How many will they leave behind? Do intelligence assets have to go to a web site monitored by the enemy to sign up for a safe exit? You know, just saying.....

You’d think Biden would be sending test swabs and N95 masks. With any good luck for America he would also send Fauci to personally oversee the operation.

One thing I loved about Donald Trump was that he refused to start useless wars. He counted the cost.

Biden won’t do that.

Biden won’t do that.

Let me try to understand something here. Do you folks actually think Biden is provoking Putin into war by not doing what he wants? The orcs and goblins of Russia are demanding the full withdrawal of NATO from all countries that joined the alliance after 1997. It's not just Ukraine.

Should Biden just say "yes" and leave Poland--which Russia has threatened with annihilation in previous years--Bulgaria, Romani, etc., to their fate?

Why? Because a few clowns on this website think that just because Putin gives speeches saying how much he hates the gays, somehow he is a Conservative Nationalist despite aiding and abetting North Korea, Cuba, Iran, etc.?

Or maybe the argument is that Biden is starting this war because he is a giant pussy and is not doing anything that could credibly counter the threat?

If that's your position, I agree! But I have a feeling it's the former.

This is precisely what happens when Satan's children seize full control, power, and authority of the United States.

One has another thing coming if one expects success and prosperity for this Nation.

Get to Church and get right with God, folks.

Even more senseless murder, destruction, and mayhem are on the agenda with these vile creatures "in charge" of everything.

Great words. And true.
But we are not going to be able to do anything. Germany just cut us off and we don’t have a way to get to the theater.
If we go in, it goes nuclear and we are done.
Put in is a d bag. But we just lost two wars, have a woke military, and can’t get logistics inside our continent to work let alone in Eurasia.

Not to mention China is gearing up to move.

Putin is in the Power Position with Mohammed Obola and the Pudding Cup Pedophile. Note Putin is grinning in both like a cat who just ate a canary (indicating he knows secrets on both imbeciles).

Remember, the Power Pose is always in the person whose wrist is facing away and upwards from the camera. The lesser person has his wrist exposed and downward in the 2 photos.

Russia has probably informed Biden that if the US tries to stop them, they or an ally will release something worse than covid. Covid was just a blackmail weapon, like leaving a horsehead in the President’s bed or a fish on the doorstep. So the US can’t threaten nukes if Americans haven’t been vaxxed for what the blackmailers are believed to really have in store. Just a theory. Years ago just after the anthrax attacks, it was said that we suspected what country did it but weren’t ready to do anything about it yet. So they came up with the mad scientist theory and blamed it on a deceased domestic scientist at Ft Detrich, while simultaneously sending a foreign Iraqi scientist who worked at Ft Deterich (with an expat Russian scientist a few doors away in the same lab), to jail for consecutive life terms on something much less interesting, seemingly unrelated charge relating to young wanna be terrorists practicing with paintball guns. But then, that scientist with the Iraqi parentage, Ali A Timimi, hasnt been heard from since and the press has no interest in chatting with him, even though he has the longest sentence of any terrorist, which is weird since so many have been much worse that what accusations were thrown at him, and yet they got much lighter sentences.
