What a surprise. Yet another Baby Boomer (Putin) ruining the world. Can we just kick out and get rid of all boomers running countries in the world? They are the worst generation of leaders ever. Putin still thinks it is 1968. Xi thinks it is 1957. Biden doesn't even know what's going on and he's friggin silent generation. Just get rid of all of these horrible old people running the planet they are decades behind the times. |
No good options for Ukraine. But NATO with heavy US involvement should send troops and a substantial air force to Romania and other neighboring NATO countries to try to contain this at the Ukraine. |
Putin knows just what year it easy. Russia is a third rate power with a third rate military and he is really punching above his weight. He will get what he wants but will not likely provoke a US confrontation as he can't win that and he knows it. Xi knows what year it is. He knows if he does not get things settled soon in his country and in Taiwan his position will get weaker not stronger. Both leaders can see what stupid Americans cannot. The US is rising not sinking. The US is the sole military and economic superpower and Russia and China are falling behind our technologies -- just look at hypersonics. In 30 years neither Russia nor China will be able to deal with the US. That is why the world is in chaos now. If they wait they lose and they know this. |
Sure there is, it's called the Salvador Option. We pick a side in Ukraine, flood those rebels with a guaranteed stream of weapons and training, and let them loose on Russian soldiers and their pro-Russian proxies in Ukraine. These rebels will commit horrific war crimes against Russia over years, while Americans forget and turns their attention to some other topic that's the flavor of the week. |
That makes ZERO sense. None. If Trump was no threat, Putin should’ve been running rampant through Ukraine and possibly other places, knowing that he’d be unchallenged in doing so since “he had his puppet in the whitehouse”. That’s what you do if you’re a Putin. You make your moves when you know you won’t be challenged. Because that’s the path of least resistance. Waiting - as you suggest - until you have a perceived threat in your opposition would be stupid. Wouldn’t you rather time your invasion for when you won’t experience any pushback? Your answer is cognitively implausible. Putin is a lot of things, but stupid isn’t one of them. He, like all bullies, will always choose a time of vulnerability to strike. It is completely absurd to imagine that he’d wait until the times when his chief adversary is stronger to make a move. So again, explain it to me. |
I think we should just declare war on Russia. It would render a significant chunk of the GOP legal traitors overnight, and then we could get them in jails and out of public life. |

The U.S. is rising? How so? |
Invasion is not an incursion, said Biden. To prepare everyone that he will do nothing. And he should do nothing. Enough with this warmongering. Let's spend the money of our people and our country. |
Every way that you can think of. If we could screw it up we would but the momentum is taking us. Our economy is pulling away from most of the world. Our culture is overtaking even China in ways that are upsetting to them. Militarily the thought always was China would catch up. If you look at the recent purported US breakthrough in hypersonics and in other areas, it creates real problems for China. The breakthrough is battery technology is happening here. Most tech breakthroughs are happening here. And we are growing. The moment to try to screw with us is now not 20 years from now. That is what makes it a scary place. |
You can’t be serious. China’s hypersonic tech is far outpacing ours. |
No it's not. US has had a series of major breakthroughs. US is in driver's seat. |
