My prediction. We will not go to war and Ukraine will be in alliance with Russia by April.
The whole thing is about funding packages, as signed by congress.
It will work out Biden and Putin will get their 10 per cents.
What the hell has Russia got to say about Ukraine joining NATO?
They can join NATO without us putting three divisions there.
I call BS on the Russians being afraid of us invading Russia.
The Russians are trying to control Ukraine on the cheap.
I like that and it’s surely true.
All Biden has to do is tell Putin Ukraine well not join NATO….if they invade ban them from western banking and maybe we will stop importing Russian oil…at 90 dollars a barrel….
I don’t think it’s up to Russia to make decisions about Ukraine or NATO.
Ukraine was part of Russia for 400 years. Venezuela and Cuba, not so much.
Russia doesn’t want to have Ukraine. It’s a black hole & failing state. If the Ukrainians attack in Donbass, Russia will reunite with the parts of Ukraine that were Russian before Lenin drew the internal Soviet boundary and put them into today’s Ukraine (as Khrushchev did with Crimea). But hopefully that won’t happen.
“Ukraine that were Russian before Lenin drew the internal Soviet boundary and put them into today’s Ukraine “
To be clear neither the Donbass nor Crimea were Russian culturally until 1944 when Stalin deported the local Tartars and Cossacks and replaced them with Russian settlers.
There’s also this from Yahoo News:
About 6,000 troops have deployed from the U.S. to Europe, nearly all of whom are soldiers with the Army’s 82nd Airborne Division. They’re backed by a growing array of military aircraft and rapid-response airmen who can quickly make airfield space to launch combat operations from anywhere.
US Air Force ramps up intel flights, weapons shipments to Ukraine
American fighter jets stationed elsewhere on the continent have moved farther east, including squadrons from Spangdahlem Air Base in Germany and RAF Lakenheath in England. B-52 bombers also arrived at England’s RAF Fairford on Thursday for a previously planned European rotation, as airlifters continue to jump around the region.
“And finally, DJT would not have tolerated Russian invasions in Europe”
He tolerated the 2014 seizures.
No POTUS would militarily oppose a Russian invasion of Ukraine...past, present or future.
It is to protect the Biden crime family, Ukraine, Russia, China. ALL our enemies own the Biden family.
Yeah I know what you mean. Though the exit from Afghanistan was um...not the way it should have gone. I get that we were there for way too long but...I don’t know. Who am I to say. I never served there.
As far as Russia is concerned, that’s a part of the world I know well and I agree...just because the American left used and uses Russia-Russia-Russia as a deploying tactic for so many things — it doesn’t mean that Putin is some great hero guy. It’s not even about him, so much as the system he’s spent his entire 20+ years in power resurrecting...albeit Russia’s still a shadow of its former Soviet self. The shadow is preventing countries like Ukraine and others (Kazakhstan) from true independence and progress.
When were you in Ukraine?
I’m not necessarily keen on sending U.S. troops to Ukraine, but I wouldn’t mind if Ukraine kicked some Russian ass. Putin is not our friend.
Untrue. Been to Russia (which is farther east than most of the former Eastern-Bloc countries) and while it was no United States, it wasn't really horrid.
Ukraine should be a rich country, instead it is like a third world sewer.
Why should any care if Russia does or doesn’t do anything in Ukraine. Our southern border is being deliberately destroyed and you are concerned about the Ukraine?
Who cares? Our southern border is being deliberately destroyed and you are concerned about the Ukraine?
Why should any American give a crap about the independence and as you so amusingly put it progress of Kazakhstan or the Ukraine? Our southern border is being deliberately destroyed and masses of turd world barbarians are being prepared to flood in. The Ukraine can F itself.
Maybe I can be concerned about both. Did you consider that possibility?
