Wonder if anyone in the Ukraine has videotapes of Hunter, Paul Pelosi and Joe Biden himself arranging the payoffs and bribes in the Ukraine. Wonder if they are now so enraged that they release it on the internet.

The Russians will consider an invasion ending at the Dnieper River to be minor.

He has a long wait then. China is nowhere near invading Taiwan.

This is actually pretty good strategery. If Biden says it’s going to happen Putin will have to hold off for now. Maybe Brandon isn’t so senile after all.

Biggest takeaway from his press conference. Biden says he expects Putin to enter Ukraine. What a massive mistake. He should read Trump’s Art of the Deal.

He just gave the green light. Expecting immediate WH clarification.

He has apparently made an agreement with Putin to allow him to occupy up to the banks of the Dneipper River and stop, and then Biden will magically diplomatically agree to cease fire lines (the river boundary has always been the Russian idea of the Russian border). NATO is finished. Putin has proven that to be the case. They were never much more than a money funneling operation from the US to Europe to force us to defend them. Trump was right to tell NATO -get Europe to pay their fair share or disband it.

China, Russia, Iran and others are LAUGHING right now.

*************

That is a fact.

All they see is a big green light to do whatever they want.

It’s open season now.

The credibility of the U. S. sinks lower each day.

Weakness invites aggression. Always has, always will.

Just think what three more years of this will do to our country. The damage will be long lasting.

I was just looking at Ukraine on a map today wondering how far Putin will go. Sensing monumental weakness and a unique window of opportunity I would say you’re probably right about the Dnieper River being the new border. Putin will says it’s a temporary incursion to stabilize the country, but it will be permanent.

Putin won’t let this rare opportunity slip.

I think its the other way around. But we’ll see.

Conditions favor a Russian incursion before China moves on Taiwan. China will wait until after the Olympics are over to do anything, possible a little longer.

“Biden predicts Japanese invasion of Hawaii, but says ‘minor incursion’ may prompt discussion over consequences”.

Peace in our time...

I’ve noticed no reporters booing Rosen’s competence question.

Kind of hard to take care of the animals by shutting the barn door after the animals have left.

The time to let them know we will be using sanctions and what they are, is before they attack. That’s called a deterrent. But by doing it this way Biden is displaying he has no idea what to do. And may never.

So much for this:

BDW @BryanDeanWright

CONFUSION & ANGER: Hearing from USMIL folks that there’s a total meltdown at POTUS for his Ukraine comments.

Aghast at green light for Putin to launch a little invasion, which is what most feared.

No WH cleanup will change what Putin heard in Biden’s honest comments.
