Yes, so why shouldn't Russia use their weapons to attack the United States or our allies?

Not calling you stupid, but, that's a stupid question.

Russia knows there is a big difference between the U.S. and Ukraine. Ukraine is a much smaller target, and right next to Russia.

Ukraine doesn't have nuclear weapons and the Ukraine military is much smaller, so, when it comes to targets, Ukraine seemed to be a simple takeover. The U.S. is not so simple and Russia would be suicidal to go against the U.S. or its allies. A bully only picks on the smaller targets and easier targets. The U.S. has a much bigger military than Russia, and the U.S. has an economy at least 10 times bigger than Russia, where a strong economy is necessary to support any war effort.

So, was I right in calling your question, stupid?

Your implication/suggestion that Ukraine was a ‘target’/simple takeover is stupid.

The big problem with your point of view is that one has to ignore the history of how this situation was created that took us to this point. In other words, one has to suspend disbelief to buy into the Democrat/MSM narrative.

The Ukrainian people were duped into supporting the entertainer Zelensky and to a slightly lesser amount his predecessor Petro Poroshenko. Zelensky ran largely on promises that he would keep the peace with Russia but instead immediately began adopting provocative policy and initiatives. Under his “leadership” the country went from the most corrupt country in the world to one of the most corrupt countries in history. Even George Soros bragged that he had more influence over Ukraine than any other country in the world.

Democrat and DC swamp leadership of course immediately began exploiting the corrupt government that Soros, the CIA and other Western intelligence agencies had created. Was it any surprise that they used their Ukrainian puppet, Zelensky to try and impeach President Trump?

Ukraine became a cash cow and money laundering machine for DC Swamp politicians. Various means were used to transfer tax-payer dollars to political cronies in the US and Europe for nonsense “jobs” setup for their relatives to cryptocurrency schemes such as Sam Bankman-Fried's FTX cryptocurrency exchange. And let's not forget the bio-labs and other questionable endeavors set up in Ukraine.

I don't really need to delve further into the finer details here... even those such as yourself who cheer on our continued decent toward WWIII is well aware of this entire pile of feces. What causes a bunch of peaknik leftist idiots such as AOC and the squad to become unashamed war mongers? Piles of cash and deep state political influence... enough to keep them in power for the foreseeable future.

This war has nothing to do with stopping Russian aggression and everything to do with sleight of hand to further entrench the politically correct lefty cadre of idiots who have been running the show since President Trump was cheated out of office. The fact that you and others choose to ignore the obvious displays only your gullibility and how easy it is to influence those who celebrate war and chaos as long as a flag is waived in front of it.
