I'd like to draw attention to my custom title.
But you live in America.
I think he legit wanted better relations with Russia (as every leader coming in has tried), but once he took the office and got unloaded with the info and all the shit that comes with the job, he probably saw how impossible that was.That's just my guessEither way, being president has to be one of the worst jobs in the world.

You really think that would suddenly stop Russia from meddling in NATO countries where they're trying to fuck with elections left and right? Or making Finland feel ever so nervous? No, Russia has always been a piece of shit in that regard. A lot of it is just bluster though because their military isn't nearly as bad ass as they'd want you to think. What happened to the ONE carrier they had? It broke down last I checked.

Most polls show that Americans are tired of being involved in the Middle East, and sending our troops into another conflict would only gut approval ratings.
You bring up a good point. But iirc, someone raised the point to me that even when Russia had collapsed, they've constantly been harassing the border states near them. Forgive my quick reply, multitasking, but didn't they invade some nation in the 90's because they wanted to break off with them or something?
Boots on the ground might be too much though.

Just turned on the news, one of the news anchors said the Secretary of State said Russia has been incompetent.We're fucked.
They "Invaded" Georgia a little over a decade ago; I use parenthesis because I don't count Russia supporting-Georgians opening the gates for Russian tanks to roll through to be an invasion.

Edit: No wait, you were right. My mistake.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_Chechen_War Yeah this.
So, before we get nuked, can we just nuke ourselves first?
hey gamers, this is just like that video game, "call of duty"
Interesting. What mainly caught my eye was the thing where you said people were acting dead then opening their eyes. That's a pretty hefty claim. As for all this, it seems I need to do some more research of my own, which I'll get to this weekend.Not right now since I just got Persona 5 though, but you've left me intrigued for later.
