Someone has to defend the rights of the Ukie oligarchs [safe behind the lines, back in Kiev] to milk the US for more tax dollars...
———-
…and ten percent to Senile Joe and his demoncrats. People are starting to wake up.
Last night at the polls, I heard one mention Trump asked for $25 billion to secure our border, they went nuts….BUT Senile Joe and gang hands over $80 billion to the corrupted Ukies to secure their borders!

All armies use mines to guard against assaults by enemy soldiers. Only evil nations like Russia use mines to kill civilians returning to their homes.

"So, in your discussions of the nuclear freeze proposals, I urge you to beware the temptation of pride—the temptation of blithely declaring yourselves above it all and label both sides equally at fault, to ignore the facts of history and the aggressive impulses of an evil empire, to simply call the arms race a giant misunderstanding and thereby remove yourself from the struggle between right and wrong and good and evil." --Ronald Reagan

Ukraine eventually joining NATO and the EU is inevitable. If Russia doesn’t like it then they can go perform an unnatural act with their mothers.

Pull up a history, basic. Ukraine was repeatedly denied entry into the EU and NATO since their statehood in 1991. Ever wonder why? Many reasons.

Same day; Putin holds a 5hr meeting with Lukashenko.

British Daily Mail: Russians not making any progress.

I’d use a lot worse than land mines to keep the Russians from murdering and raping their way across this country.

Ukraine has never been denied entry to NATO, pizdobol.

Ukraine started the process of conforming to NATO standards in 2008 and that process was stopped by the corrupt Putin toady Yanukovych in 2010. Then your corrupt Russian government invaded Ukraine in 2014 and has been at war ever since.

So shove your lies where the sun doesn’t shine.

Just one many articles explaining why Ukraine has not joined NATO since their statehood in 1991. Please do your research.

“ Why is Ukraine not in Nato?

Nato first floated the idea of Ukrainian and Georgian membership in 2008 under pressure from American President George W. Bush.

However, France and Germany opposed - unanimous consent is required for any nations wishing to join Nato.…..”

You would do well to research why Ukraine was never admitted to the EU also, many reasons, first would be they are the most corrupted nation in Europe, secondly their country is mired in poverty, the poorest, the EU doesn’t need an economic basket case.

“ Ukraine should have been a prosperous, middle-income country by now. Instead, it is one of the poorest in Europe. Ukrainians are only slightly richer than Moldovans…..
Today, Ukraine’s economy is still dominated by a limited circle of oligarchs working in collaboration with the ruling establishment. The economy is riddled by inefficiency and corruption. State enterprises continue to drain the national budget to the enrichment of its controlling interests. Monopolistic practices persist in many sectors and competition is suppressed.
Regulatory bodies make pricing decisions based on the needs of dominant business interests. Land reform is blocked to provide advantages to agricultural magnates. Even the military budget is raided through corrupt procurement practices.
Banking reform and closure was accompanied by massive expropriation of government funds by private bank owners. All of this corruption and mismanagement was met with little resistance and opposition by the diaspor…..”

You would do well to research this current regional dispute, and make decisions not by western MSM or because senile Joe says so.

Ukraine has NEVER APPLIED for NATO membership and could not have been denied. They were in the process of integration...something that both Finland and Sweden have already done. But Ukraine has yet to apply.

So stop with the lies.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ukraine%E2%80%93NATO_relations

Relations between Ukraine and the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) started in 1992.[1] Ukraine applied to integrate with a NATO Membership Action Plan (MAP) in 2008.[2][3] Plans for NATO membership were shelved by Ukraine following the 2010 presidential election in which Viktor Yanukovych, who preferred to keep the country non-aligned, was elected President.[4][5] Amid the Euromaidan unrest, Yanukovych fled Ukraine in February 2014.[6] The interim Yatseniuk Government which came to power initially said, with reference to the country’s non-aligned status, that it had no plans to join NATO.[7] However, following the Russian military invasion in Ukraine and parliamentary elections in October 2014, the new government made joining NATO a priority.[8] On 21 February 2019, the Constitution of Ukraine was amended, the norms on the strategic course of Ukraine for membership in the European Union and NATO are enshrined in the preamble of the Basic Law, three articles and transitional provisions.[9][10]

At the June 2021 Brussels summit, NATO leaders reiterated the decision taken at the 2008 Bucharest summit that Ukraine would become a member of the Alliance with the MAP as an integral part of the process and Ukraine’s right to determine its future and foreign policy, of course without outside interference.[11] NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg also stressed that Russia will not be able to veto Ukraine’s accession to NATO “as we will not return to the era of spheres of interest, when large countries decide what smaller ones should do.”[12]

Before further actions on NATO membership were taken Ukraine was invaded by Russia on 24 February 2022.
