Fact: The Hudson Institute is riddled with neocons.

Yeah a scam benefitting the defense industries. Haven’t you realized this yet? Let’s just keep killing people in order to assert our will. You cool with that?

Did you say the same thing when President Reagan was investing in our defense while simultaneously bankrupting Soviet Russia?

Putin invaded Ukraine. If he had stayed home in the first place, this all wouldn’t be happening.

It is the Democrats and their surrogates, the illegals that are going to do you in.

NATO came knocking on his door and his response was expected.

Why didn’t Putin try to invade Finland and Sweden too if it was all about NATO?

Under Reagan Republicans for the first time said deficits don’t matter. Don’t raise him to be some kind of perfect politician.

Sweden and Finland are small potatoes in the grand scheme of things. Putin has more important things to worry about.

I’ve never voted in my life. That’s how little I think about the politics in this country.

It was impossible to read it with a simple mind, so we're glad that you covered that aspect for the rest of us, marcus...

Yes, one’s mind can be so “open” that all the good sense spills out. Trannies, antifa trash and BLM-ers call themselves “open-minded” too. 🤡

The whole thing has kind of a pinhead vibe. 🤔

Simon Shuster is a Russian and has a pro-Putin bias since 2014.

Then why did Russia permanently ban him from the country in 2013? 🤔

“”””Sweden and Finland are small potatoes in the grand scheme of things. Putin has more important things to worry about.””””

Reading your posts it is obvious you are just winging comeback remarks without thinking or knowing what you are posting about.

Finland and its 830 miles of Russian border is a very big thing to Putin and is one of the reasons he is increasing the size of his military by 50%.
“Russia’s military chief cited NATO’s plans to incorporate Finland and Sweden as a factor in the buildup.”
“Shoigu outlined plans to form new military units and groups of forces in western Russia, including an army corps to be deployed to the northwestern region of Karelia near Finland.”

An Army Corps and all that entails and costs indicate another big tar pit that Putin’s invasion has created for Russia.

Simon Shuster is pimping a new book. And look at his previous tweets trashing President Trump as well as rejoicing about spending Russian Rubles while visiting occupied Crimea.

Rationality has nothing to do with made-up exaggerations and propaganda. Try learning how to provide sources before sharing nonsense, which is more than these "experts" could pretend to offer.

Meanwhile, your toadie Zelensky is canceling elections, making us all laugh all the harder at the neo-Nazi apologists trying to blather about "saving democracy" against the "orc" hordes with a straight face.

English-speaking Mercs gunned down by retreating Ukrainian cannon fodder - enjoy!

I read it. A stinking pile of garbage. Nothing “maximalist” about Ukrainians not wanting their children to die, again, in KGB/FSB torture chambers or resisting their cities being genocidally erased by the Russian Army. Shame on any so-called “conservative” who belittles and demeans Ukrainians struggle for the entire existence of their nation.
