Russian forces massing on the border with Ukraine have prompted the U.S. European Command to raise its watch level to its highest point of “potential imminent crisis”, according to a New York Times report Tuesday night. On Wednesday, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Mark Milley spoke to senior Russian Gen. Valery Gerasimov about the buildup, according to Russia.
Four Ukrainian soldiers were killed last week in an extended battle in the contested Donetsk Region against Russia-backed separatists. Russian forces that were thought to have gathered for training exercises near the border have stayed and grown in numbers, prompting concerns.
Under Presidents George W. Bush and Barack Obama, Russia under Vladimir Putin took territory in the former Soviet republics of Georgia and Ukraine. When Donald Trump was president, Russia took no territory. Now with Joe Biden in the White House, Russia appears to be testing his mettle.

Iran, Russia, China all know we have a demented old fool as POTUS and a very shaky Admin. that’s ripe for the pickin’. The border is wide open for a reason.
“Idiots” is being way too kind.
These massing Russian troops, are massing in their own country along their own border. Putting your own troops along your border completely freaks out DC. They can’t imagine why anyone would do such a thing.
Putin took no territory under Trump, unlike he did with G.W. Bush and Obama.
ON march 10 the pro russian website unz.com had article by the saker “is the ukraine on the brink of war again?” The article expressed concern that the ukrainian military was massing troops and tanks near the disputed line of contact with donbass and crimea. Now our media is suddenly discovering the situation as russia responds in kind.
Too bad the Ukrainians gave up their nukes.

The bottom line, Kiev was seized in a violent coup. When you seize the government by such methods, you only have a right do what you can take by force. The Kiev government has no right to Crimea are Eastern Ukraine. Those regions are simply exercising the same rights that the Kiev bunch did.
Seizing a government does not give you the right to everything that the legitimate government possessed. If the Kiev government would stop trying to grab more territory belonging to the old Ukraine , this war would be over.
Another war started by the CIA.
Let us see how Jimmy Carter lite (Joe Biden) handles this. I would bet that he will do nothing. Russia knew who Trump was. There was mutual trust between Trump and Putin. That is not true between Putin and Biden. Remember 444 days Iran held our diplomats while Carter did nothing?
Giving away Alaska removes three Republican legislators.

Me either.
Just funning w/ you.
This is like Deja Vu all over again.

Biden told the Ukraine people to fear not he’s going to loan them his dog to secure the problem.
Tyrants always take advantage of weakness in America, they call it opportunity. Watch for a Chinese invasion of Taiwan too. Poland and the Baltic Countries must be terrified about now.
I’m not sure we could defend ourselves from France.
I’m not sure we could defend ourselves from Grand Fenwick.
“I’m not sure we could defend ourselves from France.”
What a battle. Our rainbow soldiers against the French pants crappers.
