PUCK FUTIN.
There are no NATO bases in the Ukraine nor anything like IRBMs, theater nukes, tactical nukes or whatever. The negotiations on that were and are in the future. In 1961 the actual missiles were deployed, as were our Jupiter-C IRBMs in Turkey.
The Russian Federation simply has no right to engage in pre-emptive warfare on the European Continent because of what might come to pass.
World War I started over far less.
The world doesnt need a goddamn nuclear war because of a stupid regional squabble.
Bwahahahaha, desperate Putin ball washers think he is the answer to everything.
They want China to take Taiwan and desperately want Russia to take Ukraine to humiliate America.
Disgusting commie lovers, go suck a Cuban missils
“Just as Kennedy could not accept missiles in Cuba from the ex Soviet Union, so Putin cannot accept missiles (and NATO bases) in the Ukraine from the United States. It’s the same exact thing.”
Someone came up with that idiocy, and I hear it every day.
No it is not the same thing. Russia going half way around the world, across the ocean, and placing missiles in Cuba (or Mexico) is a manifestly offensive, predatory act of war, while having Ukraine join NATO is a defensive act.
And as for NATO, yesterday one of those EU head hogs congratulated Europe for coming together against Russia, not because of NATO, but because of “the union.”
NATO now is only sucker bait to have the United States bear the cost of defending Europe.
And having Ukraine in NATO is one concept; placing American missiles in Ukraine is another. And, in today’s world, with advanced technology, with missiles in other European countries, having missiles in Ukraine is not all that vital.
You could lighten up on your vocabulary usage. Sheesh you give yourself away so easily.
I’m missing the part where Israel is involved in all of this...
This is Buffoonery...
.......”The Russian Federation simply has no right to engage in pre-emptive warfare on the European Continent because of what might come to pass”......
Well the world said the same thing when we went to war with Iraq because of potential mass destruction chemicals.....in what “might have come to pass”.....
The millions of Christians in The Soviet Union that were killed, tortured, and imprisoned over the next 70 years must have taken great comfort in that, knowing they were part of the "The Lord's work". /sarc
Keep in mind, you and I are paying for Russia to invade its neighbors and the Biden administration says it has no plans to stop doing so. So while we may say we are supporting Ukraine, our actions say we support Putin.
This is Freerepublic. It's become a caricature of itself what with the infusion of libertarian trash, trolls, etc.
“There are no NATO bases in the Ukraine nor anything like IRBMs, theater nukes, tactical nukes or whatever. The negotiations on that were and are in the future. In 1961 the actual missiles were deployed, as were our Jupiter-C IRBMs in Turkey.”
This is well stated.
Ukraine and Cuba cannot be compared. Russia already occupied parts of Ukraine in 2014 with the Russian separatist forces in Donbas and Lunhansk. The current war started when Obama was president, and pause while Trump was president. Cuba crisis should not be use as justification of the invasion.
It is all about money. If there was no Nato Russia would have invaded many years ago.
The best solution for the US until the rest of the world gets their act together, is to clean our own house.
Secure our borders
Rebuild our military
Rebuild our Nuclear Forces
Start producing our own energy supplies
Bring back critical manufacturing to USA
But as we proved in the Balkanks, NATO can go into countries where they aren’t even members.
Review
This is not about Ukraine joining NATO. This is about Putin grabbing more energy in the name of expanding Russia. A large natural gas field has been discovered off the Crimean coast and in Ukraine proper. The riskiest want it.
Riskiest = Ruskies.
Now Putin the KGB thug is an instrument of God, eh?
This has gone to depths beyond absurd.
Ahhh...there is a bit of “unfiltered news”....discovery of oil and gas fields in the disputed area.
Oligarchs are rubbing their hands in anticipation.
NATO is a failed organization just like Russia.
