#2 " Sweden and Finland that have already moved ahead to join NATO" Turkey threw a wrench into that one.Russia and China are vast territories. I don't see media attacks on the leadership of China of cancer, mental instability or delusions of world conquest when China is the bugger here in this day and age.

#3 Well, I mean, everyone from from Tom Freidman to Tony Fauxi says we should be more like china. Who's gonna argue with experts like those?

#6 Our former NATO assigned troops could be put to very good use along the Mexican border.

Tip to the Euro's and our former NATO allies; keep an eye on the Russian rail system. If they are coming your way, it appears they'll be arriving via train. Just something I recently noticed.

#7 That’s been one of my primary take aways from the Ukrainian conflict. On both sides - one train line is barely adequate for supplying defense but two train lines operating fuel an advance. Not much change from WW2 if you study logistics from that period. Trucks simply can’t transport enough POL, munitions and armor to REMAB sites to establish critical mass for an offense

Yeah, and they remember what all those Russians did to Napoleon and Hitler. So now it's no surprise if Russians think of NATO as the 21st Century version of wannabe conquerors from the West. And you think that just because Joe Biden says it ain't so that it ain't?

Face it, folks, it's been dirty for dirty for centuries and Russians are not the only ones with a history of aggression. Too bad we can't just get along.
