Why is Putin getting a pass from many?

33. More hippy punching

Yyyyaaaayyyyy!

Notice, I have "not taken sides." If those in the corridors of power want war, they will get war. And it will be the poor saps doing the killing and dying. You might see that as anti American, my country right or wrong, and all that, it is not...it's reality.

If they don't want war and miscalculate we will get that result too, where the poor saps do the killing and dying while the usual suspects get rich. Now total war, that would be the height of miscalculation, maybe not.

This is not about the people, it is about real politic and spheres of influence.

And yes, people have a right to be critical, they are not being anti American. Sometimes nations deserve it, very much so, in this case well Russia is recreating the Empire, AGAIN!.

Suffice to say, it will be a lot of chest thumping, bad, bad Russia, out of the G-8 and a lot of UN posturing, quietly we might even restore the A-10 program, they have armor. Even reverse the cuts to the force. The MIC is likely thanking Putin right at the moment. Of course that's just in private. In public they are joining the chorus.

But do proceed with the hippy punching.
