You’re really ‘something’.
Bush holds fault, but the same policy-writers are working under the Puppet. We were not winning in either war before the Puppet; the Puppet just doubled down on a bad situation...in BOTH: One with no security forces, the other with deadly ROE.
I never wrote that ‘Putin threatened China’; he’s not dumb. This is the ‘logic’ I alluded to prior: “Keep your enemies closer”.
We have been helping Russia’s enemies for decades. Tit-for-tat is a natural extension of cold war policies. Ukraine has been flirting with the west for years, much to their peril. Their involvement in Iraq was more about their own relations with Russia than being allied with the US.
I have no adoration for Russia. Your emotional hatred for Russia could be rational, but from my perspective of your demonstration here, not.
Russia has been helping our enemies for decades. Russia supports all of our enemies all over the world from Communist Cuba and North Korea to Islamofascist Iran.
You are either on the side of the USA and our allies, or you are on the side of Russia, China, North Korea, Iran, Sudan and Zimbabwe. Make your choice.
