    Hilter invades the Sudetenland now part of Czechoslovakia and the world does nothing. German speaking so reason enough. Then Poland. First Crimean and the world does nothing. Now the Ukraine. Pretty slick

    Putin probably doesn't admire Lombardi, he doesn't admire Khrushchev and said so. I would would guess he's channeling Stalin.

    I was thinking the same thing, Donbas = Sudetenland.

    However Putin has learned from one Hitler mistake. I don’t think Hitler invested nearly as much resources and people into keeping the US out of the
    way through internal divisions and manipulation.

    I mean Hitler had his American fans early, but nothing like today’s
    pro-Putin fifth column.

    I'd be very careful, people.

    You take a very real look at the US situation, you know Biden's dead within the next 36 months.

    He will NOT be re-elected, and he will hang the moment the next GQP President takes the office.

    You want a war with that kind of a leader with nothing to lose... at all???

    And one who has to know the most powerful man in the world is in Moscow and that America is NOT the greatest nation on Earth?

    If a lot of the Right believes half the shit they post, they may have a very short window to remove Biden by any means necessary.

    Yeah, I could see a nuclear exchange -- and US firing first!

    The US had no national interests in the Sudetenland. Hell, we didn't
    go to war after the Soviet Union, France, Yugoslavia, Norway etc. were attacked. Now, if we got Putin to declare war on us, as Hitler did, we'd
    be likely to react.

    I mean Hitler had his American fans early, but nothing like today’s pro-Putin fifth column.

    I have yet to see such a creature, the last big pro-Russian American contingent
    disappeared right after the fall of the Berlin Wall.

    The current administration has repeatedly reminded us that borders do not matter. Should the US would go to war to defend Ukraine's borders
    while demanding we leave ours open

    However Putin has learned from one Hitler mistake. I don’t think Hitler
    invested nearly as much resources and people into keeping the US out of the >> way through internal divisions and manipulation.

    The US had no national interests in the Sudetenland. Hell, we didn't

    I have yet to see such a creature, the last big pro-Russian American contingent

    The current administration has repeatedly reminded us that borders do not matter. Should the US would go to war to defend Ukraine's borders

    Putin doesn’t care about Russian glory. His only vision for Russia is one with him in charge. He’d be ok with it being a smoking ruin as long as he’s in charge and rich. He’s the Bashir Assad of Russia.

    There's a definite "Wag The Dog" crowd on the American Right, let's put it that way.

    And it may be one of the few things which have merit on their side -- this President is going to get himself hanged by January or February of 2025 if he's not careful.

    I have yet to see such a creature, the last big pro-Russian American contingent
    disappeared right after the fall of the Berlin Wall.

    The current administration has repeatedly reminded us that borders do not

    That's funny. Just read where Trump was praising Putin's moves as "genius."

    It is kinda funny watching people like Tom try to pull this narrative off while Trump and his crowd are gushing over Putin.

    Saying someone is a genius isn't saying you agree with them.

    Indeed. It's ironic, as xyzzy has complimented Putin on his strategy.

    I read one of them, yesterday, saying they wish America's leaders would love their country like Putin loves Russia.

    It’s one thing to feel that way, it’s another thing to publicly admire Putin’s “savviness” at this particular moment. It reminds of the people that are like “yeah it sucks he blew up all those people, but the unabomber made some good points
    in his manifesto.”

    He's got far more than that. You just described the American Right, Trump on down.

    The fucker is a conniving son of a bitch who has thrived on his underestimation.

    He's at the "steps on his dick" point now, but without armies hurtling

    If they made a 1980s style Cold War movie, then the final shot would be Putin tied to a chair alone in a room. Then you see the Klitschko brothers enter the room and close the door behind them. Roll credits. Play jock rock music.
