The real war is right here. We fall then freedom falls and the world falls. The enemy is within. DEMOCRATS are methodically destroying everything they have any power over. They are FUNDAMENTALLY TRANSFORMING AMERICA right in front of our eyes. Right now they are wining. I know some here see it. I see more clearly maybe because I am the probably older than 99% here which simply means I have seen and experienced more. There are a hand full here that are either willfully part of this destruction or either too young or too ignorant to see it. Keep your powder dry.
Putin didn't expect trump to lose the election and had no reason to invade Ukraine while trump was in office because he felt that his orange idiot puppet was doing enough already to emasculate NATO. When Biden won, instead, Putin felt he had to strike while NATO had been demoralized. He made three big underestimations: most importantly, of the desire of Ukrainians to be their own country free of Russian dictatorship, the bond among Western democracies in general and among NATO members in particular, and the persuasiveness and resolve of Biden, himself. And one big overestimation: the might of his own military. Instead of weakening NATO, Putin has made that alliance stronger and more resolute than ever, and the ineffectiveness of the Russian military has been exposed. Biggest international blunder since Operation Barbarrosa.
It’s funny. Russia is losing the war, yet still a threat to NATO and we need to keep giving Ukraine Billions, but Russia is “losing”.
Russia is a threat because it’s an aggressive led by a manic who wants to recreate a greater Russia that encompasses the old Soviet Union and Warsaw Pact. He has at least the second largest nuclear arsenal in the world and has threatened to use it. This over rides the incompetence of its conventional arms.
