    I wonder what falsifying Russians intervention in the 2016 election did to relations?

    The West has become weak due to the poison of the left.

    This will not end well for all of us.

    Every single one of you are saying to yourselves that you wish Trump was still in power - even those that won't admit it aloud.

    This is an absolute disaster. We pushed Putin into Xi's arms. Taiwan is next and we have no clue who has been coming across our Southern border for the last 13 months.

    Buy supplies - Make sure you have plenty of water.

    Amusing to see people mock those that are ready.

    With leaders like the one you vote for we are in trouble.

    But don't worry - Someone will come and save us starting in 22.

    thethe doesn't deal in nuance. Ukraine is a calculated risk for Putin. He can't militarily take on the west nor does he want to try. He wants to bring Russia back to global prominence and he needs western money to do that.

    The world is interconnected these days. A dead enemy is someone who can no longer buy anything from you.

    This is rich coming from you based on your stances on the vaccine and masks.

    Either way - If you think that SANCTIONS are going to deter Putin now that he has over a billion people in China to sell things to as well as a starving western world for energy then I'll just quietly snicker and wait for you to be wrong again.

    Who blinks first? The West or Putin.

    When people are freezing without energy in the West we will see how much backbone the elitists in the West have as their people suffer for their wars.

    What exactly is your proposed solution? War?

    My solution was to not install an illigimiate president and keep the peace through strength policy.

    My solution would have been to not create a fake state in Ukraine that is ran by western elitists to instigate Putin.

    My solution would have been to ally with Russia and not accuse them of a fake collusion hoax.

    Those that think "Sanctions" will do anything will have a rude awakening soon.

    What should we do?

    End all trade with China.
    Massive restart of Americas energy independence.
    Stop the woke nonsense and realize that MEN should be in the military.

    And of course - Impeach the fake president/VP and let the next speaker of the house take control. We all know who I want that to be.

    The botched withdrawal in Afghanistan was all Putin/Xi needed to see.

    Everyone, and I mean EVERYONE, knows that this would have never happened had the truly elected president been in power.

    True, but a cyber attack by him or another bad actor on our power grid is a definite possibility. I don't even want to think about the damage this would cause.

    At least our military is inclusive now!!!

    That should make everyone feel comfortable as nations like Russia/China have maintained that masculinity is not only a good thing but is essential to peace and strength.
