We should either put up or shut up. We have what, something like 5,000 troops, if that, in the Baltics. Bring it up to 500,000, or pull them out...they’re USELESS at that level.
“Don’t be surprised when the Chinese make similar demands of our forces in the Pacific.”
Absolutely, not even debatable.
Why, pray tell, should any of us feel any compunction to shed blood for them?
....Upwards of 90% of Americans couldn’t find any of these countries on a map....

Russia is not a near peer with the United States, either militarily or economically.
The only way to rule Iraq was a thug.
Russia is uniquely paranoid. I think it is in their DNA somehow. Mongol hordes invading and all that.
Mother Russia dies hard and Putin is the champion of that concept. Watch him lead a soccer stadium full of people in singing the national anthem. They are more patriotic now than we may have ever been. He may be a corrupt bastard but he is their corrupt bastard and they support him for that. Watch him dress down cabinet members for poor performance, a show of force and show for the people that he is their man. He is also a very smart and cagey corrupt bastard.
The Russian people? I don’t pretend to understand them. Sometimes I think they are all flower child like beatniks.
Their only strong suit appears to be their government's commitment to promoting and defending Christianity, where they beat us hands down.
(It may be all they need.)
Yes, the rolling of Biden America begins.
“...that buys into Putin even though they know he’s a thug...”
Almost half of Americans buy into the stumbling, bumbling, senile, moronic, corrupt, anti-American turd Biden.
The game has been too global and interconnected for over 100 years. Natural borders are no longer impenetrable. There is no choice but to fight this battle far beyond our borders if we don’t want to eventually lose.
Every country taken over provides great resources and haven for the enemy. It’s not simply a prize. It is power. This is why we used to fight against even the smallest, most insignificant country falling into their control. Until we gave up on Vietnam. Then we started trading with commies for “peace” until we lost our entire means of production. 50 years later they are still enemies, they are far more economically powerful and we are weaker in every way that matters.
For example NK has become a nuclear proxy for China. Where humans are enslaved to threaten half the planet with nuclear fire to protect communist borders. While China further expands in the Pacific. Eventually they will be able to target any US city.
South Korea exists as their counter and has greatly diminished NK’s power only because of American blood spilled many years ago to hold the communist line.
Basically, an enemy colonizing the entire planet to do their will is eventually going to be powerful enough to do the same to us...
History repeating.
It’s easy to make threats when your opponents (US) are lead by spineless pansies.
Your argument for this is more easily applied to Russians concerned about Americans pushing their way into far-off corners of the globe.
What Putin wants is for the EU (NATO) A globalist cabal faction to stop using the Ukraine to try to seduce him into a war. Putin is not preparing to invade the Ukraine. His only goal is to maintain his military port on the Black sea. The only reason he annexed the Crimea is because the Ukrainians were threatening to not renew Russia’s lease on that port.
I’m predicting more like Yugoslavia. The cities a shite holes governed by blacks who have lost control with their idiotic policies. We already have war zones where leaders of police unions are “Don’t come here”.
With the Omicron virus doubling every day, my calculations show the entire country will be hosed by January 16, 2022.
LOL, Putin is demanding NATO withdraw its protection/membership from all the former soviet bloc countries in eastern Europe and you're blathering on about Putin's only interested in the port of Sevastopol.
No I’m telling you what Putin’s intent is. Get back to me when you acquire at least a 4th grade understanding of who and what the EU is and how they manipulate NATO and the Ukraine.
Here’s a clue. The EU is the New World Order. Putin and Russia are not part of the NWO. Putin is part of the Trump alliance aligned against the NWO. Russia is not our enemy. The EU is our enemy and the CCP is our enemy.
“Kill Russia once and for all.”
Its been tried before, but doesn’t seem to work out.
Kicking Russian ass, should be no problem.(sarcasm)
Is it coincidence that those countries reject Global homo?
