Putin isn’t exactly a genius, he is already running into massive problems, and he is hasn’t even messed with the big boys yet.
I think the EU should be arming them.
You can have your hopes, but invading a nation because it was joining NATO, would be a step that I don’t think Putin would want to take.
You overestimate your little man.
I think you’ve been watching different news than the rest of us, he is running rings around world leaders quite frankly. Putin didn’t rise through the KGB and spy circles to end up running Russia like a dictator by being an idiot.
He didn’t do it the Obama limp wrist way to the top, that guy climbed up there fighting tooth and nail.
You sound exactly like Chamberlain. You are now a hope and change appeaser, congrats.
send them some Javelins and some A-10’s
I don’t watch news, and so far, Putin hasn’t gotten outside of the children’s circle, your hero worship has been too easily won.
EU needs to arm itself first
You want to send these guys weapons? They’ll be ISIS in Europe, only goose stepping.
That would be Russia, they are the ISIS of Europe
Correction! If you are a surrender-monkey Paultard who actively spreads anti-American and anti-Ukrainian propaganda and advises these people to sit in chains and lick the hand that feeds them, or constantly apologizes for Russian behavior or changes the topic, then you are a worthless pile of crap Putin supporter.
hero worship?, grow up, and stop acting like a kid,Putin is a first class bas$$$d but a clever one, you obviously do not wish to see the reality on the ground...who is going to help and protect the Ukranians? Who...
The EU has practically no army, sanctions from them are not going to cut it.....and they are dependent for energy from Russia and they back down like rabbits in headlights and doesn’t Russia know it.
Nato is no way at this point going to get involved. Not a chance.
The US? You have people saying here the US should not get involved and then in the next breath saying arm them, well that’s getting involved folks. Pick one or the other, its either get involved or don’t.
What exactly has the world done in the last few months.....in case you have not noticed,Sanctions, yeah they really worked, Russia is already in Ukraine, its soldiers are over the border and convoys going in daily.
The reality is The EU are not going to help, The US is not going to overtly help and eventually and most likely Ukraine will fall back under Russian influence.
That is not appeasement, that is reality.
What do you expect or wish is going to happen in Ukraine because all i hear is bull and no answers.
Now they buzz Latvia
Yeah that's right. Ukraine is the ISIS of Europe.
Watch RT much?
I know you're a Russkie troll since you are calling the Ukrainians the "Isis in Europe," when there are videos of Chechen Muslims saying "Allahu Akbar" as they ride on top of Russian tanks to invade a European country.
of course, Russia is going to push and push because Putin realises no one is going to lift a finger to stop him. Any half tinpot would dictator plays that book.
NATO has a massive military force which includes the United States, you think your man is really wanting to do what the massive Soviet military couldn’t do, defeat the West?
Your hero worship is premature, and your fears as well, we need to stop this little punk’s empire building before your and Obama’s appeasement creates a real threat to the world.
I’m saying I would not trust US weapons in the hands of Ukranians to not end up in the hands of radicals, just as they do just about every place else.
