What total BS. As far as gas prices go, we are now all supposed to go with the new narrative. It was all unicorns and rainbows until Putin caused all this inflation, gas price hikes and shortages. This is ALL you will hear about gas prices, inflation and Putin from now on. One thing Putin should get a Nobel Price for, he cured Covid!

Allow Biden and his puppeteers to claim they did something ‘serious and personal’ and make Putin laugh.

“And that makes them dangerous and that’s why we need NATO to keep these idiots on a leash.”

NATO is irrelevant to that equation.

Countries other than the US represent about 10% of NATO’s military power.

Trump would have kicked them off the way he sanctioned *any* company involved with Nordstream 2, even through EU purpose-made shell companies to evade those sanctions. That’s why it ground to a halt. The Krauts hated Trump because he overrode their objections to him kiboshing Nordstream 2. Biden’s cancellation of those sanctions was probably Putin’s way of gauging whether he’d do anything about an invasion of Ukraine.

The Krauts are big-time backstabbers with their longatanding Ostpolitik sucking up to Russia during the Cold War. That’s why Trump dragged the Krauts along like a petulant child while he lowered the boom on Russia repeatedly - exiting arms treaties where the Russians were cheating, sanctioning it, etc. Between the assassination of the Iranian General Solaimani and the destruction of a company of Russian mercs in Syria, something no other president would have done, I don’t see Putin rolling the dice in Ukraine if Trump had gotten a second term.

Biden is projecting. He thinks Putin will wet his pants.

Sanctions will do nothing.....further sanctions don’t stop tanks or planes in an oil rich country like Russia....while Ukraine’s population is lined up just to get their cars filled.

All the sanctioned target individuals and institutions have long been preparing for this. hey are well familiar with how the US and EU work it.

Trump tried to get NATO members to increase their strength by investing their required 2% of GDP…

NATO was more worried about opening their new $Billion headquarters.

C’mon man, you know...the thing!

They will either do nothing, or attempt to use some war crime to pull us into a war.

Well…Putin did get Trump elected.

Wasn’t strong enough in regards to elections in 2020, but is now powerful enough to destroy the US economically

Dementia Joe has already said US troops would not be involved so why move them? They would be better at the southern boarder.

If Russia invaded Germany it would simply be turnabout fair play.

In any case Germany, being one of the richest countries in the world, can defend itself, thank you.

“Countries other than the US represent about 10% of NATO’s military power.”

The USA has about 40% of NATO manpower, the other countries combined outnumber US forces by half again.
