Vladimir Putin has massed roughly 100,000 troops on Russia’s border with Ukraine and issued a list of unreasonable demands to the United States and NATO.
Last week, President Joe Biden infamously admitted he expects Putin to send troops over the border.
Time is always on the Russian leader’s side.
Putin’s dictatorship has overlapped five American presidents. He reportedly told then-President George W. Bush in 2008, “Ukraine is not even a country. Part of its territory is in Eastern Europe and the greater part was given to us.”
Putin recently deployed forces to Kazakhstan, ostensibly to quell anti-government protests in the former Soviet Republic, and also has troops across ally Belarus for joint military exercises with its brother nation.
There is concern an escalating situation could transform into a World War III, especially if Putin uses Belarus, which borders two NATO members, as a starting block for attacking Ukraine.
a small time window???
Contempt of Brandon.
I guess it’s’cause Zelensky kinda—declared war:
AJ Kaufman cranking out some fine war porn.
Putin is a Russian nationalist and a Pan-Slavist (one who believes in the unification of the Slavic peoples, with of course preference given to Northern Slavs such as Russia).
The Orthodox Church is also involved in this, and the Patriarch of Constantinople and Turkey itself are also involved. Bartolomew is a Friend of Francis, and also a friend of Islam and of the Ukrainian “autocephalous” or “self-headed” Church separate from Moscow.
This is not a good thing and Putin doesn’t like it...in fact, it was probably done to incite him. But he’s been pretty calm and the only one blustering has been BIden. Even the Ukrainians are trying not to get into it, and probably wondering why the heck they paid all that money to buy Hunter and the Big Guy.
Putin is not a nice guy but he’s not a Communist...which is precisely the problem in the eyes of the Dems.
We foment the Ukrainian revolution in 2014 and pushed Ukraine to cutoff Russian access to the Black Sea. We promised the Russians there would be no eastward expansion of NATO in the early 1990s and broke that promise.
We poke the bear, the bear fights back and we blame the bear.
There is big money, though, in demonizing Russia. Our defense industry makes billions off selling weapons by whipping up paranoia about Russia. Biden and other politicians get paid off. But, none of it has anything to do with national security.
A non-woke army staffed with actual generals at a time when we have a senile fool as CIC. It would be the clean, clear smell of opportunity.
Yep
RE: Contempt of Brandon.
Fact!
I think Putin is saber rattling in order to bluff Dimjo into a one-on-one negotiation on Russia’s sovereignty over Ukraine, knowing damn good and well that in any battle of wits he would be facing an unarmed dunce.
My guess is Dimjo would not only give Putin Ukraine but would throw in Alaska to boot.
Admitted? He took a bullhorn and started shouting it. Bu not even the Ukrainians believe it.
Gee, Biden might be lying. Shocking! But, we have idiots that, for some reason, believe lies about this from the same regime they know lies about everything else.
And demographics are clearly not on Russia’s side.
He better move soon. 5 years might be too late.
Is Alphanews another Neocon shill source?
Well, he sees the leader of the free world is a drooling, sputtering, hair sniffing idiot.
He would most likely also use Turkey, who is a NATO member.
Since we were the one thing that brought down his beloved CCCP, he has “a stiff one” for us. He has seen how frail our old men presidents have been. He respected Trump. But now, we Americans have elected a doddering, bumbling, c.d.s. old man. who would be lost inside a brown paper bag.
He has been doing what he could, with his “I’ll show you”.
And, I believe that his generals will, too.
This is no longer Soviet ‘do or be shot’, this is ‘do it for mama’.
“But now, we Americans have elected a doddering, bumbling, c.d.s. old man. “
No, we Americans did not elect him.
Being a KGB dirtbag has something to do with it.
before Trump returns
