If you’re a history buff I couldn’t recommend Dan Jones’ books more highly. The detail is incredible. Marquez’ book is considered a fabulous classic but I think something must be lost in translation or something I really didn’t like it. Quantum Physics is my latest rabbit hole obviously.

Likely true but there’s no source given.

The military/industrial complex loves war profits. Wrapping yourself in the flag allows them to get away with it.

Our POTU

Obama was prez when Russia invaded Crimea. Biden has reacted very differently with the Russian invasion of eastern Ukraine.

When the USSR broke up in 89/90 NATO should have dissolved. Had it done so we wouldn’t have this conflict happening today.

Why didn’t NATO dissolve? Ask Eisenhower about the military/industrial complex that runs our country.

Apologize beforehand this has likely been brought up already…

What’s interesting to me is when Russia invaded Crimea (former Ukraine territory) the Obama administration did nothing. Russia pushes further when Biden is elected and all of a sudden Congress is sending Ukraine billions and Europe is screaming.

What’s the difference? Crimea was much more important.
