What does foreignpolicy.com have to say about America’s southern border being invaded on a daily basis while we’re being governed by marxists and a house plant, I wonder?
PUTIN: I’ll see your bid and raise you a NUCLEAR WAR!
(Do we really wanna play this game with a mad man? Why? Just to protect Biden’s criminal friends in Ukraine?)
From prayers to war, prayers to war. Sick stuff.
War Porn.
Braindead is playing solitaire with a deck of 51.
So many desire a war that will only end in the communist takeover of the US/EU and allies.
The enemy resides in Washington and China.
Pack is basically right about Putin’s motives and methods, but he doesn’t mention the central point: the idiot would have never tried it if Biden wasn’t President.
Weakness invites aggression, and Biden showed outright cowardice in Afghanistan, emboldening Putin to reach for the big banana of dominating Ukraine once again.
That it turned into a fiasco is merely luck and the determination of the ordinary people in Ukraine. Biden merely kept up the Trump policy of arming and supporting Ukraine materially.
Putin Bad. Soros Good.
Life is so simple for the simple-minded.
“It’s Time to Beat Putin at Poker and Call His Bluff”
What if it’s not a bluff?
He hasn't been behaving rationally for months now. He cares about our lives much less than he cares about the lives of Ukrainians and his own Russians, who he doesn't care about at all.
What could possibly go wrong?

Is there anything professional affirmative-action college perfessers who have never earned an honest dollar in their lives don’t know?
The West needs to let Putin punch himself out in Ukraine and then roll back Russian occupations in Georgia, and Transnistria while Russia is weak. Moldova should cede the East bank of the Nister to Ukraine, and it then might rejoin Romania, and thus gain entry into NATO and the EU. Ukraine would also be free to attack the Russian troops in Transnistria. The longer Putin fights a losing war, the more likely he is to be toppled, and Russia itself could fracture politically.
Beat Putin in poker without Trump?
I don’t think so.
Author probably never attended an inner city school or visited a third world country (similar experiences) or he would know that messing around with violent sociopathic persons is not the same as making a strong declarative statement in Debate Club at an Ivy League school.
If you can drop them in the dirt without warning you have a good chance of success. Otherwise, forget it.
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.
You people have lost all touch with reality. Nobody wants a nuclear war over Ukraine except you nut cases.
The article says that Biden is “centrist.” Huh?
Professor John Mearsheimer takes a contrarian position to this article, citing NATO’s continued expansion towards Russia as the reason for the war in Ukraine. Also, European Russia is geographically difficult to defend, because it is very flat, being a part of the Great European Plain. There are no natural barriers to an enemy, although the frigid winter weather can do the job.
In 1999, the Czech Republic, Hungary and Poland joined NATO, moving NATO 400 miles towards Russia. In 2004, Bulgaia, Estonia, Lithuania, Latvia, Romania, Slovakia and Slovenia became members. In 2008, the Bucharest Summit invited Albania and Croatia to join NATO. Decisions on Georgia and Ukraine were deferred until December. Both countries border on Russia. Russia finds it intolerable to have NATO members right on its border.
Dr. Measheimer thinks that this war will drag on.
I don’t think this bright boy knows what a bluff really is. Or what he is asking for.
No help now but if we had Trump in the WH Putin wouldn’t dare pull this crap. Biden is a gift to Putin.
