We are treating a massively armed world power as if they were some tinpot dictatorship. It’s as if the America haters have found a way to destroy both their boogie man ‘Putin’ and their most hated nation ‘the USA all in one program. Who would want to destroy both the USA and Putin? The Soros funded left is who.

Starting a major war to distract from the very bad inbound economic stuff (currency debasement, modern form, plus apparently all kinds of other supply chain problems) is a pretty old trick. they may well think they can end up neutering the ability of domestic opposition to matter with this.

In terms of conventional forces, and relative to all of NATO, they pretty much are. Capable of lots of bluster, and ruling their own lads with an iron fist, but relatively impotent beyond that given what is happening in Ukraine. Who would want to destroy both the USA and Putin? The Soros funded left is who.

And how exactly are both Russia and the U.S. going to be "destroyed" in your scenario?

And as usual with this sort of comment, the Finns, Swedes, Poles, Lithuanians, Ukrainians, etc and etc dont seem to count.

This is manichaean thinking, where all these events seem to be explained as a simplistic battle between evil masterminds. News from the real world - there are vastly more players, interests, and machinations going on than fit in such a silly model.

And even the players assumed to be involved are collective entities with little unity, very few common interests, and vastly less genius available.

1. Who is "we"?

& nbsp; the Finns have decided by themselves that they want to join NATO - the USA didn't push them. If anything, RUSSIA has pushed them to join NATO

err.. the USA isn't getting destroyed. Putin is destroying Ukraine AND Russia

“We are treating a massively armed world power as if they were some tinpot dictatorship.”

More like Russia is acting as if they can still bully the whole world when they can’t even manage an invasion of the Ukraine. And it’s not working very well.

1. Pidor Putin is a tinpot dictator.
2. Russia is not the ‘massively armed world power’ that the USSR was. Russia can’t even conquer Ukraine.
3. Russia isn’t going to do dick about Finland joining NATO because that will mean war with NATO.
