Is this some kind of one off or is Putin pushing?

Over the long haul, Russia has been a $hit country! They are worse than the Germans.

Putin got the message of retreat by Obama and so now only President Trump has provided help in self-defense.

Because the Russians want to steal and illegally annex and subjugate the sovereign nation of Ukraine. That’s why.

“Poor Poland.”

No kidding! The Poles end up being wonderful folks who have been raped repeatedly by both the Ruskies and the Krauts! You just have to begin to have to consider that they are both genetically damaged. They are both cold, heartless people.

I think it’s mostly Putin and his life-long “dream” of putting back together and running the Soviet Union. If I were the Baltic States, I’d be beginning to worry!

Look at a map of the Kerch Strait. Russia is on both sides of it. Ukraine is supposed to coordinate when it sends military ships into the Azov Sea. It refused to do so this time (unlike before).

Yep. Similar to when those Russian paratroopers got “lost” in Ukraine during the Russian invasion of that country a few years back. Don’t be so gullible, FRiend.

Ukrainian Air Force now alerted to full combat readiness. All tactical/attack assets are required to be airborne within 15-30 minutes, once called upon.

That would be interesting. How long would they last.

The establishment elites (GOPe=DNCe) continue to forge a Russian/China through their anti-Russia mania......

Any idiot would understand the threat to an emasculated America.....Any clearminded thinker can see the folly of isolating Putin.......
