they aren’t, but America represented the free world and fought for it. You and your ilk would have watched nazi germany succeed.
Nope... No comparison. Nazi German is many many multitudes more powerful than modern Russia. Russia's GDP is 11th, and dropping like a rock. Their currency is at an all time low. One rouble equals one US penny. They are one oil market crash away from being finished, If you read up-thread you will find where I posted a Russia to EU comparison of forces, economics, demographics, etc. The overwhelming advantage goes to the EU. Putin has no chance. And if you really parse it... they don't need us either, and why I think leaving NATO should be on the table.
Now, if this discussion had happened say 1956-1975-ish, I would be on the opposite side of this argument. But, there is no comparison whatsoever between Russia and the old USSR, except that they have despot rulers. If anybody that thinks that Putin has the same cards as Stalin, they just doesn't have an understanding of geo-political matters.
Hate to keep bringing up that most of us stopped being afraid of the Boogey Man when we were about 5. Well, the Russian Boogey Man some how haunts an unifromed faction, even here. The real boogey men are the Chicoms. This distraction is to our detriment.
