Russia and Ukraine

[The Architect Of Fate]

Western restraint is explained by them thinking direct attacks on Russia are not the smart move at the moment, or necessary. And Biden is no idiot either. But there are definitely a fair share of neo-cons in positions of power that would love an even more intense proxy showdown with Russia if they got their way.

Yeah, no.  The neocons liked russia.  George the Dumber looked into Putins eyes and saw that he was a good christian man with a soul, member....?  At any rate, western reticence for attacking russian assets in russia does not have ukrainian interests in mind.  Never did, and that's not exactly a closely guarded secret either...?

If dumb ass Trump gets back into power and does some dumb operation in Mexico against the cartel which leads to Mexican civilians dying, should the Mexican government then start sending drones into the US to bomb them? Maybe not the best play?

If the us invaded mexico in order to annex it's territory, flattening towns and stealing children as it bumbled it's way through the countryside..yeah...that would be a pretty cut and dry reason for them to strike at any us assets in the us that they could.  That, historically, has been how you stop a committed invader.  By removing their ability and their will to invade in their own homeland.  Russia is getting the kid glove treatment here, and still you numpties want us to cry into our cups for them, set upon by ukranian monsters as they are?  If they're having such a hard time with one of ukraines arms tied behind it's back..then do you really think that they can force ukraine to any negotiating table?  Or is this a fantasy that would satisfy your interests, and russias interests, by directly shitcanning ukranian interests..in ukraine?

It's like he doesn't understand the concept of war. You want to win and one way you win is preventing the enemy from moving men and materials into your country.
