i don’t really know what so called rules are in place for this, but if I were the Russians, I would not tolerate a hostile state so close to my heartland. Every time in history this has happened, the Russians have subsequently been invaded.
Put another way, try putting nukes on Cuba and lets see how we react to that, rules be damned.
and with NATO breaking their word about no expansion (and that includes our US Govt), I wouldn’t trust the word of any Nato nation unless I, too, were working from a position of strength.
Aside from that, the greatest importance this has for us is the speed with which the Russians took the Ukes down. Our guys have been fighting bubba-Hoteps and ragheads for 20 years - we’re a loooong way from the time when we could fight a peer-to-peer war - and win. We should take this display, learn from it, Cowboy up and start TRAINING our MILITARY to WIN WARS and not dick around with this metro-sexical, diversity woke, gaydar shit.
Thank you Clinton, Obama, Bush 43 and now Biden for selling our secrets to China, for emasculating our military, for bankrupting our forces, hollowing out our Navy - and leaving us in such an endangered state.
Why, if one were to consider what an enemy could possibly achieve if he were bent on destroying our Nation -— could the actions of these four men be any different?
