->No, it's not implausible at all. In fact Putin has all but declared that one of the NATO countries (Poland if I'm not mistaken) is his next target.
I think he's bluffing. If he invaded Poland, then Russia is going to get destroyed! Keep Poland in NATO.
->This is just a fundamentally unserious response.
What's wrong with it? It's more immigration.
->Empowering a nation who wants to see us burn.
They won't burn us unless there are nukes, but then it's mutual and independent of if Russia annexes Ukraine or not.
->Are you seriously disputing that Putin runs his government like a gangster?
No, but I'm saying every head of state runs their government like a gangster. Putin and Trump are honest gangsters. Carney tries to do a big show. He will say that Canada is better than America in every way and will cite life expectency, but he leaves out that for every $1 an American earns, a Canadian earns 70 cents.
Carney, Trump, Putin; all gangsters; but at least Trump and Putin are honest gangsters.
