    Yeah, yeah, and Trump is a Russian asset. I've heard this kind of rhetoric for over five years. Russia, Russia, Russia. The real threat to America is sadly, American elites. Blame the American elites!
    Classic commie brainwash victim.

    Who are these American elites you blame for your terrible living standard you are suffering through here in the USA?

    I've been following this Ukranian soldier on YouTube.




    You have a missing missing Russian friend? Try here, NOTE they (the ruskies) keep trying to hack it to stop it from being displayed so may not be up when you try. Viewer discretion STRONGLY advised. With all these man pads my opinion of armor has changed, I don't want to be anywhere near one of those rolling crock pots.
    Manpads are air defense:
    "Man Portable Air Defense System"
    That said being a Russian tanker would be low on my "would be a cool gig" list right now, as would a Russian pilot...

    Just because our living standards are good today does not mean I want them to be shitty tomorrow. Your statement is akin to "don't pay any attention to those criminals over there mugging everyone. They haven't mugged you yet, so why are you complaining?"


    Communism (whether it be China or Russia) plays the long game. They know they can not destroy America overnight and a military option against the U.S. is impractical (at this point anyway). Look at our Universities and educational systems....they are not teaching the 3 Rs anymore, they are teaching social justice issues and how to embrace one's feelings. Is this because of Communist infiltration into the education systems or just because of a moral/national pride decline? I think one could argue both.

    Commies never had pride for our country, no decline. And yes I am well aware of the dirt bags abusing our children in schools. These commie dirt bags brainwash the children to hate successful Americans.

    Here’s an excellent, unbiased look at the whole situation by Jim Rickards.

    It opens with a Churchill quote:
    “In wartime, truth is so precious that she should always be attended by a bodyguard of lies”

    Interesting, but I'm not sure I would consider it unbiased.

    "Here’s the real story: Russia’s invasion is the end result of 14 years of provocation by the West, including repeated declarations that Ukraine will join NATO and a U.S.-backed coup d’état in 2014 that displaced a pro-Russian president.

    Russia never planned a blitzkrieg on Kyiv. That’s a Western invention intended to make Putin look like a failure. In fact, Russia is slowly and methodically taking territory in the south and east of Ukraine in order to control the seacoasts, eliminate pro-fascist elements in Mariupol and establish pro-Russian autonomous zones in Donbas."

    Enough BS there for me not to bother reading the rest of the article.

    I think Rickards understands what is happening, but this article doesn't tell all he knows.

    My greatest fear is that Biden and his cohorts will get desperate... Thankfully, many Americans are beginning to see through the globalist's plans.

    Trump threw a wrench into their works and forced their hand before they were really ready. Now that they can see the tide turning against them, they may do something we will all regret in order to shift the advantage further in their favor.

    As it is, they have nearly destroyed the world economy by their attempts to gain control of the whole of it through sanctions against those who won't play the game their way...

    I don’t think there are any truly unbiased sources. There are some sources who try to keep their bias from swaying their conclusions.

    Somebody posted above about never knowing the real truth, and that’s probably pretty accurate. While I’ve disagreed with quite a few people in this thread I think we all are just trying to sift through the available information and give our opinions based on what we think will allow the most positive outcome for the US.


    Unlike politicians, I’m pretty sure everyone here prioritizes the good prosperity of our own nation first. We just disagree on how to get there.

    Well. . . . . .

    What would George Washington do?

    Thomas Jefferson?

    Andrew Jackson?

    George Patton ?

    Ronald Reagan?

    Time is growing short !

    We may well regret our "wait and see" tendency !

    Pootin is looting. Greed is the reason for this war.

    Only fools are getting distracted with stories of nazis and putin being worried about a nato invasion of russia. There are more neo nazis in Russia than Ukraine. nato isn't fighting russia now so the belief that nato was a threat is obviously stupid.
