I could see rednecks letting them take California just so they can take hunting trips with their vacation time.

@Mar Mary Sure but the USSR collapsed and the R didn't stand for Russia. We could say that without Pangaea breaking apart there wouldn't be oranges in Florida. Russia bombing former SSR's for a example of changes. It wasn't exactly all peachy back then also. Most wanted them to destroy each other, with many suggesting that we should mop up whoever was left over while they was weak. Gen Patton wanted to take them completely out because he said they would be much harder to deal with than the Germans in the future (imagine that). As far as China goes.... which China are we talking about. During WW2 China was fighting China while China's was fighting Japan. 😆 The U.S. was allied with nationalist China who is now known by many as "Taiwan" (Republic of China). We didn't have a whole lot of relations with the commie China until the 70's (thanks politicians). The "Taiwan" China was who defeated the Japanese, problem was they was so weakened after doing such that then Communist China defeated them - took the mainland. Japan went big boom boom for touching boat.

IMO what is better than U.N. ..... currently NATO as it's not entirely a complete waste of money/space (though they do need to get their 💩 together.. together). Perhalps a global ban on anything man made that can fly and everyone required to build massive solid walls around their countries will work..... windows and doors can be debated. Personally I don't think they should have the ability to even see each other or it might create problems. Humanity is just to naturally tribal for anything to work for long. Who knows maybe tech will cure that once our robot overlords figure out how bad we are. 😆

@Jewish Samantha How did your attempt at slander even make sense to you in the moment of what was being said? Genuinely curious. 🤭 People that understand the strategic importance of Greenland literally are thinking about lives. Hundreds of Millions of lives in fact, over the inconvenience of some of the mere 56k that squat there having never owned the land... whom would be protected by it also. People are just logically wanting hundreds of million lives protected over that of some inconvenience. Unfortunately we don't live in a world of dumb bombs dropped from slow planes anymore. The best deterrence is never giving your enemy a in or they will be very tempted to (or most likely will) take it. Literally just yesterday Russia was speaking about "military -technical countermeasures" there. Undersea cables being damaged. NATO warning Russian submarine activity in the GIUK Gap has surpassed Cold War levels Russia has spent the last few years reopening and modernizing over 50 Soviet-era military outposts across the Arctic. They installed a network of Sopka-2 radar systems and S-400 missile batteries along its northern coast and islands to contest NATO. Two-thirds of Russia’s total naval power rests in their northern fleet including its most advanced Yasen-M class nuclear submarine designed to go undetected through the GIUK Gap. In the last few months Russia has deployed it's entire nuclear icebreaker fleet etc. etc. etc. They know this extreme vulnerability and that is exactly why they are there. We are thinking about lives.

@Mystic Raccoon Raccoon Because what's put out into the public's eye is not always meant for those whom don't matter (like you and I) in any given situation nor is that exactly a direct quote but it doesn't matter... actions do. As far as "Jolani" goes... Julani toppled Putins butt buddy Assad, how do you suspect that would be beneficial to Ukraine? Julani knows very well that their is U.S. planes literally above his head. I didn't say they was leftists, nor are my Ukrainian friends nor family members (though they don't use blue sky) that was there during the full scale invasion (and has been there on and off since). They just get fed liberal left democrat propaganda. You do know that nearly 70% of influencers on "blue sky" self identify as liberal/democrat right? Over 60% of shared links on the platform lead to left-leaning websites. The leftist/liberal/democrat bubble that controlled twitter did a mass exodus from X because blue sky was the leftist alternative funded by Dorsey. "I way prefer living in our messy capitalist regimes than in any Marxist hellhole!"... though obviously id see it differently, we can agree on that for certain. "his leaning on making Ukraine accept Putin's outrageous demands of giving up Ukrainian terrirory are beyond disgusting too."..... Well Ukraine will accept what they want to accept. This is one aspect we will disagree on but I will explain why. *Euromaidan happened, if Ukraine is so much better than Russia it will naturally regain it in the near future (possibly more). *With Putin, deals are made to be broken and he won't be around for ever also. *Ukraine can't win a forever war - war of nutrition against Russia (it is what it is). *Zelenskyy has said there is no chance of militarily taking back that land on their own (without others boots on the ground- WW3 - nukes). *Once Trump is done picking off his little allies - supply. Ukraine (if not at war) will exponentially excel far quicker than Russia... *which is needed.

@Mystic Raccoon Raccoon "cause no matter how many arguments you make, they don't convince me, sorry!".... I didn't know we was arguing. 😆 Just sharing facts, opinions, and experiences on a discussion board. I'm cool with leaving it at that, so much so that I won't even bother replying to all the things you said there. ✌️
