Is the United States Starting WWIII?

Conservative Daily Briefing ^ | March 12, 2022 | Ken Crow

[Ouderkirk]

It’s not the USA starting WW3...it’s the democRATS.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

The author totally ignores the war in the Donbass that Russia provoked, funds, has participated in, and continues to this day.

And you totally ignore the CIA color revolution of 2014 that deposed the democratically elected President of Ukraine and replaced him with a CIA/Soros stooge.

[freeandfreezing]

All Putin wanted was a neutral Ukraine...

If that is what he wanted then he is the dumbest person on earth. There were many things he could have done to ensure Ukraine either stayed neutral or was an ally. Seizing parts of Ukraine in 2014 was not a decision that any sane person would think would lead Ukraine to become neutral or more of an ally.

[piasa]

Tell that to Ukrainians, they will think you lost your marbles. The Cold War was WW3. The Russians are just continuing it, with Biden’s help.

[Salman]

They were willing to burn the country down to win an election, now they will burn the world down to get money and power.

Hitler said "rule or ruin", but the Democrats slogan could be "rule AND ruin".

They seek absolute power over a smouldering ruin. Step one is create the ruin.

[freeandfreezing]

And you totally ignore the CIA color revolution of 2014 that deposed the democratically elected President of Ukraine and replaced him with a CIA/Soros stooge.

Not at all. You characterize the events of the time like a typical Russian propagandist. The people of Ukraine rose up against a Russian stooge president in a country where election fraud by the government was rampant. Yanukovych lost the repeat of the run off election, so in reality he was "deposed" by the voters.

The Supreme Court of Ukraine ruled that a second election was necessary. That seems like a legal process most people would support, and I doubt there are many people on Free Republic who would be upset if our Supreme Court ruled that an election needed to be re-run due to fraud. Would you have had a problem with the Supreme Court ruling that our last presidential election needed to be re-run if the alleged fraud had been proven?

[Secret Agent Man]

Why does Russia, which is still socialist with a small twist of capitalism, have this automatic power to demand Ukraine not join NATO?

Why does the world just default have to accept they just have this level of control over a separate country?

Why is invasion and war against them regarded as their right to do?

[piasa]

Just pointing out that our country is invaded at the southern border precisely because of Russia’s perpetual support of communist regimes and narco terror groups in the Caribbean, Central and South America.

[grey_whiskers]

Nazi Pelousy and Liddle Adam Schitt, too, apparently.

[cld51860]

That’s exactly why it’s being done to us.

Finish us off.

[pierrem15]

Putin invades Ukraine for the second time, is forced to withdraw from around Kiev and north of Kiev, and is now throwing what he has left at the Donbas and has advanced a few kilometers. But Putin is showing "restraint," and the US and NATO are to blame.

Utterly ridiculous.

[alexander_busek]

Putin kept saying, “don’t do it; we need a buffer between the Motherland and all of the NATO rockets and fighter jets.”

And Ukraine in response: "MYOB!"

If Russia won't listen to Ukraine, and not, e.g., invade Georgia or other neighboring countries, then Ukraine is under no obligation to listen to Russia.

Ukraine is a sovereign state and has the generally established right to conclude treaties with whomever it wishes - including NATO - without consulting Russia.

As Ukraine garners more and more sympathy from nations across the globe, more and more aid will flow into the Baltic country from around the world.

No kidding?! The author of this peace wrote this?!

FAIL!

[alexander_busek]

The author totally ignores the war in the Donbass that Russia provoked, funds, has participated in, and continues to this day.

Not to mention the Crimea!

[alexander_busek]

The Russians aren’t justified, but that doesn’t mean that they don’t have a point.

"There, there, Mr. Putin! You have a point! Nobody's denying that! No run along like a good little boy! You have no further say in this!"

[steve86]

“the Crimea”

Like “The Ohio State University”, I guess. Complete with royal article.

“the Crimea” Like “The Ohio State University”, I guess. Complete with royal article.

You got a problem with that? Why so passive-aggressive? There is a long literary tradition of referring to it as "the Crimea." And I'm slowly weaning myself off of the definite article in reference to "Ukraine," itself.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Ukraine is the criminal enterprise wonderland for the Soros, Bidens, Romneys, etc. The Ukraine people are at their mercy.

[Jim Noble]

f Russia won't listen to Ukraine, and not, e.g., invade Georgia or other neighboring countries, then Ukraine is under no obligation to listen to Russia.

If you are at a crosswalk with a "stop for pedestrians" sign, and a truck is bearing down at 50 mph in a 25 mph zone, you have every right to step off the curb.

If you are in lower NY bay in your sailboat on the starboard tack, and your course takes you in front of the Queen Mary II, you have every right not to yield.

[Jane Long]

Great cartoon.
