Watching with interest. Putin seems to be having his way so far. Europe will likely do nothing that matters, Biden’s sanctions were expected and Putin prepared for those.
Stop making sense! Doesn’t apply to Biden, heh.
Donbas describes a region, not a political subdivision, and those two "tiny places" are the first (Donetsk) and seventh (Luhansk) most populous of Ukraine's 24 oblasts, or provinces. Both have voted to secede from Ukraine, and each has been self-governed since 2014, while under constant siege by the Ukrainian Army. Many citizens of these two oblasts have fled across their Russian borders to escape regular shelling by the Obama-installed Kiev regime.
It’s frankly none of Russia’s business, what a sovereign nation does.
That's a bold claim from Americans like us -- who have repeatedly invaded our neighbors and warded off rivals to achieve our own security goals. Since 1823 we have enforced this "Monroe Doctrine" to secure our surrounding region from outside interference. Spheres of influence are facts of life, and hostile outsiders venture into them at their own risk.
Nah
Get real....... Putin can’t be stopped.
He has presented a legal means for eventually acquiring territory that would rather be Russia than Ukraine
This is weak and woke Left BS.
Biden will have the Neville Chamberlain Sudetenland Appeasement around his neck for the next 3 years...
...and more importantly the midterms in November.
The assistant Democrats assist the Democrats.
“Donbas describes a region, not a political subdivision”
The two Donetsk and Luhansk are not political subdivisions, the political subdivision has been polled repeatedly and they vote both to not align with Russia and to stay part of Ukraine.
Any illegal referendum that the Russians host are illegal and irrelevant. They have to operate under official Ukraine election laws.
The Soviets/Russians lost the Cold War. Every country is their enslaved state to Russia, has bolted away from Russia. That voting by your feet tells you what Russia is suspected of and is.
Draft them and send to the front lines. Set up machine guns behind them and order them to attack and capture rifles from the enemy.
Yawn 🥱 Go find some other suckers to get on your crazy train for fixing other countries when our own is totally hosed 🤪
Liberals in 2022: "Let's go to war against Russia, a nuclear power, on the eastern front in winter!"
+1
Lol...Ukraine tore up its election laws in Fed 2014.
“All because we need to retake the eastern front of WWII.”
Our foreign policy is run by lunatics on a suicide mission.
I’ve never seen anything like it, its mind boggling.
“Trump 2024! America First!”
Well, then you NYP people need to get out there and stop them now!
