Biden is talking tough about Russia, while buying fuel from them and negotiating with Iran with them.
He’s playing you clowns who can’t think straight.
Unfortunately most GOP politicians are not really on our side and will go to bat for the defense industry before ordinary average Americans.
But it is the Ukrainian's country, and if those people are willing to fight and die to defend it, I think we should give them any support we can short of that.
I don’t trust joe biden even a little bit. I’d rather be led by my hound dog.
I’m surprised they let him come back. Check out this exchange, between the Col and Stu Varney….

What would this clown say if he were alive during the American revolution?
Would you?
The main stooges are the Ukrainian people. CIA Director Williams Burns has said publicly for 25 years, that discussion of Ukraine in NATO was a bright, shiny red-line for Russia - and not just Putin, but for all of Russia's government and for nearly all Russians.
So the US Government / NATO was never going to come to the aid of Ukraine - but it was going to prod, poke and encourage their puppets in Kiev to confront Russia. They have achieved their goal - an isolated Russia, and an EU back on the NATO/US plantation, control of EU energy supplies. A destroyed Ukraine is just an acceptable consequence.
“When the owners fight, their slaves suffer.” - Ukrainian Saying
So said the Brits to American’s back when.
Ukraine is South Central LA, and the USA and Russia are the Crips and the Bloods.
The thing is, most Freepers view Russia as a school yard bully picking on the little guy. Ukraine didn’t bomb Russia, Ukraine was just sitting there minding its own business and Russia invaded. Did they want to join NATO? Sure, they had a bully breathing down their neck.
We will always stand behind the little guy because that’s how we started.
Retired Colonel Doug MacGregor: Surrender monkey urging Ukraine patriots to surrender their county under the theory of Better Red than Dead.
Given that this is such an obvious result, you have to wonder how genuine was Putin's professed concern about NATO expansion threatening Russia itself.
Here's an alternative theory: Putin had decided long ago that he wanted to reconstitute the USSR as much as possible. Invading Ukraine was always on the agenda, and he knew that if he didn't complete that conquest before Ukraine joined NATO, he might not get the chance.
This was never about Russia itself being threatened -- it was always about Russia's desire to expand.

Substitute Imperial Russia for USSR and we agree!
Ukraine will get slaughtered. Unfortunately. But Putin will pay sometime.
Sure. The concept is really the same in that the USSR certainly was driven by Russian (as opposed to just Communist) Imperialism as well.
The argument that Russia felt "threatened" is simply ridiculous. An alliance that Putin knew was unwilling even to defend Ukraine certainly wasn't going to be willing to invade Russia itself.
He just knows that NATO membership acts as a limit on Russian expansionism, and he wants to expand. Simple as that.
In my opinion, this is Russia’s last gasp, either way this probably is the end of Russia as a major power. I base it on the belief that even a “victory” in Ukraine will be the “Mother of all Pyrrhic Victories.”
My question is, who rises to take advantage of it? My money is on Turkey.
“Biden is talking tough about Russia, while buying fuel from them and negotiating with Iran with them.
He’s playing you clowns who can’t think straight.”
Correct.
It is equally important to understand that the Democrats have decimated US oil and energy production while creating massive domestic inflation.
Putin didn’t do that.
My enemy is someone who seeks to harm me.
That is the Democrats, not Putin.
