What does foreignpolicy.com have to say about America’s southern border being invaded on a daily basis while we’re being governed by marxists and a house plant, I wonder?

PUTIN: I’ll see your bid and raise you a NUCLEAR WAR!

(Do we really wanna play this game with a mad man? Why? Just to protect Biden’s criminal friends in Ukraine?)

You can google that.

U.S. policy should focus on legal circular migration, targeted investments, and leveraging diaspora networks to make staying put a viable option for Central Americans.

“Do we really wanna play this game with a mad man?”

We can play until he launches a “tactical (small) nuke”. One little nuke will have NATO running away to hide.

So many desire a war that will only end in the communist takeover of the US/EU and allies.

The enemy resides in Washington and China.

Pack is basically right about Putin’s motives and methods, but he doesn’t mention the central point: the idiot would have never tried it if Biden wasn’t President.

Weakness invites aggression, and Biden showed outright cowardice in Afghanistan, emboldening Putin to reach for the big banana of dominating Ukraine once again.

That it turned into a fiasco is merely luck and the determination of the ordinary people in Ukraine. Biden merely kept up the Trump policy of arming and supporting Ukraine materially.

Putin Bad. Soros Good.

Life is so simple for the simple-minded.

“It’s Time to Beat Putin at Poker and Call His Bluff”

What if it’s not a bluff?

Or maybe the nuclear powers in NATO would then give Ukraine tactical nukes to retaliate. The United Kingdom, the United States and France all promised to give Ukraine support in case of aggression when Ukraine abandoned its nukes in 1994. Russia agreed to that too. It's too late to change that now.

Unfortunately communists have already taken over America in almost every respect - politics, media, schools.... perhaps this is why there is such intense hatred by the elites for Russia - because they are breaking away from their communist past.

Yes, let's "call his bluff"!

He hasn't been behaving rationally for months now. He cares about our lives much less than he cares about the lives of Ukrainians and his own Russians, who he doesn't care about at all.

What could possibly go wrong?
