Who’s going to stop him? I’m surprised Trump hasn’t invited Russian troops to the US to help with the protests.

You say that, but I’d be shocked if many if not all of those idiot Boogaloo LARPers aren’t
being funded by Putin somehow.

I remember my mom being crazy about the movie, and we watched a couple of times when it was on TV. I need to see if it’s streaming.

M y mom liked it too - I think there still might even be a VHS copy somewhere at her house.

Wh o here remembers how the leader of the Hungarian Revolution was a Communist member of the NKVD who found refuge in the Yugoslavian Embassy and whose last words before the show trial judges claimed that “ the Hungarian people and the international working class will acquit me of these heavy accusations”, and whose statue has been removed from its central Budapest location by Victor Orb an because he was a Communist?
Golly , I hope it’s not just me. For one thing, I’m not even European.

I’m genuinely surprised NATO hasn’t done anything. Technically, if Russia sends police ( troops) , I believe they have to respond.

America certainly won’t, at least not under Trump. NATO doesn’t want a war with Russia, and Putin knows it.

No, America won’t do it on their own, but I believe the whole purpose of the NATO treaty, is “you attack one, you attack all”. Its a deterrence , like mutually assured destruction

No, I wouldn’t expect America to go in on their own. As you say, it’s supposed to be a group effort. Trump has done more to undermine NATO than Putin could have hoped for in his wildest dreams, which might be one more argument that Trump is under Russian influence. Still, Russia invaded Crimea and annexed it (during the Obama administration) , and continues to support rebels in Ukraine, and NATO has done basically nothing.

Ukraine has a plan to join NATO, which Putin despises, but technically isn’t a part of it.

NATO has no obligation to respond to troops being sent into a non NATO country, especially a non NATO country that has been ruled by a dictator for the last couple decades.

Belarus isn’t part of NATO
