I wonder if you understand the situation in the US. Our southern border with Mexico is wide open, and invaders from the south and terrorists from all over the world can come here. We're being invaded from within, because of Democrats who want votes and globalist Republicans who want more power and more money. None of our politicians support average people. A rancher's family was assaulted by a government agency. Some of our cities are more violent than Ukraine is (no exaggeration). Our young people can't find work and people fall further into debt every day.

So, no, don't ask me to worry about Russia, a country that supports religion, stands up to homosexuals, has a flat tax, and an economy that's improving.

If the US would butt out, perhaps the EU would become more responsible for what's happening. The US is enabling Europe to not defend itself, while we're not defending our own homeland. If the US would get out of it, everyone would probably be better off if Germany, Poland, and Russia figured out what to do about Ukraine, which by all accounts has failed at nationhood.

“So, no, don’t ask me to worry about Russia”

I never ask an isolationist conspiracy type to worry about anything. It’s best just to correct them.

“a country that supports religion, stands up to homosexuals, has a flat tax, and an economy that’s improving.”

LOL. I see you have bought the Putin Propaganda. Putin is about as religious as Hitler was. Despots use religion and manipulate with religion to gain power or influence, they don’t believe in it or God. Russia’s paltry economy is improving due to its relative weakness and the price of oil going up. Go to Russia if you love it so. Just make sure you keep supporting Putin for his 16th year in office. But if you are wrong, you will be at the whim and mercy of the next tyrant to take over.

“If the US would butt out, perhaps the EU would become more responsible”

I don’t have to wonder. You know nothing about Europe.
