[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I want to see Russian bled dry and right now, our policy and treasure is doing that. I think we're committed at this point and pulling back would only emboldened Putin. How much have we spent? $10+ billion? It's a small price to pay to see one of our biggest adversaries reduced to a third-rate power.[/quote]

I mean… they’ve always been third rate. But it’s delightful to have it displayed for all the world to see.[/quote]

A third rate army is sitting on 20% of Ukraine.  It's hard to imagine what a second rate army would have been able to do, or, god forbid, a first-rate one![/quote]

Well I guess we’ll never know, since Russia really sucks at this.[/quote]

And that is Ukraine's good luck.  Actually, it's Ukraine's super good luck that it was Russia that attacked it.  If it was attacked by, say, some obscure Eastern European state like Moldova or Montenegro, all it would get would be some phd types on PBS digging up twelfth century battles and historical details of things no one cares about.  Also, this program would have the viewership of maybe twelve people, including family members of these phd types.   And if it was, like Niger attacking Chad, well not a single white person would care.  But since it is Russia, the country the West decided it will hate because it simply refuses to be led, Ukraine is getting pummeled, yes, but it's also getting tons of sympathy points, and once the war is over, it will get tons of aid.  So, there is the silver lining. Just like it was Palestinians' good luck to be oppressed by Israel, and not, say, Yemen. Because Arabs oppressed by other Arabs get bubkes by way of Western attention or sympathy.[/quote]

WTH.  People hate Russia because they've got nukes and they threaten to use them. 
And they bomb the daylight out of other countries (Syria, anyone?)  Nice white washing.[/quote]

If you're American, you have no grounds to blame other countries for bombing the daylight out of anything, since America does this with abandon.  [/quote]

Russia still beats us at that by a mile. One doesn't have to think of the US as without fault to realize that Russia is top of the class in that regard.[/quote]

LOL no it doesn't.

Count American and American-led military invasions in the last 20 years.  Now count Russia-led ones.  Compare two numbers.

Count the casualties in #1.  Now count the casualties in #2.  Compare two numbers.

Now, count the number of American military bases around the world.  Now, count the Russian ones.  Compare two numbers.[/quote]
Why don’t you provide the data? Can’t do math?[/quote]

Crimea, Donbass, Transnistria, Belarus, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Nagorno Karabash, Chad, Mali, Central African Republic, Syria.

This year alone theyve threatened to invade the UK, Finland, Poland, Latvia, Estonia, Lithuania, Romania, Bulgaria as well.

But why limit it to 20 years.  How many years out of the past 200 has Moscovy been peaceful towards their neighbors?[/quote]

A person who can't spell Artzakh should not be opining on geopolitics.

Or someone who has selective amnesia about Iraq, Lybia, the Balkans or the entire South American continent.

Tell me, do you pronounce Iraq as Eye-Rack?[/quote]

That's not how it's spelled in english buddy.  That's also not how Libya is spelled.

Name the last US or Western war of territorial expansion.[/quote]

You’re saying sh#%t-snd-flee missions like Iraq and Libya don’t count? Like, not all dead people count?[/quote]
