I'm not remotely an enemy of Russia or Putin
I think he's been amazingly restrained. We're the baddies. He's been amazingly patient and exceedingly clear where his line in the sand is. And we're in a glass house with our incessant war crimes since at least 2001. Putin's an amateur. A little polonium sushi versus two AGM-114 Hellfire on every Predator drone. And how America has killed more civilians with our economic sanctions than ever with guns and bombs and missiles. Putin is smart: Russia's a biosphere and it's self sufficient now because we've been playing these games against Russia for long enough for Putin to adapt. Right now, America is impotent. Putin has all of Western, Central, and Eastern Europe by the balls over natural gas. It's a perfect storm and if we're not careful, Putin will humiliate us publicly and it'll be impossible to recover our face. I like when that happens. A shamed America is a less violent America. Vietnam did a number on us and we were too shell shocked to war monger for a good twenty years, twenty five years. With the humiliation of the Afghanistan retreat added to the public spanking we'll probably soon get, coordinated, from China and Russia, it'll be really interesting to see what the future holds with regards to American hegemony.
