No, the story I cited is from yesterday. Your story is two years old.

Well done! As I said this is old news and quite the provocation.

Yeah, that’s a realistic solution. How about we just launch all our nuclear missiles and they launch all of theirs? I’ll see you on the other side.

I doubt that anyone in Sweden or Finland gives a snot about some jerkoff with a blog.

Go tell the nurse you need your Alzheimer’s meds. You’re due.

"This will not strengthen the security of either Finland or NATO itself," Grushko told RIA Novosti."

Translation: "This strengthens the security of Finland and NATO."

Okay, then please explain why Latvia and Estornia didn’t
force his hand?

They joined NATO before. Nukes coming from their nations
would be just as deadly?

There’s a crack many miles wide in your logic. It’s the
border of Latvia, Estonia, and the Russian border they
are on.

They both joined NATO in 2004.

Has Russia been attacked yet? Have nukes been put on
their soil?

I’m waiting.

key word being “may”

I know some of y’all have little left to live for but I’d rather my children’s futures not be risked like this.

That’s the official exchange rate like under the Soviet Union. What’s the black market rate in Moscow?

The only idiots are the western nations burning money in Ukraine while the Russian ruble is raising and backed by gold.

So the old "this is just making Russia stronger" argument. Then great! If everything we're doing is just making Russia stronger, then Russia has no reason to be upset at us, nor any reason to expand the war. After all, the war is great for Russia! In fact, Putin has no cause to complain unless we stop supporting Ukraine!

What was his warning? That he’ll move there and diddle their kids?

There’s nothing to negotiate here. Russia wants to conquer Ukraine and they’re indicating their next move is on Moldova. They’ve also issued what amounts to an ultimatum to NATO to withdraw from all of the former Soviet slave states and that’s a non-starter as well.

The correct answer to Russian threats is to meet them with force and resolve. Just like we did when those pricks used to be honest about being an Evil Empire.

What’s the black market rate in Moscow?

I would suspect it's more like 25 rubles to the ex-petro dollar.

You'll be able to purchase rolls of dollars in the near future to wipe your Obama after you take a Mitt.

In 1999 NATO initiated a bombing campaign against Serbia which was involved in an internal civil war at the time. It presented no threat to any NATO nation and NATO’s military attack was unprovoked. It was Billyboy’s last gasp futile attempt to be seen as a historic president.

Most Americans don’t even remember…but I guarantee Putin does, as part of Nato’s bad action was to humiliate Russia attempting to come to the aid its former ally.

Lines in the sand. Last straws. One last chance at peace. Many names for finally standing up to a bully. Throw a dart and pick one. If it wasn’t for Putin’s patience, NATO expansion (from 12 nations to 30 nations today) would have caused war long ago.

It’s quite noticeable, isn’t it?

The paleo-con/libertarian right has never failed to imitate the Dem's blame-America-first chants and to side with foreign despots against America.

They hate the US government so much they prefer to side with foreign enemies.

“The US government is just begging for a fight.”

Yet it’s Russia doing the fighting, invading, raping, looting, murdering, and conquering.

And I am sure that the Russians appreciate your loyal support.

--- "The USA needs to get the he[[ out of NATO immediately. If not sooner."

Completely agree.

Europe in toto is more than 700 million, and the EU portion of it is 450 million. Russia, whatever one may think, is about 165 million, and therefore demographically a pipsqueak, albeit with a massive nuclear arsenal. NATO's expansion over the last three decades after the fall of the Soviet Union has been eastward to the borders of Russia. And the EU is working to create its own supranational army as well.

700 million Europeans against 165 million Russians? It's time Europe not rely on the US. It is also time forn\ the US not to try to "lead" as Biden has been saying. Debt is rising to the detriment of the nation, as the Democrats prove themselves the cheerleaders for war. Again. NATO is no longer a peace project.
