Less than a century ago, Germany attempted to conquer Russia. Two centuries ago, France attempted to conquer Russia. A couple of decades before that, Sweden initiated a war on Russia. Before that, the Ottoman Empire attacked Russia. And so on... Again, depends on one's timeline. I posit that this buffer zone from the west is viewed in terms of centuries rather than years or decades. |

I’m pretty confident in our ability to defend ourselves against those threats.

I thought you said Putin wasn't going to do this? What gives? |

Don't need defense for those, we have deterrence. Putin may have miscalculated cost vs. benefit with UK, but he's not stupid or insane.

Hiring slows down sometime during the summer. Summer air travel is a dud. Q2 and Q3 post big losses. Planes start getting parked again in the fall. The rest is history. We went woke. Time to go broke. Sad.

10,000s dead. Millions displaced. Glad you've got your priorities straight.
I thought you said Putin wasn't going to do this? What gives? So far it's air strikes to in support of the breakaway regions fighting the Ukrainian army. America is my country, that's what I care about. If you feel so strongly, again, head over and sign up to fight with them. |
"Gov. Romney, I'm glad you recognize al-Qaida is a threat, because a few months ago when you were asked what is the biggest geopolitical group facing America, you said Russia, not al-Qaida, you said Russia. And the 1980s are now calling to ask for their foreign policy back. Because the Cold War has been over for 20 years.
