I give up. Too esoteric for me.
Yes, it’s the late Tom Petty. And.....?
No NATO country has any semblance of a vital national interest over there...
...nuff’ said.
Does anyone anywhere think these NATO provocations (or whatever you want to call them) will change Russia’s plans in the least?
As I see it, no good outcome is possible. Either nothing will happen or something bad will happen.
Wait....maybe it’s
Well, I won’t back down
No, I won’t back down
You can stand me up at the gates of hell
But I won’t back down
No, I’ll stand my ground
Won’t be turned around
And I’ll keep this world from draggin’ me down
Gonna stand my ground
Looks like we’re about to find out what 30 years of military neglect means (while the Russians spent 20 years modernizing).
One shot, game over, and the US drops to #3 in the world pecking order (behind Russia/China).
Joe Biden....Whether Crimea is Ukraine Territory or Russian Territory (which it is) as voted and chosen by the people of Crimea Biden shouldn’t be playing games.
Russia has nuclear weapons. The US has nuclear weapons. Neither side is going to do anything real. It’s all bread and circuses for each side’s respective idiot lapdog controlled media.
Am I going crazy with the heat or is it stupid to stand up for Britain when they have a defiant Muslim Mayor of London and have insultingly opposed President Trump and cheered Biden? Plus sent over Meghan to attack us.
And shouldn’t we be getting prepared to fight the Chinese and leave the Russians alone?
If only Russia and the US could join to fight the Chinese.
After a lifetime of strong anti-Communism how can I say these things? But I hate the Chicoms.
This is why the vegetable Biden needed to be installed.
“with Moscow’s seizure of the strategically valuable peninsula winning it a strong outpost in the Black Sea to go along with its existing naval base in the coastal city of Sevastopol.”
We should have done something about this and taken a strong stand in 1783. Unfortunately, we were preoccupied with concluding the treaty of Paris ending the Revolutionary War. But really George Washington could have acted when he came into office five years later as our first President.
It IS almost like they are trying to direct our attention away from other things, isn’t it?
We should be allies with Russia, but our stupid State Department won’t have it. They hate fags in Russia, don’cha know?
Nothing like a WAR to get people back into fodder Jobs:-)

I agree. I get (and I’m sure you do, too) that Putin is not a nice guy. But he’s not Stalin. Putin is not planning to send Russian tanks roaring through the Fulda Gap. Putin is not interested in dominating the West.
So Putin is not a strategic threat to the West. But China is. And radical Islam is. Those threats also threaten Russia. If the US and Russia can’t be allies, at the very least we should be close associates based on common interests.
