we’d gain a good ally in NATO — if we had not employed the policy of appeasement there coulda been 150 million lives saved. Maybe we’d be saving 150 million more.
If they get in NATO, Russia is more than appropriate to put nuclear weapons back in Cuba.
***Okay, you finally came up with a reasonable analogy. How would we affirm the validity of elections in Cuba or even Ukraine? At least in my lifetime there’s never been a crisis with Ukraine but there sure as hell was with Cuba. The trade was getting rid of nuke weapons in Turkey. We already addressed Russia putting nukes in Cuba, so we have sumthin to rest on there.
Cuba doesn’t even border the US, so what’s the worry?
***We had that crisis 6 decades ago. The blockade worked.
We have nuclear weapons in Turkey,
***We do?
so they’d wind up in Ukraine at some point, too.
***How about letting a monitoring unit of Russians inside the Ukraine? They get to inspect for WMDs. Kinda like what we wanted with Iraq. If we had sumthin like that in place, maybe we coulda saved a couple of $Trillion and lotsa lives.
You want to mess with the bear, and for what benefit?
***You wanna appease the bear, and we already did that & 150 million lives were lost.

Russia sees Ukraine like we did Cuba, and with very good reason.
Can you please give any sort of confirmation of US appeasement leading to 150 million murders? You keep throwing that number around and it has no basis.
