Leftists love starting war. seeing things through to their conclusion, favorable or otherwise, not so much. That's why there are Republicans - someone has to clean up the messes that lefties make.
“Kamala Harris wasn’t able to dissuade Putin. Gee, what a surprise.”
It’s the opposite. She did persuade him.
Yeah, Putin was impressed. Just not in the way intended.
“Russian President Vladimir Putin announced that Russia is undertaking a “special military operation” in Ukraine saying his goal is to demilitarize and denazify the country but not occupy it.”

I have the feeling he is of the mentality, what’s left of it, that every POTUS should get a war/conflict, as that has been that way the most of history, and will do something to escalate it thinking it will make people worship him.
Will it be air strikes, boots on the ground? Who knows. His sanctions haven’t made a difference.
I hate to say it, but boots on the ground, that results in a US casualty is likely the best outcome that will galvanize the majority of the US population to really turn aganist him and not escalate it too much military wise.

He’s not going to invade the rest of country I wouldn’t think; just destroy their ability to fight if they challenges them in Donbas. Same thing happened in Georgia; the Russians decimated their military whenGeorgia tried to defend South Ossetia and Abkhazia.
He’s a liberal but not quite as bad as the lame stream media.
He tries his best to stay objective and the mods try to quash any political attacks from both sides, but he still refers to Twitter a lot and usually ignores all conservative leaning outlets except Fox and Newsmax.
There are neo-Nazi fringe groups in Ukraine, but in Russia as well, and several Western European countries too.
