“In less than 24 hours part of Ukraine becomes part of Russia..”

No, it doesn’t. Saying something does not make it so.

As far as I’m concerned, the people voted overwhelmingly to become part of Russia, and Russia is in agreement. That makes them Russians and their homeland part of Russia. nato can try and take it back, but there is no undoing it.

It’s the Necromonger way.

You keep what you kill.

I keep feeling like it’s August 1914.

I’ve been reading a lot about the outbreak of war at that
time and the normalcy bias is so similar.
The “short war” illusion seems to suck everyone right in.

It doesn’t what you, Joe Biden or the UN think. It’s how Putin perceives the referendum.

You can declare that a three legged dog is a cat. You can do that every morning, noon, and night for months.

And it will still be a three legged dog.

You are right. Mere words don’t matter. It’s the preference of the people and RF armed forces that make it so. That’s just “real politik”

“Saying something does not make it so.”

Taking it through the barrel of a gun DOES.

Possession makes it so.

Lenin took part of Russia and made it part of Ukraine and Khrushchev took Crimea part of Russia and made it part of Ukraine, now Putin is taking parts of Ukraine and making them parts of Russia again.

Now none of these places is part the US so I do not know why we are being asked to spend our grandchildren’s money on weponds for these places even if Mumbling Joe Biden is getting a big kick back and trying to start WWIII.
