Vanity: Why are there no protests in Europe and elsewhere against the Russian invasion of Ukraine?

Seems quiet out there. Russia invades a country one door down from the EU and crickets from the left. No cries of killing Putin and his family, no signs, No human shields....nothing.

So, you think the U.S. military would leave Hawaii if a mob of native Hawaiians stormed and occupied some govt buildings in Oahu and demanded it?

REALLY???

And Russia will soon be an even BIGGER producer of oil and natural gas once the untapped oil and natural gas fields in eastern Siberia come online in the next 20 years. As such, Russia could wield even more control of the European economy--unless they can really crank up oil and natural production in the North Sea and off the coast of Norway.

Lol...well done!

Don’t forget Obama was born in Hawaii. He liked to keep the White House toasty warm.

OK, I'll wax poetic. I think we are looking at concerned but potentially terrifying dichotomy setting up. Putin has Barry by the balls. Vlad knows that Barry and his minions are no more a threat to him than persistent yipping Yorkies, desperately snapping at his heels.(apologies to small breed owners). Wait until the rest of the modern day dictatorships decide that Vlad shouldn't be the only one having fun with the completely neutered, once mighty USA. The Chinese, North Koreans, Iran will all want in.

The other side of the equation is that the rest of the so called civilized world just realized that the same USA, usually dependable, will not be bailing anyone out of this or saving anyone’s bacon . The Iron Fist and dictators are laughing their butts off, almost pitying Barry and his testicle impaired, clueless pack of miscreants.

May we all live in interesting times. The world is on it's own. Bad Barry has checked out.

[onedoug]

Yes sir.

[cripplecreek]

True enough, China is the threat that shouldn’t be ignored.

[Vaduz]

BINGO

[montag813]

Why should anyone protest Putin defending Russian naval security?

No, if you look closely, you will see that’s not what I said. I just said it doesn’t make the radicals but they’re not going to get what they want.

The anti-war movement is a fraud, often instigated by Communists. That was the case in WWII (CPUSA members protesting against going to war against Hitler), Korea, Vietnam, Iraq...
