#13  Why would russia want to rule over effeminate europeans?

Don't know about Russia, but I would rather not see Europe where European techs & engineers work for Muslim rulers.

#12  I recall the russian president during an interview with russia media said something along the lines of:

Why would russia want to rule over effeminate europeans?

Caused me to laugh because of the truth to it.

#11  @#5 - And a little Iran-Contra, perhaps, or is my timeline off?

#10  ^ The Cuban built giant airstrip was most certainly on the Foggy Bottom and DoD radar. Likely unrehearsed, a 'hey you' operation.
Grabbed media headline, as intended.

#9  ^So, a shear coincidence.

#8  ^ Beirut was likely meticulously planned. Grenada, possibly not so much. Dropping paratroopers without reserve chutes at 400 AGL (below ZSU capability), raw courage indeed.

#7  #5 Was it well planned or improvised?

#6  Nobody's gonna attack the Baltics - they'll just have a regime change (goose, gander) and exit NATO.

#5  /\ Marine barracks bombing in Beirut 23 Oct 1983. Granada invasion 25 October 1983.

Some might call it a mere coincidence.

#4  Not sure Putin gives a hoot about the Baltic states, but, there are quite a few ethnic Russians there being shit on in varying degrees by their hosts.

But if Reagan can invade Grenada over a few medical students, then....

#3  ^Ze French will surrender.

#2  The French have endured a foreign occupation. They would not play along. Moscow and several other RU cites would disappear very rapidly.

#1  Of course he doesn't consider Latvia, Estonia, or Lithuania as being part of NATO but greater Russia.
