Oh yeah, and overthrowing the governments all over the world isn’t “playing the punk”.

“Look, Saddam has weapons of mass destruction!”... One destroyed country later: “So we were wrong.”

Take Ukraine as an example. Russia had a lot of capital invested there, 70% or so were speaking Russian at home. Next thing you know, there’re all those new tv stations literary coming out nowhere(like Espresso TV) and financed from abroad, fueling the rage. Nuland handing out cookies at Maidan. How do you call that? The country I was living in had it government overthrown in a matter of months.

That’s just a world we live in, big countries play big.




I mean sure, but we can expend resources, they don’t have that luxury.

It’s like Venezuela threatening to invade Columbia. I guess they could try, but they have much bigger issues to deal with than showing they “have more soldiers”.
