It's amazing how many fools here believe the Biden regime when all it does is bluff and spew out lies.
You're a fool. Ukraine doesn't resemble a democracy. It's been one of the most corrupt nations in Europe, one whose oligarchs have laundered money back to the Bidens, Clintons and other corrupt politicians and their family members.
As Putin said some time ago -- compared to their critics, the Russians are "white, fluffy angels."
Apparently they really, really, really don’t want to be part of “New Russia”.

But the Eastern Donbass provinces do. When Vlad took back the Crimea, they experienced explosive growth, some 50 percent yoy growth. 380,000 Russians moved to Crimea. Many ethnic Russians were glad to shed the Ukie wide spread corruption.
The Biden connections to Ukraine made it REALLY EASY to figure out what side not to take.

I know what side I’ll take. Not the Russian side or the Uke side.
I’m on the US side. Forget Putin invading Ukraine. I’m more worried about how my country has been invaded.

Crimea’s growth in January-March 2019 was buoyed by construction and manufacturing, which grew by over 20 percent each, RBC cited research by the Institute for Complex Strategic Studies (ICSS) as saying.
Agriculture, retail and services in Crimea averaged 3 percent growth in January-March this year.
Construction in the Crimean port city of Sevastopol — Russia’s second-fastest growing economy — grew by almost 71 percent in January-March 2019, with agriculture, manufacturing, retail and services averaging 3.4 percent.
While Crimea and Sevastopol’s rapid growth means they are no longer the country’s poorest regions, they still rank near the bottom, Natalia Zubarevich, an expert in regional economics and a professor at Moscow State University, was quoted as saying.
“There’s an economic term called ‘base effect’ when, if your base is low, you grow faster; and when it’s high, [you grow] slower,” RBC quoted Zubarevich as saying. “It’s noticeable when you had nothing and it suddenly grows, especially with budget money.”
The Leningrad region — with construction up by 130 percent — came in as Russia’s third-fastest growing economy. The North Caucasus republics of Ingushetia and Chechnya grew at the fourth and fifth-fastest clips in January-March 2019.”

That’s 20 percent ( others cite 40 percent) year over year. The Ethnic Russian Crimea is reaping benefits under a Vlad that were non existent with the Ukies. The same will be when the Donbass provinces have their Independence from Ukraine recognized.
LOL, no We should have a wall with radar-guided chainguns.
It’s Biden’s handlers who’ll make the call. Not a lot of bravery there.
My, my...I wonder whose land was stolen to make a place for those 380,000 Russians. Sounds like "colonialism" to me.
Glad someone was able to back their bullshit with facts...now, about those 25,000 dead Russian soldiers....
“Putin was not bluffing. He was delusional. He actually thought the Russian army was still the juggernaut that it was from 1943-1945.
Old, stale politicians often become delusional regardless of their ideology or nationality.’
They haven’t forgotten rape, murder, looting, and vandalism.
Correct, if President Trump was in power the stupid Russians would never gave dared invade Ukraine.
The Ruski were afraid of the USA under Trump as they would have been stomped.
Putin and Soros are two sides of the same globalist evil.
Putin evil and soros evil.
Death to both of them
It is a bluff. Look at his failures in Ukraine
Perfessers?
Having trouble with the Latin script?
Russian schools turn out more idiots than in the USA. The best and brightest Russians leave that cesspit. No wonder Russia is so stupid
Slavs
Pooptin hasn’t got a successor in place. When he’s gone, Russia will fracture. And it will be Putin’s fault.
“guess the west is hell bent on fighting Vlad down to the last Ukrainian”
Ukrainians aren’t fighting for the west or for Zelensky.
Ukrainians are fighting for their homes and loved ones. They are fighting because they don’t want to be under Muscowy.
That is the good side.
Not all Slavs. Czechia, Slovakia, Poland, Croatia and Slovenia use the Latin script. Serbia uses both Latin and Cyrillic
Wishful thinking. There is probably a solid succession plan in place (they've learned from post-Stalin and post Gobachev), and Russia will be around for a long time, despite the demographic problems. Russia will look a lot different in 100 years, just as the US will look very different ethnically. We could have avoided all this crap by just being gracious victors in the cold war. This is no longer a unipolar world.
