They really are flailing about like a drowning, dangerous person.

They never figured their bullying wouldn’t work with Putin like so many others and are desperate. Losing total control of the outcome of their war on Russia was never considered.

I understand it for what it is: the last agonal breaths of a dying empire.

Katie, you know that when the Democrats accuse you of something to get ready because the Democrats are going to do it to you. You are correct. Neither George Soros’ disciples nor the disciples of Lying Joe Biden on Free Republic have been able to influence things in a meaningful way. Though they have been, to say the least obnoxious. In the end of the day, it is not our monkey. It is not our circus. They have been squabbling over there since Noah got off the Ark. One side will win this time. the other side will win next time. We have our hands full at our Southern Border. This is being neglected by design so that more wet backs and narcotics to be legalized slip past. And the people are like the Old Mother Duck, They don't give a quack. All the people wish to do is do the bidding of Lying Joe Biden and George Soros. The facts bear this out.

Exactly how did the West bully Putin? Its Putin that has been bullying neighboring countries nonstop. This pattern of stop-and-go escalation has been happening for years — Western tolerance of Russia’s 2008 invasion of Georgia set the stage for the 2014 annexation of Crimea and the 2014 war in Donbas, which then set the stage for Ukraine's invasion in 2022.
