Add Wikipedia to the long list of information Trumpers won’t look at
If you went to Trump’s Wikipedia page would you agree with any of it?Wikipedia is good for some things, not for biographies of controversial people.

Poland, at least part, was part of Soviet Union. They are strategic location and NATO supported.
Ukraine is easy, no NATO, Georgia may be next, Gorbachev old home, then Poland. Putin has constant interaction with Poland, and like Hitler used, they are Russian people we must save.
But like I said, where is the line, likely not much time. China and Taiwan will come forward soon, then Putin is embolden.
A strategy will be hard. I really think trump hurt relationships, Obama's people were way to naive. Who is the next Nixon, or Reagan? Certainly the dems have no one.
Poles are not Russian people. Never were.

I suppose the argument is going to be that Biden couldn’t un-do all the damage that the prior administration did, no matter how hard he tried.

And settle down. Most people agree with you. Not sure what you are so worked up, no one else is listening to me. The west is ready to let Putin roll over a republic
Our President isn't listening to you.
Our President is ready to let Putin roll over a republic.
All he's done is predict war and threaten sanctions -- nothing more. He hasn't rallied any European leaders, He hasn't bullied the German Chancellor into action. He's treated the President of Ukraine like a crapstain. He sent his VP to Munich (of all places) so she could wear a mask and jibberjabber. His Secretary of State went to the UN and didn't get anything accomplished. It sure is easy to predict war when do you don't do anything to prevent it.
And before you go to your standard: "why are you attacking Biden" routine, note that Putin is one of the worst scum on the planet. Biden was elected to stand up to Russia -- because he's not a Putin Puppet. And he's done jack squat to live up to anyone's expectations. Why CAN'T someone question his decisions and mishandling of this situation? It's still a free country here, right?

I'm glad to hear you are not advocating military intervention. I may be wrong, but it seems @Tiberius and @BillStime are pretty hip on the idea.
One of them is hip to the idea because he thinks it will make Biden look better.The other one is hip to the idea because he thinks it will make Trump look worse.
For both, this is purely about domestic politics in November.

Now: Putin is moving into the second phase of that theory in action. Eastern Ukraine (we're not sure how much yet) is now considered historically and culturally "Russia" and he intends to annex it under Russian law. Of course, if Ukraine resists with military force, he'll have his casus belli and may use that to overthrow the entire Ukrainian government by force.
Ukraine should agree to this only if there's an international peacekeeping force stationed in those provinces to ensure that they're not annexed as Russian territory.

It doesn't bother me that money is being spent to prevent a war. You are just a complainer.
But you are ok
You know, you’re right.Unfettered capitalism is the best way to go.
That is TWO things we agree on.
And I am ok.
So that’s THREE things we agree on.
What a big day for you!

Not agreeing with your little crying over someone making money over the deal. Boo hoo
Someone’s making money.That was my original point.
1 hour ago, snafu said:War makes people a lot of money. Even when there’s no war.
Someone is making money and there is no war.
You and I agree.It doesn’t look like you can cope with that.

Okaying the deal
So you agree with me.
Wasn’t so difficult, was it? -

Well, sit there and be upset, Poland is getting tanks.
Good job USA!
Damn, it's almost like Putin is not involved. So if Biden stops a war, its all just his fault for stopping it and he is bad.
You people
“Good job USA”?
What does the government have to do with a private company selling tanks to Poland, other than okaying the deal? -
Just now, Tiberius said:
Why are you pro-gun?
Is it, in part, because it is a deterrence?
So your point, I say, is pretty hollow and stupid.
I don’t own a gun.
The Russians aren’t too “deterred” it seems.
Un-built tanks which are not in Poland isn’t going to be the reason why Putin goes home from the border of Ukraine. A military build up on or near his border is the actual reason why he’s doing what he’s doing. So let’s sell more.

but yes it’s looking a lot more like political theater serving to benefit multiple international leaders, namely Biden and Putin, with their respective constituencies’ approval.
Someone once said that US foreign policy is simply our domestic policy abroad.
8 hours ago, ComradeKayAdams said:All of Putin’s aggressive military posturing strikes me as his own unique style of diplomacy. Is he trying to rebuild the Slavic empire from the glory days of the Soviet Union, with the invasion of Ukraine as the first key step? Very doubtful. Way too costly, IMO.
The only reason I can see why Putin would want to invade Ukraine is to make sure that NATO doesn't belly up to Russian borders. That's not a good enough reason. The benefit isn't high enough for him to lose his natural gas sales. I bet he was waiting for the German Chancellor tell him directly that Nordstream 2 would die if he invades. I really think that Putin finally put himself in a tough situation and is going to come out of this a loser either way.

Ukraine. The End Game
in Politics, Polls, and Pundits

Putin screwed himself. His bluff got called. It is messy and people are losing their lives. I’m sure this is exactly what Putin didn’t want. Especially since it seems that he miscalculated the amount of opposition Ukraine would put up. He’s going to have to escalate a lot and it will just have the opposite effect of what he was looking for. Or he’s going to have to settle for E. Ukraine and a more resolute NATO (at best). And if he thinks Europe isn’t already considering energy alternatives, he’s a fool.
Bad move, Putin. Too bad the people of Ukraine have to suffer for it.
