War in Ukraine

Please, we're financially harming all Russians now. That's sort of the whole idea. I would love to see the wealthiest of Putin's buddies take the biggest hit. I guarantee you that their support of Putin a and willing capitulations have been a huge component of their wealth accumulation. If they denounce him and the actions of the country, then they're good.

Too bad dementia Joe sanctioned us first. Wonder how many barrels of oil he bought from Russia today. Evidently not enough as gas is as high as I’ve ever seen it.
 
First major Ukrainian city falls: Mayor of Kherson tells residents to follow the orders of Russian soldiers as US officials warn Putin is shifting towards a 'slow annihilation' of the country

  • Kherson, home to 290,000 people, 300 miles south of Kyiv, on Wednesday became the first major Ukrainian city to fall to Russian forces
The first major city in Ukraine has fallen to the Russians, the mayor confirmed on Wednesday, urging his residents on Facebook to obey 'armed people who came to the city's administration'.

The city is strategically important, sitting on an inlet of the Black Sea 260 miles west of the separatist enclave of Donetsk.

Volodymyr Zelensky, the Ukrainian president, issued a video address to the nation in the early hours of Thursday, giving an upbeat assessment of the war and calling on Ukrainians to keep up the resistance.

'We are a people who in a week have destroyed the plans of the enemy,' he said, in the clip posted on social media.

'They will have no peace here. They will have no food. They will have here not one quiet moment.'

He said the fighting is taking a toll on the morale of Russian soldiers, who 'go into grocery stores and try to find something to eat.'

Western officials have reportedly said they believe some of the young Russian troops do not want to fight and are sabotaging their vehicles, puncturing the gas tanks.

The capture of Kherson came as Western officials told CNN that they believe the Russian strategy is moving toward a 'slow annihilation' of the Ukrainian military.

They warned that the grinding pace of the conflict could see Russia resorting to the bombardment of cities and civilian targets.

Russia has lost roughly 3-5 percent of its tanks, aircraft, artillery and other military assets inside Ukraine, according to two US officials familiar with the latest intelligence.

Ukraine has lost roughly 10 percent of its capabilities, and they remain massively outgunned and outmanned.

He humble brags about popularity not being involved in his decision making while replying to a post acknowledging that he aligns with a group which contains the two most populous countries on the planet. His quest for truth also has him aligned with such beacons of truth, freedom, and family values as China, Iran, North Korea, Uganda, and Congo. Take a bow, Ras.
As opposed to your side, which includes the Saudis, British, Israelis, Pakistanis, Turks and... Chinese.
 
Did we go in and wipe Ukraine off the map or did we support Ukrainians in the country?
Not in Ukraine. We did to Ukraine what we did in Guatemala, Iran, Chile, Indonesia, Iraq,
and Libya. Us wiping people of the map was what happened in Syria, Afghanistan and Kosovo.
 
Certainly India too.

Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, India, Australia

Those are the big 5 that need to come together over there and present a unified Political, Economic, & Military front to the Chinese.

But Japan is the true Pacific Tiger - they need to lead.

We really need to support those countries, and form a new version of the old SEATO.

It's the only reason at this point to possess nuclear weapons. MAD.

A nuclear holocaust could still occur, but it would be because of an accident/misunderstanding. If a nuclear war was ever intentionally initiated, it would be in response to a false signal that the other side had launched.

One country giving up nukes is a lot like forcing honest citizens to turn in guns and expecting criminals not to use theirs.
 
Ann Coulter: If Only Putin Had Invaded Mexico…

As World War III looms in Europe, we must put narrow partisan differences aside and tap the brain power of the greatest minds among us. It is time for the Biden White House to call upon … Jared!

Speaking of the best and the brightest, our foreign policy mandarins must have felt like it was Christmas Day when a senile dementia patient became president. Finally! No meddling politicians to get in the way of our beautifully designed plans worked out at the Council on Foreign Relations. Although Joseph R. Biden is technically, in a strictly legal sense, “president,” it’s progressives running his domestic policy, and think-tank geniuses running his foreign policy.

Things are going great!

Let’s review the consistent position on Russia from our ruling class, informed by the whiz kids of international affairs.

I hope they sell all of these oligarchs sh*t and use the proceeds to rebuild Ukraine, assuming they manage to hold on.

We should take a lesson - lots of property bought by Russians in the US. And we could certainly do without the Russian Mafia. I haven't figured out why we allow foreigners to buy US property in the first place when so many countries don't allow outsiders to buy property there.
