    It's a pretty well-written piece, meant to buttress Trump's approach. While clearly mistakes and overreach by the west were part of it, it blithely ignores the fact that a sovereign nation was invaded by another. Why, Russia just HAD to initiate over a million casualties.

    Still, there are lessons that should be paid attention to.

      Before I dive into it, does it also cover the lead up to the 2014 invasion?

          Does it also include the invasions in 1450, 1659, 1769, 1918, 1919, 1920, and 1939 as well?

                It probably got lost when Klaus had to reset the board earlier today. A couple of my glistening pearls of wisdom were lost, too.

                I was only joking
