(39,215 posts)their own countries borders and the other was just a military unit. I am sorry but I lived through the cold war. And it was a war from both sides. IF the USSR had an army in say Cuba? wouldn't we object? Oh wait a minute we did.
Russia is not by any means prefect and they have a fool for a leader who wants to take them backwards but it looks to me as if we are doing the same thing - starting the cold war all over again.
And we actually have two presidential candidates who seem to like war - real war - not cold war. Dooms day is something that cannot be helped. What we are doing is walking right into war without even a hint of objection.

(84,711 posts)to a Street Fight? WHY are "Wars thousands of miles away from us more important than Our Own People's Needs?
Haven't we been promoting and fighting "Cold Wars" and "Active Interventions" since the end of WWII?
And, what have we gotten for it but Endless War....Perpetual War that enriches the lives of the Military Industrial Complex.
