“, I cannot fathom how anyone who professes to care about this country argues that we back down to these threats.”
You’re naive. Our countries and leaders BACK DOWN daily for money and sextortion. At least survival is something the rest of us can enjoy.
Let me guess...you believed the TV when they said Iraq had weapons of mass destruction also.
TURN OFF YOUR TV!!!!
So what's your point here? That Russia really doesn't have nuclear weapons, and really isn't threatening first use??
TURN OFF YOUR TV!!!!
Wow. We cut the cord years ago, and don't have either broadcast or cable news in this house. I made the decision to do that when Fox News hired Donna Brazile after CNN fired her for leaking debate questions to Hillary Clinton's campaign. So instead of watching talking heads on TV, we read.
However, my suggestion is that you quit watching conspiratorial YouTube videos, because those are an even bigger unreliable cesspool that is the mainstream media.
