Unfortunately you are the one who needs to study history. We haven't solved European military problems in any useful way with the exception of helping fight the Nazis.

The Soviets killed more than their Nazi buddies ever did. And yet, you want us to believe that resisting them is not only futile, but that it accomplished nothing in the past. This also ignores decades of Soviet subversion of the West, and the work of anti-communists in exposing them.

This is why Liberaltarians are nothing more than 5th columnists who should be purged from the movement. They advocate defeatism and passivity in the face of Russian aggression.

No Reaganite conservative would think in these terms.

To lump them together as an alliance is ignorant and provides no solutions to each of those problems.

The Russians and Chinese have been coordinating and engaging in exercises for years now. Russia is also helping Iran with their nuclear program, and China has provided them missile technology necessary to use it. North Korea, similarly, exists because of Russian and Chinese support, and is used by Communist strategists as merely a proxy to mess with the United States. These problems are most certainly related, and to fail to recognize that is definitely ignorance.

The problem with your theory is that it assumes we resisted the Soviets, but we did not. We outspent them and armed some Muslims who eventually became our enemies. Resisting would have meant nuclear war and we were not will to resist to help their victims in eastern Europe.

The same applies today, we in the west, including NATO, are not willing to risk nuclear war to help the Eastern Europeans with their Russian problems. They are on their own and that is how it should be. They can fight their own small insignificant wars. The pictures you to promote war in Ukraine does not change the equation.

As for helping Iran and North Korea, that is more fantasy than reality. Iran will take help from whoever they can get it from, It is obfuscatory to claim that Russian enriched uranium supports Iran's weapons programs. Russia does the enriching in that case not Iran and the fuel can be easily tracked. The spent fuel is a different story and could be a problem if Russia does not retrieve it.
