    1) Our vassals do not take orders very well.

    2) As long as Russia does not invade its neighbors, then they have nothing to fear from NATO. NATO is a defensive organization. For many years, Germany has been a major customer of Russia's oil and gas industry. Why would a NATO country prop up the economy of a country it is trying to destroy?

    3) Why would Russia need to be contained if they were not a threat to invade their neighbors?

    If I dream about Putin the, by extension, my disputants sniff Biden’s hair.

    Well, if you suspect it, it must be true. No need to even look at facts at this point.

    Is fighting Russia with Ukrainians any worse than Russia suiting up their military pilots and putting them in Soviet planes with North Korean markings and killing American pilots during the Korean War? How would you feel if the U.S. put Ukrainian flags on F-35's and sent U.S. pilots in to obliterate Russia's air forces? If Russia did it first, then it must be o.k., right?

    D - Bot. The reason is because what you and Comrade Putin offer is 10x more disgusting and pathetic than the absolute worst the US may do.

    Soviet and Russian Confederation lies are easily transparent to even the most uneducated.

    One merely needs to hop on the Trans Siberian to get a most enlightening education about what Russia is and has to offer.

    A deeper dive into history truly reveals what a collection of political failures that have plagued the poor Russian Citizenry since the first Millennium AD.

    The F35 (or F22) scenario has occurred to me. We could be racking up some serious kills over the Left Bank and Russia could do almost nothing about it, except make accusations. The problem is, they would get mighty suspicious when they were losing aircraft in air-to-air battle but never got radar hits on any of the opponents and never had eyewitnesses from their surviving fighter pilots. Russia knows that Ukraine couldn’t pull that off. So I’m all for closing the skies over all of Ukraine to aggressor aircraft, but we might as well do it openly. Russia has already proven they can’t do anything about it except whine.

    I am waiting for our comrade to claim that the guard collapsing at the queen's coffin was ordered to do so by Biden as a signal to Ukraine that Donbas is ready to fall.

    Duggar is Dreamliner?
    Well then it’s starting to make a a bit more sense. He always liked to blame the west for WW2 also - his take was that imperialism was deemed OK until Japan and Germany did it. And he never liked the militarism of the west much.
    But he was also a pretty strong libertarian, weird that he would align with a dictator like Putin.

    Personally, I think not. Dreamliner was a little out there. And there was a lot he wrote that I would roll my eyes at. But life under a ass-clown like Putin would have been Dreamliner’s nightmare scenario. He would never have gotten on his knees for Putin and acted like he was okay with an unprovoked invasion for conquest in the 21st Century.

Go wherever makes you happy dad, cuz obviously you’re in the wrong country. Venezuela maybe? Ps I feel sorry for dugger if, in fact, you are his dad. im out.

    What is the proof Dreamliner is duggers_dad?

    I don’t remember that poster being so fully out there. I wasn’t always active on this forum, but I vaguely remember this poster. Dreamliner was an extreme libertarian anti-government type. Not sure how you morph from that to full Putin. Dreamliner as I recall was at least sometimes amusing, which is lacking here.

    I second the above poster. It’s annoying how this forum just straight up doesn’t moderate obvious trolls. Even using the block function mucks up the conversations.

    Well, some diseases are degenerative, I suppose. A person who can be slightly challenged in an area can go to moderately challenged to severely challenged in just a few years. If Dreamliner wants to carry the water for a 21st Century Hitler, so be it. So long as he knows we’re all having a lot of fun at his expense as Putin marches backwards.

    If Putin openly proclaims viruses as real, we will have a conundrum.

    There are many viewpoints on this board and it has become clear to me that attacking and berating members with different viewpoints has become prevalent in this thread. I might remind people that the content being posted is up for discussion. Members are certainly free to keep their opinions of other members to themselves and also have the capability of blocking other members content as they may deem appropriate.

    As a moderator I am quickly coming to the conclusion that this thread has become a sounding board with accusations of a member being a bot or having posted on THFSG under a different moniker. The thread has reduced itself to posting GIF's that are not relevant to discussion on the war in Ukraine. Now I am reading posts that are urging moderators to remove such members who have done nothing but provide information and a point of view that doesn't align with other members on this board.

    From my viewpoint we can either interact with relevant discussion or consider this thread to have run its' course.
