The US and nato should station troops in neighboring countries along their borders with ikraine and Russia. Mildly aggressive but not an in your face attack. Just to let putin know the world is ready if he keeps his bullshlt up.
There is about 70,000 US troops in Europe now. 42,000 in Germany and Poland alone. Add another 65,000 German troops and 62,000 in Poland.
All totaled there are 3.37 million active military in all NATO countries, compared to 1.37 million in Russia.
I think the only way Putin is going to be stopped is from inside Russia....The only problem with that is, who would be taking his place? That and what will Putin do to stop that from happening?
About a week ago our gas was $3.49 a gallon for regular unleaded at most stations. Yesterday, most of those same stations were over $4 a gallon. I found one yesterday evening that hadn't increased prices yet and was able to top off my tank for $3.86. I had filled it up on Saturday for $3.78 on my way out of town.
Well, I am out of excuses, been out of work this week so I signed up to be a precinct committee man. The Republican party is built from the bottom up and half of these precinct committee jobs are up for grabs. Precinctstrategy.com
Joe Biden finally says something that makes sense, Russia needs regime change, and the media goes hysterical.
Russia needs regime change? Duh!!! Its leader has ordered destruction and murder of Russian neighbors, just because he wants to. Who doesn't want regime change?
"Only the Russian People can call for regime change!" scream the idiots-at-large.
You want the rest of the world to wait for the Russian People to challenge the monster on his own ground? They've already seen what he's willing to do to the neighbors.
It's raining stupidity.

The same people relished in the fact other countries wanted Trump out of office. So their claim that only Russians can call for a regime change in their country is hollow.

Yeah, I figured Joe would be up for the next Captain Obvious award, but no.
I wonder if anyone's paused to remember that Russian People who call for regime change disappear? Along with their friends and families.

I don't mind politicians using notes or guidelines while they speak. After all, they have a lot they are expected to remember. I just don't like it when they are aren't upfront about it or try to act as though their comments are "off-the-cuff."

You know it would be a shame if a bunch of Ukrainian pilots snuck into Poland and stole all their Mig-29s.
Don't let the wife know what you spend on guns, ammo or cigars.
