@Yrral, so are you saying Putin is dealing with an ungrateful snake here?

if he invade with 10 of thousand of dead

As in some sort of a zombie attack?

Macron is certainly beating Biden in the peace-maker role.

mutual support to a NATO ally

Which ally would that be?

That's why European leaders line up to visit Moscow for consultations?

“NATO is more vigorous today than it has probably been in the last 20 to 25 years."

The US should give Ukraine tough love ,like the Afghanistan people, lots of people in Ukraine are downplaying the conflict at their own peril

You mean they don't believe all the made up hysteria about the invasion?

Putin knows that he needs to make his move “ by the end of March “.

Didn't you see the post above where a commenter is saying Putin has been fighting in Ukraine since 2014?

I wonder what would happen if the nations surrounding Belarus simply closed their borders and airspace to them?

What is Russia closed its airspace in return?

The US has less than 1000 troops in Iraq and Syria each at the request of the respective governments.

You might want to check your facts

Quad grouping is focused on countering a rising Beijing

Fearsome foursome, aren't they

Chinese do not have the same education as people in the west have. There are major omissions and distortions that cause them to see our world very differently than others see it.

The Chinese can say the same thing about people in the west, can't they?

Two of the most disgusting leaders on earth..

Indeed. They can't even come close to the fine, honest, caring and highly ethical leaders of the west. I mean, just look at Boris, for example.

The hammer you hit others with eventually swings back and hits you as well.

That's deep. Almost like the boomerang thing, only deeper.

Chief Michel Moore of the Los Angeles Police Department said more money is important, but fully staffed federal law enforcement agencies would also make a big difference.

Indeed. Money is useless if you don't have officers on the streets.

How about sending those troops to help fight gun violence on the streets? Help out those poor police officers.

NATO unity

What unity? Watching how the NATO countries cannot make up their minds on anything is making him laugh.

I say Ukraine itself is none of the US business.

And you would be right.

which is the problem, why not against the pipeline?

Maybe because it's none of the US business? It's between Germany and Russia.

@DT, you don't know much about this whole thing with Ukraine, do ya?

That's some crazy advanced weaponry on those pics..

To add some reference: France is at more than 300k, India at more than 200k, US 180k.

In the event of sanction, the cost to Russian Fed must mean complete removal from SWIFT, high security network system connecting financial institutions around the world.

And then what? You think swift is the only way to process payments globally? Pretty naive. There will be more trade in yuan, euro, ruble, etc., meaning it will be a blow to the USD .

Who are they selling all these lies to? 84% of Americans don't even know where Ukraine is.

Ukraine wants to aline with the western countries instead of Russia because there will be more benefits from it.

Do the western countries want to align with Ukraine? I would ask Poland first.

I say that only because I'm tired of tyrants thinking they're omnipotent.

So let's start a nuclear war just because you feel like whining that the world isn't fair?

You gotta be kidding

Russia is totally justified in invading Ukraine

Is Russia invading?? When? You have any links to prove what you wrote?

What about Russia gathering troops at the ukrainian border ?

I know, right? And what about the US troops all over the world? Sheesh..

You mean the situation where they illegally annexed parts of Ukraine?

Wasn't it the same scenario as Kosovo? That one was all good and legit, right? Will of the people and all that jazz.
