Good opinion piece from The Hill.
Take note - all of you who are pro appeasement.
I don’t mind a Russian hegemony. Thnk about this geopolitically for a moment.
You only have so many choices of “nations” that can achieve a hegemonic power in the region.
Russia
Turkey
Iran
China
Saudi Arabia
Egypt
Poland (far stretch but possible)
Of that list, only Poland is favorable to Russia and they are a long shot.
Would you rather the rise of an Islamic Caliphate? They could marshal the entirety of the Muslim world for the coming of the Mahadi against Christendom. Sounds fun right!
China? The nation that slaughters and surveils it’s own citizens openly? You think they are a better choice?
Nope. I’ll take the Tsars who are mainly Christian and share geopolitical goals with the United States. That’s the better long term pick in my view.
How’d that work out for ISIS?
Wasn’t an established state.
Most likely a CIA asset.
Why are you cheering on Putin?
Says every always Trumper.
Why not sub in the EU or NATO for the power of the region though?
Cooperating with the West on economic and security instead of dealing with a tough guy empire builder.
Lol…Sick fuck ^^^
Care to add something, or are you calling GSC a sick fuck for cheering on Putin? It’s clear that he is.
You can keep pretending that I’m “cheering” on Putin but I just gave you a very sound explanation for why I don’t care if Russia grabs land.
Bc they want western democracy and capitalism to fail. Instead of arguing for western democracy and capitalism, they prefer authoritarianism and economies 100% controlled by big government. They set up strawmen like the caliphate to move you away from the fact that they are big government, authoritarian, dummies.

And there are plenty of examples as to why that is an awful idea - especially for the security of Europe.
The Islamic Caliphate, historically, has been worse to the security of Europe than the Russians.
You think China would be kind to Europe if they were to repeat the Mongolian dynasty.
The problem is, you don’t know history well.
Russians, as much as no one wants to deny it, are Europeans that share culture, religion, and even bloodlines with their neighbors.
How does this address my point?
Still doesn’t address my point.
Says the guy who is entirely fine with appeasement. As most of Germany’s neighbors how that worked out 80 years ago.
And Putin respects and appreciates this so much that he is indiscriminately killing Ukrainians.
Both Russia and Germany are expansionists BUT Russia has always been primarily expansionistic to the east. Germany unfortunately is smack in the middle of Europe. They always believed the majority of that continent was German land. It’s apples and oranges.
Russia never really threatened Western Europe in its history. But keep ignoring that little tidbit.
……and Russia believes much of Eastern Europe (former Soviet states) belongs to them. It’s not apples and oranges. At all.
Russia is literally threatening Eastern Europe. But keep ignoring that little tidbit.
How will appeasing Putin make for a safer Europe - especially Eastern Europe? Honest question.
Classic GSC……ghosting the conversation.
Remember when GSC said Russia wasn’t grabbing land?
Pepperidge Farm remembers.
Yes. And NATO, historically, has been better to the security of Europe than the Russians.
So you can keep ignoring that point if it helps you sleep better, but everyone else sees you dancing around it.
Lol
More comedy
He flat out tells you he’s not…And you just keep screaming. You’re a fucking wack job man.
Add something. Or fuck off.
Actually, you’ve said you don’t give a shit about this conflict. Hence, nothing to add.
So fuck off.
