Team Red doesn't care about history. They don't even care about Ukraine. They will grasp to any straw that makes Team Blue look bad. Just look how quickly they abandoned isolationism and non-interventionism...
The sanctions are not bullets.
They take time and are slow death.
But impatient children want to shoot or run immediately when there are hundreds of other solutions.
None of which will be good for Russia. Putin is getting old. He wants to die saying he gave it a go I guess.

Most people that been looking at this conflict since ~2014 know all this. Trump s still severely butthurt that this old man kicked the living out of their president to the curb. Nothing else.
So you would have suggested what? What president would you have had in office pick anyone and tell us what he/she would have done.
BatManu with a more sophisticated koriwhat approach...
fk everything...
And totally disagree with China.
They got skins in the game.
Their economy is much more stable and Im pretty sure they never wanted this.
They want the slow game approach, it works without drastic risk.
Also, America only standing for their interests isn't new either. Don't forget this country sit out WWII until Pearl Harbor. We went to the Middle East strictly for the oil.
When we went to these remote countries to "project power", like Vietnam, boomers got bent over and their asses kicked. Pretty embarrassing, tbh
Explains why they're so ing bitter. They must've been great disappointments to their fathers who could actually win a war.![]()
We were all in on Europe in WWII. We had already converted a huge number of factories into arms production and were supplying GB and allies in Europe. But it was absolutely in our self interest to see Europe survive. We have made some military forays that really did not benefit us in any way other than to say "hey, we are the good guys..." but we had actually let the whole mess get out of control in the first place.
Our strength is supposed to be self criticism and attempt to correct it. But since the election of Trump I dont see this as admirable. The total dishonesty is off the charts imo. The need for revenge like some bratty child is concerning.
why I even type this... Im out.
I was here every day, TD.
And they never sold my . They sold your . You're light 1, forever.
We were making a buck, per the usual bads...
American public opinion was hostile to the Axis, but how much aid to give the Allies was controversial. The United States returned to its typical isolationist foreign policy after the First World War and President Woodrow Wilson's failure to have the Treaty of Versailles ratified. Although President Franklin D. Roosevelt personally favored a more assertive foreign policy, his administration remained committed to isolationism during the 1930s to ensure congressional support for the New Deal, and allowed Congress to pass the Neutrality Acts. As a result, the United States played no role in the Second Italo-Ethiopian War and the Spanish Civil War. After the German invasion of Poland and the beginning of the war in September 1939, Congress allowed foreign countries to purchase war materiel from the United States on a "cash-and-carry" basis, but assistance to the United Kingdom was still limited by British hard currency shortages and the Johnson Act, and President Roosevelt's military advisers believed that the Allied Powers would be defeated and that US military assets should be focused on defending the Western Hemisphere.
By 1940 the US, while still neutral, was becoming the "Arsenal of Democracy" for the Allies, supplying money and war materials. Prime Minister Winston Churchill and President Roosevelt agreed to exchange 50 US destroyers for 99-year-leases to British military bases in Newfoundland and the Caribbean. The sudden defeat of France in spring 1940 caused the nation to begin to expand its armed forces, including the first peacetime draft. In preparation for expected German aggression against the Soviet Union, negotiations for better diplomatic relations began between Undersecretary of State Sumner Welles and Soviet Ambassador to the United States Konstantin Umansky. After the German invasion of the Soviet Union in June 1941, America began sending Lend Lease aid to the Soviet Union as well as Britain and China. Although President Franklin D. Roosevelt's advisers warned that the Soviet Union would collapse from the Nazi advance within weeks, he barred Congress from blocking aid to the Soviet Union on the advice of Harry Hopkins. In August 1941, President Roosevelt and Prime Minister Churchill met aboard the USS Augusta at Naval Station Argentia in Placentia Bay, Newfoundland, and produced the Atlantic Charter outlining mutual aims for a postwar liberalized international system.
My father is nothing close to these boomers so it’s more like my grandad I guess. The bitter one.
Selfish and angry unable to cope with anything new.

Well, maybe if you guys could get that far.![]()
"Now a few important, very important words for those who may be tempted to intervene in ongoing events from the outside," Putin said. "Whoever tries to interfere with us, and even more so to create threats to our country, to our people, should know that Russia's response will be immediate and will lead you to such consequences as you have never experienced in your history. We are ready for any development of events. All necessary decisions in this regard have been made. I hope that I will be heard."
