[How long before Russia just attacks us directly. We are at war with them. I don’t give a S*** what anyone else says.]


Russia attacked us directly in Korea and Vietnam. The conflict stayed within Korea and Vietnam.

I doubt the Russians want to expand to expand the conflict outside of Ukraine. They’ve got their hands full as it is. Even if US troops intervened in Ukraine the way the Russians intervened in Korea and Vietnam, the Russians would likely keep the war *inside* Ukraine. The principal lesson of history is that if you encounter difficulties on a given battlefield, it almost never pays to add to the number of opponents you’re fighting.

Thanks Zhang Fei. By its own choice, Russia is at war with us, and that's been the case since the Soviet era. Same Russian ****, different day, same type of slow learner at the Russian helm. With little help, Ukraine has kicked the ever-lovin' **** out of our common enemy, and will continue to do so, irrespective of what the Russia-supporting VPN troll brigade continues to spew. Keep up your good work.
