Start reading about the concrete and expensive and even politically costly reactions of dozens of nations to Russia’s invasion, even Japan has launched its biggest military buildup since WWII triggered by Putin.
You aren’t paying attention and think this is just a trivial “distraction” by people and governments who don’t pay attention and are merely distracted.
Try reading what I provided you. Then look around as to what is happening in our nation. The invasion of our borders, with flights into US states on the parole arrangement. You idiots refuse to see that we are the target, and that this administration is orchestrating the invasion of millions of predominately military aged men. Then we will move on to your claims that make little sense in the scheme of things.
Also, provide me the proof that Russia & Putin want to take all of Europe. They can barely conquer Ukraine. Putin's Russia, has nowhere near the capabilities that Stalin's USSR had.
As for Japan they have been rebuilding their military since 1952, after preventing them from doing so after the end of WWII. They have increasingly been given more & more freedom to do so as the years passed, and they continue doing so to this day. I suspect their increase in defense building lies more in their fear of China who they brutally attacked in WWII as their CCP becomes ever more powerful. Russia may have played a small role, but I doubt they have as much fear of them as they do China.
Bottom line is that, yes I do stand by my claim that you Zeepers do not fully understand that Ukraine is the distraction being offered up to keep your attention focused on Ukraine, and that we need to fear Russia.
