There isn't much that has been done right by the administration but sharing the learned intelligence and taking away any pretext of this being anything other than an invasion was actually a correct move.

Responding to the message in the tweet, that was a good move by the administration. Is Biden outsmarting Putin? No, But removing any pretext of this act by Russia as anything but an invasion does do some good - I.e. see protests in Moscow and St Petersburg

What will be the rationale next week when the CCP goes after Tiawan? The CCP has to be licking their chops.

Do you think Biden can stand up to enemies that have massive "dirt" on him and his Deep State Cabal pals?

If there is a next time, maybe state legislatures will remember to choose better, their Electors in this nuclear world.

Nope....dude is a loudmouth which can really turn people but he is also unpredictable which can be a strength in situations when your opponents don't know what or how to act

---

I disagree with this and the notion the Putin now sees weakness when he saw strength in Trump.

No, what I believe Putin saw and was the reason why he did nothing during the Trump Administration was because Trump campaigned in 2016 his desire to leave NATO and continued through his Presidency that he thought the US should leave NATO and if re-elected in 2020 would have continued to push for the US to leave NATO.

Basically, Putin was waiting to see if he'd get what he wanted without having to fire a shot.

I also do think Biden's withdrawal from Afghanistan signaled to Putin that there was now an opportunity to strike and Biden and his team ignored their own assessment of Putin in the effort to try and engage Putin back in May in an attempt to appease him and to try to keep Russia in a box. They were wrong in their geopolitical view of Russia

Just to be sure I understand you.....you think that Trump was going to do what Putin wanted him but, but when he realized that Trump was no longer president and wouldn't be president going into 2024 that since Trump didn't do what Putin wanted by leaving NATO he would go ahead and invade Ukraine? So your argument is that this is ultimately Trump's fault?


Looking at Putin's actions its pretty obvious that he doesn't care about NATO regardless of if the US is involved or not. Look at the "sanctions" that other countries in the world are putting on Russia. Even the US came out tonight and said that they didn't anticipate the flow of oil and energy from Russia to stop and would keep flowing as normal....even though that is the largest export for Russia. Italy and Germany have both come out looking for cutouts of the so called sanctions because it would negatively impact them.

Russia's ambassador to the UN was actually giving a speech to the UN security council when Russia started in on Ukraine.

Its pretty obvious that Putin didn't care enough about the US being in NATO to stop him from what is was doing, so why would he care if the US wasn't?

Destroy the evidence!

Trump threatened to pull out of NATO because no other country was giving their annual % of GDP. What happens is: Globalist will create a war, the world expects the US to be there for support (actually 90+% of the involvement).

All Trump wanted was for the European nations to pay their agreed upon amount when NATO was formed and participate accordingly. Most still haven't and now they have a war in their back yard. Yes, Ukraine is not part of NATO, so, if those countries in the Eurasian area fill threatened, then…

Sorry, not our problem!!!

Actually Cary, it is a problem for the US. If Putin goes after the Baltic states, that will kick in Article 5 and we will be compelled to act.

I'm pretty sure that we agreed to work with Ukraine in return for them giving up their nukes in the 90s. Guess that didn't stick?

Bingo! And aside from that, I love the Baltics, don't want to see them come to harm. I'm actually studying Lithuanian against the day I should make it over there some day.

There was never a promise to admit Ukraine into NATO. And yes, we are working with them, we are sending them aid and weapons. So I would say we are coming through on that promise.

No, but we did explicitly give guarantees of security to the Ukraine in the Budapest Memorandum on Security Assurances. The U.S. was a signatory to that Memorandum as well as Russia so the I see it, we just backstabbed the Ukraine, as much as Putin did.

It will not surprise many if he does try and unify the former Soviet Union. I get the NATO agreement. Putin gets the NATO agreement!

If he does (don't the Baltics have some type of Military or Financial arrangement with Russia), then that does present another issue, no doubt…

That said, right now, we have no arrangement with Ukraine. BTW, go look at the EU…. They've been working on getting the Ukraine in the union for awhile now…. Also, NATO brought Poland into its wings as well.

Remember, Regan said no one would be brought into NATO. Everybody broke its word with Russia. Now, I'm not appeasing Russia; rather pointing out a few facts!

That's exactly where this is going and it's pretty clear that this US administration isn't going to do anything physically to stop it from happening. I think Putin has figured that out already unfortunately. Pretty soon Xi has to decide that he needs to "get his" as well...

The US really has one strategic relationship that needs to be protected. That's Taiwan! When so many of the chips that are used in everything we use is made in Taiwan, then we have to support them. China makes a fair amount themselves and the US makes about 10%.

So, if China tries to unify the Asian countries, Taiwan has to be protected. If not, China can control the chip market and do what they want. Oh, and control the negotiations.

Look at the Eastern European countries! They are not aggressive on sanctions with Russia. Why? Oil! They do not have any negotiating power!

** when you're compromised, you're compromised.
-Ask the Biden Crime Family about it. China, Ukraine, Belarus, etc.
-Ask Mitch McConnell about it. China, etc.....ask Mitt Romney, ask Nancy Pelosi, etc.
-Ask our politicians and federal government bureaucrats that went to Epstein Island.....John Roberts, Bill Clinton...
- Ask your pompous arrogant Hollywood jerks who went to Epstein Island, there are many.

Do you think our federal government is truly the people's government? Who's interests have they truly looked out for since the assassination of JFK in 1963. Reagan had some success and Jimmy Carter had honorable intentions.......but how about the others? Why did the entire establishment come after Trump? Sure; the so-called Republican politicians didn't necessarily .........they simply looked the other way....playacted. .

Last time I checked it wasn't Republicans who eased sanctions after taking office. These idiots will stop at nothing

Just checking in here. Is Trump, and half the GOP, still bowing at the altar of Putin today?

Great post.

Lol it's so sad, they just can't help themselves. There's part of me that hopes he runs again and wins, would love to see their heads explode.

Ukraine gave up nukes in an agreement that Russia wouldn't attack.
