I don't know how much experience you have with bullies, but they get their power through the use of intimidation and the actual propagation of violence.
They don't surrender their power/control peacefully.
We are seeing that play out in the ukraine.
8 years the control freaks in Kiev have been shelling civilian areas of the Donbass.
Many other gov'ts tut tutted them all those years, but never moved to stop them.
Attacking the other bullies is likely to be a money losing proposition.
If you are in control of a government, attacking governments is not high on your list, presuming you are not suicidal.
Only Russia has stood up and said enough is enough.
This is how rule by force works.
Whoever has the most force makes the rules.
As we see even a force as large as Russia can put into the field can get bogged down when confronted with the choice of wholesale slaughter of everybody and choosing only to fight those willing to resist.
They could just pulverize all the built up areas, but that isn't what is happening.
We will just have to wait to see how it plays out over there.
Here at home we should be preparing for our own defense.
It's no secret that the 2nd amendment has kept us safe on our own shores for the entire time the united snakes has existed.
Without the population having guns, and ammo, we would look like klanada, guatamala, austraila, or any number of other places where the people gave up their guns to those who wanted to control them.
Guns and ammo, for everybody is the only way to insure personal freedom in a world determined to centralize control over others.
That is all, for now, you may resume your otherwise mundane day.
To contest the characterization of your day as mundane, make a post of your own explaining why your day is not mundane and ping me, eh?
