    Ukraine is important because of our military basis there. They are within missile range of China. If Russia takes Ukraine, then China has little threat to take Taiwan.

    The Ukrainians have the goods on Joe Crackpipe. He didn’t give a shit about them when Barry was his boss. Now we’re told Democracy is in peril if we don’t jump in. Ukraine isn’t a democracy. FWIW.

    It is, actually. Imagine my surprise at you saying otherwise, Boris.
    Wrong, again. At best, it's loosely a parliamentary republic, where the President is just this side of dictator. Even if Ukraine called its government a democracy (which it doesn't), that's in name only.

    Finally, preemptive fuck off before you go full-on CNNtard: I'm married to a Ukrainian and speak with people that live/lived there on a daily basis.

    Huh? Submarines do that role better.

    What still frosts my ass is that Germany has an economy 3 times that of Russia, the UK 2 times and France almost twice as large also. Why the phuck is the Ukraine our problem? Let the Euros deal with it.

    We have alliances with “the Euros”.

    It was in all the newspapers.
    I’m sure this has already been tossed but when the fuck did Ukraine joint NATO?

    Biden gave Putin the invitation with his absurd “just the tip” comments.

    Putin obliged the old fuck, knowing that Joe has no recourse one way or the other, but it remains extremely dubious that he really wants to take that bite.

    And now everyone is talking about what are we gonna do when Russia invades a country that isn’t a part of our treaty and doesn’t think it’s gonna happen anyway instead of talking about our southern border, crippling inflation, and China-exported Covid.

    This is a win for Biden, a win for Putin, a win for China, and a loss for anyone who gives a shit about what’s happening within and around our borders.

    War drums….LMAO. We gave Vlad his pipeline and cut our own balls off in the process. Don’t give me that shit about war drums.

    Because Europe has a strong track record when shit hits the fan?

    The only reason we have to defend Ukraine is that we forbid them pursuing Nukes with the promise that we would have their backs should Russia invade them.

    Methinks, when the USSR broke apart, Ukraine had some nuclear weapons of the USSR still in their newly established country.

    Ukraine transferred the nukes out of their country to the USSR with NATO and our promise that we would come to their aid if they were attacked by Russia.

    Ask yourselves one question and one question only: Do you believe that biden or anyone associated with him and this fucked up administration is capable of leading us in a war?

    My understanding is they gave up the nukes in exchange for diplomatic recognition from the US and NATO countries. Not a defensive pact or anything like that.

    Are you all talking about Ukraine instead of Biden at home and the trucker convoy that left this am?


    That's the point.

    Front of Seattle Times today says Biden wants a summit with Putin. Trying to look presidential and to be the hero. USA is a fucking laughingstock.
    Ah yes the old obama gift of persuasion. He had his lunch eaten so many times that at the end of his term even BO didn't believe he himself was some gifted negotiator.

    Biden was the joke of the Whitehouse staff for 8 years, now the arrogant corrupt non-thinker is going to call for a meeting with putin. Classic!

    Putin will obviously cower as Biden’s aides wipe mashed peas off his chin

    The summit coordinated by other nations, that one?
