2. Haven't watched the video yet but

I'm hearing rumblings of pooty possibly going into Poland. I will say it again, the man is bat shit crazy!!!

That means attacking a NATO country.

3. But it's also part of history, Putin seems determined to turn back the clock

My maternal grandmother had no love for the Russians - since she emigrated to the U.S. as a young girl in 1912 from Russian-occupied Poland.

4. You will never win

hearts and minds at the point of a gun. The Russians never seem to learn this lesson.

6. He's asking for it if the goes into Poland, a NATO country. What is up with him?

Is it mental? His megalomania is showing and I guess he's forgetting we have nukes too and attacking us is a guarantee of mutually assured destruction.

Megalomaniacs in power like him and trump are an extreme danger to the world.

5. Definitely his and a competent therapist's theme, since it's HIS unfinished business.
