Would someone please translate the reason this action? Thanks.
One lousy economy (and getting lousier) sanctioning another.
Question for Bidet: How are you not oppressing your citizens more than Putin oppresses his?
President Retard is upset the invasion didn’t begin when he ordered 🤪
Biden is shit and the world is his fan.
Theatre.
Just been chatting with a close friend who is Ukranian.
It seems like what has happened is this.
There are two “breakaway” regions in Ukraine - Donetsk and Luhansk.
There have been warring factions in these two regions since at least 2014. Right now the lines of demarcation are roughly right down the middle as far as boots on the ground go.
Putin today said he was going to recognize the lines of demarcation **as they currently exist**.
This turns out to be a move towards **de-escalation**. Had he said he would recognize the regions according to their original borders that would have favored **escalation**. But he did not do that.
Now the sanctions that appear to be announced here are not the “doomsday” sanctions - they are more like “slap on the wrist” sanctions.
So it looks to me (and my friend) that a deal was cut and that the world has stepped back from the precipice.
Mo’ song and dance shuffle from our Zombie in charge. Putin and Xi are getting some hearty laughs.
Fake Doc Jill pulls sad sack Joe’s strings. Same as Woodrow Wilson’s wife in the last 3 years of his sht-fake Deomocrap invade the world Presidency.
So he got what he wants and he STILL imposes sanctions.
This was an internal succession movement. What business is it of the US to get involved?
As I understand it, most of the people in the Luhansk and Donetsk regions would rather be a part of Russia than be a part of Ukraine. If that’s true, let them.
Here’s another fine mess you’ve gotten us into.
If Bidim really wanted to defuse,all he had to say is that the Ukraine would never be allowed into NATO.
Oh, and lift all re4striction o importing Russian ammo. You know, the carrot part...
There’s nothing stopping Putin now; he has nothing to lose.
Guess Bidet didn’t get his 10%. But don’t worry. They’ll likely get all the financing they need from Uncle Xi.
Ooohhhh, Putin’s shaking.
Does that include any business dealings of Hunter Biden?
And these sanctions serve what purpose against a band of separatists that control most all of both the Luhansk and Donetsk regions. These regions have already succeeded from Kieve governance and have been allied with the Kremlin for years! Putin is formally recognizing these regions as autonomous and telling the world he plans on accepting them into the Russian federation.
Luhansk and Donetsk regions do this by their own voluntary act Putin is making sure they break away without interference.
Are these separatists violating Ukraine sovereignty and constitution by their intended succession? Probably, but so what? Not our problem, it’s Kiev’s problem.
So... just how is the separatists regions of south-eastern Ukraine any of the worlds business, let alone that American’s couldn’t care less that pro-Russian regions of Ukraine want independence so they can freely join the Russian federation.
Bumbling Biden is a fool. It’s his flailing efforts to shore up his tanked polling numbers.
Stay clear of the shift in Ukraine borders and internal strife. It’s none of our damned business.
So nothing to punish Russia, only sanctions that force those regions into economic dependence on Russia.
Sounds like the fix was in.
