Tell me you understand history, without telling me you understand history.
I’m old enough to remember how Trump completely trashed US oil and natural gas production, turned us from a net exporter of energy to a net importer of energy (even from Russia) for a bunch of multi-trillion dollar, woke green energy bullshyt that won’t ever work. And then how he gave Putin the pipelines to Europe that he so desperately wanted to pay for Russia’s military expansion … OH WAIT!!!
I’m sure Putin fears our new woke military diversity and equity though. Poor guy is probably terrified.
Sorry, but y’all are communist morons. Sad!
Personally, I give a flying F about Ukraine. If they can’t defend themselves, it’s their problem.
More military posturing:
Also, family members of US Embassy personnel being ordered to leave Ukraine.
I thank god every day that Babylon Bee.
Can We Send Her To Ukraine To … You Know … Scare The Russians Away???
#TypicalCommunistDemocrat
Liberals are so well-adjusted aren’t they? Remember that fucking basket case in DC screaming about the Frederick Douglas statue and tour? The two black tour guides came over to calm her down and she screamed at them how racist it all was. These are djrion types
Meltdown prone maniacs
I’m pretty sure that is Rashida Tlaib. She apparently had a very bad reaction to her 37th COVID booster.
Russia is going to roll into Ukraine, and Biden is not going to do anything other than perhaps put a small contingent of American troops in harm’s way. Time to evacuate all Americans out of Ukraine. Otherwise, we have Afghanistan all over again like Groundhog day. Biden is a complete moron, a total failure as president. Even the liberals know it now. Look at the stock market and how it has been cratering lately. Things are going to get a lot worse. Ukraine is the Venezuela of Europe, its most corrupt country. Russia has more integrity than Ukraine. Let the Russians have.it., It will result in a horrible draw on the Russian economy trying to prop us a loser of a country.
If Biden were smart, he could cause a near depression in Russia. Donald Trump predicted Biden would destroy the economy, and he’s overachieving at wrecking the country. So what should he do. Drill baby drill. Open the pipelines. Build new ones. Dig coal like hell. Become an exporter of energy. Pretend he’s Trump. Were Biden to do this, the price fuel worldwide would collapse. Thanks to Biden, Russia is enjoying its best years in a long time. Energy sails represents one third of the entire Russian economy. Half the world price on energy, and Russians will have a lot to worry about other than invading other nations.
Russia is not doing so hot right now. They are desperate and the entire world sees it. Even China is backing away from them.
The rebels in Ukraine are close to being overwhelmed so Russia is propping them up with a troop presence. Putin pretended to go through diplomatic motions with impossible demands on NATO. The problem is the rest of the world is calling Russia’s bluff. Add that to a vastly improved Ukraine military compared to 2014 and Russia almost has no way out.
EDIT: Just wanted to add that i don’t have delusions about the Ukraine military totally beating the Russian military. Ukraine may have the 3rd largest standing army in Europe, but the power disparity is too great. Ukraine’s job is to stall armed conflict as long as possible.
Again, I think this is being blown out of proportion. We’ve had a record number of illegal border crossings the last 6 month across our southern border. What’s changed in Ukraine the last few months?
Something similar happened in 2014 when Obama was president.
Ukraine’s president just came out the other day and said this isn’t a big deal.
Maybe if Biden wouldn’t have lifted the sanctions on the pipeline Russia wouldn’t feel emboldened.
Literally, nothing resembling Afghanistan. American troops were never fighting in Afghanistan while Russia was there. We trained and hired Mujaheddin. Again, you can hardly post without outright lying these days.

See.
Donald Trump left with almost double digit unemployment and more jobs lost than any President since the Great Depression.
Already were.
In November 2019, the United States became a net exporter of all oil products, including both refined petroleum products and crude oil. By 2021 the US was the world’s largest producer.
Moronic statement
Another lie.
Typical - can’t write more than 2 sentences without outright lying
According to what data?
That’s false. 100% false
You were saying?
Seems quite the opposite is true.
What is it with you Republicans defending Russia en masse? Do you get tired of not knowing the basics of the argument yet having definitive opinions that are 100% false?
This was from a few months ago, but it’s continuing to get worse. Hard to find the data because they don’t want to publicize it.
Biden (Joe and Hunter) were compromised by the old Ukraine oligarchs. There was clear corruption there. Once the new guy came in they no longer had the ties there and were content to let Russia do what Russia wants.
Now they try to act tough. Complete joke of a government we have.
Copy that. Understood.
100% false. In fact, you’re projecting. None of this is esoteric knowledge, so the only thing stopping you from understanding is effort and/or integrity.
Viktor Shokin was the prosecutor general in the Ukraine from 2015 and 2016. He was removed by vote in the Ukrainian Parliament following pressure from the EU, the US, the International Monetary Fund and World Bank. (Envoys pushed to oust Ukraine prosecutor before Biden). It wasn’t just Biden and Obama who wanted him out, but Republican Rob Portman, Mark Kirk and yes…Ron Johnson all signed the letter in 2016 demanding his removal from office. (https://www.portman.senate.gov/newsroom/press-releases/portman-durbin-shaheen-and-senate-ukraine-caucus-reaffirm-commitment-help)
Why? He wasn’t doing anything to crack down on corruption. When Shokin was appointed on Feb 10, 2015, it was a controversial decision as he had blocked prosecutions against those accused of shooting demonstrators during the 2014 Ukrainian revolution. (Stop the appointment of Shokin - Open Dialogue Foundation). As Prosecutor General, he was accused of blocking major cases against allies and influential figures and hindering the fight against corruption in the Ukraine. (https://www.irishtimes.com/news/world/europe/eu-hails-sacking-of-ukraine-s-prosecutor-viktor-shokin-1.2591190) (IMF warning sparks Ukraine pledge on corruption and reform) . The Obama administration withheld $1billion in loan guarantees to pressure the Ukraine to remove Shokin from office. His Deputy Prosecutor, Vitaly Kasko announced his resignation in Feb 2016 denouncing the corruption and lawlessness of Shokin’s office. Shokin has failed to indict anyone from the Yanukovych administration for corruption.
“In February 2016, International Monetary Fund Managing Director Christine Lagarde threatened to withhold $40 billion unless Ukraine undertook “a substantial new effort” to fight corruption after the country’s economic minister and his team resigned to protest government corruption. That same month, a “reform-minded deputy prosecutor resigned, complaining that his efforts to address government corruption had been consistently stymied by his own prosecutor general, Viktor Shokin,” according to a Jan. 3, 2017, Congressional Research Service report.”
Yet, Trump and Giuliani’s narrative that Biden forced him out because he was investigating Burisma, which is 100% false and easily verified. Giuliani’s sources were Andriy Derkach, who has been identified by the U.S. intelligence community as a “pro-Russia Ukrainian parliamentarian” who is “spreading claims about corruption … to undermine former Vice President Biden’s candidacy and the Democratic Party.” Those were the words of National Counterintelligence and Security Center Director William Evanina, who issued an “election threat update” on Aug. 7 that said: “Russia is using a range of measures to primarily denigrate former Vice President Biden.”
What about Shokin, who the entire world except Russia claimed was corrupt?
How’d it play out with Giuli? They literally sided with Shokin and worked FOR him

The joke is your lack of effort to understand the basics…as pointed out.
Are you joking?!?
100k Russian soldiers on their border, building up at 3 separate fronts including one in Belarus.
Look, I’ll be the first to say I don’t know if Russia will actually invade or not. That said, they are absolutely posturing as though they will invade. They are testing NATO, and so far NATO is rising to the challenge.
You mean when Russia invaded Crimea?!?
LMAO what are you smoking today?
Russia doesn’t have the resources to invade right now. I think it’s 100% posturing.
