Ukraine is every bit as much a gangster nation as Russia....more so. Render onto Putin what is Putin's. It's none of our affair. The whole mess has exposed the sickening lack of resolve and a contemptible drift toward woke fantasy on the part of our erstwhile allies in Western Europe. Let Germany, France and the UK face their fears of Putin alone. Americans aren't afraid of Russians and, frankly, the Russians have proven themselves to be better guardians of Euro-Christian culture than the sleazy trash in Berlin and Paris. We have more to gain from association with Russia than to keep them on our naughty list. What do we get from the French and English except a startling lack of gratitude considering we have been saving them from themselves for the past 90 years? Western Germany particularly was graced by the mercy of the victors.... and yet....
...fck 'em. There's a new sheriff in town and we don't really care if the French are offended that we have had enough of their free-loading, condescending bullshit. They are weak and irrelevant. Their feeble imperial designs and half-baked 'culture' wilted before they even bloomed. All Trump is saying is we're done paying a premium and and selling at a discount just because we have more shit together than other countries. We're done thinking we owe something to every Third World beggar on Earth.
The fact is this: We do not owe anyone anything. They owe us.
