I grew up during the cold war, expecting that one day we might be at war with Russia.
I just never expected we would be at war with Russia backed by the president of the USA.

There are surprises to go around. Who would have thought as a citizen of the US that the president would be waging war on the world allied with Russia.
@randahl In this case, you will be at war with Russia.
Sorry, you will be at war, with Russia.
Note the comma.
As in, on their side.
Who against?
ROTW, with the possible exceptions of Iran, North Korea, and Israel.
And 4 out of that 5 country coalition have nuclear weapons.
@randahl don't wish to be rude but they are both fuckwits

Neither did I. 😔
And I loved the time between, where we believed, Russians could be our friends, being humans like us, with the same wishes and desires and ideas about a good life on Earth...
Never could we have imagined a President Trump.
Our friends, the USA, have lost their marbles.

Will China form a triad with Russia and what remains of the United States? Or will they oppose the Putin/Trump monster?
@randahl 💯👿 It’s hard to wrap one’s brain around, really.
@randahl Always was a risk, as racism leaves the door open to it.
The Soviet philosophy on an enemy is:
“If an enemy is weaker, destroy it (Putin on Ukraine), if the enemy is stronger, have it destroy itself (Putin on the USA).
Hate has been allowed to stick around like a cancer in the US, and with empathy removed, it’s easy to manipulate.
@randahl there used to be a time when there was fierce discussion about placing nuclear bombs in the Netherlands. The time of the largest demonstrations, and deep rifts between families and friends.
One of the pro-bomb slogans was: “Liever een bom in de voortuin dan een Rus in de keuken” (rather a bomb in the front yard than a Russian in the kitchen)
It looks like the Russian has found his way to the kitchen after all… The White House kitchen to be precise.
@randahl Same, same.
Never thought the racist and misogynist system underlying the US electoral process would result in a fascist elected 2X by a minority faction, bolstered by an equally fascistic Congress and Supreme Court.
I hope Mitch McConnell is living in hell on earth, trapped in his body, knowing he is cursed and reviled, after stealing a SCOTUS seat and refusing to convict and remove Trump. One man should not have that much power.
And that is if we are lucky. Unless the republican party is removed from power by the voters in the midterm elections, we may be facing a situation where the US will not only support Putin, but may actively ally themselves with him and invoke the law of the jungle, where the strongest have the right to prey mercilessly on the weakest.
China will do nothing (don't interrupt your enemies when they are in the process of weakening themselves) so Europe HAS to stand up and fight back. We are far (very far) from perfect, but at least we are not greedy bloodthirsty monsters with no respect for human life.
@randahl Sad but true. Someone was talking the other day about us buying Russian oil and said we are at war with Iran. Russia supports Iran. We're going to buy oil giving money to Russia who will then use it to support Iran so American tax dollars will actually fund both sides of the war. That is insane when you think about it and all so a few Rich a#$holes can get richer.
