Russian Jews have quite a bit of telling history. Lenin, Marx, Trotsky, Stalin

Stalin attended an Orthodox theological seminary while growing up. Lenin also was not Jewish. Karl Marx was German not Russian. While Marx's grandfather might have been Jewish, the father converted to Lutheranism and his wife and children were baptized.

There was a revolutionary impulse in Eastern and Central Europe that affected wide swaths of the population.

Either Europe pays its fair share or we need to leave. I can go either way. But pushing NATO all the way to Russia’s border is not a good idea.

NATO has had shared border with Russia for a very long time. And NATO is no danger to Russia. The 'border' issue is just an excuse used by Putin to justify his aggression. It's a fake excuse.

Also I want us totally out of Ukraine as far as giving them money, troops, or supplies. Cut them loose now.

Won't happen as long as Russia continues its invasion and aggressive tactics. Talk to Putin about your wishes and concerns.

If Mexico and Canada aligned with China and set up their troops on our border, we wouldn’t like it either...

Nope. But Russia (the old USSR) did position their nuclear missiles 90 miles from the U.S. What do you think about that type of aggression? And China has, indeed, been position themselves nearby and against American interests, in Panama, for example. Trump is taking care of that aggressive action. So, we don't like it and Russia doesn't like it, but Putin is just making excuses to justify his invasion and aggressive actions. Too bad your buddy wont get away with it.

But keep wishing. Sometimes, wishes do come true. I want a pot full of gold at the end of a rainbow. Think I'll get it?

“Russian Jews have quite a bit of telling history. Lenin, Marx, Trotsky, Stalin and one, of many, who left for the USA named Raskin.”

Add Zinoviev, Kamenev, Radek and the dozen Russian Jews [the Bolsheviks] that attended Lenin when he returned by German-sponsored train from Switzerland to Russia.

Now you might understand why the AP or Reuters protects their dialogue.

You just made my point. Russia put missiles 90 miles from us and we reacted. Yet you say that Russia is wrong to do the same thing.

Russia had between 20-25 million WW2 dead. There are naturally paranoid and moving on their border will make them more so.

I am not a Russia fanboi and I am not a Ukraine fanboi, but we need to leave this crap to the Europeans and Russia & Ukraine. We have pissed away enough money already. We got nothing to gain by continuing down this road, except more money lost to our own detriment...

Yep, we sure did react, and that's making my point and not yours.

I am not a Russia fanboi and I am not a Ukraine fanboi, but we need to leave this crap to the Europeans and Russia & Ukraine.

The consequences of that war affect most Europeans, especially the Ukrainians, and even Russia. All of what happens in that region of the world affects the U.S. too, so, obviously, we can't pretend that we can just look from a distance and not get affected.

We have pissed away enough money already.

Try not to be so myopic. We have indeed spent a lot of money in Ukraine, but that money is actually many times less than what it would cost to fight a much bigger war which would almost certainly come after Russia ended up winning Ukraine.

We got nothing to gain by continuing down this road, except more money lost to our own detriment.

Abandoning Ukraine would be the biggest foreign policy debacle for the U.S. since WWII. Much bigger than Biden's disastrous pullout from Afghanistan. Loss of trust would abound from around the world, and our enemies everywhere would rejoice. A much more dangerous world would ensue.

Biden was indeed weak on preventing the war, but he actually DID NoT cause the war or start the war. The invasion was by somebody else. Guess who actually did invade Ukraine.

However, a real president and a strong one, would not have allowed the invasion of Ukraine from 'the east'. Can you guess who that was.

The other cast of characters you mention DID NOT invade either. Those were diplomats, who acted to keep Russia at bay, even if they went about it the 'wrong way'.

Project Ukraine, yet another failure by the fuck ups at the CIA.

Are you allowed to use that kind of language on FR? Others can be insulting, but you are the virtual foul language dictionary on FR.

The 'f-ups' were many, including some from the 'right'. but in every case, it was to prevent the Russian aggression. The only part they effed-up is that, Russia was not fully prevented from invading.

Project Ukraine, yet another failure by the fuck ups at the CIA.

I'm with the Ukrainian people. They have a right to have a free and independent country. Putin does not feel the same way. So, are you with, Putin or the Ukrainian people?

Good go to Ukraine.

You AmericaLaters and your CIA clowns. Under Pedo Joe, the US border was wide open to invasion from foreign actions and the clowns at the CIA were concerned with Ukraine?

This from America’s “ Intel community” , the same AmericaLaster Never Trumpers.

Which team are you on ?

AmericaLasters such as yourself deserve every curse .
