Good work. Thanks
The Russians should slaughter every muslim in Ukraine that threw out the elected government and assumed control.

Yes. I posted that upthread. Curious timing on that.
I think for most of us, we are just taking more of a “Realpolitik” approach to it.
I don’t think anyone wants a war against Ukraine. There are people around here that get too emotional and use overly dramatic words because people disagree on who all is behind that mess over there.
People are the side of America unlike our current WH regime. Most of us are disgusted and embarrassed at the US Foreign Policy of the regime.
Our weakness is an invitation for strong men to assert their policy and wildest dreams and they are taking advantage of it.
We can only sit back and watch.
or ... face another sternly worded letter for Obama!
lol
Fog of war.
What have I missed?
If Ukraine does anything as a military response then Putin has his excuse to annex all of Ukraine.
I honestly don’t think Putin wants them.
Maybe all the Russian ships in the Port of Odessa should be detained.
Yeah, we are in deep shit.
KIEV, Ukraine (AP) Ukraine’s government said Wednesday it has begun drawing up plans to pull its troops from Crimea, where Russia is steadily taking formal control as its armed forces seize military installations across the peninsula
Release him?? I'm sure he'll be released. The question is as a trade for whom?
I hate bad translations. The commander is a “Queer duck,” not a “Gayduck.” ;-)
