Democracy’s Fiery Ordeal: The War in Ukraine 🇺🇦

It would be interesting to see a poll on here of whether or not Russia is going to invade. I actually don't think they will. Putin is trying to show that Russia doesn't want a NATO country right on their doorstep, which would open that door to a NATO build up of weapons on the Russian border, just like the build up we don't like on the Russian side of the Ukrainian border. Is that such an unreasonable position for Russia to take?  This is not about democracy or the other crap being batted around on here.

This.  Of course we/the US would want it, but it's no reason at all for us to go to war over.

The vast majority of Americans couldn’t find Ukraine on a map…even with labels!! They wouldn’t know that this large land mass nation would instantly be the most eastern NATO country…and completely obliterate any buffer zone between NATO and Russia. If you were playing Risk you too would be massing your armies on the border. Why is this complicated?

I’m fairly confident that Joe Biden lost every time he played. 

Yes, but in fairness to Biden, you are kind of slow. 

 

Old Joe is speaking softly and carrying a big stick.

KYIV, Ukraine — President Biden is dispatching additional U.S. military personnel to Eastern Europe at the recommendation of the Pentagon, and about 3,000 service members are expected to deploy in the coming days, U.S. officials said Wednesday.

The deployments of U.S. troops from Germany and Fort Bragg, N.C., are temporary moves intended to reassure NATO allies, according to two U.S. officials in Washington who spoke on the condition of anonymity ahead of a formal Pentagon announcement. The moves reflect concerns that Russia is preparing to invade Ukraine, and other service members could also be ordered to go and remain on a heightened alert status, the officials said.

i actually don’t have a problem with what Biden’s trying to do. Unfortunately though I don’t think he has the street cred to pull it off. We’re all going to see.

I don't think this is what Teddy had in mind.  He must be rolling in his grave.
