The claims of Putin wanting to take over the world, is the same crap propaganda about Russia, and the "Red Scare" that I heard as a kid in the 50's and 60's. George W. Bush, in his last year in office, allowed Putin to invade Georgia. In 2014, Obama allowed Putin to annex Croatia. Obama had two years left in his second term, and he did nothing. Since neither of them batted an eyelash, why didn't Putin push even farther since he'd already tested the waters and found nobody was going to challenge him? Why did he wait 7 years until Biden got in office to make a move on Ukraine, if he was so intent on reforming the U.S.S.R. as people who support the war in Ukraine believe. Why did Putin stop in 2014, when his previous moves showed the west didn't really give a crap?
The biggest threat to this country isn't Putin. It's the Biden Whitehouse, and the RATS and Repukes that support sending billions of unaccounted-for money to a country 5,000 miles away, that is the size of Texas, and which American has no national security interest in. It's also the thousands of illegal aliens, criminals, Chinese, middle-eastern, diseased and mentally ill individuals roaming around this country unsupervised. Putin is the least of our problems.
This whole crap with Ukraine started when info was circled that Ukraine was going to join NATO. Ukraine's first interest in joining NATO came in 2002. In 2006, Ukraine's President Yushchenko became more serious about joining.
At the "Bucharest Summit Declaration" issued April 3, 2008, it was officially announced that: "NATO welcomes Ukraine's and Georgia's Euro-Atlantic aspirations for membership in NATO. We agreed today that these countries will become members of NATO. Both nations have made valuable contributions to Alliance operations. We welcome the democratic reforms in Ukraine and Georgia and look forward to free and fair parliamentary elections in Georgia in May. MAP is the next step for Ukraine and Georgia on their direct way to membership. Today we make clear that we support these countries' applications for MAP. Therefore we will now begin a period of intensive engagement with both at a high political level to address the questions still outstanding pertaining to their MAP applications. We have asked Foreign Ministers to make a first assessment of progress at their December 2008 meeting. Foreign Ministers have the authority to decide on the MAP applications of Ukraine and Georgia."
Fast forward to September 2022, Zelensky formally applies to NATO for Ukraine membership. All those years, from 2002 when Ukraine first thought of joining, up to and including Zelensky's application, then the NATO announcement in 2008, and then crickets. 16 years have passed since that NATO statement. The Biden Administration back in 2021, clearly stated that Ukraine would become a member soon. Then in July of 2023, Biden said Ukraine "is not ready to be a member of NATO." WTF???
In the meantime, Sweden mouthed their intent and applied to NATO in May-June 2022, and were admitted on or about April 3, 2023. So what happened in the meantime to Ukraine, who was the actual country being threatened? Sweden was whisked in quickly, but Ukraine is still standing out in the cold. What the hell is really going on? And during WWII, Sweden claimed neutrality, so Hitler wouldn't invade them, but they were far from neutral.
Murky truth of how a neutral Sweden covered up its collaboration with Nazis
Sweden was no different than Switzerland when it came to helping the Nazis.
If Russia is so great, you can move there. How about St. Petersburg or Moscow. I wouldn't bring the American passport, if I were you.
