An interesting tweet...

I take it the usual suspects are on TV making demands to intervene in this conflict?

yes, CIA shills, every last one of them.

ZERO reason for our involvement. Ukraine doesn’t even have tech we can plunder. Why bother?

When Putin claims that Ukraine is a puppet state of the US, I have a tendency to believe him based upon all of Hunter Biden’s dealings there.

he basically told us fuel prices were going higher here. His sanctions are goin to impact the US family. he just kinda dismissed it as the cost of doing business.

He is sanctioning Americans to punish Russia, on behalf of his Ukrainian paymasters, spending US taxpayer money on his family. The US taxpayer takes it in the shorts twice on this one.

How come no one is screaming that we should resume domestic oil and gas drilling, which would starve Moscow of needed funds as well as reduce costs to American tax payers, reduce inflation, and put people back to work.

Hannity, are you listening?

I think there is a big difference between advocating economic sanctions, and advocating putting U.S. boots on the ground. Both may be called “intervention”, but they are far from the same thing. This is happening right next to Poland, who is a true friend and NATO ally, and I see nothing wrong with opposing this invasion in a way that doesn’t cost U.S. lives.

“Look. Here’s the deal. I was VP when we gave a billion dollars to Ukraine. We own them. My son Beau. Russia cannot just take territory that belongs to someone else. I’m a gaffe machine. Sanctions work. Hey fats, let’s do some pushups.” he said to Putin.

Maybe Biden can send the Taliban more military equipment to show how serious he is about Ukraine?

Of note, the America Last Swamp is also America’s Last Swamp.

There’s a rumor that Trump told Biden to send AOC, Fauxcahontas, and Kamalamadingdong to bray outside the Kremlin 24/7 until Putin begs them to stop.

Republicans demanding Biden does more re: Ukraine are "pathetic servants of the America Last Swamp"

What a great way to put it, I fully agree!

Are any of them talking about the tyranny taking place in Ottawa? Do any of them care about the tyranny in Ottawa? Or are they taking notes on what to do down here?

I don’t want this to escalate but Putin needs to pay the price for invading a country.

Ukraine is the absolute most corrupted nation in Europe. Most Americans do not realize the eastern half is ethnic Russians and tired of the Ukraine corruption. Since 2014 the Donbass and Lughanst regions have been at war with Ukraine crying for independenceā€¦.daily shelling from both sides.
Biden is backing a corrupted nation,( no surprise), Ukraine, no ands, ifs or buts. In the end, Senile Joe will cede those regions under disputeā€¦freedom wins. Putin outsmarts Senile slobbering Joe. Where is Trump when the world needs him?

I’m a hell of a lot more worried about what Trudeau is doing right now than Putin.

All throughout the Cold War America was extremely careful not to directly challenge the Soviet Union and they were equally careful not to directly challenge the US. The few incidents that did take place, like the Cuban Missile Crisis were mistakes due to poor signaling on both parts and could have had shattering consequences. Then we “won” the Cold War and since then the Left in particular has acted as if it was okay to use Russia as a whipping boy...a distraction from domestic issues. So far there haven’t been any serious consequences and there won’t be...unitil there are. Then it will be too late. It used to be both political parties had adults who could separate domestic politics from the world stage. Now both parties feel emboldened by America’s supposed might. But the “peace dividend” eliminated a lot of America’s advantages because it seemed as though we didn’t need a sonobuoys all over the planet and a special division of the military to exclusively handle our nuclear weapons. But we need to act as though Russia is still dangerous because as it gets weaker it gets more desperate to be seen and treated as an “equal.” The new nuclear powered drone submarine with the largest nuclear bomb ever built is not a weapon deployed by a confident power. It’s a doomsday weapon deployed because they feel too weak to keep America at bay.

As far as how to handle the current problems, I have zero confidence in America’s current political class. Because of that I think we should leave it to Europe.

“However much we may sympathize with a small nation confronted by a big and powerful neighbor, we cannot in all circumstances undertake to involve the whole British Empire in war simply on her account. If we have to fight it must be on larger issues than that. I am myself a man of peace to the depths of my soul. Armed conflict between nations is a nightmare to me; but if I were convinced that any nation had made up its mind to dominate the world by fear of its force, I should feel that it must be resisted. Under such a domination life for people who believe in liberty would not be worth living; but war is a fearful thing, and we must be very clear, before we embark upon it, that it is really the great issues that are at stake, and that the call to risk everything in their defense, when all the consequences are weighed, is irresistible.” - Neville Chamberlain 1939
