This doesn't sound like the second coming of the USSR to me. This sounds like the last desperate act before Russia's demography completely implodes. There won't be a Red Army left to project meaningful force after it's finished the costly job of taking and occupying Ukraine.




This response costs the US almost nothing. It may even be profitable. It costs the Russians a great deal. And even if things go Russia's way in the end ... they get something the US doesn't care about and a country that WAS NOT a NATO member in the first place.

Putin will install a puppet and we will have armed them

Same as ever

This is an important point. NATO is half-assing this thing. So Ukraine will either lose a war or have a puppet installed. Let’s not send any advance weaponry unless we are in it to win it.

We need to worry about China. We need to worry about how they have infiltrated every part of our Nation. That has to be our focus.

Yup. China is watching. If Putin is successful, China will use Putin's blue print to take back Taiwan.

And I personally don't give a shytt if they do. I care more about the homeless camps in the park across the street than I do about countries across the globe. Fix ourselves.
