Yeah, totally see how we were really the aggressors there.

I don't know what I said that would require such rudeness from you. There are more ways to be aggressive than simply run running tanks across a border.

The Democrat's entire argument in 2016 was that Russia subverted US elections to install Trump as President. A $40 million dollars investigation later found no evidence that that was true, but our newfound Russiaphobia is still a useful scapegoat.

Is it really so hard to imagine that we don't do the same thing in other countries? In the post-nuclear age, this is what hybrid wars look like. Nuclear armed countries can't go into direct conflict with each other. If they want to expand their spheres of influence, they have to be subtle about it.

What was rude about my response?

Pulling out a gun in a fistfight is an escalation of conflict, which Russia did. This was hardly an unavoidable action with no other alternatives.

At 155 rubles to a dollar, without an end in sight, I'd say Putin choose poorly.

It is only recently Russia wasn't viewed as an outright enemy. And you know why they are, it's because they do shit like this. When this was first going down, my thought was we're going to see Russians as the bad guy in films again.
