Putin threatens military action

Oh Lord, we would have our hands full in the US, and I'm afraid Shav will be calling us for help if he is close enough to hear the bombs in Ukraine, only about 2000 miles.
Surely other countries won't call on us for help. Denmarkians,lNetherlanders, Belgium are even closer. Guess we need to build up our military.

When was the last time Europe called for the US’s help?

1941, for sure, and many months before that, Since then, it is a little muddled about who instigated our going into other countries (lib call it occupying ) to help various fights,.....yeah, a bit muddled. Not the slam-dunk no-brainers as was WWII.

You suggest that that would not happen? If Putin said, why don't we spread a little more west, would not those little flower countries scream for our nukes???

Have you ever heard of the term "ugly American"? That term describes stereotypical Americans who visit other countries, often behaving as spoiled, pompous, often racist a-holes.

The reason the term "ugly American" exists is because of the stereotypical behavior Americans, as observed in this thread:

"I spect the Arabs hate us because we have trees."

^ Like that, for example. So in your analogy, America is the "ugly woman".

You realize Russia invaded Ukraine and took over the southern part of the country, right? Are you saying just let Russia annex whatever country they want? Or were you even aware that happened?

Be more informed before spouting off clearly ignorant opinions.

Hey, I'm not judging. If you think Ukraine is yours to exploit and meddle in, then go ahead and use your military might and bravely take it from Russia.

And after you're done, why not take Russia from Russians as well since Russians probably invaded Russia.

And why stop there; just take over Europe and the whole Asian continent and turn planet Earth into a Pfizer-CocaCola-Monsanto-Exxon utopia. You already did that with South America which is now probably enjoying great prosperity with zero poverty.

This is like saying, "Look at that poor, uneducated minority community. Guess I need to get more rich."

You're not going to do anything about it.
