    Ha!  Support Russia!  They only killed 4 million of you with a mass genocidal famine!  What's not to trust?

    Who's the bigger fool? The Afghan or the fools who believe?

    You ain’t going to war with Russia,  they’ll kick your ass.  The US got bogged down and lost in Afghanistan stands 0 chance against Russia and possibly China…in which both countries have been in overdrive creating a modern deadly military…

    The only war US has been successful at since WW2 is Grenada …

    These posts are embarrassing.  I mean,  being a Russian troll is pretty bad,  but at least you get paid. Doing it pro bono is so,  so sad.

    probably because the idea of americans and russians shooting at each other is a stupid one?

    and by the way, i see you banging war drums over here and then saying the us needs to be involved. 

    we are war weary. maybe you guys should go in and defend ukraine?

    oh wait, if you are in nato and russia invades ukraine, your people are getting sucked into it as well.

    Ukraine isn't a member,  it's a partner.  The legal obligation is not there. 

    I don't see Russia invading.  The downside is too great.  They will get hammered economically and it will turn into a guerilla war. Western Ukraine is not the Donbas region.  There is a clear national identity.  Russia will be a pariah state.  

    Ironically,  that POS Putin has been trying to divide the west for years.  He has now managed to unify it.  

    I hope I'm right and the invasion doesn't happen.  It will be a major humanitarian crisis.

    The US mostly sucks at assisting other countries in overthrowing regimes, unless there's oil involved or we get to use our nukes. To be fair, very few countries in the modern era are good at hostile ground invasions of another country.
    It's a hopeless situation...

    Well, it depends on the country.   The US took control of Afghanistan and Iraq back in the day pretty quickly.  The problem was getting the regime change to stick.

    I have said it so many times, but China and Russia are the reason there is so much unrest in the world.  People love to hate on the USA, but NK is propped up by China, and Iran is propped up by Russia.  China and Russia would be taking over countries left and right if no threat of retaliation by the US. 

    Yeah, the US isn’t perfect.  But China and Russian do no good for the rest of the world.

    Unfortunately the US gets its ass kicked in the war games simulations.

    It's because we have no taste for civilian casualties,  or our own.  We have the weapons to wipe everyone out but we won't use them.  I'm not saying we should, but we have the capability 100x over.

    Russia should let Ukraine do what they want, they are afraid that Ukraine will get to become members of Nato but they shouldn’t decide over Ukraine.
    Peace is the only answer.

    America doesn’t believe in peace.  They are a nation founded on violence and try to bully the world through world through violence…
    Gotta keep the military industrial complex going…

    They only spend 500 + billion per year on the war machine.  Imagine using some of that money for actual good..

    peace is not the American way…watch the evening news.

    What happens if America bows out of the military industrial complex? Power loves a vacuum, and if you think the States are the only disingenuous military-involved actors, I have a bridge to sell you.

    I prefer that he continues to melt down about it, all while supporting our gov't through his watching of the NFL, spending money on PJ. com and all of the other activities that feeds the coffers of the US military.  

    Thank you!
