Putin is an invade-the-world, invite-the-world imperialist, he’s just the Russian version. Every other European country got the memo after 1945 that 1.) imperialism was dumb and self-defeating, doubly so if you are trying to cobble together an empire within Europe, 2.) starting intra-European wars is the greatest crime against humanity imaginable.

Russia wants buffer states? Why doesn’t Germany get buffer states then? Why doesn’t France get buffer states? Buffer states are for Russia’s security? Seriously? Do you think that Napoleon is going to mass his troops in Poland and march on Russia? Those days are over. Russia is 4x the size of its European neighbors *combined*. It has all the security it needs, and has had it for the last 80 years. This has f***-all to do with their security. They just want to tell their neighbors what to do, and are willing to get people killed for the privilege.

Because Putin’s spinal cancer is spreading and the chemo and steroids aren’t working.

Biden is letting Russia attack Ukraine because Ukraine stopped paying Hunter his millions for doing nothing. See what happens when you stop paying millions to the bidens for doing nothing. Continue paying them or they will sic the Russians on you. Nations beware.

Where are the 190,000 Russian troops that were amassed on the border pre-invasion?

The whole buffer thing is phony. Putin is just a gangster that likes stealing from those weaker, a bully.

I wouldn’t doubt it. It explains why occupier Biden put sanctions on USA energy and took away Russias. Putins took all the oil profits and used it to finance the invasion. That’s why I’ve been calling it the “Biden financed Russia invasion of Ukraine”

They are waiting.

A couple of decades of gratuitous disrespect, color revolutions, and NATO expansion has backed them into a place that they either have to accept subjugation to the WEF globalists, or fight.
The relentless attacks and getting boxed in should be familiar to Americans.

It doesn’t matter, you can make up whatever you like and believe in it.

Thats what 95% of the news people are doing, why should we be any different?

I’m claiming aliens are behind it all.

I think the original reports (150k to 190k) were a fraud. No one, not Putin or the reporters, can substantiate the numbers.

Based on some comments by Russians captured...fair sum are new recruits...marginally out of a quick boot-camp affair and were lined up for the first wave. Anyone’s guess why this was necessary or just how many fell into this situation.

Makes one wonder...after Hurricane Katrina, the New Orleans police force got around to admitting that there might be a minimum of 200 folks listed as hired, but were never existing. I could see some Russian commander running that scheme and claiming he had 500 troops under his command, but a third of them were non-existing...with him pocketing the salary. So he got orders to show up and his mini-unit has all the vehicles but only 300 soldiers.

Ukraine was always the red line for Russia....you and everyone else knows this and it’s not just to use it as a buffer zone.

You left out Nato’s snatching up countries that surround Russia.....or that for decades the US has always held Russia as their enemy...and who leads NATO..the US.

So Russia’s grievances are not only well known but equally have been ignored for decades. Then they began arming Ukraine to the hilt.....those explosions evidence the degree of stock piling in Ukraine.

So there’s blame on both sides in this equation.

Russia’s army is mostly conscripts with drunkard NCOs. It is not high quality and has a high suicide rate. Sure there are some more elite units but your average conscript kid has little interest in dying for Putin in Ukraine. They are starting to crack already.

Boxed in? We have centuries of Russians killing their neighbors. Ukrainians fight for their land and people. They’re not going anywhere. The invaders will be removed one way or another.
