Ukraine's independence is not vital to the United States. While a desirable goal, it is not worth our fighting a war with Russia to preserve.

Ukraine is not, and has never been an independent country. It was a Soviet State, then a Russian-controlled kleptocracy, which switched to a moderately western kleptocracy, switched back to a Russian one, and after 2014, the CIA and Soros put it back as a US controlled client. We chased out the Russian oligarchs, and sent in our own like Hunter Biden and Chris Kerry.

Ukraine is a strategic tool, and is being used as such.

It looks like Pat Buchanan’s article ( https://freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/4043602/posts ) got appended to the end of this text as if Michael Barone wrote it.

You’ve got followers, looks like:

“On Monday, Biden walked across the White House lawn alone and in a mask. On Tuesday, he walked into a crowd of House members rejoicing that no more masks were needed.”

“This speech is going to be forgotten — if it’s not already forgotten — but the public will still see empty store shelves, high prices and the cost of filling up their cars.”

Last Friday morning, the day after the Russian invasion, I filled up my car at our corner Shell for $3.05. Today, that same station is selling the same grade of gas for $3.58. That’s only up 17.4% in a single week, on top of a 91% increase from Election Day, 2029 (Steal Day?) until last Friday. Every single time I pass a gas station, whether I fill up or not, FJB or just FB comes out of my mouth. I’ll grant that I’m biased against him to begin with, but the degree of just plain and utter phuck-up in his/the Dems’ handling of the entire economy and especially the energy sector (which necessarily impacts ALL other goods) is the stuff of legend. Geez, he’s making Carter look like a so-so President, and that’s saying something. How you folks in CA and other states are dealing with the gas prices, I have no idea - but you have my sincere sympathies.

If Serbia attacks Austria-Hungary, and Austria-Hungary responds, then Russia will attack Austria-Hungary. But then Germany has to war with Russia, so France and Great Britain stand up for Russia. Oh wait, that was another war, never mind.

Ukraine isn’t worth the risk of a huge war, Barone has always been a master of the obvious.

But he hates blue jeans, so he still needs a whippin’.

Soros, Clinton, Obama, and Klaus Schaub all support Zelenskyy.

I stopped reading at “he has a stuttering problem”...no he DOES NOT. So sick of this excuse being used for his dementia. He HAD a stuttering problem as a child. He had no problem spewing away on the Senate floor when he was younger, no stuttering then.

Perhaps Germany and Western Europe in general now realize the reality of their situation.
