War in Ukraine

[Rasputin_Vol]

Those are political issues, not military.

The politics drives the military. You can't separate the two.

 

[Rasputin_Vol]

I desire a military that strikes fear among anyone it faces and to use it anytime American interests are threatened. It is a voluntary assignment. If you sign up you need to anticipate being used.

What American interests are in Eastern Ukraine?

True. And we do have awful politicians.

Afghanistan was a debacle under 4 administrations. Getting out was always going to be messy. Biden was just the one who was there at the end.
Putin didn't make the move under Trump because Trump was undermining NATO. If Trump had 4 more years Putin could have probably taken Ukraine with a marching band. Actually he could probably have taken them and several other former Russian states.

I wonder if China will be emboldened to invade Taiwan based on what occurs here in Ukraine.

Wild. And unfortunate.

This is why they don’t let him speak.

Makes me wonder....does anyone feel that Russia will be some resource draining occupying force with an insurgent belligerent Ukrainian populace? No way Jose...this does not pass the sniff test.
We don't know 90% of this.

Putin wants the band back together that’s it. Everything doesn’t have to be such a vast conspiracy. Sometimes the truth is simple, Russia is a 2nd rate power trying to cling to what little influence it has in its former sphere by any means.

We could have crushed him by extending our NatGas production and export capabilities and quashing Nordstream. We chose to go a different direction and keep hope alive for him.
