Heard stories about awful food in Russian Army. Ha ha.
Hahah, anxiety attacks?
Tell me you're a liberal without telling me you're a liberal.
Good gravy
Well, there’s a guy on YouTube (search for MRESteve) who has dedicated an entire channel to his eating of old MREs. Really weird and fascinating.
You're letting allegiances fool you. Much of Putin's modern power derives from Trump's insistence on retreating from the world stage. He was very much an isolationist. The world is too interconnected for that type of thing to happen while still being isolationist. Not to mention:
1.) Trump eased many of the sanctions in place from the 2014 annexation, which prompted many members of his own party to speak out.
2.) Trump walked away from Syria in coordination with Russia, giving Putin a big geopolitical win in a tough arena. In doing so, Trump walked away from decades of Kurdish relations.
3.) Trump spent much of his time trying to woo Kim Jong Un, a fruitless endeavor, while neglecting to even work with many of our most prominent allies.
4.) Less than a month into office, Trump spilled Israeli intel while meeting with Russia.
I could go on for awhile but it all surmises to this, Trump did very little internationally. He made valid points, Germany did need to increase defense spending and ween itself off of Russian oil, but he also facilitated many of the issues we face today.
He's not alone though. Biden botched Afghanistan so bad that he had to conjure a new strain of COVID just to get away from it. He's trying to be forceful now but I'm not sure it's going to work. He also has three more years to continue fumbling the bag, so...
Either way, Trump was arguably one of the worst we've had since Reagan, and you may want to look into some of Reagan's international policies, while we're at it.
Trump did, on tape, which he was later impeached for, attempt to withhold security assistance to Ukraine in exchange for dirt on a political rival.
I mean, I think it’s natural to have a little concern about this stuff. This is the first time since the end of the Cold War that we’ve really had to worry, even a little, about nuclear war. As unlikely as it is, Vladimir Putin is clearly willing to push the envelope. It’s concerning. This ain’t Little Rocket Man. Putin is a killer.
This is a concerning time in our lives. Wrong decisions can lead to increased escalation and US/world involvement. I hope and pray this de-escalates but we’ve been on the brink of conflict with Russia for a long time. I think we should support people with general concerns and not bully them because you assume they have a different political ideology from you.
This might be the greatest advertisement for the Second Amendment ever. At least in America we wouldn't have to hand out guns and ammo.
That’s what I told my girl too. We got more guns than people.
How did Russia get into Syria? Who dropped the ball while 400000 Syrians were killed? When Obama back tracked from the red line it emboldened Russia, and they acted.
Why do you think Trump was trying to woo NK? What did NK not do after that, that they just did this past week?
Obama was an abject failure in his foreign policy, and it’s continued under his puppet.

1. https://edition.cnn.com/2018/11/08/politics/treasury-russia-crimea-sanctions/index.html (Big No. on that one)
2. The US needed to be bogged down in another war in the Middle East, that is definitely the way to go. Are you were willing to have Americans die for Syria? How about for Ukraine?
3.Trying to create peace with someone who is on a path to create a nuclear state is never wrong.
4.Yep, dumb.
Israel has given Russia the freedom to protect Syria not the USA
the other thing is this. If you’re an American president and you watch this build up you sanction his ass BEFORE they invade. You arm Ukraine to the teeth bEFORE Putin threatens nuke war. You work to prevent you don’t want to react and let Putin dictate what the rest of the world does. Biden chose to lead from behind and missed the window to try and avoid massive war. This is the beginning not the end
What I said wasn’t a defense of what Putin is doing. Ukraine has had an issue with neo-Nazis in their country. Ukraine has formally incorporated a Nazi battalion into their military. It’s ok to condemn what Putin is doing and Ukraine bringing in Nazi battalions into their military.
Lol. I just got back from spear fishing as the sun was setting and could see the volcanos bc it’s very clear today. I mean it hasn’t rained since December and won’t until late April or may. It’s was beautiful and peaceful. I am blessed to have been here through the pandemic and this mess but Nicaragua is very close. Ortega rules with an iron fist using soviet era tanks. There is an on and off civil war in that country. The Russians have two stations in Nicaragua that are used as a staging ground to spy on the USA. So Ortega and Putin are friends. That doesn’t instill alot of confidence in me because CR has no military. I have 6 machetes ready to go if Nicaragua goes stupid. Which in the scheme of nut job dictators Ortega and his VP witch wife are at the top of the list.
Will the west kill Putin?
Somebody surely can. Hopefully, we have learned since WW2. Don't set the bomb under heavy Oak tables.

I like you, I really do, but sometimes I like you a little less…
Surely either we or one of our allies has a drone equipped with a guided missile with Putin's name on it.
The stuff with the Nazi battalions started well before this war with Russia.
I assume someone in his inner circle is a Ukrainian agent. Or some other country. British intelligence are masters at this. And I'm not getting that from James Bond. Austin Powers maybe.
let’s hope the Russian oligarchs can get to him
Apparently we have no Nazis in this country after all. The media has us all fooled.
My mistake?
My mistake?
81 million disagree with kissing dictators asses
So does my wife. Excellent company.I like you, I really do, but sometimes I like you a little less…
The plan was to assassinate Hitler during his morning exercise, as he walked unprotected to the Teehaus on Mooslahnerkopf Hill from the Berghof residence. The scheme called for the SOE to parachute a German-speaking Pole and a British sniper into Austria. An "inside man" was recruited, the uncle of a prisoner of war named Dieser, who was a shopkeeper living in nearby (20 km) Salzburg, identified as "Heidentaler", who was vehemently anti-Nazi.[1] Heidentaler would shelter the agents and transport them to Berchtesgaden disguised as German mountain troops (Gebirgsjäger), from where they would make the approach to the vantage point for the attack.[2]

If the West takes out Putin, it would have to take out Shoigu, Sechin, and a host of other Russian leaders, too. Some of Putin's potential successors have the potential to make Putin look like a saint by comparison and probably wouldn't take his killing too well.
I’m going to defend Biden, brace yourself James.
He is in a weak position right now, we can argue about how we got here later.
The one thing that can actually hurt Putin is sanctions on Russian energy, if Biden does that it hurts the world economy, and Russia still takes Ukraine. It also likely pushes China and Russia to abandon the dollar completely. All bad
If the US sits by as Ukraine falls it likely makes more of our Allies not in Western Europe question our commitment. Russia gets Ukraine or whatever portion they want. China sees how we react to an invasion, and they’re going to try to get Taiwan, it’s just a matter of time.
We defend Ukraine militarily, and China sees it as an excuse to go after Taiwan, and we’re likely in a world war.
This is a very serious situation we’re in right now, besides Ukraine.
