The left seems to hate Russia because they gave up on communism, not because the invasion of Ukraine was a horrible thing.

In order to rearm and modernize their weaponry, Russia will be forced accept client state status from China. The new Eastern European arms race has already started. What better way for Xi to keep America occupied and financially unable to match China’s Asia moves than to have America bogged down in the American/Russian Ukrainian Conflict Cold War quagmire. Brilliant strategy on Xi and General Dynamics part.

Russia under Putin is hostile to our interests and sensibilities.

Mebbe some here might actually buy a clue.

No kidding - the Russians are idiots; they knew what the Ukraine's terrain was like, they knew that the Ukrainians had been outfitted with advanced antitank missiles (thank you, Mr. Trump) and attack drones and they knew that the place was a sea of mud anyplace but the main roads.

Yet they sent armored thrusts into that mess and lost thousands of conscripts and hundreds of vehicles to the well-known threats.

Did they really think that the Ukrainians would cheer their arrival? Did they really believe that the Ukrainian army would just fold like wet Kleenex?

All of those hapless conscripts have mothers, and every one of those mothers will make themselves known when they learn that they have lost their children for Putin's land grab.

As far as I’m concerned, Russia was the wildcard, and they were going to line up their huge resources and huge nuclear military with either China or the US, and the only way to have a reasonably balanced world was for Russia to line up with us.

But the Democrats didn’t want that, so we’re on our own now, with our Drag Queen military.

I don’t know about the rest of you, but I’m terrified. I no longer take comfort in Fortress America’s ability to withstand any attack.

Both Russia and China have nukes, lots of them. But hopefully there is enough sanity left in the world to avoid complete obliteration. Iran, not so much.

Closer to home, we are sitting ducks for a Red Dawn type attack, from within. We know, with certainty, that the millions of strangers that Uncle Joe has allowed into our living rooms includes untold numbers from openly hostile foreign lands. And just for a thought exercise, imagine if just one in ten of those military-age Chinese college students we are hosting were actually members of the People’s Army, awaiting a signal.

If those worries won’t keep you awake at night, we now have fuel problems, fertilizer scarcity and almost certain food shortages before the end of summer.

We are at war, in my opinion. But we haven’t gone to a war footing yet. We’re just sitting here, sipping a Mai Tai and watching the world slowly catch fire.
