Russia Just Invaded Ukraine

Consider that 4 of the 5 deadliest battles in history occurred from 1941 to 1945 between Germany and Russia, losses of life that make the Middle East look like kindergarten. Just two of those battles caused more death than every war in the Middle East in the past 100 years combined... but the great powers of Europe have been at peace for 70 years. Coincidence? Or does the bickering and stalling work?

This is really poor trolling on your part.

I think he actually believes that.

I think MAD helped to ensure peace... Just a little bit. We have had several proxy wars instead.

You attribute that to the UN and not the trillions of dollars the US has spent in military funding to ensure everyone plays nice?

Get off my planet!

Typical liberal mush headed thinking. You can't spend your way out of a recession, how could you spend your way out of a war? QED, Terry. QED.

Call it whatever you like, is it incorrect?

Pretty sure this is the actual reason. MAD tends to make everyone pay a little more attention.

The UN has done good work for refugees. The rest? Ehhh.

"The fact that we are here today with a very weak Russia - having had the entirety of the Ukraine turn away from Russia and towards the EU and having to have engaged in a panicky reaction of invasion - is a result, in part, of the United States strength on this issue. Standing with the protesters throughout that difficult period of time at the end of last year and the beginning of this year." - Democrat Senator Chris Murphy (Conn)

So Putin is so afraid that Obama had secured Ukraine’s EU-centric future, that he freaked out, overcame his fears, ignored all that supposed 'strength', and invaded? Uh...what?

Ya that's about the sum of it. The Ukraine wouldn't have had the kind of civil unrest that topples a Russian leaning government if they all wanted to get closer to Russia.

Damn. How did I never hear of that game? Also, why was a guy running towards the fight with an American Flag like it was the revolution? haha
