Russia already invaded Ukraine and conquered land. Now it's coming back for more using the same tactics they used for Crimea, but with a twist here and there and on larger scale.

No one wants to deal with Russia, have anything to do with Russia, or hear of it at all. No one. They're a nation of misery and nothingness. Would you leave your apartment, right now, go to the slums and start shit with the people over there? The thought that the US is looking for excuses to mess with Russia is insane.

And spending any time on Russia is a wasted time and resources which could have been spent towards more productive things. But if you let Russia run around and conquering this and that will force your hand eventually, at which point the time and resources you have to spent to deal with them would have grown massively.

Russia has natural resources, which is vital to the European economy. But you're right, the mere idea that the US government would have any interest in a conflict with them is so bizarre.
