A real man would've told the Russians, "we'll do it again another time. Maybe. Tell Vlad to eat my dick."
So help me, if I was POTUS all of NATO would be united right now and lined up on the Ukraine/Russian border, weapons locked/loaded and every nuke we had pointed right at Moscow.
Appeasement makes the aggressors more aggressive. This was the lesson of the Cold War. That, and the Russians only respect force/strength. That's it.
How America handles this will define geopolitics for the next 50 years. Given the GOP favors Russia over Nato now, I'm not super optimistic.
Are you not teaching your kids about the 70s, 80s, 90s, 00s? Would we be better off w a big wall right down the middle of Berlin and the USSR back in biz?
I read Vance's utter disdain for Europe in the genius Signal chat debacle...is that how most of you feel? That we've bent over backwards for Europe while it has done zilch for us?
