Fox news ^ | 02/24/2022 | Greg Norman

If anything he encouraged it by basically publicly proclaiming Putin would invade.

To the point where if Putin actually didn’t invade, he would come off looking weak. Joe gambled that Putin wouldn’t take the bait, and he lost.

[dfwgator]

When a person is compromised, there is little he can do but yield and do what he is told.

The Japanese have a better idea.

[gundog]

A lot of foreign mercenaries, and praised by many of the American left.

Brandon’s gifts to Putin triggered this. START treaty renewal, lifting sanctions on that pipeline, etc. Biden has been giving away the store and Putin thinks he can steal everything else he wants.

[FreedBird]

What is Biden the Town Crier? Does he have brain?

[mass55th]

The stolen election.

[Captain Peter Blood]

China is not going to do anything. They can take a long view and get Taiwan without firing a shot, even if takes another 50 years.

[Nifster]

Exactly

[dfwgator]

And seeing how Americans, at least on the surface, rejected a President who was standing up to them, and even portrayed him as being Putin’s friend.

[lodi90]

I would say killing Ukrainian neo-nazis like the Ukrainian Azov Battalion is a good thing.

Look up their battalion patch on a search engine. The Ukrainians wear the same Nazi emblems as the bastards my dad fought against in WW2.

Well, since they are “nazis” how about we just put them in ovens and be done with it?

How about Ukrainian kids and doctors? Is it a good thing to kill them, too? A bunch of them were alive yesterday and are dead today. I guess you got to break a few eggs to make a Russian omelet.

[Captain Peter Blood]

Yes they and also do not study any history

[dfwgator]

China will eventually buy out Taiwan, they’ll put their people on the boards of the Taiwanese companies.

[Nifster]

Well then you will be happy when Putin invades the Balkans too

[Captain Peter Blood]

Same thing. Study Russian history over the last 500 years and you would see what is going on.

[Captain Peter Blood]

That is correct. NATO was obsolete a long time ago.

[dfwgator]

I expect the Balkans to get hot very soon, Serbs and Croats are starting to go at it in Bosnia.

Although I think you meant the Baltics (Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia)

[Enough_Deceit]

My son is in the 82nd Airborne.

[Justa]

What triggered Putin?

Napoleon Bonaparte.

[Captain Peter Blood]

exactly, they take a pragmatic long view of things.

[JonPreston]

He sucks but I like him more than Biden, Clinton, Obama, Camel 🐫 Harris. You get the idea.
