    In the case of China, you have to see it a bit more differentiated ... because the behavior of China in terms of free trade, etc. is also shameful and the anger of the United States is also a bit justified.
    However, the idiot in the White House is unfortunately someone for whom solving problems lies in beating up the other and then hoping that the other will surrender and will not beat back. This is of course a not acceptable behavior.

    The Interior Director. Shouldn't he be worried about Smokey Bear...not the Russian Bear.

    If he said that in the context of that article, he must know that a blockade is an act of war.

    Russia, more advanced tech? I need some proof of that. If the US didn't burn so many food crops in our gas tanks we could over take Russia in food exports.

    You know that Russia as a military threat to the US is dead, right?

    So what? Isn't the US not the same way a military threat to Russia too?
    And what the hack has Russia done that it will reason this crap please ... something what the US has not done or is still doing to Russia the same way or to someone else on this planet?

    It is really silly, but what if they will find it necessary,
    they can of course do it.

    So what? Hitler is also dead. But even the American president remembers him. And even quotes him. For example, Obama says - "We are an exceptional nation"

    Says who again?
    For me, Russia is a far more reliable country than the US since the current idiot sits in the White House! No, of course I'm not a fan of Putin, but at Putin everyone knows where to turn and what's up ... but at Trump not!

    . . . interesting, somewhat true, but does not excuse Russia being the sick man of Europe.

    Lol ... :roflol::roflol::roflol:

    “President Trump considers that the price is high; he’s partly right, but let’s be honest,” Putin said at the Russian Energy Week conference in Moscow on Wednesday. “Donald, if you want to find the culprit for the rise in prices, you need to look in the mirror.”

    Nothing can't be more true ... :applause:

    Sure, but you said that McCain "should be kept in a psychiatric clinic under the vigilant supervision of doctors." Why would this be necessary if the man is no longer with us?

    Keep your pants on. We can bring down Russia without nukes.
    I know you will brown your underwear but you must at least try to keep yourself together!

    And you really believe this nonsense? Come on ... you can think better about things in direction of facts!
    Do you really believe that Russia will sit down and submit?

    The USA can turn the electricity off in Russia at any moment.

    The USA is not afraid at all of Russia.

    Actually, they can do it faster than you. So there!

    Overconfidence of the own possibilities and underestimation of the opponent are apparently American virtues ...

    How was that once again with the jerks of the Bush administration? Oh yes ...
    "Al Qaeda? Bin Laden? Bullshit ... all an exaggerated crap of Clinton! Important and dangerous is only Saddam and Iraq!".
    And then came 9/11/2001 ...

    Ahahaha .... This is a typical statement of the Ukrainian traitors. Those who collaborated with the Nazis and carried out punitive operations destroying the Jews. In addition, the Judenrat Jews also thought.

    The United States is very afraid of Russia. You could even say - The United States shaking with fear. If the US had not been afraid of Russia, they would have attacked it long ago. For example, the US is not afraid of Panama. The US is not afraid of Grenada. The United States, in its stupidity, was not afraid of Vietnam. And so on. But the United States is very afraid of Russia. And although in the White House and the Pentagon are sitting crazy, but the instinct of self-preservation and banal fear stops them from attacking Russia.
