I agree.

It's Russia's backyard, they are going to do as they please... just as we would.


I also agree.

The handwringing and righteous indignation when other countries do exactly as we do...exactly, to a tee...is always entertaining, and not in a good way.

Fish on...

I also agree but am confused by that last statement. Are you saying the US regularly sends troops into sovereign nations without a flag patch? If so that's chickenshit too and scares the hell out of me. Without out that patch aren't you just a spy and eligible to be shot on the spot and outside any protections of the world court?

I've noticed that our drones don't have a flag or a US star on them and have always felt that too was chickenshit!


The CIA has been doing this for decades. Some say it's a necessary evil, some say it's just evil. ymmv
