[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Putin once said  in an interview “if you stretch rubber band it snaps back”.
I feel like politicians are forgetting we are stretching a nuclear power nation.[/quote]

im gonna bite and remind you that putin stretched the rubber band in question, not anyone else. And what else would we do? Just let it happen? How conciliatory you are. [/quote]

1)We should have not expanded NATO membership once the USSR collapsed.
2) I would have said we are not expanding NATO to your door steps.

Americans are almost incapable of realizing other countries have interests similar to their own and act in similarly predictable ways.

What do you think would happen if China decided to install missile silos/garrison an army/etc etc in Mexico with the full cooperation of their government?  Actually, think is the wrong word.  What do you KNOW would happen?

Now look at Ukraine and Russia and see if you can put two and two together and work out how this entire situation could have [b]easily[/b] been avoided.[/quote]

i agree with you that Americans dont understand that other countries may have the interest (if they had the strenght), to act like the US.  but in this case, Ukraine was not in Nato, was nowhere near being admitted to into Nato, there was no threat whatsoever of missiles being installed in Ukraine any time soon.  Russia started a violenti invasion of the entire country with carpet bombing of cities, civilian targets, widepsread massacres of civilians  and so on. this is not because of Nato, is because Ukraine was getting closer to be a successful western democracy.

[b]as a result, Russia will have a long border with a Nato country, Finland. let's see how that works. Finland has an arny, is in the EU so an attack to Finland would be an attack to the EU, which has many countries in Nato[/b]. [/quote]

Russia may not give a shit about Finland, did you count that into your equation? If they care less to attack Finland then what? [/quote]

Then they'll get their ass kicked on two fronts.  [/quote]
