Classic, self-inflicted wounds.
They thought Ukraine would be the Slush fund forever.
Biden, Vindman, Kamala all work on stage, but are quickly exposed when the rubber meets the road. They were never designed to meet the road.

There are apparently not enough problems in the lives of average Americans right now, so we’re supposed to eagerly leap at the chance to stress over one that other people are having 5,000 miles away.
Hyperinflation unseen in decades, Latin America’s destitute pouring over the southern border, obscene levels of violent crime, and the ongoing struggle of parents to get their schools permanently open — all of that isn’t enough. President Joe Biden is ready to saddle us with more.
Speaking last week at the White House, Biden said the military conflict between Russia and Ukraine is now our burden to bear. “I will not pretend this will be painless,” he said. “There could be impact on our energy prices…”
You weren’t too bothered with high gas prices already, were you?
To be sure you heard him correctly, Biden said again on Tuesday that “defending freedom will have costs for us as well, here at home.”
And now Russia and Ukraine are all that the media are talking about, as if we aren’t separated by all of Western Europe and the entire Atlantic Ocean.
It’s not that Russia’s invasion of a small, fragile country doesn’t matter. It’s that Americans are supposed to feel anything but resentment over yet one more problem while enduring every other spirit-crushing entanglement either created or exacerbated by Democrats controlling Congress and the White House.
Was it not an option to first address all the murder, skyrocketing prices, and the endless COVIDiocy, and maybe then ask that we feel the Ukraine-Russia pinch?
Apparently not. A conflict in Eastern Europe that’s been going on for more than 30 years is something you’re supposed to consider just as important to your family as the soaring costs of groceries.
The Washington Post on Thursday did its damndest to explain why, exactly, getting in the business of Ukraine should be of utmost concern to all Americans, even though we would be “understandably” hesitant. “We already suffer from problems,” the paper said. Our interest is, however, according to the Post, “the peace and stability of Europe.”
That’s it. That’s the reason. If you aren’t overwhelmed with a sense of patriotism, an antsy readiness to feel more pain than you already do, well, the media don’t know what to tell you.
Again, “peace and stability” abroad is a good thing. The problem is that Biden and the rest of the Democratic Party have created multiple disasters in our own country and now we’re supposed to take on another nation’s chaos, too.
I’m sure you’re okay with that. You’ve been doing fine anyway.
Watching Biden...seems the press may not lie for him.
European wars always end up being our problem. That’s why people like me were so adamant that this war needed to be stopped before it started.
Now Putin’s forces will occupy Ukraine and damned few people are noticing that they also occupy Belarus and Moldova.
The map of Europe has been redrawn and Tsar Vlad has resurrected the USSR.
For all your huffing and puffing I notice you’re not en route to Ukraine to put your own ass in the cross hairs.

Whew, glad brandon didn’t announce he was gonna re-open the XL pipeline.....that was a close one.
How much more will Americans be willing to pay to support this incompetent boob?

“For all your huffing and puffing I notice you’re not en route to Ukraine to put your own ass in the cross hairs.”
And are you in turn going to go to Moscow to bow before Putin, kiss his ring, and swear your allegiance to him?
If not am I to expect you’ll be so gobsmacked at my clever riposte that you’ll never post on FR again?
Of course not.
Likewise your cute little posts do nothing for me.
But since it makes you feel like you’ve accomplished something then please, carry on.
It’s a deep state problem, not ours.
Lessen the pain as he tightens the screws.
What’s weird there are almost no on-the-ground reports of what Russia has taken, what they are trying to take, and where the Ukrainian Government is holding fast, if at all.
I guess 21st century on-demand media has made me impatient.
Its a war. There must be a front. Where is it?
For the MSM it is like Obama. It just happened to him. It is such a shame.
Look at the bright side. They won’t pay Biden 10% anymore.
Asks the Ukrainians and the US to wait a month
Lets Go Brandon!
Europe’s wars have been pushing borders back and forth for over a thousand years, and they never needed our help in doing it.
It was only 100 years ago that Woodrow Wilson stuck our nose in where it didn’t belong, and the American people have paid the price ever since.
While the USA was spending it’s treasure and blood protecting the Euros, the Euros were building wealth and at the same time complaining about us.
Time for them to step up and handle things themselves. America can and should sit this one out.
They probably think, from what biden and other say, they are all (including Ukraine) near us.
Let’s go Brandon!
