Hypothetical: If Russia launched a Red Don style invasion of the United States

Would the GOP leaders in Congress and the many deplorables across the country fight or embrace Putin as our new overlord/liberator? I have a feeling it would be the latter.

but the reality of the possible situation scared me away. Pretty sure the deplorables would be flying Russkie flags on their coal burning 4x4's within seconds of hearing it on Fux Newz.

Be sure to watch the 80s version, not the shite remake. I was probably 12 or so when the original came out and pretty tuned into world events and the constant threat of nuclear anhilation we lived under so it was a scary movie in that sense. Still I think I saw it at the theater at least twice. It was a very macho film even though there are some strong female characters so it was the perfect vehicle for drawing in male teens and even some girls given its cast was a who’s who of Tiger Beat cover boys of that era.
