There's insanity in action.

We did have a ship in the area...maybe a couple...and scooted them out of there when the attack was imminent.

All of you that said Ukraine was of no strategic import, we have a situation where Europe can’t feed itself and has no fuel. What idiots they are in general (the Europeans).

Whenever you meet Europeans and mention the chance of Russia or China starting a war, they always look at you like you’re a fool and tell you that’s not going to happen.

It must be fun living in a fantasy world where you have no ability to defend yourself from belligerent superpowers, and you treat the one country keeping you afloat like a bunch of lunatics.

Did they ask Biden to remove the Ukrainian mines free-floating in the Black Sea, or are we still in Daily Mail mode in saying that the Russians won’t allow access to (remaining) Ukrainian ports?

Over the top, boys!

"..NATO allies regard U.S. naval power as an essential component of the
prospective operation.."

I suggest the nato stuffed shirts shove it up where the sun doesn't shine.

Every nutjob and moron in the world is in charge. This would be a National Lampoon movie if it didn’t suck so much.

President Joe Biden's administration has contemplated the lifting of sanctions on Belarusian dictator Alexander Lukashenko’s regime

I've said it before these sanctions have hurt the US and Europe more than Russia and Belarus. The Ruble has recovered and Russia and China both have unlimited supplies of oil, wheat, and many other natural resources.

I'd not be surprised if Lukashenko asked the sanctions not be lifted. They appear to be strengthening their economies.

And as a side note who needs McDonalds. Russia's heath czar is probably glad they are gone.

Biden pressured to lead naval operation against Ukraine blockade to avert famine

So my question is "What would Reagan do?" or "What did Reagan do?"

Navy Escorts Ship Through Persian Gulf

The link above is from May 27, 1987.

Why have a navy if you aren't going to use them?

[Leaning Right]

So Biden is thinking about breaking the Russian naval blockade. Well, somebody has to post it:

[HighSierra5]

The Black Sea is a trap.

[silverleaf]

“other members of NATO have a growing interest in a maritime operation to challenge that blockade”

Hail Britannia
Britannia rules the waves…

In a long past world some yearn to recreate, perhaps

Washington DC is in a permanent state of insanity and increasingly aggressive.

[Alas Babylon!]

Will Turkey allow transit of US or UK naval vessels through the Dardanelles for this purpose?

[Jumper]

NATO wants expanded war. The first Marshall Plan make European socialism possible. I am no fan of war yet some small part of me can see European capital cities and major US cities reduced to a smoldering mass as they force Russia to unleash the promised response. We being NATO were warned. F Joe Biden.
