SO we do nothing? Just let them overrun the Ukraine?
Quite timely that China is harassing Taiwan at the same time. And are we forgetting that Russia has nukes? And that this is like an instant replay of how we appeased Germany and then gave Eastern Europe to Russia? Oh, and don’t forget Manchuria — that Russia turned around and gifted to Mao….
DO we have 8,500 troops left after the vaccine mandates and injuries? Maybe Biden is trying to get them out of the US so they can’t defend the US citizen.
The Dept of HHS and Dept Of Ed have their own troops….
This is a sell out in so many ways. Create chaos, sidetrack the issues, and hit from multiple fronts — Biden is dangerous

Eh, the red pill is so selective. People who maybe realized some of their indoctrination of late and that their sources just feed them shit, yet on other subjects like R keep thinking it’s some kind of miracle exception.
Guess what, it isn’t. And most of the common talk has exactly as much truth as calling J6 insurrection of terrorists and biggest threat on democracy in the last 200 years. Or Trump’s nice people speech, or the 3 years of the other russia hoax witch hunt.
Yeah, last week even Steeve and Bill was riding the same train and called putin all the names brandon did. With exactly the same amount of backing too. Like the donkey is happy to chase the carrot all his life USA folks seem to jump on this bait consistently. So no wonder it is reused with no limit.
Tucker had a good summary on the matter an pointing to all the other matters that should be in centre of the attention, but guess what, it was just good to create even more distruction and making him too called puppet of putin. Along with even the leader of Ukraine. Somehow the people an ocean away always know best.
I’m not sure what you’re getting at here. You ask if we’re going to do nothing and then point out Russia has nukes.
Biden has abetted Putin in his aggressive stance towards Ukraine by allowing completion of the NordStream II pipeline. Before that, the only hard cash Russia had access to was the pipeline through Ukraine and he dared not attack or Ukraine would destroy that pipeline and cut off real money flowing back into Russia.
Now, no matter what sanctions Biden imposes Putin knows the Germans and other European nations are going to make up for that by buying his petroleum. So he’s in a good position to attack.
You offer no opinions on a solution, just state the obvious and leave it at that. Here’s my solution …
American can’t go it alone in a toe-to-toe with Russia over Ukraine. We could probably fight such a war and win but we should not. Especially with the situation on the other side of the Pacific.
Putin’s ‘cassus beli’ is that he doesn’t want NATO expanding eastward so his ‘solution’ is to expand the Russian Federation westward. The absurdity of Putin’s excuses are obvious.
What needs to happen is not to formally ensconce Ukraine as a full fledged NATO member, there wasn’t any danger of that happening any time soon anyway. But rather to treat Ukraine as if it were a member of NATO for military purposes and give Putin the thing he’s whining about for real.
An attack on Ukraine, if it successfully compromises any degree of significant Ukrainian territory, IS an attack on NATO. NATO was expressly formed as a mechanism for keeping the Russian Bear in his cage and on his own territory.
Letting the Russian Bear eat Ukraine is a step in letting him eat Europe.
So NATO, including the US, needs to stand firm and tell ol’ Boris that if he attacks Ukraine, the entirety of NATO will defend it.
In effect, prevent a war by making the starting of one too painful and unprofitable. “Throw down, Boy, let’s see what you’re packin'” would be a way to look at it.
That’s not going to happen especially with a doddering, weak, morally bereft Potato Joe Biden in office. Europe neither has the will nor the trust in America to do something like that.
That said, it’s not really us that is threatened and if our NATO allies don’t have the good sense to read the writing on the wall and the spine to act on it … They get what they deserve.
Too bad for Ukraine that they’re being thrown under the bus by their new European friends but hey … They should be used to it by now. Obammy did it to them and now they’ve got Obammy 2.0 so it’s really to be expected.
The final thing is that I really like Donald Trump throwing his two cents in and reminding Putin that Joe or any weak Democrat won’t always be in office and there may be hell to pay if he doesn’t keep his Bear in its cage.
