I don’t see globalists in the Ukrainian streets.

I see Ukrainian patriots defending their homes against a former kgb, meglomanical murderer.

Keep cheering on this Biden fiasco while we are in a cold civil war at home owing our freedoms and prosperity. Follow the shiny mirage while at home you are getting sheared like a sheep.

We need a word for when a coup only succeeds half way. The bad guys siezed power but failed to make it permanent. Maybe name the phenomenon after the moron puppet himself. Biden: A coup that succeeds in stealing the election but fails to become a dictatorship.

"The opinions of lying filth do not concern me."

You're putting all your eggs in Biden's basket you fool. What do you think about Biden still buying Russian oil and gas? He won't sent in any troops either so the Ukraine is gone the moment Vlad decides he must go total war. All that Biden is doing is raising the cost of the Ukranians must pay before they lose.

Your the filth enjoying the distraction from the cold civil war here at home in America.

Truth: You see brave Ukrainians preparing to defend their cities after answering the call of their leaders.

Also truth: You see the Ukrainian government encouraging non-combatants - the elderly, women and even children - to become combatants, eventually to be the victims of trained(ish) opponents and corpse photos on the nightly news.

Propaganda is a weapon - realize that weapon is aimed at you, the consumer.

So... As an American, and with our wonderful Second Amendment which can essentially allow civilians to step up during foreign invasion, you would expect the civilian populace to do nothing at all if the same were to happen here? Really? I mean, I assume this parallel stands. Russia is quite a foe, especially to Ukrainians who have seen that shadow looming over them for some time.

Most of Ukraine's women, children, and men physically incapable of fighting have fled west already. What remains are those who want to fight, and who are doing what they can. Civikians stelling up in such a manner is a morale boost for their military, and a morale debuff for enemy combatants, who don't even know WTF they're doing in the first place.

"I’m a retired Army lieutenant colonel—an intelligence officer. My training, from 1983 to 2007, was a Cold War focus on the old Soviet Union, the predecessor state to the Russian Federation. Never in my time as an intelligence officer was I able to see the worst-case scenario of a large-scale conventional Russian attack in Europe—until now.

I’ve seen multiple reports of Russian conscripts who didn’t know they were invading Ukraine. They’re confused. They don’t know who to shoot at, as “Ukrainians look the same as us.” The Russian force appears to suffer from: Poor training; poor leadership (bad officers); and a cultural disregard for information-sharing down the chain of command, which prevents lower-ranking soldiers from making informed decisions in the chaos of war.

The result of all this is a lack of initiative from soldiers when non-commissioned officers and officers are killed or wounded." - As Europe Rallies To Ukraine, Putin Rattles His Nukes

If you start a response with “So...” just assume whatever your write thereafter likely has no bearing on what the other party actually said. The word “So” is a tell for the start of a straw man argument.

Our intelligence in the Soviet Union knew all of this about the Russian Soldier at the end of the seventies.   Every little Ivan was always a mushroom kept in the dark and кормили гуано.   Did you think that would have changed when the military leadership is the same, Colonel?

My main problem is the bear bating since 1991 when the Soviets gave up.   We could have fostered a real relationship of understanding instead of keeping NATO intrusion over their heads always pushing ourselves into the former Soviet Republics.   The sovereign choices of the Eastern Satellites of the Warsaw Pact were to be expected.   But allowing Soviet Republics into NATO or the EU was an understandable bridge too far for President Putin.   Individuals in the Ukraine know all there is to know about the Russian military, even the nuclear secrets.   Of course President Putin was triggered.

What would we do if another country took over one of our territories?   Even if the other nation conjured up a realistic historical or geographic claim.
