This Won't end Well for Germany

[Mike Ault]

Go Putin take it while you can : )

Since you are trolling I'll bite. What would you have thought about that notion pre-Donald Trump? Would you consider yourself living proof of how DJT deliberately weakened Western resolve to resist Russian expansionism?

I absolutely see a security risk with European dependence on Russian gas and we are seeing it play out in real time right now. That pipeline was a terrible decision however much of Europe depends on Russian gas regardless. America sent pretty strong signals that we were done pretending to defend the Europeans and I don't blame them for seeking accommodations to be able to heat their homes in the winter. At one point I think Germany had 300 tanks to match up against thousands of Russian tanks and although that German Adm. should've kept his mouth shut he's right about their predicament. It would be an entirely different situation if Germany and France were putting troops on standby in solidarity.

1. I don't think it makes sense to dictate to Europe where they should get their fuels from, although we should try to sell to them. 2. NATO conventional forces were always vastly outnumbered by the Soviets' during the Cold War. It was only the nuclear threat that prevented them from invading.

Does it worry anybody here that Putin is doing this for domestic political purposes? And as his certain victory is celebrated and has popularity goes up does anybody here think he will be content with Ukraine? He wants the Soviet empire back. A unified response from the West now could stop this soon to be genocide from happening.

Mike, that might be the silliest thing I've heard yet.

Do you remember the last time Alsie35's neighbors went to war? Maybe something about the Serbs, Slobodan Milošević & ethnic cleansing might ring a bell…

So you think Putin wants to ethnically cleanse Ukraine? Silly.

How about my former Gov. Rick Perry?

Trump blamed Rick Perry for the whole Ukraine scandal, but that's the opposite of the truth

Within a day of the whistleblower complaint being made public, Donald Trump had identified what seemed like a very unlikely candidate for First Person to Go Under the Bus: Secretary of Energy Rick Perry. Despite saying that his phone call to Ukrainian...

I find RT news to be more reliable than CNN and its illegetimate spawn.

It HAS to be. It is directed to an international audience in many countries. The citizens of which are generally more knowledgeable about history and geopolitics than is the average American.

This side he supports does, that is an undecided Civil War over there and he is placing his thumb on the scale for the Russian-speaking side. It doesn't take a big leap in the imagination to picture death squads erasing non-Russian-speaking political enemies over there once he disarms them. And there are lots of them. Similar to what happened next door in the former Yugoslavia when the country broke apart along ethnic lines.

I like to listen to RT programming as well however I am always cognizant of the fact that I'm listening to state controlled Russian propaganda while doing so.

RT Is Literally Russian Propaganda — Why Does Anybody Take it Seriously?

Russia has given the world many wonderful things, like Tchaikovsky and high-quality vodka. News, however, should not be one of their exports.
