But that’s why they want to get us into a war.

Putin is not coming after us. He’s coming after Ukraine.

What is the strategic US interest in Ukraine? That question pertains regardless of who is President.

No President has sufficient leverage to dissuade Russia from invading. What are we going to do - attack? War by proxy? Sanctions?

Russia will never relent in it’s interests in the Black Sea it’s only warm water port.

The contractors and Generals are salivating at the thought of all the expensive high tech weaponry that a war with Russia would entail. Lots of medals too! Jobs forever!

And what have you and your administration done to prepare for it, Ginger Goebbels?

Yup. And in Dec. 1998 Slick launched Operation Desert Fox, starting to bomb Iraq on the same day as his impeachment trial began in the House.

I can’t imagine being in our armed forces in 2022, with Biden as CIC. Look what he did in Afghanistan.

Must be scary.

The aspirin factory in Sudan was one of Willy’s patented pin-prick strikes, trying to show he cared about bin Laden’s destruction of two embassies in Africa.

“Hey in the fwiw department, January-February is not a good time to start a war in eastern Europe.”

Well, the Russians are not cowed by winter offensives (think Stalingrad, 1942); neither are the Chinese, for that matter (think Korea in 1950). Western European armies generally do not like winter offensives, unless they have no other option.

Both the Russians and the Chinese are opportunistic in their approach to war, and both believe that they are superior to western adversaries in winter conditions (I guess they never read about Washington’s attack on Trenton on Christmas Day, 1776). However, their winter offensives tend to be limited to smaller or specifically targeted objectives, across a narrow or limited front. Not even the Russians or the Chinese would welcome a winter offensive across a wide and broad front; it would be a logistical nightmare.

Are our military and intelligence thugs starting a war to 'change the subject' from skyrocketing crime,invasion on OUR southern border, high prices for everything and thugs calling parents and working class families 'domestic terrorists'?

I don't know what white liberal 'elites' want out of Ukraine - maybe more payoffs for Hunter Biden and the other 'children of DC 'elites'... but whatever it is I don't give a damn about it.

FIX OUR PROBLEMS FIRST...

I don't give a damn about Ukraine either.

Hunter Biden and the other scum whore-mongers and drug addicted 'children' of white liberal 'elites' running DC can rot in hell... We're NOT going to save Ukraine so their scum children can do their shake downs of third world hellholes.

It’s about time!

Geez, everbody knew it was coming.

It’s like a 57mph screwball. Your facing a screwball pitcher, in a jam with a high count.

You KNOW the next pitch is a screwball.

But there not a damn thing you can do about it.

Strike three.

Maybe they could set up a false flag where the Russians attack Pearl Harbor.
