Allow me to bust your opinion of me...This is why TRUMP was so hated and dangerous to BOTH parties and why they feared him...he helped exposed the entire swamp.

Aww, that's so cute. We can both enjoy that Trump has helped the progressive Democratic cause more than anyone in recent history. He sided with white supremacists, and America responded by removing the most traitor-loving Confederate symbolism in our history. He truly caused more statues and flags to be cancelled than anyone until him. A+ for that.

Then his general buffoonery and lying pretty much made certain he was a 1-termer, to be replaced by a Democrat. A+ again from the Democrats for being such a dumbass and giving them the presidency.

Then, in what all Republicans thought would be a final "*********" to America with Trump's election fraud claims, he ended up inciting the 11/6 mob. Which pretty much sealed the senate runoff's in Jan 2021 to go Democrat and handed the senate over to them.

Now he still screws over the republicans! His SCOTUS picks overturning Roe v Wade and threatening gay marriage and LGBTQ issues has ensured another win for the Democrats in keeping the senate and defeating all the close races with the GOP. A++

That is how the end comes anyways not far off from a world wide nuke war.

No one here is afraid of their nuclear threats now. They know their much smaller population would be wiped out so much faster. They like to talk like they are on equal footing, but that hasn’t been the case for at least 35 years. They are really just slightly more of an annoyance than North Korea at this point, and probably less than Iran.

Now China would be a different story, but how could they nuke the people who support their economy by buying all their stuff?

Also I think we are seeing the obvious result of China starting to buy Russia’s oil for cheap. It leaves a lot of other supply that they used to buy on the market providing more of it for the West to buy, hence oil prices are coming down, and gas prices will follow.
Pooten is the only one crazy enough to send us some nukes duke, Kim can't do it nor Iran dan. Some gnat will fart around the world and make gas prices go way up my man. One Cat 5 cane in the gulf can make prices go to 7+ a gal pal.

The Russians are making more threats about taking back Alaska. I was the under the impression that, since the American population is so well armed, the people would be able to defeat any invading force. I think I am wrong about that. Gun ownership is not the same as being professional soldiers. We definitely need professional soldiers to protect this country.

LOL. OK let me help. We have enough guns for everyone. Yes, even the babies, and the 90 year olds with a walker. And then we have some spare guns just in case. We have about 20 million weapons that most would qualify as military frontline weapons. Id guess about a million of those are in Alaska alone. And quantity has a quality all its own.

But wait theres more. We run about 100's of thousands of people through military training, with 1.3 million active duty personnel, and 800K in reserve that are keeping their training up. So a TON of those people actually have gone through the military even if not currently serving. Taking Alaska is simply only doable if you flattened it with nukes. The people would make it a national sport to see who could kill the most of any invaders.

The military is teaching our soldiers how to be woke pansies. I’ll take armed civilians over professional soldiers any day.
