re: The U.S. has to step up and do whatever it takes to prevent Russia from reviving the USSR.

This nation is not capable of winning a major conflict any longer. We don't have the will, we don't have the people, we don't have the leadership.

This is a wealthy, but weak country and I count myself in that tally. And now we have the weakest and stupidest faction of political power running this nation that we ever have. They may stupid us into war, but they could never win it.

Terrible take.

First off We can’t handle both China and a stronger Russia in any form. We can’t win that fight today. Second Putin is KGB through and through. He thinks the Soviet Union should have never fell. He has flags of Lenin hanging in one recent photo. Do you think he did that because he thinks Lenin is good looking? No he is a commie at heart and wants the glory days back. It doesn’t matter if he can or will have the power as the old USSR or not. In his delusional mind he thinks he can get back to the glory days. The reason we did not have WW3 during the Cold War era was because of a policy called M.A.D. Look it up. Diplomacy works a lot better when each side can annihilate each other 40 times over. War is coming. China has been telling us for years. Putin laid it out in his speech the other day that was delusional but still thinks he can boss us around because of our idiot politicians. It is to late to bluff anymore and he is not interested in talking. That doesn’t leave to many options. These dictators around the world are telling us what they are going to do when they are ready. Just like Bin Laden did. When are we going to start believing them. The world is going to have to fight Russia and China together either now or someday down the road. Why not take one out now by any means necessary and isolate the other. If we can get it done without firing a shot then great that’s even better. But why are we waiting around when these people have been killing Americans for years anyway. China has killed Millions with Covid and drugs the cartels push.Russia has sold weapons to everyone we have fought against. how many boys have died in Korea, Vietnam, and Iraq and Afghanistan buy Russian made and sold weaponry. We are already at war basically. How many more American bodies do we have to bury before we get tired of these people? War? We have been at war for a long time it’s just nobody wants to admit it.

China launched a biological weapon on the world on purpose for god sake that has killed millions around the world and nobody is pissed about it. Where are the consequences for that.

Yet your focus is on Russia? In the long run, Russia may be a threat, but it is not the major threat. China is.

An NBC reporter, Hadley Gamble, just said "at the very least, this was the ultimate failure of diplomacy." Unfortunately, that failure reflects who we are, who we elected, and how we did it.

This administration has no capacity to even slow a Taliban assault. We've installed military imbeciles as our Joint Chiefs. You really want these fools putting our troops on the ground on Russia's borders?

Well I would be willing but I’m to old now. The problem is you wouldn’t. People like you would wait till they showed up on our doorstep before you took your heads out of the sand. The past is prologue. It has a habit of repeating itself. Putin just ripped a page out of Hitlers playbook. I don’t have to get hit on the head with a ton of history books before I learn from it.

So maybe Europe should actually take the butt plug out of it's arse for once and stand up for itself

Yep. Maybe they are starting to look back on their choices regarding social programs rather than beefing up their military since daddy US is here to protect them

Funny all the harsh words coming from China.
