If Poland lets the EU/Nato attack Russia from her boarders, how do you think that will play out?

The Poles HATE the Russians (and the Germans for the most part) but are under no illusions about starting the next World War.

We can't get to the Ukraine, and to be honest from reports I have heard from people there, I am not so sure we SHOULD support the coup government.

No we should not.

Do you really want Russian arms in the hands of insurgents trying to create Aztlan?

You and I have been around forever. We’re easily documented conservatives of our own stripes.

We might even disagree on this issue, on reasonable grounds.

To me, though, the newbie axe-grinders are tiresome.

I also believe Ukraine should be more forceful, but then again they might play into what Russia wants. Regrettably Ukrainian army is disorganized and weak. I don’t think it is just my prejudice talking. In another post a FRiend, who had served together with Ukrainian troops in Iraq, said their training and organization leaves much to be desired and with the Russian puppet in power in recent past enacting his disastrous army reform certainly did not make it better.

Russia is using the opportunity when they got Ukraine in weak state to rape them.

I work for the House of Rothschild, at the Ukraine desk. I assure you, wideawake does not work for Bundesbank. I'd have met him by now.

If the Bloody Red Army is fighting out of uniform, then any prisoners can be executed on the spot. No Geneva Convention protections for them! They are legally terrorists.

““So, if the Mexicans were armed and protesting in California are you saying it would be okay for our troops to kill them?”

If they were current or former Mexican military taking over government buildings by force, holding hostages and hanging Mexican flags, it would be not only ok, but necessary.”

I fully agree with the 2nd party above. In fact, there is no need to do anything other than execute any wounded or captured prisoners in such a case, as they have NO Geneva Convention protections. They are legally TERRORISTS for fighting out of uniform!

You're basically a supporter of Russian imperialism.

Russia is reacting to the overthrow of its most important neighbor and strategic ally by the same Globalists that are wrecking our country RIGHT NOW. I support Russia in a similar fashion to the way the USA supported the Soviet Union during WWII.

Far from being a "rump", it had far more deputies than the constitutionally required quorum and a supermajority of them voted to impeach.

By the time they held that phony impeachment "vote" the coup was a fait accompli. The key event was two days before when the rump parliament of 227 MPs out of the total 450, which were basically all opposition members, voted to order the police and military to stand down leaving government personnel utterly defenseless against the thousands of firebomb throwing Neo-Nazis that surrounded the capital building. Under those circumstances any members who weren't all ready loyal to the coup that voted to impeach took their life into their own hands.

They're Soviets cloaked in red, white and blue.

Even if that were true the Globalists are a million times worse than the Soviets and, more importantly, the Globalists are actively ruining the county RIGHT NOW.

Assad sent thousands of jihadis to kill American soldiers in Iraq.

Is Assad fighting the same jihadis he sent to Iraq or is Uncle Scam giving anti-tank and anti-aircraft missles to the same jihadis that killed American soldiers?

The only question you should be asking is why you’re on the side of America’s enemies.

"Even if that were true the Globalists are a million times worse than the Soviets..."

That's the most idiotic thing I've heard yet. The Soviets slaughtered 30 million people. Try learning some history.

I'm against the Globalists who are wrecking the USA RIGHT NOW. The Globalists are fomenting the civil war in Ukraine by supporting the coup junta in Kiev. I only support Russia in this fight against the Globalists. Sort of like how the USA supported the Soviet Union during WWII.

Why do you think the likes of Obama/Soros/and the sodomites in Brussels are backing the overthrow of Ukraine? Why do you have the same position as them?
