Is war with Russia inevitable.

Russia has literally attacked us. They have infiltrated our government. There are Russians everywhere buying our politicians.

When the Democrats gain power there is going to be hell to pay. This is worse than I could have ever imagined. This is not going to end well.

Because Democrats will use the words ENEMY, TRAITOR, UNPATRIOTIC to define Republicans and their ties to Trump. Especially those Democrats running for office who served in the Military.

For those former and retired Military take their service to this country VERY seriously.

However, throughout history things have happened that did not seem possible.

when ratfuckery works so well? None other than Nikita Khrushchev predicted what is happening, and alluded to a non-military methodology to bring it about. When Trump has finally gone, Russia is not going to close shop when it comes to subverting American democracy and national security. They will find ways to work around the "problem" created by the absence of an enabler in the White House.

I remember it well in the 80s. I remember fearing being nuked by Russia back then.

As I understand, kids of the 60's had the same fear.

I don't know the answer to your question. But I sure hope not. I like not glowing in the dark.
