At this point, after the demoralization of our forces under the Mozloid presidink, the obsequious congress, and the pie-eyed lockstep military leadership, yeah, putin is prolly right.

So someone send the poor bustards a box of matches already.
I knew their Military was short on supplies (other than vodka), but not having a match amongst them is pretty sad (especially in winter).

Putin is thumbing his nose at all of us, basically saying he can order his troops to rape and loot their way anywhere in the world, and the only thing we can do is say “tut tut”.

That is part of the strategy that we see used by pro-Putin posters here.

They want to convince us that Putin is too powerful for America and the West to stand up to, and that we should submit and just let his long range military goals be accomplished since we are weak and inferior.

They will sell whatever they can sell, Russian conventional superiority, Russian nuclear superiority, Russian moral superiority, Putin as a superior Christian, Putin, Putin, Putin.

Poland actually seems to have a pretty good sized and equipped military force, by Euro-peon standards.

Why run from evil, when they can fight it?

Besides, entire nations and the entire West cannot flee Russia, they have to defend themselves from it.

Does Tuvalu have an ethnic Russian minority? Be careful.
