There is a very legitimate reason Ukraine has never been admitted to the EU OR NATO.
Putin is a war criminal and a terrorist.
Not our circus, not our monkeys.
No doubt the gas and oil are also why Putin captured those areas in 2014.
So Z is the BAD GUY because he is FIGHTING BACK and not letting Russia’s GANGSTER THUG invade and STEAL regions of his country that has oil wealth. WHAT AN EVIL DEVIL.
People are so screwed up in the head.
There was a tentative estimate of 250 BCM under Crimea. Usually less than half is recovered for gas. Less for oil.
So call if optimistically 200 bcm. This is about half of Israel’s Leviathon. It will flow at 23ish BCM/year. So Israel will have that for less than 20 years.
Crimea . . . less reserves. Maybe equal flow if someone is lucky. Call it 8 years, max.
There is no oil in the seperatist regions. Russia is right next door and would have horizontally extracted it years ago if it was there. It’s not.
Not our circus, not our monkeys.
Ok whatever. Regardless, you don’t kill people like pukin is doing. How would you like bombs raining down on your head and killing women and children?
I know they are both fecal-matter weasels, and no, Vlad did not checkmate Biden. In fact it appears that for all Putin’s machinations and vaunted brilliance, he may have succeeded ultimately in checkmating himself, by imagining that China will in the end leave Russia standing. Russia will be useful to China until it isn’t anymore, just like Ukraine was useful to China until it wasn’t anymore.
We are most likely in WW3, and the best way to end it would be for the U.S. and Russia to put aside their differences and for Russia to live up to its potential, rather than becoming China’s female dog.
Paging Humbegunner
Vlad the Invader attacked Ukraine and is now reducing its cities to rubble. Idiots saying there are no white hats, are idiots or worse shills.
We need to keep our eyes open. I expect very soon that various and sundry Russians will be on trial for crimes against humanity and that Putin will be branded a war criminal, which will probably result in peacekeeping troops (and may heaven help us all). At some point, though, this will be done, and when the dust settles we will need to be clear-eyed and understand that Ukraine is a very corrupt place.
Putin’s troll battalions are still going full blast!
“Not our circus, not our monkeys.”
Agreed.
Not one US life.
Not my kids.
Not yours.
This is a Greedy Bastard war for oil, gas and warm water ports.
Let the savages savage.
Nope, he's just the BAD GUY period.
Has he REALLY killed unarmed combatants or is that just more legacy media propaganda?
Why because we don’t want to go to war on behalf of the country that bribed the Bidens?
So easily manipulated, how embarrassing.
Great piece, he’s telling it like it is.
