How about you move to some baltic state and wait until Putin invades you, taking away all thats valuable to you, because.........its necessary for him? Reality, and me, certainly wont give a shit about you, thats for sure.
Ha!
The “Machiavellist” would be the side that close off all possibly exist ramps for Russia in Jan and Feb, knowing Russia would have no other recourse but to invade.
Yeah, a real sly fox this Prince.
You havent read any of Machiavelli, have you? You are still sitting behind your desk on the west coast, just waiting for Putin to send his invasion force, since......its necessary to him, ya know, and then you would run over, in spirit of Benedict Arnold and offer him a blow job, while he is taking all liberties from you, since.....its necessary, ya know.
Pathetic.
