Once again, you will not find someone more appalled and disgusted by our domestic situation (and warned for DECADES now) and the China virus and the biomedical security State and Woke insanity than I. What's amazing is how so many of you give Putin a pass simoly because the evil idiots in our country use him as a prop to distract. He is as evil and dangerous as the despots of old; he invaded a sovereign country that posed him no risk whatsoever. It's remarkable how many people have bought the silly narrative that NATO presents some sort of a threat to Russia. What do you think the chances are that NATO would ever invade sovereign (and nuclear!) Russia? It's ridiculous in the extreme. Putin and the leftover protocommunists use it as an excuse to try to "reconstitute the Soviet empire" which is exactly what Putin said he would do, including saying the "greatest tragedy of the 20th century was the dissolution of the Soviet empire". It just enraged him to give up all of his slaves whose lives and cultures and families the Soviets were destroying. He aims to reverse that.

Trump and anyone with half a brain knew Nordstream would give Russia an opportunity to do whatever they want because they would have Europe by the balls. They didn't think one move ahead, that if Russia does invade someone, what the hell is the West going do about it once dependent upon them for essential energy? As soon as Brandon stole the election, Putin knew it was game over, he could do whatever the hell he wanted because we were shutting down energy production as he promised. America has become a banana republic without legitimate collections, it's time to act.

Just because our domestic enemies use Putin as a prop to distract does not in any way mean that he's not a terrible threat and a proven butcher. He is killing human beings by the scores without any remorse or care. Too many Americans have absolutely no idea what real war on their own territory means. They shoot their mouths off about other peoples' lives like it was nothing. Ukraine is a massive human tragedy, and the Christian thing to do is everything we can to ease suffering in this humanitarian crisis - the hottest war in the world right now - along with the domestic humanitarian crises we have right here in America, precipitated by left-wing policies. It's not either-or.

Lastly, we are probably screwed either way: can you imagine that Brandon has something like a 45% approval rating? Sadly, I believe the polls. Anything above 10% (the moron quota) means that we are dealing with self-destructive delusional fools on a colossal scale.

Any Republican of integrity in Congress right now ought be condemning Brandon and his henchmenpeople as a warped and destructive force in this country, while also condemning Putin as a murdering butcher who cares not a whit about human life.

With due respect, there is so much drivel in this response of yours that would take several months of Sundays to unravel it all. And so, as to this particular Gordian Knot of the Grandiose, I'll be content to let the readers undertake the evaluation.

I will mention this, that under the old rule of Christian Law in this country, there was often heard such sage advice as 'mind your own business' and 'tend to your own gardens'. There is much wisdom in this. And so instead of embroiling ourselves in endless debates over such folly as to the merits of just one more mindless, pointless and insanely costly proxy war engineered, we'd be much better off in building up our own country, riding ourselves of Woke Marxist tyrants ... and putting an end to the Fifth Generation covert Terror War being waged domestically against the American People.

"Drivel".

The Iron Law of Pseudo-analytical Projection...

Just stick with the straight anti-Marxist theme. Keep it simple.

I'll have a beer with someone else and doubtless it's mutual. Godspeed.

Of course NATO is a threat to Russia. We lied when we said we would not advance one inch eastward after the collapse of the Soviet Union. We promptly came forth with the Wolfowitz Doctrine. Read it on Wikipedia. We have had designs on Russia for years—all those natural resources, all the opportunities for corruption and fraud by oligarchs like in Ukraine? You bet our neocons salivate over destroying Russia. They have think tank planning sessions every year, contests actually, on how best to divide the spoils. How do you feel about China buying off Mexico and putting military bases there on our southern border? Then arming them with nuclear weapons capable of reaching a major American city in 6 minutes? I’m not ok with that and the Russians are not ok with the overt aggressive policies of the West. While you are reading about the Wolfowitz Doctrine, read the latest Rand Report, then tell me our neocons have no intent to harm. The Minsk Accords were a farce, they were never intended to bring a solution to Ukraine. Merkel admits this now. Russia has valid security concerns, based on our actions over the last 30 years. We no longer honor our treaties, in fact we laugh at the idea of doing so. (See Pompeo’s boasting laughter saying “we lied, we cheated, we stole”. Is this the kind of foreign policy we should be proud of?
