Your post #32 argument is very odd. You are saying that because I feel it's important to understand Putin's motives, I want to dance in a field of daisies with him.

Disingenuous post. I was responding to you depicting Russia as possibly "on the defensive" against an aggressive United States and NATO.

That's surrender monkey language.

That's surrender monkey language.

That's a classic Straw Man argument: If you think Russia might be acting defensively, you must want to surrender to Russia. I'll give you the last word. I won't respond.
