What odds would you put on the OP not watching the whole thing?
None because I don't give two shits about Mearsheimer or any other Putin-fluffer.
Simply put, this is a war over democracy versus dictatorship.
Everything else counts but that's still THE BIGGEST factor.
Putin wins, goodbye global democracies, starting with our own.
Enter fascist dictatorship.
Putin wants to restore some kind of Imperial Russian Empire within his own borders? We can't really stop him, but the fact is, he's not satisfied with
"only within his borders" and never was. He's after global conquest...he actually thinks he can pull it off, and if he did, it's guaranteed he would loot
every central bank in every vanquished country until he was flush with the cash he needs to sustain his vision.
It's democracy versus Putin's dream of global dictatorship, and I'm 65 years old and if I'm going to go out, I'd prefer going out doing
something/anything within my power to keep my kids safe from a madman like him or his goons.
If it's not enough, at least I know I tried my best.
Putin's latest TV rant specifically defined democracy AS the enemy. He said it openly, on the air.
