Actually, the Germans were considered liberators when they entered ukraine. Unfortunately they made a huge blunder when they rounded up all the Jews to kill them. They lost a potent ally.
Fact is, way before this war started, I heard that eastern Ukraine was heavily sympathetic to russia. I don’t know how much of it was true, but then I don’t know how much of all of this stuff we are hearing today about the area is true.
Some months ago I wrote my senator, Rick Scott, and warned that we were drifting towards nuclear war. He replied that Russia was an aggressive bully; I responded that Russia has always been an aggressive bully, why get involved?
He never responded. I am thinking of contacting him again to ask where he plans to shelter his family prior to the exchange (there is one prediction that that will be today!) so that I - and mine - can shelter there also. 😡
People will flee in droves whereever there’s armed conflict. So of course they’ll flee to where there are humanitarian organizations to feed and house them within their home turf or close by, and on land they are most familiar with..... Nothing new about that.
We also herd your same arguements when Crimea had their referendum. So it’s expected for these as well. .....But we also saw the crimeans celebrate in the streets as we are also seeing now by those happy to be a part of Russia one again.....the Donbas since 2014 have long pushed for joining Russia.....
Further we already know two regions declared their independence from Ukraine weeks after Crimea’s annexation in 2014.
Add to this the Ukrainian resistance movement, has killed local officials, bombed polling stations and other government buildings, and helped the Ukrainian military target key infrastructures in those areas trying to vote so of course Russia’s military is going to protect the voters and man the polling stations.
More accurate is to say that a lot of people in Eastern Ukraine were very naive about Russia. They didn’t believe Russia would massacre and enslave them just like that. They thought Russia is their friend.
Then they found out.
Look at the city of Mariupol, which the Russians pulverized. It was 90% “Russian speaking” - the supposed people that Russians claim to have gone to save.
Speculation on my part, but he probably did not respond cause he knows that if sh*t was truly to hit the fan, most of the East Coast, to include Florida, would get wrecked. I have not looked into Rick Scotts stance on Ukraine or support of Ukraine. I think there are those US politicians who are against the war and material support of Ukraine (i.e.: money and military equipment), but most vote FOR the Ukrainian aid packages out of fear of peer pressure, media hyper ridicule, etc. I dunno about Rick Scott to be honest. All I do know is that the sh*t has to stop cause we in for a word of hurt, domestically and globally, if it continues on and on.
Amen!
Well, at least it will probably not be under threat of the use of tactical battlefield nukes, unlike the western part.
We’re watching an interesting game being played over there right now. None of us know how it will play out, but just as could have been said in the early 1940’s, I’m glad I’m not in Europe right now. And especially when it starts getting cold.
I seriously doubt Putin would have attacked had Trump been president. Elections have consequences. We’re seeing in the real world the quote below playing out.
“Hard times create strong men, strong men create good times, good times create weak men, and weak men create hard times.” - G. Michael Hopf
Is there a strong leader right now, anywhere in the world besides a few US governors? We’re in for a hell of a ride. Buckle up.
I don’t like Biden, but like it or not the US is still the leader of the free world and even Biden is much better than the puss bags in Germany or megalomaniac in France.
There are countries where leaders take a much clearer and better stance than Biden like Poland or the Baltics, but you can’t underestimate the muscle that America has.
Biden is slow walking and timid, but the incredible strength of America makes his feeble moves in the right direction powerful.
I don’t want to disparage the character of Poland and the Baltics. These countries do what they can and have done a lot. Poland has donated 270 (!) tanks to Ukraine. It’s just that the US military capabilities are 100 times larger currently so even if the US does 50 times less related to its size they still do 2 times more than Poland.
You’ve gone 100% nutter. It’s easy to assume that your first name is Juan.
“We also herd your same arguements when Crimea had their referendum.”
No you didn’t. I wasn’t actively posting much at the time. Besides, at the time I vaguely thought the referendum principle was the right idea.
When I saw some of the ballot sheets had no option on them that involved remaining in Ukraine AT ALL, I figured, rigged.
That wasn’t a democratic progress at all; it was a straight up hijack instigated by Russian proxies.
The Donbas hasn’t been pushing for independence from Ukraine at all. You have a few hundred FSB operatives pretending to be in power, just asserting it with zero proof at all that the Donbas peoples were ever asked their opinion.
What was Tucker’s point? I went through fifty responses and found nothing except vitriol spewed one way and another.
Tucker is a cynical asshole. His point is trying to build an audience among young know-nothing people from BOTH the angry right and the angry left by just lying.
It can be very fruitful for him because that’s how fandom works. According to a PEW poll only 6% of Americans have a positive opinion of Putin. This 6% is of course in the nutso sphere.
Yet when you win the ENTHUSIASTIC nutso sphere then the fact that America is so large means you make a lot of money.
So just spend more time writing your useless mini-novels weeping about Putin/Russia.
Then GFY.
America is powerful, but sloppy. Especially now. And weak men don’t act. That’s the core of the problem. Power is useless if you don’t actually wield it at key points when it is desperately needed.
The way to find the leaders in an organization is to just sit back and see who makes the tough decisions. Those are the leaders, no matter their official role. Who are the leaders in US politics today? The first one that comes to mind is DeSantis. But most of them just talk.
I’m guessing that Tucker and Hunter are no longer friends. Either that, or Tucker, being altruistic, is determined to publish the truth, while also hoping Hunter will man up and turn himself in and tell all.
We will surely disagree on what is true and what is false coming out of the area.
Fact.....Referendums on the status of Donetsk and Luhansk oblasts, parts of Ukraine that together make up the Donbas region, ......took place on 11 May 2014...... in many towns under the control of the Donetsk and Luhansk People’s Republics. These referendums sought to legitimise the establishment of the republics, in the context of the aftermath of the 2014 Ukrainian Revolution.....
Frankly, you are full of bullsht. Carlson is near fifty, if not fifty-plus. Has started news outlets. He has had successes. He is at a stage in his life where pejoratives like yours just roll of his back.
[sliding towards nuclear war]
It certainly feels like it some days.
I’m just wondering when Ezekiel 38 is going to happen. Keep an eye on Iran. And Libya. And Turkey.
7 And when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison,
8 And shall go out to deceive the nations which are in the four quarters of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to battle: the number of whom is as the sand of the sea.
Of the pre-millennial: Matthew 24:36: But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.
Regardless, so many of us realize that these are the 'end times' of this age! Maranatha!
I can propose one identity of the soon to emerge antichrist as Derek, Hebrew "the broad way", "trodden down". I can also propose an identity of The False Prophet.
