It's over. All of Europe and NATO are united against Putin's invaders. Time for them to go home.

[Skwor]

Maybe, of course they wait until it looks likely Ukraine will prevail. Cowards to the end as always.

[Chode]

his tantrum isn’t over yet...

[CondoleezzaProtege]

Kudos better late than never.

[Buttons12]

Because who needs your nasty oil anyway.

[stuck_in_new_orleans]

And now we wait for Putins response

[chiller]

Why advise Putin he better step it up before the calvary arrives ? Germany wants kudos, apparently, at the expense of Ukraine.

[rrrod]

This is a good thing.

[nbenyo]

The Germans are pathetic.

The Ukrainian were betrayed by everybody. They are doing this on their own. If they can pull this off, they will be the world’s heros.

[LuxAerterna]

Impressive for sure. I give credit where credit is due. Germany also needs to permanently close the Nordstream project, to be replaced by oil and gas production here in the USA.

[lodi90]

His response is going to be threaten nuclear war. Move his missiles around. He’s beaten and that is all he can do. He went a bridge too far. Classic military blunder.

[Buttons12]

It is our duty to do our best to help Ukraine defend against the invading army of Putin. That's why we're supplying 1,000 anti-tank weapons and 500 stinger missiles to our friends in the Ukraine," Scholz tweeted.

Nice, but if I got a valentine from someone so beholden to my mortal enemy, I'd open it very carefully.

[DarthVader]

There convoys carrying these weapons will get attacked and destroyed.

[lodi90]

The Germans may be pathetic but they are on board now. Now to finish the job and get the invaders out. They are already running out of gas and having commanders captured. It won’t be long.

[nbenyo]

I guess Putin is not so ingenious after all. He should just kill himself at this point.

[SoCal Pubbie]

How? They’ll come through via western Ukraine. No Ruskies there.

[DarthVader]

He will hypersonic them to death and conventionally. He has 4 variants fielded which can do speeds from Mach 3 to Mach 12. He has also been building this capability for over 10 years. NATO has no such capability.

[HighSierra5]

Yup. Pukin ain’t gonna like this chit. Be ready for his nasty response.

[DarthVader]

Via air power and cruise missile attacks from the Black Sea.

[lodi90]

Ukraine is the size of Texas. With their rear flank safe the now well equipped Ukrainians can simply advance east and eliminate the invaders from their land. It’s won’t be long. The Putinists will withdraw to Minsk borders ASAP. It’s all they can do.
