“Nothing contradictory in noting Russia is evil AND that Russia is likely to win no matter what we do.”
If we engaged with US troops and air power and fought a real war, the war would be over quickly. The Russian logistic line to Ukraine is very long and can only exist if no serious power is attacking it. OTOH, if we were to fight a real war, would go nuclear rather quickly as soon as we took out Russia’s logistics. So I would be hesitant to say Russia is likely to win no matter what we do.
But we would be fighting a desperately weak but fully nuclear power and the attack on logistics would be seen as existential for the current regime in Russia. I don’t like where that goes.
When are you going to post memes mocking the Kremlin Neocon warmongering and 4-ever war machine instead?
The Moscow deep-state seems obsessed cultivating wars everywhere and annexing other peoples stuff. The never-ending war-frenzy you support has no future.
The Russian people are trying to flee Neo-soviet Russia whenever possible.
1,5 million Russians managed to flee their country in the nick of time when the war started. They did great !
I support the Russian people and the Ukrainian people.
Why don’t you at the very least support the Russian people? Why support the rich Moscow deep state apparatchiks (at the expense of the Russian people?
“Without France. No USA.”
That’s an overstatement. Without France, Cornwallis would not have had to surrender when he did the way he did. But the French did not drive him into Yorktown. The French kept him from escaping. But even had Cornwallis been able to escape Yorktown by sea, it was a huge defeat for the Brits.
The war would have gone on. But the colonies may well have outlasted the Brits in what followed.
After WWII, President Charles de Gaulle was anything but grateful for our role in WWII. So, like I said our repayment to France is ancient history now.
As a French descent to this nation, I would never consider myself anything other than an American, and a proud one at that.
So, I repeat, take your BS elsewhere.

Why is China not on your list?
Quite possibly true. Russia's Red Army might well have rolled right to the Atlantic, as Stalin intended.
Just after the WW2 Tehran Conference, Stalin said to a journalist, (roughly translated):"It's high time the Slavic race was in charge of Europe." He meant it literally. American power stopped him. The turning point might have been Berlin Airlift.
Putin is resurrecting all the worst of the Soviet era evil-doers, including even Felix Dzerzhinsky. Moscow's intention of subsuming all of Europe to Russian hegemony survives to this day.
Tucker Carlson also believes in flying saucers full of extraterrestrial aliens.

“Why is China not on your list?”
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>.
I do include China most of the times on our common enemies lists I post here.
China is indeed part of the “outer circle” of the Russian Alliance, because they are so far not yet shipping weapons to Russia. They are 100% politically allied to Russia though and are shipping vital components to the Russian industry, violating sanctions.
In my previous comment I omitted China, because I was concentrating on Russia’s “inner circle” of co-belligerent countries - the direct military collaborators of Russia: IRAN, North Korea, Belarus. All communist and/or Islamic dystopian nations... They are causing great harm to TWO of Americas allies: Israel and Ukraine - and they are a common threat to Europe, American and Western interests in general.

Well said.
Even Churchill could not have said it any better!
Well as you see by opening the link, they posted it full caps. Right?
Nothing I can do about it.

Tell me why Putin didn't go further after his intrusion into Georgia at the behest of the Georgian president, Mikheil Saakashvili, at that time in 2008 to quell what was claimed to be an attempt of insurrection?
You keep insisting that Putin has all of these nefarious designs on Europe without producing scintilla of evidence to support that claim. But the reality is that Putin has his hands full in Ukraine. Ukraine is running out of manpower which will ultimately be the real cause of Ukraine's downfall.
All you have to do is read Putin’s guidestars, Aleksandr Dugin and Ivan Ilych. Or read speeches of his military leadership. But you won’t because it would destroy your preconceived ideas about the world.
“We picked Russia as an enemy...”
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Excuse me?
Do you realize what you just said?
Here is an analogy:
Person A says:
“Antifa attacked my neighbors’ homes, they killed everyone, and burned their homes to the ground.
So now I consider Antifa as my enemy and I’m ready to fight them off and eliminate them if they attack my neighborhood again!”
Person B responds:
“So you picked Antifa as your enemy huh..? Why are you such an aggressive warmonger!?” , “Antifa only wants peace.”
......
So no. We didn’t pick Russia as or enemy...
Russia is the one who picked the West as its enemy. After all we have zero troops in Russia, but Russia has invaded and annexed our allies’ territories with Russian troops all over the place! : In Crimea, Donbas, in an attempt to take Kiev the Capital of Ukraine, Georgia, Moldova... and Russia is allied to Iran and Hamas. Russia launched its proxy Iran/Isreal/Hamas war. Have you forgotten that? Shouldn’t we care about our Israeli allies?

It’s about time for every American and “law and order” individuals to start condemning the Kremlin deep-state warmongering frenzy. Russia’s 4-ever wars policies must end.
“So you are a dove then. Right? You are so scared about a single shot being fired...”
Speaking for myself, I was career military as was my Dad. All three kids have been in the military, two in the Middle East. My Dad died in Vietnam and he made it clear, before he went, that he hated war.
War is not the answer for everything. War is hideous and yes, it is true that bad people sometimes WIN in a war.
Am I willing to do whatever it takes to stop Russia in Ukraine? No. Neither are the vast majority of Americans, because it MIGHT require our troops on the ground and or nukes.
Jesus said, “Or what king, going out to encounter another king in war, will not sit down first and deliberate whether he is able with ten thousand to meet him who comes against him with twenty thousand? And if not, while the other is yet a great way off, he sends a delegation and asks for terms of peace.”
I trust Jesus over “USA-FRANCE”.
