    Russia has been at war with the west for at least 10 years now if not longer, we all need to wake up to this fact

      As opposed to the one where Putin is a smart guy and a great friend to anyone who isn’t just a freeloading meanie?

      France makes up 10% of the export market for military hardware. And its European / African neighbors are the biggest buyers. Can’t say I’m shocked to hear “Don’t buy American” and “Buy more guns” from the non-American bulk producer of guns.

      At the same time, Russia’s been fighting Finland for territory in the Baltic for centuries. And countries like Latvia, Estonia, and Poland definitely have reasons to feel nervous, given the decades of hostility building up since the collapse of the USSR. Crazy to think a country that has taken chunks out of neighbors on three separate occasions since 2008 won’t try again.

        Its not about supporting Frances weapons industry, its about NOT supporting the Nazis across the pond.

            And so long as we allow billionaires to affect our elections, they are gonna keep rising… It’s fucking frustrating.

    I’m at the point I’m thinking screw their nukes let’s just decimate them and put Putin on a rope.

    Yeah it’s stupid but to hell with it, it’s the only thing that can stop him.
