Putin also took an indirect swipe at French President Emmanuel Macron, saying Western leaders should not underestimate the Russian people and should keep in mind the fate of Napoleon Bonaparte, whose invasion of Russia in 1812 ended in disaster.

Except that Russia is the invader now.

Only if you pretend history begins on a day of your choosing.

"Except that Russia is the invader now."

No matter how many times you comment it out, it doesn't make it true.

The Ukrainians were key players in the coup against President Trump. The first impeachment was driven by President Trump's call to Zelensky and Ukrainian-born "whistle-blower" Col. Vindman was the impetus. Col. Vindman was offered the high position of Defense Minister of Ukraine THREE TIMES by the Ukraine - why? The coup against President Trump led us into the Ukraine War and the death of hundreds of thousands of people and the impoverishment of America. We are led by traitors and snakes.

Vindman, 44, explained during his impeachment testimony that he had been offered the position three times but declined the position because of his loyalty to the United States. The lieutenant colonel was born in Ukraine, but his family immigrated to the U.S. when he was a toddler.

Vindman claimed he did not know why he was offered the high ranking position of defense minister.

And, amazingly, after President Trump was only out of office a little over a year we were at war with Russia at the behest of the Ukraine.

Three words.

"Might is right".

It's irrelevant how I may "feel" about this matter.

Russia has a sphere of influence they are willing and able to enforce.

“Western leaders should keep in mind” Prigozhin. There is simply nothing to be gained by dealmaking with a mass murdering Kremlin Bolshevik such a Putin. History has shown us he will never cease murdering and destroying as long his illigimate regime occupies the Moscow Kremlin.
