Do you not get what is at stake here ?


Gee.

I thought that Russia was a changed country from all of their former bombastic communistic bravado and just wants to get along with everyone.

BTW, Kennedy is dead as is his nemesis, K. Kennedy didn’t “defuse” anything. He called Russia’s hand. That’s how that went down.

Georgia, the Crimea and now Ukraine. Finland and soon to be Sweden into NATO. Europe and the Pacific Rim nations increasing their military budgets.

Russia aligning with Iran, China and North Korea.
