War in Ukraine

[Rasputin_Vol]

He sided with AOC, Bernie Sanders, Luther, and Putin. It's an unforgivable sin

I chuckled.

Ukraine should want ties with Europe, but not want to be in the EU. Basically what the Brits did.

The EU political leadership is not good, but it sure beats "Have ties with us or we'll invade you" leadership from Putin.

So you're basically saying what I've been saying since winter of 2013/2014. The EU is too dysfunctional for them to gain anything by joining it. Their best bet would be independent and/or look eastward. The future is in Asia...

So your opinion isn't coming out of my keyboard. Got it. That's easy to understand.

It was me that your account encountered re: compatibility of socialism or social democracy with a constitutional republic.

And yours that implied McGill is playing some kind of role or mentally disturbed for stating energy prices are hurting people like himself and that this government is purposely trying to make the price of fossil fuels painful by undercutting them for unreliable and heavily subsidized 'green' energy; those are both true statements.

What did you mean by that? Has someone Joy-Reid'ed your account?

I think they just kicked russia out of the un. U.S. expels 12 Russian U.N. diplomats over security concerns

If only we could find a way to get the US kicked out of the UN...

 

[MontyPython]

If Ukraine is having to deploy from Poland that means Russia unfortunately has probably destroyed most, if not all, of Ukraine's airfields.

Yes they have. And alot of their planes.

But this prospect is more worrisome... flying out of Poland would infuriate Russia and they'd attack Poland and... whammy WWIII.

You all underestimate the what the un has. We can if we need to. We do not. We do not want to.

 

[Rasputin_Vol]

It's hard to say exactly. Something about him just pisses me off.
I'll give him this: He sticks to his guns.

I'm all for people minding their own business. Whether it is here at home or on the world stage.

So CNN says the Russkie column is now 40 miles long....coming to a head.

Going to take a lot of support to move a column that large.

 

[volfanhill]

Truth...

Where are pictures of the people of Ukraine you are also rooting against?

 

[Rasputin_Vol]

Couple of years ago all you Trump followers were advocating the disbanding of NATO and now it is a bad idea. Are you ever consistent?


It was a good idea then and it's a good idea now.

fyp

 

[DEFENDTHISHOUSE]

**** these traitors. Hang em like the Benedict Arnolds they are.

Hang them because you disagree with their opinions? Kinda extreme don’t you think?

 

[DEFENDTHISHOUSE]

So what did Ras do to invoke the ire of so many people on here?

Research.

if true 3/4 will be abandoned by the time it reaches it's destination. That would make sense, but I'm not watching. I already know what I'm looking at.

 

[AshG]

Research.

Careful with that word.

Seen that, imagining in my mind of an air attack that just goes through there and wiping it out. They’re like sitting ducks

I am having a difficult time believing they have a convoy 40 miles long. There is zero chance you could protect it with any kind of threat from the air

Me too. Sounds very fake newsy.

 

[Rasputin_Vol]

That's because you don't know where to look. NATO has worked perfectly since it's inception.

On this, we will agree...

'Keep the Russians out, the Americans in, and the Germans down': a potted and bloody history of Nato

'Keep the Russians out, the Americans in, and the Germans down' - those were the words of Nato’s first Secretary General, Lord Ismay, when explaining the aims behind the new military alliance (as it was then). Simple rhetoric it may well be, but Ismay’s words seem to be of haunting significance in the world we inhabit more than half a century later.

 

[AshG]

Next up: CNN says convoy is visible from space

 

[NCFisher]

HEAVY bombing in kyiv. Huge explosions. They took out the radar station. Putin is making his push, and the US says the Russians just stirred up a hornets nest. I think they just woke a sleeping giant in Ukraine. No ****.

We will NOT get directly involved because that is what Putin wants. He wants US in the fight. They way he can go "look see... I told you so!" We will NOT. And he has no excuse for nuking ANYTHING, so quit with the fear. It has become clear that We WILL NOT STRIKE. Even if he does first. We will go in and do this the hard way if he does.

If he were insane - and there's no indication he is - and attempted to launch nukes, I think the odds are much greater than not that he is taken out internally.

 

[IluvdoubleD's]

Putin and his general zod have a **** tone of armory they can dispose of and are experts at scare tactics. They are hoping to :

1: scare the **** out off the Ukrainians (and they probably would the Americans)

2: most of it is decoy and they will wind up marching the rest of the way in. guess what's going to happen then?

3: I absolutely believe they dropped a foab.

 

[Velo Vol]

And people bemoan how the dollar is becoming worthless . . .

Years in an institution???
