“NATO hoped to degrade Russia”

*************

NATO was emboldened and bought into the Biden regime’s sanctions “strategy” which was supposed to bring Russia to its knees. How’d that work out? You don’t hear much about sanctions anymore.

Not really. The sanctions were always weak Democrat CYA and filled with loopholes. Biden’s favorite Moscow Oligarch bag woman and old Putin associate Elena Baturina has still not been sanctioned to this day.

We must not forget it was POTUS Trump who sanctioned the Nordstream2 and enraged German socialists and Putin. He put significant sanctions on Russia and Putin owned Biden lifted them.

This is what genocide looks like. Invading Russian Nazis erase entire Ukrainian cities and kill any Ukrainians who oppose them.

I see. When do you project there will be another coup against Putin’s fascist regime in Russia?

“The sanctions were always weak”

***********

But that’s not how the Biden administration portrayed them. They were being touted as powerful deterrents that would thwart Russian aggression.

While I respect the yearning to be free the sad truth is that most Ukes are one generation from being Russian anyway. When Russia takes over there will be a period of adjustment and then things will go back to normal.

War is good for arms and munition makers but all of our tax money will make no difference. We could have dumped our money down the crapper - same effect.

They never had enough men and they’ve lost most of what they had. That’s why they always want big weapons. They don’t need rifles, there’s no one left to arm.

Send in the women and the trans
——-
Only half correct. Sending woman yes, and now 17 year olds. Mercouris reports a 17 year old “ recruited” from the Ukie orphanages has been killed on the front. The Ukrainian obituary can be found on non- western corrupted Media.

…So now we have “ Zelensky’s Youth”, aka “ Hitler Youth”….the Ukie Banderites are still alive and well.

This is why you never listen to the US/Europe when they say they will save you.

I don’t think Putin owns Biden, I think he just leased him from the Chinese.

Don’t forget Megan C. must donate $100 to Free Republic if Russia hasn’t withdrawn “from the occupied territories by February 29, 2024.”

Maybe FR’s Rev. Mom and other propagandists can organize their friends and go over to join the front lines as fresh cannon fodder.

They are crazy enough to want our troops sent to Ukraine to die.

Actually, it’s been the Ukrainian military that has been targeting its own citizens or former citizens since 2014, the ones that were ethnically Russians and refused to go along with the 2014 coup WE fomented.
