Russia and the Ukraine...What do you think?

Its crazy, horrible, we-thought-passe... on top of which, WTH has Ukraine done to Russia or anyone, other than want to run its own show.

I don't buy the Putin-is-a-genius line, certainly not now. As someone else said, this will not end well. Savagery never does.

This isn't war, it's terrorism: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mA368e26Ktw

Only governments war. The people do not.

I think the lying media caused this to happen to deflect attention from Dementia Joe’s terrible domestic policies as President.

That makes no sense. Foreign policy and all that isn't political?

We need to spend those billions on Americans who are suffering. Too many out of touch assholes who won't bother to watch multiple points of view and echo some bullshit someone else said.

I think this is a case of several wrongs don't make a right.

I mean, you have a would-be dictator from Russia with delusions of grandeur, trying to re-make the Soviet Union.

You've got a Ukraine that's been run by weak, corrupt oligarchs for decades (in fixed elections, mind you), most notably starting after the Soviet Union fell. (Small wonder many mail-order brides come from there).

You've got a bunch of wimpy, ball-less cowards in suits in NATO, the current Administration in the US, and the EU, whining and condemning the would-be dictator, but they aren't really doing anything to stop him. You can say whatever you want, guys, talk is cheap. But Puto isn't gonna listen to you unless you use actual force to counter-act him. It's the only language he knows.

My only sympathies lie with the common people. They're the ones suffering the most from this, both in Russia and the Ukraine. You've got Russians who don't support Puto and don't want war; and if they protest, they're being thrown in prison. You've got Ukranians protesting, being ignored, and getting shot at. Neither one has any power to do anything but flee the madness.
