You seem very well informed with Ukraine matters. Do you think the stories about foreign aid for democrat kickbacks are true? My conjecture was that letting pro-Russia forces control Ukraine gets rid of anyone in Government who knows the truth of the matter and serves as payback for helping get rid of Trump. Or is just perceived weakness of the US is encouraging moves on the board.

I think it's more that Obama/Biden have are instigating war...and it's Obama's policy Bidens playing with Putin regarding Ukraine. Obama's personal hatred of Putin and vice versa is well known.

Obamas DC hideaway GPS coordinates were probably the first thing fed into Putin’s new Super hypersonic unstoppable new toy.

Putin took great offense at senile Biden’s comments calling Putin a killer. So much so, Russia recalled it’s ambassador. When that happened, the clowns on the NSC should have stopped Biden, instead of playing their telephone tag games with Trump. This is something the NSC should have involved itself in, and it shows that Biden, et al are too incompetent to be leading this country. There are no adults in the room in the White House anymore, and they’re going to blunder themselves (and us) right into a nasty little war with us. Biden has announced, as has NATO, that they will vigorously defend the Ukraine, despite having zero treaty obligations to do so. My kids, and nephews, whom are in the service, will not take this lightly, and as my son is now a reservist, I told him to head for Canada if they send him activation orders. This country, as it currently stands, cannot expect that those whose votes were stolen, will fight for this country.

I’d love to see all of our politicians’ heads on Russian or Chinese Pikes around Washington, and they can’t expect that the citizenry will defend them.

Putin is bed partners with whoever benefits his causes just as most nations leaders do, depending on where the ball is being played in the field. He's always said Ukraine is a red-line Nato should not cross....and he will never leave the Russian Ukrainian border unguarded...especially now that Obama's calling the shots behind Biden.

Exactly.......at least when Putin and Medvedev traded places they did so in full view, unlike Obama hiding behind Bidens skirt.

I’m just glad that the guy in the Offal Office doesn’t have any financial ties to Ukraine ... (or China!)

Every several years, China talks about nuking us. They are very direct in their statements.

I’ve never understood the reasoning behind minimization of the strength of an opponent. It would seem prudent to give them full credit and plan accordingly.

The Chinese seek world domination, without all the loss of life of a nuclear war. Their was against the US began a few decades ago, and is an asymmetical war. They seek to destroy our industrial base, weaken us financially, and to destabilize our country. They also seek revenge for the “opium wars” which were visited upon them in the 1800’s and have made fentanyl widely available in our country. They are now seeking our cutting edge scientific research, to transfer that, which is the engine of our economy, by corrupting the scientists whom they have identified as leaders in their fields. Quite insidious, and frankly, the end result will be as if they had nuked us. Eventually, they will come to conquer, and populate North America as their own. They’ve written extensively on the subject, believing they discovered North America before the western European powers. In the end, they seek that all will bow to them, and it’s a hard concept for Westerners to grasp.

The Han Chinese, have throughout history, have conquered all civilizations with which they have come into contact with, for centuries, many of whom knew what was coming, far sooner than we did, but were powerless to stop them anyway. We have become too risk averse, as a society, to expect that those who are willing to risk everything, to obtain what we have, will simply leave us alone.

Moscow 's view appears to be that domestic politics are driving Kyiv to want to try to recapture Donbas ...... If Russia is gearing up for an offensive, the slow pace and transparency is a 180 from Crimea 2014.

But basically at stake are Ukrainian sovereignty and Russian security..... And sorry to say Biden/BO hegemony.... And it will be interesting to see what level of autonomy is Ukraine willing to offer Donbas if any.

On CNN Ukraine's Pres. Zelenskyy said Biden must help Ukraine join NATO and "must do more" to contain Russia and end the war in Donbas. As if it's US war to settle! Perhaps he just wants payback for Biden and Hunter.

All this wouldn’t be happening if Trump were still in Power. Obama/Biden have an ax to grind with Putin just as they did before and Putin well knows it.

Putin knows who he’s dealing with and it isn’t Biden!

Problem is Ukraine’s Pres.Zelenskyy is begging O’Biden For help and to do more....and they won’t keep their noses out of it....it’s another move by Nato and Putins not going to sit still regarding Ukraine as it’s the gate way always used to invade Russia.

Yes...yes and yes..you understand exactly how it is.

One other thing....Navely’s on a now two week hunger strike that’s put him in the hospital because he’s not healthy anyway....He’s ‘our guy’ the US hopes to replace Putin with and who the Dems have been supporting in Russia.

Well you’re still putting out there old Anti-Russia stuff as well. Because you fail to understand some people are no longer living in the cold war era day in and out..they understand how Obama pushed Russia right into China’s lap.
