Sarah Palin ping.
Ya done good. The only reason the dems/msm are all wound up about the situation is that Ukraine is a cash cow for dems. That and they hate Putin for all the things on your list which is why we hear Russia, Russia, Russia.

I keep telling people that until we cut the throat of the media lie machine, we will keep getting elections manipulated by media lies which keep putting liberals into power.
Speaking as an old guy who grew up in the 60s to now, I don’t care anymore about Russia. In grade and high school, we were force fed fear almost daily about getting nuked and I am sick of it.
In my opinion, Putin had a lot of things going for him. You mentioned those. And he had a legitimate concern about NATO expanding.
But then he ordered an unprovoked invasion of a sovereign country. That far and away trumps everything I just said above. I now longer have anything good to say about Putin. He turned out to be a monster.
Obama was never eligible.
Both parties wanted the natural born citizen clause neutered, so much so that the GOP put up willing intentional Designated Losers to make sure he won.
You did pretty good!
Excellent article!
One day HE will spit us out like he did the Southern Tribe of Judah who would continually go from acting moral superior to Sodom like as they shoved their proverbial finger in GOD's eye.
Kind of a long vanity. I’ll take a stab here and there.
“When I think about it, I am always brought back to the reality of the way the United states has continually treated it’s allies. Consider this, we go from one extreme to the other, all depending on who our President is. “
***This was by DESIGN. Our founding fathers wanted power spread out among the 3 branches of guvmint, not too much landing in the president’s lap. So they gave him lotsa power over foreign policy because, at the time, one would send a message to some other country overseas saying “I don’t like you” and the response would be 6 weeks later “I don’t like you either” and it took MONTHS to go to war. Now it takes SECONDs.
I can’t help but wonder why I should care any more.
***Maybe you should take the time to think on both sides of the equation. All your thinking so far is on Russia’s side, not Ukraine’s side.
Seriously, can anyone truly blame Putin for caring more about his own country’s interests than the rest of the World’s interests?
***Seriously, can anyone truly blame Ukraine for caring more about their own country’s interests than the rest of the World’s interests?
To be quite honest, it is a natural, rational, logical thing to do.
***Then start thinking along those 2-sided lines instead of just 1-sided.
Or so one would think.
***Pablum expression.
unfortunately in today’s so-called Western Democracies of the World, we don’t have rational people running them.
***True. What can be done about it? Bringing the media back into balance, that’s one thing. Revoke section 230 protection on the internet, yank some FCC licenses until unbiased news is on those frequencies...
In the last 30 years or so, most of the leaders of Western Democracies have been, and still are, a bunch of idiots educated beyond their own intelligence.
***Yeah. So what is your point?
Could someone please point out to me which empires,
***Once again, you’re looking at this from only ONE angle: Russia’s. Look at it from Ukraine’s angle. Look at it from NATO’s angle. Look at it from USA’s angle.
or societies, in history willingly did things that were detrimental to the survival of their own society?
***I’m seeing commonalities in Ukrainian reluctance to join NATO with Taiwanese reluctance to declare independence from China. It’s probably simple hubris. They have a higher opinion of themselves than is warranted, and their enemies take advantage of that.
Now I would prefer Russia not annex Ukraine, but I would also have preferred we spent most our energy taking out the Taliban in Afghanistan than removing Saddam from power in Iraq.
***My approach would be to establish emBASEeees. In this case, Russia is the Taliban.
From my home page
I have been advocating for several years a policy I call ‘embaseees’. Embassy + AirBase —> EmBASEeees. We go into a terrorist country, clear out their taliban equivalent, then withdraw to very large Embassies, perhaps 3 of them. Have them big enough to encompass a military airbase where we can use it for decades on end to conduct anti-terrorism operations. As long as the ‘host’ country aint killing Americans then we let them have self-sovereignty. Kind of like how we operated in the Phillipines for decades. We could even have an intermediate zone that we patrol but it would be autonomous. Let them have their taste of freedom. A referendum every 10 years to see how large the boundaries of the intermediate autonomous zone should be.
Ditto!!!!!!
Why?
Look at all the places Putin has overtaken. He’s not stopping with Ukraine
