President Trump is on with Stuart Varney right now. He is calling for the United States to do much more militarily. He is completely clear about that.
It’s simple, the “do-nothing,Putin is justified,it’s all about Soros” crowd does NOT stand with Trump.
I stand with Trump and we all should.
He was absolutely clear, that Rusdia must be stopped and we must do much more militarily. More than the jets. And that we must not be scared of the nuclear threat.
That is my president.

symbol of Russian frustration that its superior manpower and weaponry have not forced the quick capitulation of the country.
So what was Russia's original plan, for it to be over in one day? Based on what? Who said? Maybe the plan all along was to move slowly and cautiously to avoid civilian casualties. Maybe Ukraine on the other hand want's as many casualties as possible to garner support. Too bad we don't have a single credible source for what is going on. But that is by design, they have full control of the information you are getting. Please keep that in mind.

Biden will do more, once the bribe is big enough.

Putin needs an old-fashioned battle-wagon lobbing 16” shells. Knock down one of those big apartment buildings with a single hit.

Trump's wrong on this, like he was on the vaccines. No one is infallible. But Trump is the best hope for America in the role of POTUS.

I’ll keep in mind what President Trump is saying right now. The total opposite of your propaganda. Move on.

Trump’s wrong? Glad we see your head is in your ass and you’re a Russian propagandist.
I’ll stick with Trump. Get lost.

Move on.
I'll not move on, we have no business being involved with the corruption or war in Ukraine. I don't care what Trump says on this. No more American blood or treasure should be sacrificed for this corrupt shit hole called Ukraine.

So what was Russia's original plan, for it to be over in one day? Based on what? Who said? From the Russian actions on day one it is clear that they were attempting a coup de main against what they thought would be lightly defending Ukrainian forces and that yes, they thought it would be over in a day or two. That they were not able to accomplish this does not mean that they can not win with a more prolonged conventional campaign, but they clearly did not achieve the quick victory that they had anticipated.

No, I just don't let my emotions dictate my decisions.

It's not clear to me.

Based by inference on the otherwise absurd operations of the first three days, and possibly those of the first week and a half or so.
The annihilation of an airborne regiment wasted in fruitless attempts to, without hope of effective relief, to take two airfields near Kiev. Part of this involved flying in to these airfields in AN-26 transports, meaning to land and unload or drop paras. In the face of functioning liw level SAM systems. That coup de main could only have worked against no resistance.
And then there were all these battalion sized columns that just took road trips down country roads from all directions, with no follow-up forces to secure logistics or rear security. Many were ambushed or cut off. Same reasons above, all this could only have worked against no resistance.

Trump kept Putin and the other empire-builders at bay BECAUSE he talked tough and took nothing off the table. If he was President, we wouldn’t be in this mess now.
And a “stalemate”? The Russians have been steadily advancing, moving strategically, and taking more territory regularly. The New York Times couldn’t tell the truth if it wanted to.

Ya, it's a shame they didn't have your military genius. You knew what their game plan was all along and could have saved them if only they had consulted you. We must protect you at all cost, for if you fail into their hands, Russia could conquer the world!
