So NATO should have come over and kicked our ass during the Revolutionary War?
If NATO were conquering countries, Putin would have a reasonable point.In all honesty I don't have all the answers. I don't know all the information. I really don't. I do however acknowledge that there is a crazy amount of propaganda, lies and deliberately misleading stories coming from both sides.
I do not want Russia attacking a sovereign peaceful country that was not threatening it directly.
I also do sympathize somewhat with Russian concerns about NATO continually expanding closer and closer. If the situation was reversed and NATO broke up and the Soviet bloc was expanding to Mexico, panama, cuba, Iceland and Venezuela we would be like WTF the cold war is over what are you doing. That is real. NATO in my honest opinion is sticking it's nose where it shouldn't trying for a provocation to justify it's existence and the defense industry.
If we were clear and said unequivocally "Ukraine will not be admitted into NATO, period". I really think Russia would not have attacked them.
So yes, I think countries should stand up to dictators attacking other countries. But Putin is not Hitler. Not literally nor figuratively. An asshole? Sure no argument here.
Like it or not Russia has the most nukes in the world. They aren't going anywhere. We have to find a way to coexist with them because conflict will likely escalate very quickly and the literal survival of our country and the world would hang in the balance.
I'm pretty sure all the governments involved here suck and are full of psychopaths looking for war or corrupt thugs. It's all the citizens who will suffer as a result of their actions.
Our 30T in debt will suddenly be worth what 30Billion is today.Hyperinflation.
Our 30T debt will instantly matter.
Can't see a tie in Putin's logic to that.So NATO should have come over and kicked our ass during the Revolutionary War?
I bet there's more than a few Californians who would welcome communist rule.Russian lawmaker demands return of Alaska, California fort and reparations amid US-led sanctions
A Russian lawmaker made an outlandish demand over the weekend that the United States return Alaska and a historic settlement in California, in addition to paying reparations to Russia over crippling American-led sanctions that have put Moscow's economy in a tailspin.www.foxnews.com

I’m not surprised by your take. You just deny it happened.It has to do with caption and who had the motive to shoot at that car.
We are about to find out sanctions have consequences. For us.Seriously I think there is more to it.
Russia is turning towards china and the yuan
And now this.
Saudi Arabia reportedly considering accepting yuan instead of dollar for oil sales
Saudi and Chinese officials are in talks to price some of the Gulf nation's oil sales in yuan rather than dollars or euros, The Wall Street Journal reported Tuesday, citing people familiar with the matter.The two nations have intermittently discussed the matter for six years, but talks have...www.yahoo.com
I fear the US has set in motion their own undoing. By financially declaring war on Russia they are driving the rest of the world to unite under an alternate system.
This could be a seismic shift in geopolitics.

Here is a video I liked of a Russian tank driving over a mine:
This is being done on purpose. Don't forget Joe works for China. Joe leaked to China that Ukraine was joining NATO, China leaked it to Russia. Now Joe has made every wrong decision possible to our energy needs. Like Joe wants our dollar to fail and for Yuan to become the world's reserve currency.
Which then the US dollar fails completely as the rest of the world calls in the debt we owe. So from there they institute this new digital currency from which they can control us like Canada. Once established that digital currencies do work the rest of the world follows.
From here they move to a NWO or world government. We are all turned into slaves and the world is depopulates to fit their needs.
Being a slave is death. If anyone tries to enslave me, they'll at least be in for a fight until I starve / run out of ammo / whatever. I see no reason to not fight till you perish if slavery is the only alternative.
Yeah how he made it out and wasn’t stunned I don’t have a clue.I didn't realize it till reading the reddit comments. Guy is on fire in the smoke running from the wreck. You can see his footsteps. Not sure how anyone survives that shit.
So do you like these facts??I’m not surprised by your take. You just deny it happened.

Yep.A lot of people are going to lose a lot more than that before this is over.
Seriously I think there is more to it.

My Dad still has his old volvo.
Your money will be worth nothing and all the chicks will flee.Damn, the oil/US dollar thing and the China Yen.... I mentioned that a bit ago here. I mentioned it on Twitter and people laughed at me.
If this does in fact occur, the entire US economy will be plunged into Dire Straights, and not the band of the 80's
