Then you get wrapped around your own axle where you assume 'the establishment" (who exactly?) would not confront Putin directly?  Who said Haley or Biden or DeSantis would not confront Putin directly? How do they know?

But you would confront him directly?

Trump would? 

Is that what you want?

Be clear about what you want.  Don't just say other people are wrong without saying what you think is right.  You're getting lost refuting things no one said.

The duplicity of cowards is undeniable.

Duplicity? You're the one who called Eric an ignorant appeaser for no reason.

Now when asked to explain yourself you shrink away?  You're the one being a coward.

If you weren't a coward, you would do one of two things.  You would either confront that you're wrong, admit it, or explain why I'm wrong.

Like many here (Winger, sneakers, SC1, FSG), you probably think that politics is just for the LOLs and pro wrestling style promos, and you shrink away when someone wants to get specific and detailed because that's "boring" or "annoying". Or maybe you're more like L2L and you've repeatedly fallen victim to random rabbit hole indoctrination on YouTube and mistake that for informed knowledge.

Note that I have claimed nothing about who is an appeaser, which candidate has better ideas about Russia, or anything on the actual topic.  My mind is actually open on that topic, if you can convince me.

Here are facts.

Iran, China and Russia are allies.

Is this an Axis of evil or not? Simple question.

I don't need a diatribe of your crap, just a yes or no.

It absolutely is an axis of evil, yes.  Almost everything they cooperate on is designed to hurt us and our allies.  Don't forget North Korea and sometimes Venezuela.  EricC85 probably agrees with me.  What do you think?
