover. The joke was put your head between your legs and kiss your butt goodbye. Good Luck FRiend and may the hunt go well should the War come
I'll take the public execution, thank you.
If we're rid of Putin what do we do with the Davos tyrants and the ones looking to shut down freedom here in the US?
Freedom the world over is riddled with cancer-- to me it is beginning to look like communism has won.
“Hate to be the one to say it, but the leaders of your own country are commie assholes with nukes.”
Best post of the thread.
Sigh.
The point I was making was that we are ALLOWING them to win. We are even voting them into office and have been since the 60's. Fonda is still breathing after all.
If Texas had a vote, we would leave the union today.
Gog perishes in that war. Whoever the leader of Russia is, is called “Gog”. Putin is the current leader of Russia.
Care to challenge that or just call people names like an ignorant infant?
I understand what you are saying, but there is little doubt in my mind that the Russians would resort to tactical nuclear weapons if need be.
Also there is a lot of talk about Putin as though he is a singular entity pressing this war rather than Russia in general, and I am not sure about that. We had to kill a lot of Germans to get to Hitler (or the Russians did) and we would have to kill a lot more Russians to get to Putin.
I don’t see it. I don’t see how we topple Putin by intervening if that is the goal. And I don’t see how Ukraine lasts with out intervention.
If you bothered to look, BLM and Antifa were communists.
Enabled and sent by Putin or the Russian Federation?
Best post of the thread.
And most accurate.
We usually follow the rules and at this point in the game we’re riding an old plug ready for the glue factory.
To try and vote in a nice strong stallion we’ve got a couple years waiting and that’s even if our votes count.
We couldn’t even peacefully protest the voting irregularities and fraud without some being tossed in prison and declared terrorists (and some FBI *whatever* mows freely). A doctor walking between the ropes was STORMING the Capitol don’t ya know, an unarmed woman was murdered.
Many cheered the Patriot Act and all the bull going on in airports. We’ve cut our own throats over and over just look at COVID—people run into the arms of momma government—save us from the big bad world. Yeah she’ll love us like Lennie loved that bunny.
We may do something but not until whatever it is they want to happen happens.
Spout that babble at someone else moron...your bible compass is broken.
Stay ignorant you child.
Yep
Begone demon.
