The US is the main cause of all the problems in the world! They have been spreading rumors about the invasion rather than being more diplomatic and trying to assist reach common ground between Russia and Ukraine. The US can’t even fix their own political system ( Trump still going around spreading lies, coup conspirators walk free, Democrats and Republicans fighting day and night without thinking of ways to reach middle ground for the benefit of Americans as a whole ). Come 2024 The US will be a mess as a civil war is highly likely!

Trump still going around spreading lies

Odd choice for your first example seeing how there was no new wars under him and yet Biden is losing his way to WWIII.

coup conspirators walk free

You also might wanna check something other than the MSM and the new revelations of Durhams investigation. It seems you have the wrong folks for coup conspirators.

Special Counsel John Durham revealed in a court filing that the Hillary Clinton campaign plotted to infiltrate the Trump campaign along with White House computer servers in order to fabricate allegations of Russian collusion.

Not looking good at all - and all brought on by that evil warmonger, Lil' Putin.

You dont assemble 130,000 troops on a regional border flashpoint for a picnic.

All the best to the Ukrainians. The free world has your back.

Diplomatic staff pulled out, embassies closed, flights into the country cancelled.

Prudent to get unarmed civilians out of harms way.

We know that the Russians shoot down passenger jets, so any airline flying anywhere near that area is reckless in the extreme.

The largest military built up since WW2 is in fact a bluff?

Good luck with that, the global community hope it is too.

That is until Putin gives the order to invade, when Putin is convinced the western governments refuse to appease him.

*Four Feathers* Marcon withstanding.

Other than an invasion, what excuse does Russia have in surrounding Ukraine on three sides with over 100,000 troops. Free hot coffee and Medovik being served at all border towns?

Anyone else think it's weird that the Biden administration is pushing this invasion 24/7 while the Ukrainians themselves are telling people to chill out?

There’s proof right there.

“American citizens should leave. … Leave now,” Biden told NBC News’ Lester Holt on Thursday night. “We’re dealing with one of the largest armies in the world. This is a very different situation, and things could go crazy quickly.”

Why tell Americans to leave if your so sure nothing will happen?

oh no, he didnt just ask Blinken and Jake Sullivan and Biden to actually PROVE something?

wow, I like this guy more and more.

“We feel it,” Zelensky said in reference to the “effective support” from the U.S. and NATO allies. “And we hope that, among other things, it will help prevent the spread of panic.”

Ukraine president asks for evidence on new invasion warnings

Why ask? He is a politician, I am sure he knows exactly what’s going on.

All empires tend to end in farce. The Empire on Which the Sun Never Sets is no exception:

The UK will remove all of its troops from Ukraine amid fears that Russia could invade its neighbor, Britain’s armed forces minister, James Heappey, said on Saturday. “All of them will be withdrawn,” Heappey told BBC Radio 4’s Today show. “There will be no British troops in Ukraine if there is to be a conflict there.”

One wonders what the victors of the Crimean War would have made of such an ignominious and farcical series of maneuvers on the part of the British Armed Forces.

That said, the heir to that fallen empire, the Imperial USA, shouldn’t laugh too hard, after its own debacles in Vietnam, Iraq and Afghanistan. The end of the US empire is already in sight.

That particular empire (the Habsburg) has been gone for well over four hundred years....

Other than an invasion, what excuse does Russia have in surrounding Ukraine on three sides with over 100,000 troops.

According to the Russians themselves, it's as a result of even larger military build ups on their western border. Any attack will be repulsed and then some but they aren't going to start it.

you would have been screaming about turning Iran in to a parking lot.

I’m not and never been anti-Iran. So maybe it’d be a good idea not to lump everything into right or left like too many do.

If you have to ask this question you might wanna pick up a history book. Or maybe do a Google search on Donbass.

wow, stating the obvious is unpopular today

Posting own views and opinions not supported by facts is never popular, not only today.

An obvious scam by the White House. Even the nation that is "going to be attacked" is saying chill out on the hyperbole.

Biden made America (and himself) look incompetent and weak when leaving Afghanistan. Now they are playing a dangerous game to improve his reputation - so what if thousands or even millions may die?

When Russia doesn't invade, as they have said, Biden will claim that his blustering scared them off. If the US causes some incident and they do invade, Biden can claim "I told you so." He is risking nuclear war just to get the Democrats' poll numbers up. And to think they said Trump was dangerous.

Ukraine president asks for evidence on new invasion warnings:

What is the evidence for?

Warning after warning, this is what people sitting comfortably in couches would do everyday.

They find it very enjoyable to see people in fear..

It’s like your house is in flames, you can smell smoke and you’re asking, “Where’s the fire?”

Everyone is aware of imminent attack and war between Russia and Ukraine - except Russia and Ukraine.

All the best to the Ukrainians. The free world has your back.

The economy of the Ukraine is smaller than the Ukranian Soviet Socialist Republic in 1991 and smaller that the Ukranian economy at the time of the coup 8 years ago. Kazakhstan with a population around half the size has a larger economy than the Ukraine.

The 'free world' has Ukraines back when neo-Nazis are running wild threatening war with Russia but not so much when it comes to economic aid.
