It all depends on perspective and the winner will most likely write the history.
Whatever has been game planned will take place in the next few short years because the global players will have to make their moves while this idiot is in charge of the USA.
“Whew! I almost thought we might not get another gratuitous Putin = Hitler comparison.”
I know, that poster is such an astute historian.
And like Trump, he too probably has insiders that hate him. But unlike the GOP, his haters will probably whack him before it comes down to nukes.
People die from cancer surgeries all the time. Just sayin'.....
Rather than shooting the bear with a 22 we should be building a golden bridge for Putin to retreat on...
Ukraine is not a Baltic country.
“People die from cancer surgeries all the time. Just sayin’..... “
True, but the problem isn’t Putin, the problem is the guy filling-in. He is HARD CORE when it comes to military action.
It is an invasion on our southern border, and a very large one at that.
Some 6 million unvetted ‘migrants’ will be pouring into our nation EVERY YEAR, and many of them will be transported by OUR GOVERNMENT all across the country and dropped off in our towns and cities. An absolute disaster.
I can hardly believe what is happening. This cannot continue, or America is finished.
We should just arm the Ukrainians with a few dozen of the W80 warheads in storage then remove ourselves from the conflict. They’re already paid for. It would save thousands of lives, billions of dollars and promote an immediate end to the war.
Imagine an independent Texas. Most Americans, with the thinking of Abraham Lincoln, would see Texans as part of our shared history and culture - and want Texas back in the Union.
Now imagine some politicians in this independent state of Texas, with the help of Mexico and China, promoting the fact that Texas was once part of Mexico. While most residents were happy to live together, this faction agitated on promotion of its hispanic history and origins, sought outlaw Texas anglo origins and to remove English from Texas. They would even create coups and manufacture color revolutions to put the most compliant people in power in Texas.
Mexico and China also then agreed that a strong, independent Texas would keep the USA off-balance, and then decided to create a military alliance and provide weapons to Texas. Chinese troops would train the Texas Army, and might be stationed as far north as Oklahoma
Now you’ll begin to understand how Russia views this situation
Keep in mind that we are also increasing measures against the Chinese Communist Party and Xi.
Russia has ample justification already for targeting American assets. Surprised they haven’t yet.
Joe Biden got Teddy Roosevelt wrong...I think he got confused and thought he meant carry a big mouth instead of a big stick. Biden has a little stick.
I have understood it all along.
The reason Putin didn’t come in with overwhelming force is because it’s like Texas invading Oklahoma. Half the troops have relatives on the other side.
All Putin wanted was a neutral Ukraine, but the globalist psychopaths don’t.
They do think war will save them and Assistant Democrats are lining up to help them.
Plenty of assistant Assistant Democrats right here jumping on the Biden bandwagon to war.
When the Soviet Union and the Eastern Bloc fell NATO essentially lost its purpose (unless you count keeping troops in Germany ... but even that changed as the Germans liked the economic boost that came with US troops) and became a sort of club where everyone on the block could join except for this one guy.
This was guaranteed to eventually cause problems because, for while it wasn’t quite as bullocks as the treaty arrangements that created WW1 it was not far behind.
NATO should have either disbanded or scaled back till a new purpose derived rationally could be found other than preserving vested interests and perks ( ester interest such as when one German high mucky muck said the “peace dividend” shouldn’t include closing any bases in Germany because that would harm their local economies) and becoming a new way to sponge off of the US where over time more and more would belly up to the bar ... except of course for the guys that simply could not join.
So what followed, NATO gradually encircling the Russians, was bound to lead to problems from the Russians.
The Russians aren’t justified, but that doesn’t mean that they don’t have a point.
Sometimes I wonder if the main requirement to be a diplomat is often to have your head shoved completely up you ass. It isn’t just that they preparing to fight the last war, but that in trying to prevent the last war they seem to create the new ones.
I have mixed opinions about this whole Ukraine thing. On the one hand, Ukraine is not a necessary ally of ours in the overall world view.
On the other hand, if Ukraine is simply a stepping-stone to overtake other former U.S.S.R countries then that sounds too much like Hitler and the start of WWII. Hitler first took Czech, then Poland then all of the other ducks fell in a row. If it is in Putin’s mind to do just that then he has to be stopped and it would be justified to kick him where he sits - all the way back to Moscow.
Kinda reminds me of how we acted in Viet Nam
———-
Don’t forget Bosnia, Serbia, Yugoslavia break up…It is clear many here weren’t old enough to follow it, I did, we were Vlad x ten. Bombing China’s embassy, supporting the wrong side, 100,000 total dead, making the current Ukie casualties look like a riot……we still have troops in Bosnia.
Like today, we have the emotional war cheerleaders in our midst following a brain Dead Biden and fake MSM.
Think of Ukraine as Texas.
How would you feel if Texas seceded and became a vassal state of China?
All Putin wanted was a neutral Ukraine, but the totalitarian globalist psychopaths like Soros and the Bidens and the Romneys who use Ukraine as their personal criminal enterprise wonderland wanted to use Ukraine to take Russia out.
This cannot continue, or America is finished.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This has been official US government policy for most of the last 30 years.
It’s been ramped up to make up for lost time during the Trump term.
It’s been completely bipartisan.
EVERY Bush League Republican that supports amnesty KNOWS what they are doing.
The only people who don’t are the fools re-electing them.
Hoeven and Rubio are up in 2022.
They WILL give away our country if re-elected.
They want amnesty done before we can re-elect Trump.
The US isn’t.
Barack Hussein Obama is.
Then he can build his communist utopia.
The author totally ignores the war in the Donbass that Russia provoked, funds, has participated in, and continues to this day.
How is seizing a part of a neighboring country, and launching a war in 2014 "getting along fine"?
