it will certainly be interesting to see what he actually has targeted once some halfway useful info get out.

if that is all he has, he can go on the mental ignore list. FR has long refused to enable such a function, imo to its detriment.

True so let me expand on that.
I’m sick of people who “looked at a map” and suddenly realized Russia deserves to, needs to, etc - invade Ukraine. It’s a truly idiotic rationalization of a military attack which is the result of Biden’s weakness, and just as Afghanistan led to this, Ukraine may lead to a Taiwan invasion. And then the dangers multiply. Loss of Taiwan would be a disaster, but we and our allies may then have no choice but to fight a larger war. With fools like Biden in charge, things can get out of hand very quickly.
Russia has no need or justification to invade, that’s nonsense. Ukraine is indeed strategic as Russia is about to break into the black sea. And Ukraine is loaded with vital world resources which Russia will now control.
If that’s lost on some people, including Tucker Carlson who has done us a terrible disservice on this, I’m sorry.

As a staunch conservative who has been here 10 years longer than you, I am not even remotely a troll on FR.

Well, you have an incredible imagination I’ll say that. Turn off the TV and things will look brighter. Putin is Not planning to occupy the Ukraine. He’s conducting a surgical strike to clean out the gesarian mafia. Trump knows very well what Putin is doing. Does Trump look upset? Biden and his son Hunter are or were involved up to their necks with those criminals. They are the cabal, the NWO backed up by the EU.

Hearing from some reporters that Ukrainians didn’t seemed to be ready for this as far as the public goes. Despite all the warnings the people are complacent since they’ve heard so many of these warnings.....until last night when it started. Of course now they have concerns.

Additionally Ukraine Army wasn’t as prepared in how they were seeing things developing....might be why the Pres. of Ukraine got so upset with Biden for blowing the horn too early.....it would send a false alarm before it needed to be sent.

i hope you aren’t one of those ‘china bought the canal’ people

no one who ever lived in panama took that seriously. what china bought was the government of panama, specifically ballardes but others too. money talks.

a lot of chinese came in then. that was 20 yrs ago. now they have kids growing up in panama.

i have never had an issue with them.

the business about balboa/cristobal ports (to some people this = the canal, it doesn’t) seems like semantics.

you cannot defend it against a resourceful and determined enemy. period.

That was a reporter who had traveled through the region...his observation. But I also read it on social media sites monitoring this event.

I suspect Ukrainians having been in conflict for 8 yrs, most recently, and been down this road so many times before might not be prepared for this time. That’s just another problem with waring countries who have conflicts going all the time.

And why do you think you’re not the one who would be blocked? Just wondering.

Yep.....think so as well. He did lay out what he was going to do so we’ll see soon enough as reports come in....from those on the ground.

However our news pundits always get it wrong as they spin every report. So I rely more on foreign press.

Interesting G-7 having emergency meeting today....UN emergency meeting last night (which was a joke)....but watching foreign social media comments it’s stunning how people really aren’t blaming Putin and see Nato and the US as the problem in Ukraine.

Well, you have an incredible imagination I’ll say that.

This from the person who states Trump is still the President, Joe Biden has never been in the White House, Biden is actually a body double, an alien race called the Galactics is providing us a Quantum Financial System, that it nowhere in the Constitution says the President's term ends on January 20th, if you read/quote the Constitution you are a communist and a Biden supporter, Amendments are not part of the Constitution, Trump would "soon" (now more than a year and counting) activate the EBS (which hasn't existed in nearly 20 years) to let us know that he had imposed martial law and that the military was running the country, etc, etc, etc.

Trollin', trollin', trollin'...

It was interesting that a few hours after CNN-MSNBC-FOX reporters wondered why there were no sirens, the sirens started sounding - but still no clear footage of any attack.

Sirens began telling people there was now martial Law .....then those that came later were air raid warning sirens.
