Where are we headed???

Well said!!

You're here trying to tell us how great you are by voting republican, yet by voting straight republican with no rhyme or reason you are actually part of the issue. I would be willing to bet that by voting in such an ignorant manner ever since you were 18 has resulted in you voting for more than one person that should have never been in office.

Should I contact you first?

My thought is if Putin stays in Ukraine we will sit on the sidelines. If China make a military move against Taiwan then we will commit peacekeeper troops. I personally am more worried about China. Putin doesn’t have the resources for a prolong war.

Agree but we have no idea the deal that has been made between china and Russia
I could very easily see a situation where china takes Taiwan (to at will happen) and depending on where Russia is with Ukraine and how we respond to china Putin could grab for a little more

Why wouldn’t he??

I will disagree on the idea that Putin doesn’t have resources for a prolonged war, he actually has the leverage. He controls the gas station for Europe!

Let’s no forget that pesky Iran. Very quiet lately. If Iran decided to act up then what?

I’m not gonna sit here and play arm chair diplomat and guess what’s going to happen long term. What I’m seeing right now is 3 things. First the US has a weak leader and has stopped exporting and drilling for petroleum. Second russia is supplying all of Europe due to their dumb socialist, progressive, save the planet policies with oil and gas. Third Russia realizes the first two points have happened all at once and knows Europe isn’t going to do anything because he could just turn off their gas. Putin knows this is the perfect time to do what he’s had his eye on without any repercussions.

I'm certainly no foreign policy expert, but don't forget about the fact that Brandon's domestic policies absolutely emboldened Putin to get us where we are today. Took one year with potatobrains running the show. Putin loves the covid mandate drama, 40yr high inflation, the fact that millions of American's won't work because they are used to living off the government tit, antifa/blm/racist/white supremacy unrest, and on and on. Good ole' Brandon flipped the petro switch his first day in office, taking us from energy independence to energy dependent. Putin knows what our oil prices will do by invading Ukraine, and that the American people will scream even louder given what inflation is doing to our economy now and for the foreseeable future. Brandon botched the Afghanistan withdraw and embarrassed the US on the global stage. None of this even takes into account that he is cognitively impaired and unfit to hold office. Just my uneducated take on the issue.

Bad thing about it is that a lot of people will have forgotten these things come election day.

Iran is too busy discussing how
Much per barrel of oil they are going to charge the US so we can keep build back better going

Was it another hypersonic missile? It's disconcerting that NK even has hypersonic missiles, even if they are NK spec.

I see very few stories on it, and they are very light on details.
