    We would not need to invade Russia. You just wait for winter, then hit every power plant, government building, and military infrastructure with as many ATACMs and the like as you feel you need.
    Hell, let the B52s launch modern cruise missiles like they did in prior conflicts.
    FFS, let the F22 pilots out of the hanger and free to engage Russian wannabe 5th gens.

    The nation with the most rockets and other guided munitions and the best air defense.

    We don't need to militarize kindergartens

    Joe, do you suppose the Russian reaction of militarizing schools might be in response to 20 years worth of NATO encroachment on their borders?

    Do you suppose that the long history of Russian behavior like currently in Ukraine is why NATO even exists?

    The reasoning they had encroachment is because Russia has a history of land expansion. NATO was the road block for that. The reasoning for the militarization of their schools doesn’t alarm me as they have always been an aggressive country. What alarms me is that while they are teaching men how to survive in war, we are teaching our kids to hide and pee in litter boxes and that men can become women. The culture difference is going to be our down fall if we have to defend ourselves against this country.

    Name the history of Russian land expansion. They took Hungary, and then eventually left. They took Afghanistan and left after 9 years. We stayed there much longer.

    They took Ukraine, they took Poland, and many more in that area. You don’t know much about the USSR and how they became so big do you.

    Your imagination is larger than reality. If they took Ukraine as you claim, why in hell are the Ukrainians fighting them? If they took Poland, why is the US going to build Fort Trump there?

    You're way out of touch with reality Joe. Propaganda works especially well when the emotion of hatred is involved.

    It’s called history, you should read it. When the USSR collapsed a lot of the countries they controlled were set free. Poland was controlled by Russia for much of the 19th century and Ukraine was controlled by Russia for a very long time as well. They even starved many of the Ukrainians during their control. Seriously man, a simple google search will tell you I’m right but you can argue factual history, that’s fine it won’t hurt me any

    You don't know the difference between history and propaganda Joe. You buy into the statements of known liars in government, but that's nothing new to me.

    Something like reality and fiction for the Mafiosi.

    Both of those dimensions morphed into one....now you have a twisted reality.

    And a failed philosophy and ideology rolled into one.:)

    So you are saying that Ukraine was not previously conquered and occupied by Russia? You are saying that Poland was never conquered and occupied by Russia?

    Russia has always been a nation of conquerors until they were put in check by the United States and NATO.

    Let’s hope it’s not at us because our youth can’t handle a verbal insult or even being told they can’t steel with impunity little lone a war.

    Stealing with impunity is the new norm. Just gather up 20 or so of your close friends and get it on.
