Our real enemy is our $1.8 trillion budget deficit. We can no longer afford Ukraine and Israel.

And Putin knows that. His large scale strategy is to see the US run up it's deficit and debt on our vastly overpriced weapons fighting a non- winable proxy war.

But Putin would gladly stand down from that if Russia could get ordinary, basic respect from the US and Europe.

I agree, but you have to give Putin and Trump credit; they're high-line pros when it comes to making libs and Europe delusional and insane.

It'd be like me thinking I have a chance to bang Melania.

Basic respect is all we want. ;)

Every time you post bullshit about Russia, I lose respect for you, B.

The Cold War ended in late 1991. I was there. It's over.

I love you, B. Let the Cold War BS go, if Ronald Reagan was a big enough man to do it, I'm sure you are too.

Lyrics:
I could tell he'd had a tough life By the way he sat and stared And me, I'd come to push and shove So I pulled up a chair

We talked of roads untraveled We talked of love untrue Of strings that come unraveled We were kings and kindred fools And just when I'd hit bottom That old man raised his glass Said at least we had our chances There's those who never have

So here's to all the soldiers Who have ever died in vain The insane locked up in themselves And homeless down on Main To those who stand on empty shores And spit against the wind And those who wait forever For ships that don't come in

He said it's only life's illusions That bring us to this bar To pick up these old crutches And compare each other’s scars 'Cause the things we're calling heartaches Hell, they're hardly worth our time We bitch about a dollar When there's those without a dime

As he ordered one last round He said I guess we can't complain ‘Cause God made life a gamble And we're still in the game

So here's to all the soldiers Who have ever died in vain The insane locked up in themselves The homeless down on Main To those who stand on empty shores And spit against the wind And those who wait forever For ships that don't come in And those who wait forever For ships that don't come in

I don't mean to be churlish, but you'ter all wrong about Russia. I think TommyTheMadArtist might have fled to Russia, he was fluent in the slavic languages.

We're the bad guys.

The video is n French, but just watch for a few minutes, you'll see what I mean.

It's apparently a French news video of the Azov Batallion in Donbass.

Anyone who supported this (Obama/Biden/Nuland/Zelensky/etc.) should be brought before a Nuremburg style tribunal and prosecuted for war crimes.

Ronald Reagan

When we lived in Chicago in early 80s, we heard Reagan would visit Gordon Tech High School which was not far from where I lived

We drove over there but police would not allow anyone on California Ave. But we found a house with a wide yard and we could see him when he got out of the limo. ;)

$1.8 trillion dollar budget deficit

Are you aware of what the Constitional Convention w as about in 1789?

It was a reorganization under international bankruptcy law. The British were counterfeiting colonial script which made it worthless.

The original plan was to rewrite the Articles of Confederation but that plan was scrapped in favor of a new Constitutio

When the new documents were presented, several of the new prospective states refused to sign without a Bill of Rights.

This led to the first 1p Amendments. The first spells out your rights and the Second how to protect them, within armed populace.

Indeed, during WW II, the Japs were talking about invading mainland America. Yamamoto had attended Uni easily here. He told them, "It would be a bad idea. There would be a man with a rifle BEHIND EVERY BLADE OF GRASS." ;)
