1. Pay it now so you don't have to pay it later.....

Putin wants the destruction of the West and to become the world's dictator.

I can't understand why this even needs to be discussed. Pour everything we've got into Putins destruction and make Russia the 3rd world cesspool it yearns for. (and deserves)
