@bikki228 - thoughts? Still ok with appeasement?
This is not stopping with Ukraine.
Axis Sallie doesn’t care. He wants Russia to remake the Soviet state.

Ahhh…Another big ole “carer”
Imagine “caring” about everything int he world. These people need major fucking help.
You are tragically stupid. Toilet wine.
Comment wasn’t towards you and I’ve added the quote.
But you kinda fit the bill too…You probably have the biggest Stand With Ukraine bumper sticker on your car as possible you stupid ass sheep.
I don’t - I was simply pointing out that you clearly don’t understand history, and that if Russia were to continue into the Baltics, there’s a very good chance it’d spark WW3.
Non-pertinent.
And again I don’t have a dog in the fight…And I’m cool with this.
It’s entirely pertinent - which is why I posted the article.
Wait - never mind, you didn’t read it.
Then fuck off. Toilet wine.
This is just bluster. There’s no way Russia is going to actually take on NATO.
Still, this is strategic bluster. The whole point is to harrass ex-Soviet states, to paint a picture of persecution, build a narrative of us versus them against NATO, and to look for appeasement elsewhere. Russia likes to throw a lot of shit at the wall to see what sticks. Even NATO’s response to this will work in their favor. More troops building up helps Putin sell the ever present threat to their livelihood.
Don’t tell overly dramatic 51 this…He was buying an even bigger bumper sticker.
Perhaps. But obviously they can’t take chances (I.e., not add troops just in case).
How many of us were saying Russia wouldn’t attack Ukraine?
Non-pertinent
Deflection. This is LITERALLY what we’re talking about.
Not that you know, afterall you don’t read. Toilet wine.
Putin is the voice of moderation among Russian pols. Were Putin removed, I fear Russia would fall under aggressive hard-liners. Like Trump, Putin is an excellent executive. I have read a great deal of Putin’s writing. His goal is to unite Russian speakers displaced by the break up of the Soviet Union. He has no ambitions about invading the Baltic States or any of the former satellite nations of Eastern Europe except for Diniestria section of Moldova, already administered by Russians and protected by Moscow. Putin will not pull the Red Army out of Ukraine until he achieves the goals of the SMO. Once the Nazis are disarmed and removed from influence in Ukraine, the country will be partitioned, large parts of which will be subsumed by Russia.
Putin will never relent. Russia is doing just fine in spite of sanctions which are hurting both the U.S. and NATO. Forcing Russia into the Chinese realm of influence is beyond ordinary foolishness. Only an idiot like Biden would fritter away Ukrainian lives in OUR war against Russia. Our stance is immoral and it is NATO not Putin that abrogated past agreements about the status of Ukraine. NATO forced Putin’s hand, and NATO European nations cannot withstand the coming winter, especially if Putin cuts off the pipelines completely. The ball is in NATO’s court. Putin is quite comfortable having his way in Ukraine. Europe however is falling the hell apart, waiting for Washington to order Ukraine to surrender. Something has got to give before winter. IMO, Europe will tell the idiot Biden to go suck lemons, and pull NATO command away from Washington.
Blame liberals for the war in Ukraine that would not have been allowed to happen under the GREAT Donald Trump. It took liberals to engender the conflict that has unleashed a war NATO cannot win. The economic crisis in Europe is going to splinter NATO, and European nations will revolt against being vassals of the U.S. Europe really has no choice about ending the Ukraine War. To Europe ending the conflict is an existential imperative. In the end, Ukraine will be yet another spectacular Biden failure.
You’re a liar, a traitor to this country and its ideals…and a sack of shit. Not much else to it.
I wouldn’t trust those polls to save my life. But if Putin goes (removed or dies), it is very possible he could be replaced with someone worse. And that’s setting the bar high.
LOL.
Via invading sovereign nations and committing war crimes under false pretenses.
You realize the Baltic states used to be part of the Soviet Union, from 1945 to 1991, right? So if he’s trying to unite the old USSR, as you’ve said, this statement is false.
When is Russia coming for us? After all, we have white nationalists/nazis here too.
Do you think he cried and grimaced as he typed this?
Well, bikki has also said Russia wouldn’t attack Kharkiv. He pretends Russia is perfectly reasonable until they aren’t, and then he pretends it’s perfectly okay.
This is the first war I’ve seen where concerts and beach goers persist out in the open through out. Lol. Where foreign leaders walk around with no bullet proof vests in fear of snipers.
Amazing “war.”
Really? Well, kudos to you for admitting to your ignorance on the subject. It takes a strong man to admit what he doesn’t know.
