There is definitely a fifth column on the right that fuels Putin and our other enemies. He saw a weakn and dived west and decided to make his move to destroy Ukraine. Now our allies, too, like Poland see U. S. weakness and demand additional guarantees on weapons transfers to Ukraine.

The fact is the CCP has more of a legitimate claim to Taiwan than Muscovy does to Kyiv. The CCP sees now they can “accidentally” sink a carrier and a weak U.S. won’t do a thing about it. Weakness breeds aggression. We pay for that in American blood and economically with a lower standard of living.

We promised Russia we would not expand NATO when the Soviet Union fell.

Let me rephrase that for you:

After the implosion of the Warsaw Pact and the Soviet Union, some Western politicians made a totally unnecessary concession by making a non-binding verbal promise - functionally equivalent to a flippant, off-the-cuff remark - to not expand NATO.

Why should anyone in the West have knelt down beside the still-twitching body of the moribund Soviet Union and made any such unnecessary "promise," I ask you?

Regards,

Please re-read the first paragraph

The first paragraph puts President Trump in a great position, great leader, patriot, genius, yeah he eats Big Macs and bloviates, but we all know that is correct.

The author clearly doesn't "hate" President Trump.

You are too sensitive.

Good morning to everyone except the POS Republican and Democrat politicians who are about to fork over $14 billion to Ukraine without blinking an eye.

The same people who wouldn’t give Trump one red cent for the southern border wall to protect our own country.

This guy is quite confused. Putin had Hillary are the ones that off the opposition. Trump and Putin are not deep state so that is why they are under attack. Nato and Un are deep state. Ukraine is between Asia and Europe and a center for crime like human traffic, drugs, smuggling... Putin is a thug but no wonder he has issues with Ukraine. I wonder if the author of the article is deep state.

I agree with you about the name calling. I can do better in that regard. Keep it to my points. I guess I have been frustrated by all the people calling me a Putinista, which is a baseless claim.

I simply want to concentrate on our collapsing country, not on two corrupt kleptocracies.

There was never any signed agreement, just an alleged verbal understanding.

Excellent summarization, Greetings_Puny_Humans!

Seriously: Why are so many FReepers coming out of the woodwork, in defense of Russia? Saying not only that we shouldn't "get involved" (a position I could respect), but also claiming that Russia has a legitimate gripe?

I am astonished and not a little puzzled by this!

Regards,

Because some here don’t believe we should be involved in a war in the Ukraine, ask questions to what should be the US involvement, how we got to this point, and having a person (party) in the the WH that lies with its media cheerleaders (many of whom opposed Reagan taking on the USSR as unstable, shouldn’t be near the nuclear button blah blah blah) and now is the big anti-Russia, strong US defense party who talks about how their environmentalism can be advanced during this war ... does not make those FReepers Putin lovers, sympathizers, apologists, useful idiots, etc. Oh there are some of those around here, mostly because they hate Xiden and what the demonkraps have done and are doing to this country, and are too emotionaly wound up to either prefer Putin over Xiden, or write like they are.

I have read all your comments here (up to the point that I am typing this). So in your opinion, with Xiden in the WH, what do you propose that the US do with the situation in the Ukraine?

Our fake president is up to his black eyeballs in Ukrainian corruption. One of our imports from Ukraine attempted to deliver the goods for impeachment of President Trump. Putin is a known…. History tells, do not poke the bear unprepared..

Mac, at this point, with the whole Jewish organizations in Ukraine condemning Russia, with a Jewish President, with Jews on the front lines fighting Russia, no one takes this BS from you people seriously.

Yes, there are bad people in Ukraine. Just like there are Nazis here in the USA, which I suspect includes a large number of Putinists on this forum who parrot the Pro-Russian propaganda that is not just spread by Russian trolls, but by Nazi websites like The Daily Stormer, Stormfront, etc.

Maybe you should turn your energy to dealing with the documented Nazi ideology of the Russian ‘separatist’ leaders, who have even taken photographs of themselves with Swastikas, and who have written and managed Nazi magazines.
