It’s that simple, is it?

Like our own American revolution.

Can’t. But Zelensky is more of a man than either Putin or Biden.

If Ukraine hangs on for a month and fights effectively, doubt it will actually happen but there might come to be a “Winston Churchill” brigade of paid foreign mercenaries and some volunteers from around the world willing to go to Ukraine and fight. But if they lose, their foreign passports won’t do them much good with the Russians.

Yes, Ukraine wants to be saved and then have Russia attacked by other countries.
Some game they are playing.

He is hiding in Germany I believe, asking other countries to fight Russians.

European citizens with combat experience are likely 90 - 100 years old.

US and European elites enticed Ukraine to join them.

So Ukraine looked west, Putin go mad, the elites took Ukraine’s money and ran, and the 44 million citizens of Ukraine are left to the whims of Putin subjugation.

Lol! He’s a comedian!

If he was a man he’d hold a proper election and give them a real president.

“Yes, Ukraine wants to be saved and then have Russia attacked by other countries.

Its a bad sign when Ukraine leaders are passing out weapons to civilians.

It tells me their military isn’t capable of defending their country.

All true. But the biggest elephant in the room is that they gave up their nuclear weapons after the USSR was dissolved, supposedly based on assurances from the US and others that their territorial integrity would be respected.

I’m not saying we should be honoring that agreement, just that Ukraine made a mistake in trusting us enough to give up their nukes.

Ex Pres. Poroshenko (who is under prosecution in Ukraine & went to Poland - typical politics for Ukraine, granted that the accusations may well have merit) came back from Poland and is actually leading a street militia.

The mother of all street interviews?

No one or even 3 countries together in Europe is capable of defending against Russia. That's why NATO exists.

Russia and her deployed Chechen mercenaries are on a specific military mission.

In 2014 the azov battallion, a special group of neonazis, under the Ukrainian army, were deployed to kill pro Russian separatists. In Odessa they burned alive a group of them in a trade building. #odessamassacre

Putin has said on video that he is searching for them, they have some video and pictures.
Ordinary citizens need not be worried.

Well having Chechens in your neighborhood is enough to be worried, but in general its a mission.
