The only thing being escalated here is the incessant rhetoric of the war-mongers and Biden sycophants. Putin had no choice here, if Ukraine was accepted into NATO then it would have been the same scenario as the Cuban Missile crisis. Hi-tech weaponry right in Russia’s back yard.

No world leader would have tolerated that.

Seems to me somebody doesn’t like democracies. Your post is highly misleading.

“The only thing being escalated here is the incessant rhetoric of the war-mongers and Biden sycophants.”

I kind if agreed with that.

“Putin had no choice here, if Ukraine was accepted into NATO then it would have been the same scenario as the Cuban Missile crisis. Hi-tech weaponry right in Russia’s back yard.
No world leader would have tolerated that.

Stupidest thing I ever heard.

And it’s repeated almost verbatim by myriads of you morons.

Dear God, there are already NATO countries on Russia’s border, and the only country that has actually threatening weaponry... are the Russkies with their nukes stationed on the border!

Quit repeating this cynical fake BS from Russia about why they had to invade.

Ukraine was never getting into NATO. The hurdles it needed to jump on anti corruption measures alone would make that impossible for years.

I understand the argument…but scratching the surface, just a little, tells you this isn’t really about that.

The news stations reporting this war are about 80% full of shite.

That is just kindergarten logic. If he takes Ukraine he is bang up against NATO. You have to be incredibly naive to believe that propaganda.

Putin had a choice. He could have stopped at the two territories that were predominantly russian (like he did in Crimea). Putin is NOT a good guy. Just because we have a corrupt gov’t doesn’t mean he’s an angel. It’s possible both are terrible so trying to back one over the other is just stupid.

Let’s be intellectually honest here. Putin is not a good guy and he has overreached. he has choices. And the West has behaved poorly too. But two wrongs never make it right.

Can’t argue with that. Clearly NOTHING can be trusted and there’s a whole let of push to try to make it seem that Russia is losing...yet one can here gunfire on the live feeds in Kiev.

Considering that we nearly started WW3 when Soviet missiles showed up on our doorstep (Cuba), it doesn’t take much imagination to understand why Putin isn’t too hot on Ukraine joining NATO.

“Putin had no choice here, “

Oh bull$hit. Exactly like saying Hitler had no choice to go into Poland.
Quit cheerleading this dirtbag.

Ukraine could never have joined NATO. They would have needed all 30 members to accept them, and Ukraine could not have territorial disputes. Putin is lying and no one with any knowledge believes him. If Russia annexes Ukraine, man more NATO countries will be on its borders.

No world leader would have tolerated that.

Except for Biden, Obama, and Carter.
