Silly huh, I could have just said yes, instead I made it interesting but your answering a hypothetical question with a question... as if Russia publicly giving Mexico/TX or name the hypothetical country/state/terror group would not be considered an act of war... anyway have a good day!
No, I set up COB's, FOB's and contingency construction projects for DOD, NAVFAC EURAFCENT and USACE from Iraq to Kuwait to Bahrain to Abu Dabhi to Saudi during Desert Storm. And in Afgahnistan I was a Site Manager, Operations Manager and QC Manager transitioning and auditing COB's/FOB's in...
Call it what you want, he is not going to win as folks on here and the "experts" said, it's futile!
He has not had 500,000 casualties, he has reportedly lost 300,000 soldiers to death, injury, AWOL, sickness... as reported by the Russian enemy.
You think Russia is weaker now than they were...
OK, the same can be said for Zelensky and his allies...
Putin is just gaining allies and strength, this war went nothing like the "experts" said... so you can change allies like underwear but don't negotiate with them if it doesn't fit your narrative... Amazing how some leaders are branded as...
Read your post, that is my point... Alliances change all the time but it is all of a sudden inconceivable that we would even sit at the table with Russia to stop the killing despite the public talks by Putin and we were allies with Russia and China when Ukraine was helping our enemy...
It's weird that Ukraine provided aid to Saddam Hussain and now we provide record aid to Ukraine.
So you are saying this is going to be a 20 year war and 3 million Ukrainians will die, so this is just a waste of money and life!
We make Russia invading Ukraine that simple, so let's make it that simple for the question.
War is never simple, invading a country is never simple... why did we invade Iraq and over throw Saddam? Why did we invade Afg?
So lets say Russia started supplying Mexico with missiles, or better...
So if Russia publicly trained and provided, you pick the country, to rain missiles down on the US would you think that an act of war by Russia?
Do you really think Afghanistan and Ukraine compare...
It's easy, just get them to leave the country and give up all that US tax payer funding...
Wow if we were to read the beginning of this thread I kept saying...
But I was told if we keep sending money the war would be over soon and Ukraine would win...
So Putin is an enemy to America as well and a threat to try and take us over, is that what we're saying? So the party of inclusion creates 2 enemies, Trump and Putin just like that 🤔 when one was a quasi-ally and the other a quasi-president....crazy movie!
I want the 80's to call with that...
Would love that quote, I have read many things and studied it some. It is my understanding his comments on the Soviet Union had to do with Soviet Ukraine, the Ukrainian Civil War and corruption around the riches left by the Soviet Union in Ukraine and how Nationalism led to much of this...
Roger that, he resigned as a Lt Col and KGB agent from the Army the year the Soviet Union was dissolved so I get the paranoia and understand a man at 71 may want to bring his country back to what it once was but nothing in his political service or leadership has really given me that impression...
