War in Ukraine

[Burhead]

Lots of videos/pictures showing equipment and vehicles painted with white Zs. I'm assuming its some sort of IFF symbol but I'll leave that for the military folks on here to say for sure.

Who is the current leader of Russia with a nostalgic love for the good ole days?

Putin is the Russian leader. You also have to put his words into the proper context. He did say the worst thing to happen to Russia was the breaking up of the Soviet Union. But that was said because he wanted to re-establish Communist rule or expand into these other areas. It was the realization that economically and militarily, Russia would be in a far better place. They would not suffer from the detrimental consequences of Western sanctions as much if they had more trading partners within their realm and they (meaning the Russian heartland) would have been able to maintain buffer states between it and Western Europe/NATO.

Putin begins and ends with non starters. Putin is so afraid of Western Europe that he wants to get closer to them. Makes sense.

NATO is the main one with the biggest non-starter of them all which is the topic of not admitting Ukraine.

 

[Rasputin_Vol]

So wait, Russian military vehicles moving in Russia?

Which are getting closer and closer to the border and under cover of darkness...

Which are getting closer and closer to the border and under cover of darkness...

But they're in Russia, right?

 

[headhunter15]

Apologies! See I’ve been beaten!

 

[Rasputin_Vol]

LOL, and what is this "cover of night" nonsense? Satellites can see it all. What special strategic advantage would moving at night offer?

Why should they come out and bar Ukraine?

Why should they come out and bar Ukraine?

To maintain the peace. It is an easy concession to make... assuming the Europeans want peace.

Zombie patrol, I'm guessing.

You assume that would indeed do the trick.

I'm calling it first, Russia never invades Ukraine just to make the US look stupid.

 

[JOEY'S ALL VOL !!!]

Have you seen who occupies the White House these days ? America can’t look any more stupid than it already does.

 

[DuckInAPen]

When Russia runs roughshod over Europe, we’ll see how advantageously that works out for the US.

We have treaty allies in Europe, and we will defend those allies. Ukraine is not our ally.

But I heard the first son crackhead has business ties to Ukraine. Biden Sr may launch a nuke to protect the family crack pipe fortune.

 

[DuckInAPen]

We don’t have a conscripted army.

We have fellow citizens who have volunteered their lives to defend America. We have the utmost obligation to them not to send them into harm's way without urgent need. The calculus should be no different than if we had an army of conscripts.

 

[DuckInAPen]

Had FDR listened to the America First boneheads on this site, we'd all be speaking German.

It's not always 1939. Not every adversary is the next Hitler. In any case, no one is talking about shrinking from a war declared on us.

Is there any indication that Putin actually wants to invade the rest of Europe?

I keep seeing that thought thrown out there, but I want to know the evidence for that claim.

 

[Rasputin_Vol]

You assume that would indeed do the trick.

You never know unless you try.

 

[DuckInAPen]

You do realize that it was the French Naval blockade that helped us win the Revolutionary War. Mhhm.

I do indeed realize that. The French helped us in pursuit of their own interests. We have returned the favor, and we will defend them again should the need arise, since they are our treat ally. Ukraine is not our ally.

 

[Rasputin_Vol]

Is there any indication that Putin actually wants to invade the rest of Europe?

I keep seeing that thought thrown out there, but I want to know the evidence for that claim.

The only indication is that he is Russian, therefore, he is a communist.

Conversely, why does Putin think the US/NATO is a threat in Ukraine? Surely he’s kidding himself if he thinks anyone is interested in dealing with 150 million Vodka soaked Ruskies.

Liberals Attack Evangelical Pastor Franklin Graham For Praying For Putin, That War ‘Could Be Avoided At All Cost’

Feb 19, 2022 DailyWire.com

Liberals on Twitter attacked prominent evangelist Franklin Graham after he asked his followers to pray that war between Russia and Ukraine would be avoided.

“Pray for President Putin today. This may sound like a strange request, but we need to pray that God would work in his heart so that war could be avoided at all cost,” Graham wrote. “May God give wisdom to the leaders involved in these talks & negotiations, as well as those advising them.”

Conversely, why does Putin think the US/NATO is a threat in Ukraine?

He believes that the US/NATO want to move in military assets to Ukraine and be a threat to Russia. And the reason why he believes that is because after the fall of the Soviet Union, instead of NATO getting smaller or disbanding, NATO moved closer to Russia's doorstep.
