“The White House is writing off an ally to appease an enemy. “

Enemy? When will there be a declaration of war?
What contribution to US security did the “ally” do?

“15,000 American citizens currently in Ukraine”

Gee, that sounds familiar.

Some fairly new citizens need to open their eyes and come to their senses.

Anytime talk of war comes out, I ask myself one question:
Is this worth planting one of my sons?
So far, since 2002, the answer is always no

“the Nord Stream 2 pipeline project was allowed to proceed”

Germans tend to be frugal.

If I were Ukraine, I would not depend on the USA for help. Americans will not support the current President that is illegitimate in defending Ukraine.

*** Rather than warn Putin that he will be held responsible for any harm that might come to the 15,000 American citizens currently in Ukraine, the administration has announced that it is developing plans for their evacuation.***

I wonder if this evacuation will be any more successful than the one in Afghanistan.

Except for him, it’s not a catastrophe - it’s exactly what was planned.

We’re not supposed to be paying attention to any of this stuff, however: We’re supposed to focus on this stupid virus/vaccination BS until, by hook or by crook, the world’s population has been reduced by one-third. Then it will get really interesting.

What contribution to our security do any of our "allies" do?

They only "help" us fight their enemies.

Our biggest security threat is our porous borders. That should be our security priority.

This is Robert Zubrin's Wiki page, if anyone is interested in his background. It doesn't say if he has Ukrainian ties.

The Russian ultimatum was outrageous, so much so that it is clear that it was designed to be rejected, giving Russia a pretext for war.

IIRC, that happened at the opening of WWI. Austro-Hungary's Archduke Ferdinand was assassinated in Serbia and Serbia wanted very much to avoid a war. Austro-Hungary sent them some sort of ultimatum detailing how Serbia could avoid war. It was so totally unreasonable that it was clear to everyone that the war was going to happen. And it just got bigger and bigger.

I was going to say that, but then I hit “refresh.”

I was going to say “Why is Ukraine our ‘ally’ when they’ve never helped us with a gosh-darned thing?”

I agree with you 100%, our own farm has enough problems.

I won’t blame Biden.

I will blame every single congressman and senator who refused to defend our vote on Jan 6, 2021.

Trump controlled the southern border AND sent Javelin missiles to Ukraine.
