We are knee deep in the big muddy---
For most of my life our country has been at war with first the USSR and now Russia
For the most part, a "cold war" due to brilliant diplomacy on the part of ourselves and allies. The republicans took credit for the beginning of the end of this era when Reagan declared "tear down that wall". It was the successful "cold war" against the Soviet oligarchy that was actually responsible for the ensuing downfall of the USSR and continued isolation of Russia.
Putin has succeeded in undoing what decades of diplomacy have achieved and has unraveled our resolve to condemn his authoritarian status as anywhere near a world "leader".
The threats he issued yesterday were the most boastful of the last half a century coming from a likely unhinged mind. Had this announcement to conquer the world come at any time up to the present immediate action would have been taken.
Trump is so clearly Putins' puppet. Our Joint Chiefs and other protective agencies are apparently missing in action.
We are in very deep shit.
