I think keeping those things on the Ukrainian side of the lines is a good idea in any case. There are weapons they can launch from Ukraine that...
Well, Russia has solved that strategic problem magnificently. I mean, its invasion of its sovereign neighbor has had the intended effect of...
They probably would be in panic mode and be looking for a tactful way to replace Biden before the Convention … but then the Republicans nominated...
Putin warns West not to let Ukraine use its missiles to hit Russia (msn.com) So Russia "warns" us again. Didn't we "warn" them not to invade...

The answer to that is the public pledge we made, and have kept to this day, to never invade Cuba in (partial) exchange for the Soviets pulling out...
You should ask about it at the next meeting.
[IMG] Four more Russians (and an MBT) who no doubt “don’t count” toward Russia’s total casualty count of — what is it? — 600-700, most of whom...
To add to that, a “sphere of influence” is an anachronistic term of bygone eras. One can cite the Monroe Doctrine and say we wouldn’t like it if...
First off, I’m right there with you on football season. It’s going to make me unpopular to say it, but the optimism in the face of all evidence...
Austria is not relevant, and they have to stay neutral by treaty. This worries me not at all. Now if Germany, France, and/or the UK went in that...
No idea which troll you’re responding to, but well said.
