I’m not falling for starting an international war to increase Biden’s poll numbers. Isn’t that what the secular socialists are trying to do?
They are afraid Joe will go all Corn Pop on their asses?
Mental masturbation.
I think it’s pretty clear, that someone is pulling Biden’s strings. Why else would we give up Belgram base in Afghanistan, only one hour away from China?
I think Biden will allow an invasion into Ukraine with little resistance.
U.S. Assistance to Ukraine -— US Embassy in Ukraine Overview
U.S. assistance to Ukraine since 2014 totals over $3.7 billion, plus three $1 billion sovereign loan guarantees.
For FY 2020, Congress has appropriated $698 million: $448 million for State/USAI programs and $250 million for USAI, including $50 million for lethal assistance.
The $448 million appropriation for State/USAI programs includes approximately $285 million in the development accounts and approximately $163 million in the security accounts.
To combat COVID, thus far the United States has provided over $26 million in assistance in new and redirected funding.
This funding will prepare laboratory systems, activate case-finding and event-based surveillance, support technical experts for response and preparedness, bolster risk communication, and support water, sanitation and hygiene interventions for the most vulnerable populations in eastern Ukraine.
Assistance will also counter disinformation, bolster media’s health reporting capacity, expand the government’s ability to continue operating under pandemic-related restrictions, and support Ukraine’s economic recovery.
U.S. assistance priorities:
Security: U.S. programs provide technical assistance, training, and equipment to the Ukrainian Armed Forces and security services to defend Ukraine’s territorial integrity and enhance border and internal security.
Countering Russian Aggression: U.S. assistance works to demonstrate the positive effects of national-level reforms for Ukraine, combat the spread of disinformation, and improve Ukraine’s commercial and energy linkages with Western economies.
Anti-Corruption and Rule of Law: Programs support law enforcement and justice sector reform and governance reforms to increase accountability and effectiveness of governance.
Energy Security: Programs improve Ukraine’s energy security by diversifying supply, establishing competitive markets, accelerating legal regulatory reforms to combat corruption, and ensuring compliance with EU standards and commitments.
Economic Growth: Programs support pro-growth reforms such as an improved land market, privatization, increased competition, and transparent corporate governance. U.S. assistance also supports the growth of small- and medium-sized enterprises.
Cybersecurity: Programs help Ukraine protect itself against Russian cyber-enabled attempts to destabilize it. This includes efforts to support Ukraine’s cyber strategy and legal framework, strengthen incident response capabilities, and harden critical infrastructure.
Humanitarian Assistance: Since the conflict began in 2014, the United States has provided nearly $246 million in humanitarian assistance to date for conflict-affected populations.
Assistance includes emergency shelter, provision and distribution of relief commodities, protection of children and the elderly, psychosocial support, water infrastructure repair, and livelihoods and business development support for internally displaced persons.
Election Support:Programs strengthen Ukraine’s election system; increase citizen participation; increase representativeness and responsiveness of political parties; support effective civic oversight; and promote issue-focused media coverage.
The United States is the largest contributor to OSCE’s Special Monitoring Mission, a comprehensive source of information on military and humanitarian developments in areas of eastern Ukraine controlled by Russia.
The United States supports the United Nations Human Rights Monitoring Mission in Ukraine, an important source of information and advocacy for human rights in Crimea and eastern Ukraine.

Maybe they’re just waiting for Biden to give then the go ahead which he probably just did.
Putin is not going to invade the Ukraine anymore than China is going to try to take back Taiwan. This stuff is all being used as subterfuge because the DS is being defeated by Trump and the Patriots. They are acting in desperation at this point because they are pretty much out of chess moves. We are in the end game.
The China Virus scare is fading. England just ended the ploy. The RATs need some other fear to highlight. It looks like Russia, Russia, Russia is back in play.
I read a newspaper article published just days before WWI. It said there could never be a war between the European powers because they were so interconnected by business. Such a war would be devastating to the economy.
Whether countries go to war has more to do with ego than reality. The leaders are just as nearsighted as any layman. Despite voluminous reports put together by knowledgeable fonctionnaires, leaders have the same narrowness of views as any rube off the street. Just because a war makes no sense doesn’t mean it won’t happen.
With the present president we don’t even know who has their finger on the button. It could be a Quisling bought and paid for by our countries’ enemies.
“If the State Department were run by Chinese agents”
From the article. It should read “Since the State Department is run by Chinese agents”
Well you can bet one thing: If there is no invasion, the MSM will be shouting that Biden’s ‘tough, plain talk’ scared Putin to the core and thus prevented the start of World War III.
I understand Amazon has a been emergency-stocking Throw-Up Pots. Order yours now!!!
Russia does not need another piece of Ukraine.
And wouldn't it be nice if our borders were so well protected.
They won’t invade; they will probably just annex the part they want. You know, a minor incursion, so to speak.
Hopefully Putin is reflecting that all those tanks, missiles, and drones are designed to rip apart human flesh. They purposely kill young men, make parents miserable and weaken Russia and Ukraine. It will deplete them of productive humans which is their most valuable asset. Redrawing lines on a map in this ancient region is simply not worth the cost and misery.
If they buy two more original works of art they’ll have enough punches on their Hunter Biden rewards card that they will qualify for a free Ukraine.
The USA is becoming a batshit-crazy banana republic armed with nukes, and a senile fool as POTUS.
We could stumble very easily into a shooting war with Russia that could go nuclear after they kick our asses conventionally in Europe.
A confused and raging Biden could order a nuclear launch, and forget he ordered it the next day.
Dangerous times.
Someone need to wake up and wash their sheets.
He who runs our country holds the pics of Biden and little girls.
Is Hunter’s contract with Burisma expired?
Not really buying any of this stuff.
There is very little need for Russia to invade Ukraine. And even if they do, its not a national security threat to the US.
China is not invading India (even China knows you don’t engage in a land war in Asia. Especially with folks as brutal as the Indian military.) China is not going to invade Taiwan either. There is no political or economic upside to that move.
And the US is not going to war with anyone either. After Afghanistan, I don’t think the people of the US would get behind any venture. And committing the US to anything before the mid terms would result in a shellacking the likes of which no one has ever seen. It would be the fall of the Biden administration in a vote of no confidence not seen since Nixon.
We seem to be in store for some economic woes. But we’ve been through that a dozen times. Although, social media will make it sound worse than the Great Depression.
Everyone needs to take a breath.
