Then retreat from Ukraine, you moron.
How do you feel about an American 🇺🇸 identity?
LOL
putin is a known liar
he says what he thinks will rouse the russian people against Ukraine
putin miscalculated. he thought no one would care if he took Ukraine...
The west is tearing itself apart just fine as it is.
“Putin Says West Aiming to ‘Tear Apart’ Russia”
He’s just stating what’s already being stated in Western publications.
The difference is, due to the continued Ukraine escalation, and statements from Western leaders, the Russian public now believes him.
Comrade Putin is doing a good job of that himself.
People can complain about Putin but I’ve heard talking head types over here saying they want to split Russia up into smaller countries. I doubt Putin isn’t unaware of western “think tanks” proposing such things
Pbbbbt! That’s nothing compared to what they are aiming to do to the West.
Democrats want to destroy Russia because it opposes the homosexual agenda of grooming children. That’s an unforgivable sin to the Left.
I have spent many a conversation trying to explain that ‘unification’ idea to others.
Most don’t get it.
Putin stands up to Biden more than anyone else in the world today.
When will folks here in the USA say “enough of this crap” it’s our country and Biden uses it for a urinal and the urinal block is the Constitution of the United States?
No, Pooty Poot, you are doing a fine job of that yourself
That is so very true.
There were no claims that the voting was unfair, and the newly-independent Ukraine was congratulated and recognized - within those same borders - by both Yeltsin, the head of the RSSR, and by Gorbachev of the USSR.
The inviolability of Ukraine's independence and within those same borders was expressly recognized by Russia again in the 1994 Budapest Memorandum.
Basically Putin wants to unwind his own country's prior legal actions and get a do-over so he can conquer a neighboring country. That's about as illegitimate as it gets.
Putin is thinking Catherine the Great, who was German by the way, conquered Ukraine; so, Ukraine is part of Russia.
In such manner, Argentina says the Pope drew a line and the Falkland Islands were on our side of that line.
This kind of thinking isn’t American. Americans think government rests on the consent of the governed.
To be sure, this consent of the governed thing is tricky. You can never get unanimity. And, each person being a government by himself doesn’t work. So, as a practical matter, the consent of the governed involves identifying groups of people and the places they are associated with. There’s room for disagreement about these things. But not with Putin.
We are now in a war in which Ukraine is proving on the battlefield that it doesn’t want to be part of Russia. Putin thinks this is because the Ukrainians have been brainwashed by the Nazi west. Therefore, the people of Ukraine have no say in the matter.
I submit that this is not Russia against Ukraine, it’s Russia against NATO. It always has been. A proxy war of superpowers, at our expense.
Let’s send more money, and weapons to Ukraine, so Democrats, and Republicans can launder more money, and Zelenskyy and his buddies can sell all those missiles on the black market. There really isn’t any need to monitor all this cash and military paraphernalia to see where it actually goes. We can trust them all. Their word is gold.
