Just responding to your : “Hmm, well I guess if they continue to fire missiles at Russian forces then maybe, yes, the Russians might invade.”

“The article claims Russians have been in that region since 2014. Why fire at them now?”
Oh, I don’t know, maybe conditions have changed? Not enough information.

Agree about DeepState and neocons but don’t see that indicated.

(and MH17)

Javelin as in the name for the anti-tank missile. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FGM-148_Javelin

The Javelin anti-tank missile is bad ass.

Why should America care about Gay Boi Putin? He’d sell his mother for a dollar. Right?

If I had to guess, it was a rogue unit from Ukraine’s interior department acting on orders from the gangster oligarch Ihor Kolomoisky.

One thing for certain, the Dutch investigation into the crash was a cover up.

So based on your investigation, the shooting down of MH17 was not done by a Russian or ‘Russian-backed’ missile ?
That seems plausible , NOT!

What kind of missile used? and from what kind of missile battery?
Yeah, the duffus Dutch couldn’t figure it out, but you have : the Ukrainians did it.

Americans should care about America and what is happening here. Europe should not be our problem. NATO should have died long ago.

We were caring about America when 9/11 happened

And 9/11 happened because we let them in here. Our first mistake was getting involved in their fights. H.W. Bush saved the Saudis and they repaid us by providing terrorists. We should let them fight each other in their own crappy countries and stay out of it. Maybe provide weapons for both sides to increase the carnage.

The idea that we were asking for it is just a bunch of Communist Anti-American BS. They attacked us because we represented freedom.

Figuring out a motive is not the same as asking for it. Bin Laden was furious that the infidel had its troops on sacred soil (Saudi Arabia). What makes you think the US can go around putting troops in various countries, especially in Muslim countries, and there won’t be blowback? And again, if we had stayed out of the whole mess and not let Muslims into the US, 9/11 would not have happened. Bin Laden would have spent his energy fighting Saddam, and we could have watched all the fun.

We had almost no troops in Saudi Arabia on 9/11. We had to send them there.
Your justification of 9/11 is unAmerican

In no way did I justify 9/11.
