Of course. I am not a Putin defender.

But I do like to point out that the West has put itself in a position of great weakness. Should we all attack Russia? Probably not. But the point is -- we don't really have the option of doing anything, even if we wanted to. We made our decision before the question was asked -- we decided to be weak and easy to walk over because we rejected God and Freedom. Now our civilization is a shell of what it once was.

What do we have to offer the world today?

Think about that question, compared to when Reagan was in office.

Couldn’t agree with you more. If western civilization wants to contracept, abort, homosexualize and euthanize itself out of its existence then so be it. Others will take our place.

The West made an implied promise to Russia that it would dissolve the blocs system of the Cold War. Instead, Russians have watched the West steadily encroach on its borders. And if the West is free to do whatever it wants, of course the Russians are entitled to do the same. Brussels can’t have it both ways. If there is to be a common European home - the Cold War bloc system will have to be dismantled. But the West is proceeding in its own way and so will Russia. And this is not due to Putin. No Russian leader will ever accept NATO encirclement.

Reverse the defense cuts Hagel announced two days before the Russians invaded Ukraine. That’s where you start.

We overextended ourselves trying to butt into intra-Arab disputes.

Russia rejected God 110 years ago. We have a Marxist, treasonous putz that likely stole the last election. We will be fine, progressives is likely DOA.
