So….just like that the right is pro war (again)…
IMO the ONLY answer to contain Putin is the threat of Total War. And I'll be there first to admit there is a significant risk of actual WWIII in that strategy. But there is an equally pronounced risk without it.
So... why do I not advocate that strategy.
The Left has proven over and over... from Korea to Afghanistan...that America doesn't have the political will for total war. Putin understands this as well. He knew we aren't capable of mounting a substantial threat to his aggression.
The left has changed America... just as Obama promised.
We're not a warrior culture. We're a victim culture.
Outside of the intercity Blacks and Hispanics and the Rural Rednecks... America has no balls...no toughness...no fighters...no Machismo.
In fact Machismo is now officially TOXIC.
Think the skinny jeans wearing soy boys are going to suddenly emerge from their parents basements ready to take on the Russians?
You and I grew up about the same time in the same area. You remember the Camo craze? I remember begging my folks to buy me Camouflage...in fact I got it for my birthday.
No way that would happen today. Toy guns are evil, masculinity is evil, the military and police are the bad guys, how many decades have the left been advocating for reduced military budgets to free up money to give away to people so they can continue to contribute nothing?
Until we fix our own problems...we are in no position to fix the world's.
