I lived through it. I know what happened. I don't know how old you are, but it was Reagan who finally forced the USSR over, after years of a mostly United Western Front against the Soviets.

On all the rest we'll just have to see won't we. The European and the US are meeting this week. Let's see what they come up with.

I don't think you understand who Putin is. He does not fricking care.

You think Putin is invincible? Don't you think he has enemies internally?

And why not help out the Ukrainians with conventional weapons? You're ok with the Russians running roughshod over them, and anyone else who gets in the way of their quest to restore the Soviet Union?

quote:

Put NATO troops in Poland and further east if possible.

um what planet do you live on thats been happening

Typo. Omitted the word "more".

The point of my original post is that an aggressive Putin was a foregone conclusion once he saw a weakened Bush, and a President who is silly enough to send over a Re-Set button and draw shifting Red Lines in the sand . How do you think Mr Tough Guy reacted to that?

That was one of the factors but the USSR was just not able to sustain its self throwing that along with the people in other countries they tried to wipe out standing up for themselves.

No but Putin is just does not care and has been known to have his enemies fall off the face of the earth.

Yes since proxy wars work out so great esp for our Gov't.

If Romney was president Putin would have done the same shite. His ideology does not care what other world leaders think. He does what he thinks is best for Russia and he believes in restoring the Russian Empire. To think if we had someone else in officer this would not happen is just silly.
