Biden Trips Over Kamala and Strays So Far From Reality on Ukraine, Even Reporters Call Him Out

"Chief among them was this remark that jumped out to many: that “no one expected sanctions would prevent anything.”

Funny how the senile old fuck even hung his Vice-President out to dry. He probably just forgot his previous days talking points............ it's the Alzheimers.
I don't think he really runs the show. He might be the talking head they bring out occasionally but I don't think he's the man in charge. But yeah, these sanctions are a joke and an insult to any rational person. They are going to weaken the US dollar and push Russia further East. Another brilliant foreign strategy on display.

NATO has been expanding, Russia is reacting to this expansion by looking after its own interests (like Crimea, for instance).

NATOs expansion is a result of Russian aggression time and time again. NATOs expansion doesn’t involve genocide, war crimes, or taking over sovereign countries. That’s the difference.

Russia isn’t going to like the outcome of this. They will some day soon have NATO bases and troops on their borders directly.

And what about the 44 million people in Ukraine? They're almost a third of Russia's population. Or do they not matter here?
They matter. Unlike the West, Russia is not droning them or dropping MOABs on them and then apologizing for killing them. The West clearly has no right to lecture anyone about human rights or how to conduct a war.

the plot thickens...from what was posted earlier than this quote, about conscripts sort of surrendering and claiming similar things--not really knowing that they were actually in Ukraine when captured. Not sure if it's based on this same video (could very well be, right? only...20ish hours of actual war time to even gather information at this point) things spread so quickly.

this is quite impressive, still, how fast this is coming out, all of this info at the very start of a war...from a country that shouldn't have information streams coming out like this (if their invaders were as capable as they promised the world that they are).


BUT--things move quickly. Tomorrow will be a very bad day, I hate to presume. Lo, I do.

:(

For fucks sake Russia has regularly committed war crimes and have regularly killed and targeted civilians. You are completely glossing over Russias brutal escapades over the past 20 odd years.

Relatively speaking, much less than the West. Much, much less. Facts and figures matter.

2008 Georgia was Putin's own interest...?!

Fuck off, Bozo.
That's like saying Russia is building a military base in Mexico and then asking why is the US bombing Mexico. Georgia is within Russia's strategic and national security interests. Strategic and national security interests, fuckface. You morons can't think beyond the mainstream media headlines. Only thinking your country's interests. Other countries have their own interests. All that brainwashing has got to your reasoning abilities, has it not? Always parroting mainstream media talking points.

What threat is NATO to Russia? None
Why would holding ukraine matter anyway if NATO in its current form chose to attack? It wouldn't.

Do you have any thoughts about the multiple Russian captives that say they didn’t know they were attacking Ukraine? To me that’s hard to believe in the sense that you can’t have a comprehensive battle plan without your soldiers at least knowing the basic idea.

As one report said earlier that many conscripts in the stacked border force were rushed out of Russia's version of Basic Training, as recently as December 20th of this last year, it would kind of follow that the majority of Putin's ~40% total force that he actually used today for the first push..were just meat shields he was sending out to "test the fences."

Don't you think?

Call me whatever other name you want, who cares. You're going to call me a Nazi next, right? If you don't go along with the regularly scheduled program, you're a traitor. Haha. You people are funny.

Retards here have been brainwashed by the media. They cannot think about other people's concerns. It's all about Western demands. Well, the decline of the West has started and it is actually accelerating unless they change their imperialist ways. The world is leaving them behind.
For most of your asinine posting history I considered you to be just one more stupid American fascist. Now I'm leaning toward stupid Chinese fascist.

Did you ever ask yourself why Russia’s neighbors want to join NATO and the US’s neighbors don’t want to ally with Russia?

Maybe use your exceptional reasoning abilities and tell us that one. Lol.

According to Russia, NATO poses a huge security threat. According to the Western propaganda, NATO is like a peacekeeping force, rofl.

Considering the geography or Ukraine, Russia has a valid point. History has shown this.

Very likely, distraction force combined with special forces to capture the airfield, which Ukraine rightly identified as the priority target. This morning/tomorrow will be the real test. I hope the rockets rain down like hailstones on Russian armor.

Typical leftist argument/response. Jibberish. You might as well not have even responded if you're going to post this stupidly. What's next, you're going to call me a Nazi or a racist? You people are predictable. I think you might be the real bots, lol. Western-propaganda brainwashed bots.

Said trumpboy fucktard Putin loving fucker carlson neonazi ass licking retarded sociopath.

Go play Russian Roulette with a semi please.
Why did your country (Germany) refuse to apply stricter sanctions against Russia?


Those sanctions would really hurt Putin and Russia and could possibly end this invasion earlier. So why did you Germans not support stronger sanctions to stop this invasion?

I'll roll with it because I get where you're coming from, but it would be more like an oppressive US government invading (not just bombing) a recently freed democratic Mexico.

Actually the US could have done with Cuba. But instead they just sanctioned the shit out of them.
