Weakness invites aggression.
Weakness invites aggression.
**************
Always has, always will.
Our adversaries around the world are watching this window of opportunity open up for them. Sooner or later they will act.
And China controls the Panama Canal thanks to the peanut farmer. Hey libs, are you happy now? The Communist World sure is.
You know what else invites aggression? Being obnoxious. As someone else here so eloquently put it, The US Government has been running around the world like a coked-up rock star flopping their crank into everyone’s drink.
Someone is going to eventually lay them out.
We are gleefully rolling the NATO roadshow right up to their border, throwing color revolutions on the way, randomly insulting them here and there. Ukraine as a NATO base puts us right on top of battlefields were they fought the nazis, and even puts us 70 miles from the Kursk battlefield. And missiles put there would be less than 10 minutes form Moscow.
We have finally crossed an actual “red line” and DC is hearing their protests as just business as usual, and believes they can start into the usual meaningless diplomatic process and do nothing real.
It’s predictable, they’ll put missiles in Cuba again because it perfectly expresses how they see what we are doing, and they know the propaganda value. When we do not repeat the Cuban missile crisis and get them removed, they will beclown us in front of the world.
DC has no concept of showing anyone the slightest respect. Not foreign nations, not the American people. The only ones they -carefully- toe the line for is the home of world communism... red China.
