Did we agree that Ukraine (and other former Warsaw Pact nations) wouldn’t join NATO? They insist we did, while some in the West insist with less conviction that maybe we didn’t.

The US has toppled governments of smaller neighbors to prevent them from falling under foreign influence; heck, we just killed a bunch of Iraqis for no reason at all. We bombed Serbia to keep a president’s sexual trysts off the front page, too.

If you choose to read my prayer again, I am praying for TAIWAN. I am also praying for the safety of the 200 CANADIAN TROOPS who are 'officially' in the Ukraine, and US forces in Ukraine. Who knows how many CANSOFCOM are 'in country'.

I am certainly not 'siding with Russia' in any way, shape, or form! That said, Trudeau is as dangerous to Canada, if not more so, than Putin is! One could perhaps, say the same thing about XiJinBiden!

How long before the Chicoms, Norks, and mullahs start their wars? With SloJo and Camella together being no smarter than a box of hammers, and the Deep State wrecking our economy, now seems like about the right time to set them off.

This certainly could be the start of the Ezekiel 38 war as well. Once done here Russia could join Iran moving on Israel m

It’s none of Russia’s business if Ukraine joins NATO or not.

You’re nuts to think that’s of any importance.

It’s nuts that NATO even exists.

Russia should join NATO.

It’s absurd. Russia isn’t the USSR trying to spread communism across the world anymore.

I can only hope the US has a plan besides starting WWIII in order to get around elections later this year..>>> A part of the plan by one of the bushes was to promise the US would defend the Ukraine from Russia if they gave away all their nukes. Well so much for that. Rule 1 don’t believe any US promise to defend you. 2. don’t much believe anything a bush says. I don’t expect Taiwan to last very much longer. How’s that CHIP supply and the new plant in ohio that might take a few years to build. And then CCP puts the screws to Japan. We promise to defend you Japan if China threatens you. OK thanks.

I agree that NATO is meaningless now in terms of anti-communism, but there are trade implications involved, as well as security concerns for Russia. If we had to fortify our border with Mexico as South Korea must with the North (or as Poland must with Belarus), we’d just topple the Mexican government for a buffer zone. We’ve already done that throughout Latin America (many times, over many years).

This is fake news to distract Americans from COVID tyranny, rampant inflation, and the continued outsourcing of our economy to Red China and other parts of Asia; a Russian conflict with Ukraine is meaningless to us.

What security concerns can Russia have from Nato now?

absolutely right, would we stand by for a Chinese base in Mexico? Nato got greedy and stupid and Ukraine will have to pay.

“Unfortunately you are almost certainly correct. The script has been written, they are just following through now.”

It’s really weird to be at the point to believe this, but it’s the only reasonable conclusion.

There are two ways this situation is bad news.

At one level we know, I mean we know someone or several someones unseen and unknown are really in charge. Brandon is a meat puppet, no more aware of what is going on around him than my dog. He can be trained, and he can do tricks, but he is not in charge. So bad news #1 is we have no idea what the entities really in control are planning. That they do not have the best interests of the US at heart is a given. They are out for their own gains.

At another level it is bad news even if you don't buy into the deep state, someone else is in control notion. Even if this is all just happenstance, random chance, we are affixed to the wall with a helical wound inclined plane... Brandon's illegal residency is in trouble. Lowest approval ratings of any (P)resident in modern history. An invasion across the southern border, inflation rates that haven't been seen in 40 years, rampant unemployment, supply chain issues, a cackling embarrassing hoe of a VP, the scam-demic and vaccine fiasco collapsing all around him, midterm elections coming up with polling looking dismal... The 'rat powers behind the throne need a distraction, quick. A war would be just the thing. So even if all this is just the world being it's usual 'effed up self, the powers behind Brandon may try to use it as a distraction. In that regard they will stick our nose in where we have no business being. They are going to get a lot of US service men and women killed or wounded merely for political theater in a (probably futile) attempt to retain power.

Ukrainian parliament member Alexa Garenchenko on FOX live now. It’s early morning there and he said airports and communications have been hit by rockets and aviation last night.

He then went on and asked the US institute a “a no- flight zone over all of the country”. Said they don’t need any help on the ground but can’t handle the Air-forces of Russia.

Hells no. I think that a sure fire path to a nuclear exchange. We shoot some of their planes down and they hit some air bases with long range rockets in Poland. Then we strike an armored column with A-10s in return. Then they drop a small tactical nuke on a big supply base in Germany…and so it goes. Next thing we know it’s Armageddon.

They could conceivably have to protect a border (and spend a ton doing it) that didn’t require it before. Again, if we had to protect one of our land borders because an immediate neighbor allowed ChiCom troops to be stationed there, we’d take action. We’ve done it before.

What is Russia doing on Ukraine’s border that Mexico hasn’t done on ours? The difference is that I’m sure more Americans are dead as a result - yet our government does nothing (while pretending I should care about Ukraine’s border). Our leaders are giving our country away, right in front of us, without even concealing it. They dare us to respond.

That’s my take.

About 7:15 PST tweets reported Russian Strategic Bombers were aloft. Where they are aimed is another issue.

IMHO, Russia will start with Ukraine, keep NATO busy in eastern Europe, and pickup other areas which are unopposed.

China will focus more on Taiwan and Japan, with assistance from Vietnam, N Korea towards other E Asian nations, possibly India.

US will face asymmetric warfare, invasion by illegal immigrants in the SW, with home invasions, and seismic activity, while facing a barrage of isolated attacks across a broad front.

Iran might promulgate weapons of mass destruction throughout terrorist networks and anybody opposing Israel. (in keeping with democratic socialist agendas)

Within 2 yrs Russia may be poised in Syria, to begin the fulfillment of Ez 38 prophecies. Within 2 yrs international financial systems may collapse providing the situation given in Ez 38.

Seems as though all the COVID-19 activity has been promoted to reduce any population trust in their governments, allowing an alternate New World Order to emerge.

RUSSIAN FORCES REPORTED LANDING IN ODESSA

Live webcams from Odessa don't show much going on. Certainly no invasion.

Nowhere, probably. Like a sub, their safety is in their native element.
