Their rationalization as to why Putin wouldn't invade Ukraine while Trump was in office, considering he's a Russian stooge/puppet/asset/lover, was especially hilarious.

maybe not… It’s hard to ignore all the action in Ukraine and there a a couple patterns.

 

we know Biden has been getting paid off for almost a decade by Ukraine.  He was on the record actively pushing for governmental changes long ago. 

 

we know trump was trying to expose the Biden corruption in Ukraine which Ukraine resisted… that is what the whole phone call was about… it led to one of his 700 indictments (this in the form of impeachment) 

 

Crimea invasion was during Obama when Joe was vp and on the take, then the massing of troops started as Joe took the Whitehouse and then the inevitable invasion which Joe almost provoked. 
 

maybe trump was considered a friendly to the Kremlin and Putin specifically and Joe being bought by Ukraine has something to do with all of this. 
 

it’s impossible these things are all disconnected.

Yeah, it's pretty ***** possible.  Like, it's the only real possibility.  Are you saying former VP Biden was working behind the scenes to install a comedian as president of Ukraine?   
 

Mastermind, or senile... hmmmmm

This is incorrect. The EU was officially established in 1992 with the Maastricht Treaty. Finland joined in 1995.

 

I stand corrected. They were one of the first. The point still applies. 

 

Finland was not a part of the USSR and was an early member of the EU. Ukraine was part of the USSR and only joined the EU after Russia invaded. 

 

So... @ChiGoose bringing up Finland in comparison to Ukraine, it's not the same scenario.

Finland was a founding member of the EU. Ukraine was not. Ukraine was also IN the USSR before the fall. Finland was not. 

It’s almost as if the real purpose is to restore the USSR and not about NATO…

like the gulf war all over again. 

 

with the war mongers calling anyone opposed, a terrorist sympathizer.

 

Same ignorant false dichotomy to promote human carnage on a mass scale.

 

 

 

 

Please explain this post.  Are you saying the war should have never happened?

I’m only suggesting it’s all connected somehow.

 

It’s always bothered me that Ukraine has been so intertwined in U.S. politics for at least the last 3 administrations.  And the timing of both invasions. Trump was obviously more friendly with Putin as much as a narcissistic egomaniac can be(simultaneously scorning Europe for Russian energy dependency), which then defies the aggression with the Ukraine as doc points out. 
 

everone always lies about all this stuff in real time, but sometimes undeniable pattern unveil themselves in retrospect.

Which cruise line are you on?

Royal Caribbean...Don't send an order to blow up the ship..

From some Eastern European friends: invasions like this don't come from a position of political strength; they come from a position of political weakness. Putin's Russia is an economic basket case. Realizing that there is no way Russia will be able to emulate the economic success story of Poland and the Baltics, Putin realizes his legacy will be in reconstituting some manner of the Russian Empire.

 

This is what makes it difficult to find a resolution. Ordinary geopolitical type solutions don't work. Have some kind of semi-autonomous Donbas region and a kind of free state in Crimea? It would obviously make sense from a military standpoint, and it would offer the hope of economic stability or even growth in Russia. But its an absolute nonstarter for Putin; it would be seen by him (and his people) as conceding defeat.

The war is 100% the responsibility of Demented Biden and his buddies.  Putin knows the Democrats are a bunch of pu$$ies more worried about transgender Bud Light drinkers and killing babies in the third trimester than world peace.  What a mess.

Putin is careful not to refer to the Soviet Union. His nostalgia goes back way before his time to the Russian Empire. In fact, he blames the Soviet leaders for treating some of the former Republics of the USSR as real nationality-based states, when in his mind it was all a single, unified greater Russia in the golden age.

Yet somehow those pu$$ies and their sick/Westernized Ukrainian freedom fighters are holding off the 21st Century Napoleon.

Maybe it's time to rethink those idiotic Putin-ite memes?

If Demented Biden and his lame ass buddies were not in office - no war, no deaths, no destruction, no money wasted.  It's that simple.   You voted for that idiot.  Now we have to deal with the mess.   Is there anything the dopey Democrats have not ***** up?  What a mess.

This explains why Russia just invaded Finland when it wanted to join NATO. Putin would want to prevent basically doubling the length of the Russian border with NATO countries. 
 

Oh wait…

 

LOL!  Putin can't even take over Ukraine.  You think he's going to enter into another war?
