Seran has to just be trolling now. No one can be this clueless.

The fact that you think I'm referencing politicians is not surprising.

Yeah...kind of turns out that the US alone can't really stop a nuclear power from invading another country.

And Europe was VERY divided over responding to the annexation of Crimea. Unilateral action wasn't going to cut it.

A lot of people are giving Biden tons of grief for not "Being tougher on Russia", and it's 100% true that he could have been. But what most people don't realize is that the US has actually been focusing its diplomatic attention on rallying the nation states of the EU to put up a united front despite their reservations. Because that's actually the only way to create real consequences for Putin and to pressure him to back off.

War isn't all about sending ground troops and insulting people on Twitter.

Weird. You seemed to think Trump was gonna start WW3 by sending mean tweets. I guess your politics and what you find scary just depends on who is in the White House.

Yeah.... I've seen a lot of pics showing other wise, and there are statements showing over 1.3 billion have been withdrawn in under a day. That is a rush.

You have a lot of nerve.

Solkern is the self described Russian Expert.

I think he would know better than pictures or media.

Actually, it turns out that Europe can't defend itself or it's expansion territories as can be seen by simply picking up a history book.

The past century has been nothing but the American taxpayer cleaning up after centuries of European fuckery.
