Think about it from their perspective - How proud of a people the Russians are...especially the old KGB guys in charge.

Maybe from a sane perspective its not but that is not the chess pieces on the board currently.

Old Soviet Pride is what's currently destroying Russia.

I'm not sure how any of this is our fault. We did not put Putin in charge.

We need to understand the global players - Especially the ones with the largest nuclear arsenal on the planet.

Everything should be done to avoid war. Instigating an old KGB guy by 'infilitrating' his native lands is the exact opposite of that.

We weren't infiltrating their lands.

Putin had a puppet in Ukraine 10 years ago like he currently has in Belarus.

Ukrainian people kicked out said puppet. Putin got mad. Ukrainian people wanted to be more free.

I put that in quotation marks because that is what he would think.

We aren't dealing with people that think like we do. That should never be forgotten.

Only Trump truly understood how to deal with the Russians. He could speak their language.

Just like when he threw his own Director of National Intelligence under the bus to appease Putin standing right next to him.

Gotta say here, after watching this invasion conflict the last 5 days, that Vladimir Putin is NOT as great of a 4D or 8D chess player as The Great Donald Trump.

I mean - Trump was right about this in light of recent revelations.

Maybe our intelligence agencies are just like Putin and they have their own agenda to grind out.

Trump was about the most anti-Putin president that we have had.

Crushed their energy position as well as armed Ukrainians.

Maybe you should let that narrative die. It makes you look rather silly.
 
The same guy who wanted Russia back in the G7. The issue isnt so much collusion as it is Trump views Putin as his model of what he wants to be here.

Yeah, I don't know why people think we should placate Vlad. He's shown nothing but total disregard for anyone. He didn't even regard many of his closest allies. Most believe that Erdogan and Xi 2 of his most powerful allies are pissed right now.
 
Wow you know the heats real when FIFA finally gets **** right and bans Russian soccer teams from international competition, either club or country. Maybe even the IOC would have the stones if there was a chance.

Finally is doing a lot of work in your post. Their hand was forced by the players and national federations of Sweden, Poland and the Czech Republic announcing they would not be playing Russia under any circumstances in the upcoming qualifiers.

FIFA has proven to be plenty corrupt enough in the past.
