You think they would have said this to Trump ?
Can I say I understand this demand w/out being a Putin lover?
I wish we still enforced our own Monroe Doctrine.
Putin needs to be removed from power, no matter how we do it.
The thought of nukes in Ukraine must scare the bejeebers out of Putin.
So that means the Baltic States, formerly part of the U.S.S.R., must be disarmed.
In other words remove your military bases so we can move in and reassemble the Soviet Union.
Someone wake up President Corn Pop and tell him there’s a war in Europe
My goodness, next week they'll be sailing up the Thames, telling the women over loudspeakers to wear kerchiefs or they'll nuke Manchester.
Is killing your child a worthy cost? Selling your wife into prostitution? It’s for world peace after all

Welcome to this century.
How long before Turkey cuts off the Black Sea?
Who were the ones that were against President Trump getting better relationships with Poland and Hungary? What was one of the “tools” they used?
It was the Democrats and their able bodied Assistant Democrats and they hated both countries because of how they, successfully, handled the muslim refugees. Especially by not taking any and telling the EU to pound salt up its a$$.
If I’m not mistaken both countries have offered to build bases for US troops. And President Trump was supportive of that, was he not.
It would have been nice to pack up our stuff in Germany and move it all.
Question:
How would we feel if China or Russia had short range nukes in Canada or Mexico?
