Ukraine 4 (vanity)
www.freerepublic.com ^ | impimp

Media and Biden are setting the table for an escalation in American involvement in the Ukraine-Russia war. This must not happen. America has no business getting involved in foreign wars that don’t involve our allies.

Without foreign involvement I see the following peace settlement happening - Russia will take Crimea, Ukraine will recognize Donbas independence, Ukraine will not join the EU or NATO, and then the war will be over. The only problem is that the idiot Zelensky is saying no to Russia’s reasonable demands. And these demands are reasonable. In fact, the Russian claim to Crimea, at a minimum should have been acknowledged 8 years ago after they had a referendum.

Putin was wrong to invade the Ukraine. But other than some short term sanctions as a disincentive to violence, the US needs to normalize its trade relationship with Russia. If the USA does not have normal trade relationships with Russia then that leaves China as the only nation with normal trade relations with most of the globe. This weakens America as it hurts our economy. And most importantly, we have no business getting involved in foreign wars.

Hi.

Welcome to FR.

Have you ever faced the Soviets/Russians before?

If so, what’s your military opinion/summary of the current conflict?

I’m sure you are familiar with Russian tactics/order of battle.

Start with the situation on the ground in Kyiv and Odessa for starters.

Thanks.

Worse than that, it will to the end of the US dollar as world's reserve currency and the end of the petrodollar. If that happens, it is going to be much, much harder to manage our massive debt.

Serves us right for getting into so much debt in the first place. Was wrong from the get-go to rely upon our currency being the world's reserve currency and expecting that to continue for all time into the future, regardless of how irresponsibly we handle our finances!

Regards,

What we imported from Russia means almost nothing to the US economy. Even Russian oil was a drop in the bucket.

We should let Russia swing in the breeze until they remove their troops.

Putin has done a lot more to endanger his people than a NATO with Ukraine ever could.

It is dangerous if the politicians and US and European military believe it

That is exactly what worries me the most.

Good post.

Tell that to the 17,000 arrested for protesting.

He needs to go. But that’s up to the Russian people. I figure you are one of them.

destroyed the good will of the post Cold War era of Yeltsin

Oh please!

Yeltsin was as "in charge" as Biden is.

The current regime in Russia exists because being raped by international bankers and whiz kids from Harvard does not generate very much good will.

Yeltsin was a Clinton stooge, who aided the West’s rape of Russia after the end of the Soviet Union.

You are very wrong. Boris was the man of the hour. The Soviet Union died the moment he took Russia out of it. He was very much in charge.

So basically the people who claimed Trump would crash the economy and start WW3 have crashed the economy and started WW3.

Putin is evil! Putin is a mad man! Putin is crazy!... Oh, yeah, and Putin has more than 1,500 warheads deployed on strategic long-range systems and almost 3,000 in reserve, according to an assessment published in the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists,

Well... uh.. um.. Putin is not THAT evil. Putin is not THAT mad. Putin is not THAT crazy...

No matter how reasonable the demands there is no excuse for invading a country, killing its people and destroying its infrastructure.

"Media and Biden are setting the table for an escalation in American involvement in the Ukraine-Russia war. "

---------------------

Correction:

"RINO republicans (in lockstep with progressive democrats), CINO conservatives, Media, and Biden are setting the table for an escalation in American involvement in the Ukraine-Russia war with hypocritical CINO conservative electorate support. "

The only problem is you have to be willing to trust Putin. I don’t.
