I can't believe this needs to be said, but Ukraine is not in NATO. It is a highly corrupt country. It is not a "democracy."

I can’t believe this needs to be said. The US should not be in NATO The US is not a democracy. The US is a corrupt country. Millions of Mexicans live in the US. The Ukraine was INVADED by Russia. They are defending themselves.

Just as a small addition.................
Millions of Mexican, central and south americans live in the US.
The U.S. was and is being INVADED across the southern border by many countries mainly from south of the US
The U.S. is not defending itself in any way as the invaders flood the US with lethal drugs that kill countless Americans.

And the US is expected to defend and attack other countries in Europe and Asia by the Ukrainians that now have more US arms than the US military itself. How about blyat nyet.

“ Yeah, and Putin’s Russia is the epitome of a well functioning democracy”

Who’s asking us to subsidize Russia with our tax dollars (or more borrowing by the federal government)? Nobody. But Biden insists on subsidizing corrupt Ukraine by throwing the auS into deeper debt. If

If you’re a Trump supporter, you might want to back his calls for a peace negotiation instead of backing Biden’s policy of endless subsidies and endless war

Those Biden bucks from Ukraine might yet get us into nuke war

what an idiotic comment

the only way a nuclear conflict would start is if *RUSSIA* launches one first ... Ukraine has no nukes

if you're so "scared" of a nuclear war, then stop cheerleading for Putin, he's the one who keeps escalating things

<>Ukrainian efforts to sabotage Trump backfire; foreign aid billions threatened
<>Kiev scrambles to make amends with president-elect Trump after working to boost Clinton.
<>President Petro Poroshenko’s administration, and the Ukrainian Embassy in Washington, insists that Ukraine stayed neutral in the presidential race.

Donald Trump wasn’t the only presidential candidate whose campaign was boosted by officials of a former Soviet bloc country.

A Politico investigation found
<><>Ukrainian govt officials helped Hillary and trashed Trump, questioning his fitness for office.
<><>They disseminated documents implicating a top Trump aide in corruption
<><>They suggested they were investigating the matter, only to back away after the election.
<><>They helped Clinton’s allies research damaging information on Trump and his advisers.

A Ukrainian-American operative who was consulting for the Democratic National Committee met with top officials in the Ukrainian Embassy in Washington in an effort to expose ties between Trump, top campaign aide Paul Manafort and Russia, according to people with direct knowledge of the situation.

The Ukrainian efforts had an impact in the race, helping to force Manafort’s resignation and advancing the narrative that Trump’s campaign was deeply connected to Ukraine’s foe to the east, Russia. But they were far less concerted or centrally directed than Russia’s alleged hacking and dissemination of Democratic emails.

Russia’s effort was personally directed by Russian President Vladimir Putin, involved the country’s military and foreign intelligence services, according to U.S. intelligence officials. They reportedly briefed Trump last week on the possibility that Russian operatives might have compromising information on the president-elect. And at a Senate hearing last week on the hacking, Director of National Intelligence James Clapper said “I don’t think we’ve ever encountered a more aggressive or direct campaign to interfere in our election process than we’ve seen in this case.”

There’s little evidence of such a top-down effort by Ukraine. Longtime observers suggest that the rampant corruption, factionalism and economic struggles plaguing the country — not to mention its ongoing strife with Russia — would render it unable to pull off an ambitious covert interference campaign in another country’s election.

And President Petro Poroshenko’s administration, along with the Ukrainian Embassy in Washington, insists that Ukraine stayed neutral in the race.

What about that Russian induced Ukraine Famine that starved millions of Ukrainians in the 1930s? Most everyone here in Freepland pisses on Ukraine while glorifying Putin’s Russia. Makes me sick.

Here’s a couple of questions: how many of you urging the U.S. to get further involved in this conflict have ever actually fought in a war? Better yet, how many of you are getting a kick-back from the 60+ billion dollars that we’ve sent to those crooks in Ukraine? Jus’ axin’

2006 Pipeline Blast in Russia Cuts Gas to Georgia

Explosions of two gas pipelines in Russia?s North Ossetian Republic early on January 22 suspended gas supply to Georgia and Armenia, Russian news agencies reported.

Georgia: Tbilisi Accuses Moscow Of Energy Sabotage
January 23, 2006 13:01 GMT

Temperatures in Georgia are dipping below freezing. Tempers, by contrast, are blazing hot.

First, two explosions on the morning of 22 January in the southern Russian republic of North Ossetia knocked out the main pipeline exporting gas across the border to Georgia.

Hours later, a third explosion — in Karachaevo-Cherkessia, another southern Russian republic — ripped through a power line, temporarily cutting off a portion of Georgia’s electricity supplies.

Georgian President Mikheil Saakashvili said there could be only one culprit: “It was an attempt by Russia to force Georgia to surrender ownership of its domestic gas pipeline.”

he went on to describe the blasts as “outrageous blackmail” and the latest move by Russia to use energy dominance to impose its political will on its smaller ex-Soviet neighbors.

Saakashvili has said none of the militant groups operating in the region has any complaint against Georgia.

According to police sources, the Ossetians admitted during interrogation that they had been instructed by two Russian military intelligence officers prior to organizing the explosion near the local police headquarters (lenta.ru,

On January 21, just a day before the blasts in North Ossetia and Karachaevo-Cherkessia, Russian-Georgian relations had seriously deteriorated because of an incident at the Russian military base in Batumi, a city in southern Georgia. Georgian troops announced that their Russian colleagues had prevented them from entering a firing range that had already been handed over to the Georgians according to the treaty on the withdrawal of Russian troops from Georgia. The commander of the Russian Military Group in Transcaucasia denied the allegations (kavkaz.memo.ru, January 21).

It also looks quite suspicious that the Russian authorities immediately recognized that the explosions were acts of sabotage

The choice is between supporting Putin’s invasion of Ukraine

No there’s another choice - Trumps choice of brokering peace.

I support Trump. Sounds like you support Biden

Nope.

Putin since 2003 has been talking of getting the USSR back together.

Unless you claim that the CIA created Putin

Can’t disagree.

For all the people really interested in the war, take an hour to understand how we got there. Watch John Mearsheimer explain it in this video from seven years ago. He predicted it then and spells out the reasons. Warning: this video is only for people who possess the ability to critically think.

Any “peace deal” must include security guarantees for Ukraine to protect from any future Russian invasions (and we know Putin won’t stop, because he’s a warmonger)

so what’s your solution to this problem, if you really want peace?

“ What about that Russian induced Ukraine Famine that starved millions of Ukrainians in the 1930s?”

Do you think Churchill and FDR should not have allied with Russia in World War II?

The politicians certainly are taking enough trips to the “war zone” for it to be a bit suspicious. The fearless politicians walking the streets in Ukraine with their staff members in dresses and high heels (no destruction in sight) certainly make a great picture.
