NATO needs ‘visible’ counter to Russia threat via Belarus, Lithuania warns

Things have gone bad, very quickly

Yes I do, but then his nation was the one invaded.

I’m not here to sing the praises of Zelinski. My first
thought is the tens of thousands of dead Ukrainians, and the
millions who left the Ukraine as refugees.

Do you realize Lincoln made some pretty bold Constitutional
moves also?

The point is, Russia is not pristine in this. Say what
you want about the Ukraine, it’s hardly any worse than
Russia.

Putin has now been in the leadership position since 2004.
That’s 18 years or 4.5 presidential terms. He is not a
benevolent man.

I’d imagine the political parties in Russia are pretty
much neutered as well.

What Lithuania and the rest of the EU should be asking themselves: is NATO, and more specifically, the US, France or the UK, willing to risk nuclear war with Russia to keep possible Russian adventures in check?

And maybe means no.

If the feckless PedoClown_TheWhore regime has shown the world anything, it's that each nation is on its own and should be making its own accomodations with its neighbors.

The EU wants its cut, but isn't willing to risk outright civil unrest/chaos, just to kinda-sorta punish Russia.

The money-laundering operation known as The Ukraine is all over except the crying.

“so let’s try it again! We got plenty of lives to waste on the usual Euro-follies!”

U.S.Army recruiters are now failing to reach recruitment quotas by 50%.

How about a pretty multicolored flag to scare all the russians away?!

Regarding the core Russian expression of Stalinistic Communism through Putin has brought ys back to the days of the 19503 when cultures behind the Iron Curtain resisting the dominance of Moscow were militarily smothered.

In 1956 and later I was personally acquainted with people who crossed the bridge at Andau and never went back. Today Russian personalities are trying to reconstitute their empire that Gorbachev permitted to collapse. They need to be stopped, starting with Putin.

Reality check for the indoctrinated...

Ukrainian soldier complaining that locals “on Ukrainian territory” are not very happy to see AFU soldiers and put up Zs instead. He’s sarcastic about “fighting for them” & is worried about locals giving up AFU positions to the Russians.

VIDEO: “So guys that’s what you get for fighting for your f__king people. You walk on Ukrainian territory and here people you know what they’re telling you? Here (He points to a wall with grafitti covered with Zs.) Z f__k, f__king Z.

And they are waiting (for the Russians) And they are supporting them. And they are waiting. That’s what we get, F__k. You don’t know what else. They would f__king flip on you.

What could have been a regional conflict is now turning global because of the actions of the USA and NATO.

Let the EU deal with it. It’s their problem. Why can’t the US ever leave anything alone? Instead we make sure to be in the forefront of everything always making situations worse. The CIA is behind this guaranteed.

I don't understand why we continue to allow Europe to lead us around by the nose. This is a continuation of Europe's never-ending border wars in Eastern Europe .... it is their war, not ours.

Europe has bestowed upon this planet socialism, marxism, nazism, fascism, communism, modern globalism and two world wars.

Instead of trying to crawl back into the European womb, we should remember we were born to be different----born to be that shining city on a hill and the last best hope of all on Earth. We need to be Europe's counter-balance, not its willing accomplice. It's past time to cut the cord, and Ukraine is a perfect place to start.

Ukraine is not America's problem, not our step-child and her borders pose no geopolitical threat to us. Let Brussels figure out and fund the solution to their current self-inflicted problem. It is time for us to be free and independent of Europe for once and for all.

We have a country to save, and it isn't Ukraine.
