Not just that. Ukraine would also have to “disarm” and be “neutral,” meaning when Russia decides the time is right, Russia can just walk into...
You might mean to respond to the person I was responding to. I acknowledged the possibility, but I don’t think we will try to weaken NATO for the...
Not yet, they won’t. Wish I didn’t, but I agree. For some people the scales just fall off. For others, they have to be blasted off. I hope, same...
Some will indeed. It’s a razor-thin majority, though.
It’s a possibility. You start running into some Congressional resistance when it comes to not meeting treaty obligations, though. Republican...
I am just as upset about the situation as you are. As far as I can tell, we have not paused our planning, intelligence, and targeting support, and...
We absolutely have to shift with the times. The 2% spending “goal” would have been more than sufficient in the first three decades after the end...
Oh, yes, to a degree. As with all things, there is a balance between how much the Alliance mitigates a country’s need to arm and the amount a...
In short, I recommend they don’t “square” it. I recommend they fix it by tossing flawed theories about economic interdependence, isolating the...

Let’s say Z is out. Is he the only thing holding Ukraine together? Does it naturally follow that Europe stops supporting Ukraine, and the...
I understand why he would feel that way. Unlike Afghanistan, though, this is not over yet. Let’s see what happens.
I’ll say the same thing I have said every time you casually predicted an impending decisive Russian victory in the field over the last two years:...
I can’t speak to the guys in your brother’s squadron. Personally, I’m depressed by the latest turn of events. There’s just not much I can do but...
It’s an interesting link but wholly unrelated to my post. I was only discussing why virtually any ship attempting to dock in an enemy port could...
If only war was as simple as ordering it so. Why not start with an “order” to gain air superiority?
I think you’re right. No reasons that actual weapons needed to be on that ship. Even if it only contained materials such as food, clothing,...
I think that ship was a fair target under the rules of war, even with “completely civilian cargoes.” I’m just surprised that Russia was able to...
You mean those two Asiatic Russians who only speak the North Korean dialect?
