You can fix a lot of things with blue duct tape.
Germany has a lot at stake here - and Russia has a lot to offer.
A fifth partition of Poland is by no means out of the question.

Ukraine’s in trouble! Russia must be beaten back!

“He is first last and always a communist.”
Link please. Specifically, what measures has Putin taken to turn Russia back into a Communist country?
That was the entire purpose of the natural born citizen clause.
John Jay to George Washington:
“Permit me to hint, whether it would be wise and seasonable to provide a strong check to the admission of Foreigners into the administration of our national Government; and to declare expressly that the Command in Chief of the American army shall not be given to nor devolve on, any but a natural born Citizen.”
I haven’t called for support of Ukraine
Putin’s history is well documented
You must be pretty lazy. Start here.

That’s what I believe as well, but I’m withholding final judgement and not slamming either side in the debate. It will all come out in the future, and we’ll know who is lying.
“No effort to defuse situation. Be really hard to convince me the Globalists didn’t want this war, and my enemy is the Globalists.”
The evidences REEKS that you are correct, and if Trump hadn’t won in 2016, we would have ignited this war 4 years earlier.
Lots of people at FR have said what a good Christian soul Putin is. Nothing has evidenced that
His history and beliefs are well documented
Translation: The American Politicians are about to lose the source of their dirty money. He has to rally his disciples. They have been slacking off lately.
I keep hearing that assertion, but without evidence. The first tenet of Marxism is the progressive (graduated) income tax, which Russia dumped in 2001 when it instituted a 13% flat tax. We Americans are the ones still burdened with the progressive income tax.
Killing his opposition and have priests arrested are nothing to dismiss
I have a Tecsun PL-880, it’s picks up just about everything and works great, it’s a little on the expensive side.
Bull, Russia stated that it would agree to the terms of the Minsk agreement. K urged on by the neocons in DC rejected this offer.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minsk_agreements
So now Russia will take procession of the Russian speaking parts of Eastern Ukraine.
Lesson: Do no listen to lying neocons.
Russia has no interest in the western Ukraine where it would face a hostile population and likely civil resistance. They learned that lesson in Afghanistan.
Wrong topic, sorry.
“His display of conventional military power hasn’t been exactly a shining star - something to fear by NATO, or at least the US.”
Or that Ukraine was very well armed and trained by the West, hence validating Putin’s concern (not to mention the non-stop talk of them joining NATO).
The question is why that was done by us?
He’s a Russian autocrat trying to restore the old imperial borders. Communism has nothing to do with it.
“Russia is not “taking Ukraine”. With a Ukraine defeat Dunbas remains independent, as they declared eight years ago.”
I think there’s a very chance that Russia does take the above, and more, as they are now Russia-fying much of the region they control, like Mariupol.
But I do agree that was not a goal prior to the war, or even early into the war. An expanded outcome is now necessary domestically for Putin to justify the expense of the war, and make it clear to the West that there will be a price to pay for trying to be ‘cute’ over there in lieu of taking his phone calls.

They hate Trump for many reasons, I think number 1 on the list is he is a man of peace.
“What gives Putin a second thought about taking over historical Ukraine from the “Nazi’s.””
Most likely the thought of having to rule over a hostile people, which is not the case in the territories they now control. But yes, anything is possible.
