The truth is very slippery. What is the truth here? Everybody has their own opinions. I'm sure the ones that I've expressed here on this blog must seem incredibly naive to some people. Perhaps it is. But I'll hold to it.
What are we defending in Europe? Even if Putin wants to take over Europe, why should we care? Look at Europe has done to itself. Should we be defending that?
I think not. We have gone down the European route a long ways ourselves. We are totally destroying ourselves, so it shouldn't be a surprise that a hostile power is seeing us in a weakened condition and is preparing to strike. Putin may not have this intention, but I tend towards realism. The reality is that Europe is weak and we are getting weaker. The temptation to take advantage of the situation will lead to an aggressive response. Always has, always will.
Our best option is to remain neutral. We should be concentrating on righting our own ship. Let Europe and the Russians take care of themselves. We have other problems. We are not the country we were when we stood as the only bulwark against Communism right after World War II. It is folly to stretch ourselves beyond our capabilities. The fact is that we've probably already lost Europe and are getting dangerously close to losing our own country. That is what we should be concerned about most right now.
