Well duh
Letting the State Department thing go for a moment...
A week or so back there was chatter that Ukraine at the last moment might cede the formerly Polish portions of Ukraine back to Poland. That would put that portion of Ukraine immediately under NATO Article V protection as being part of Poland.
It would also give the Ukrainian people a place to flee to that could be thought of as ‘theirs’ and not Russian.
Right now with nothing much surprising me this would not surprise me.
“If he goes right up to the Polish border, which I don’t think he will...”
Russian attacks have already taken place in close proximity to the Polish border.
“...how is that different than NATO going right up to the Russian border?”
NATO is right up on Russia at Poland, Latvia, Lithuania, and Estonia. What’s different is we’re not killing anyone. Russia is.
western europe is already a vassal state to russia ever since it went “green” and shut down its nuke and coal plants and imported 75% [according to Trump] of their energy from russia ... russia has already won its war with western europe without firing a shot ...
makes zero sense for the U.S. to involve itself in yet ANOTHER European war that those idiots brought upon themselves in the first place ... they can freeze in the dark while they shake their fists in defiance at putin ...
in the mean time, Dementia Joe gets to claim that bidenflation and all the rest of the economic destruction he deliberately fostered in the U.S. is putin’s fault ...
so, western europe gets to reduce its carbon footprint, putin can grab as many former soviet provinces as he wants without fear of NATO intervention,and dementia joe gets an excuse for killing the American economy ...
i think that’s what they call one o’ them thar win-win-win sitsheashuns ...
