Biden sending Abrams tanks to Ukraine

[Quark]

I agree....and dealing with Russia or China is one of those that isnt "simple".


How would you feel if Russia or China put weapons / tanks in Mexico close to our southern border and aligned with the DeFacto govt....the cartel? How would The US respond? How would China or Russia react to such a response?

I have always thought its best we respect each other's backyard.

If Russia and/or China did that we would do nothing.

With Cartel activity and a wide-open border....... never say never on attacking Mexico.


Biden is enriching the Cartel to levels never seen before.......which makes them more and more powerful.

China owns the cartels and the US.

You having a bad day?

Never mind .... I can relate.

I did go to the dentist for a cleaning but no problems. I'm just tired of all the stupidity and that how we are such a superpower. The dollar is over. We are being invaded in the south. Our military is about the size it was in the late 1800s and nobody is joining which I don't blame them for. The purchasing power of the dollar is damn near the bottom. I could go on but you get the point.

You know I get the point. Just remember that for every one person who's vocally/actively of the same mindset - there are ten others.

I'm not playing the 'odds' game, but somehow I'm not worried.

As follow-up: I have every reason in the book to be worried about the fate of our nation (and the rest of the world) I just choose to be more optimistic. (aside from my bad attitude moments)

Human action is at work. Collectively it looks like human action is collectively committing suicide.

I do, and he did (I'm assuming when you said invaded Russia you meant Ukraine).



Where I was mistaken was that he kept changing his rationale for invading Ukraine. As you pointed out, Putin changes his story depending on his audience. You don't send T-62s into conflict if you have spare T-80s/90s lying around. And you don't send the head of the 5th service into Lefortovo Prison if things are going well on the intelligence front.

So, yeah. I'm sticking by my prediction that a sizable portion of Russia's nuclear capability as been sold off to other parties over the years. Pretty much everything else has been sold off so why not?

Yet you were demonstrably wrong on Putins stated explanation for invading Ukraine. You didn't check Putins speeches and claimed to know what he said. So why should anyone think you are correct on other issues?

If MSM said that Putin said "XYZ", then alot of easy-believers here actually posted that Putin said "XYZ".

You are 100% right. People with intellectual curiosity will go to the speeches - the videos and transcripts - or the documents that Putin wrote to find out what he really said.

Nice way of calling him an ass? lol?

I try to give new guys a break. My story. lol

ETA: I don't doubt Putin changed his story depending on his audience. And anyway - good luck here @EGarak
