Don't Give Putin Any Slack

Posted on 04/10/2022 7:18:40 AM PDT by DIRTYSECRET

My friends there are too many pundits as well as historians who go as far as to blame us for crossing Putin's red line-his security interests we ignored with NATO expansion despite his clear warnings. These ideas do not help point out who the Russians are-a paranoid nation who will act on it's paranoia. Millions killed(murdered) by their own government. The Holodomor. The gulag.

We can learn from our misguided adventures on Iraq/Afghanistan by not sending troops/Migs into Ukraine. The Russians can't learn. They have short man's complex and nothing we can do will make them grow up. Restore themselves to great nation status? Ain't gonna happen without killing a lot of people like they did in Afghanistan, a questionable action + a waste of resources. We will be in their way no matter what we do or don't do. Reagan had it right. Maximum pressure everywhere. Biden's not up to it. His voters are unaware of the dangers.

the russians have never been friends with any nation, since Peterr the Great dragged them along to become as near to the rest of the world in his time.

the russians, through their 1000 years of existence, has always been paranoid of The West!

Quite frankly, I care far more about the invasion of the USA than I do about Ukraine.

If we keep re-electing Amnesty Senators, we won’t have a country.

The Soviet Union was a fearsome enemy.

Russia?

Not so much.

They no longer control the military assets of East Germany, Poland, Hungary etc

“Millions killed(murdered) by their own government.”

Actually it was a DIFFERENT government, about as similar to today’s Russia as Germany is to Hitler’s government.

Imagine an independent Texas, which then aligns in a military alliance with Mexico and China.

Warmongers abroad will say - Texas was independent before it was part of the USA. Its ethnically Hispanic/Mexican anyway, and doesn’t want to be part of the USA. The only way to teach the corrupt tyrants in DC a lesson is maximum military pressure on them. Screw their outrageous demands for security!

Hungary-1956. Czechoslovakia-1968. Both were in their spheres of influence but Afghanistan? Shithole. Genocide there. They took advantage of our mistakes in Iran and will always be on the prowl fishing in troubled waters. Trump could of tamed them by questioning our commitment and interests in Europe. Europe will be on the defensive continuously but can’t depend on Uncle Sam forever. A 2% defense budget will last only until they get lazy again. Thanks to the US. 70+ years is enough.

“Quite frankly, I care far more about the invasion of the USA than I do about Ukraine.”

Makes me wonder if that’s part of the motivation of the Bidenistas here, trying to keep our eye off the ball, off of the REAL THREAT to this country.

You are an idiot for comparing events in the 1980s and the status of Communism then with Russia of 2022. Your deficiency is so great, I fear the extant of the explanation that would be needed, and most likely unsuccessful, given an abridged intellect.

“Many of them are supporters of Amnesty Senators.”

Certainly the leaders here, within the GOP. But then so are the rest of the GOP Senators - remember the 100-0 vote last week?

Here's a better idea.

Why don't we just leave them the Hell alone?

This isn't our fight, and Zelenskyy is a corrupt globalist clown who has Neo-Nazis as his foot soldiers.

But yeah, go ahead and keep provoking the Bear.

Vietnam was corrupt. Shouda sat it out.

*You are an idiot for comparing events in the 1980s and the status of Communism then with Russia of 2022.*

You are funny.

If Russia & China placed nukes in Cuba, Mexico and major portions of Central & South America, what would we be?

A paranoid nation who will act on it's paranoia?

Without a doubt.

Russia is a fascist dictatorship. Putin is the fascist dictator.

Putin wrote a paper last August saying Ukraine was not a country and there were no such people as Ukrainians. That neither has the right to exist!

Putin’s troops have already kidnapped 400K Ukrainians to work in slave camps inside Russia.

Putin’s troops have mobile crematoria with them.

Open your eyes!
