They’ve been united in helping our Deep State scam Americans our of their hard earned money to pay for Europe’s welfare states...
If the EU stopped stealing Russia's gas and agrees to pay back even a fraction of what they and looters like the Bidens stole , then there would be no reason for Russia to be there protecting it's interests.
and there would be no need for the extortion racketeers to call Russia protecting it's interests a hostile action.
You’re right about that. The trough is wide.
Europe’s “contribution” always consists of talking while waiting for the USA to do something. The USA finally has a president who works for the good of America.
Russia was and is freer than we were under four years of Biden.
We're the ones that had a rigged election, orchestrated events that led to hundreds of political prisoners and a President that tried to imprison his political opponent.
The FBI was turned into the equivalent of the KGB. USAID money funded clandestine CIA color revolutions that attempt to thwart the will of the people in countries like Georgia and Romania.
You are infected with Russian Derangement Syndrome.
Somebody wants the Waffen SS to make a comeback. I wonder who could possibly want such a thing? /s

What about Belarus?
Russia might say, ok, we are out of Ukraine, only to then absorb Belarus and be right up on the Polish border.
Europe wasn’t united at Waterloo. The British won at Waterloo because the Prussian Third Corps drew off a chunk of Napoleon’s army (and suffered a series of defeats in doing so) while the bulk of the Prussian Army hit the French right flank. Other British allies included the Dutch, Nassau, Brunswick and Hanover.
The Russian and Belarus armies have been working together for years.
So, there is no reason for Russia to takeover Belarus. Belarus is essentially part of Russia already.
Not true, they are rivals, just as Mussolini and Hitler were in the early 1930s. Lukashenko wanted Putin’s job.
At any time, Russia could pull the plug and create instability there, and then roll in the tanks.
Lukashenko throws Putin enough bones to keep him off his back. But that won’t last forever.
The weapons systems and capabilities that NATO countries need are too expensive for one country to build, operate, and maintain. I am talking airlift capacity, anti-missile systems, naval capabilities and possessing one without the others does not enhance an individual countries security. Only if they form a unified military will they be able to become independent of Uncle Sam. Maybe they could secure the eastern front with individual militaries but without heavy lift capacity they cannot exert influence outside the continent.
Hi Kazan. I’ve been on freerepublic for a while and am quite familiar with assholes. I stood across the Fulda Gap facing the Warsaw Pact, I’m not intimidated by you. My father before me served during the Korean conflict and my son after me, during the war on terror. If you’re not a Putinbot accessing this site from Russia, why don’t you move there?
This country isn’t perfect, but we have free elections. The opposition party has a reasonable chance of coming into office. I’ll quote F.A. Hayek on democracy: Democracy isn’t predicated on the majority being right. It is predicated on majorities changing. In comparison, think of Russia, North Korea, Communist China, or Venezuela. They have the same autocrats in power over decades.
And let’s not forget what a great conqueror is your beloved Vladimir Putin. He has expanded the borders of Russia to include South Ossetia, Abkhazia and the eastern oblasts of Ukraine. No wonder he’s a god among Russians.
Poland is not self-sufficient.
“Poland isn’t self-sufficient.”
Who even knows what your comment is supposed to mean?
Let’s get real:
In Poland isn’t “self-sufficient,” how did Poland defeat Russia in 1920, saving Europe from Lenin and Trotsky?
Why did Stalin join up with Hitler in order to invade Poland in 1939?
Who stopped the Ottomans from overrunning Europe at Vienna?
Who stopped the Mongols from overrunning Europe, when the Russians failed?
You need to learn history from less biased sources. Also learn a thing or two about military affairs to be able to do a basic power balance analysis.
I don’t need to do anything you tell me. I am an American.
Was your last post an insult to the American intelligence?
That’s the problem with living in the made-up fantasy world of Russian “truth.” You think other people are stupid because they don’t “know” what you think you know.
