IMHO the key point of disagreement in today's politics in the us is "do we want an authoritarian govt or not?" This ukraine/russia thing is obviously historical and if putin's authoritarian decisions work out well that will bode well for authoritarianism in the whole world. If it doesn't work out well then just the opposite will result. The thing is, putin might resort to nuclear weapons if the west puts up a significant resistance. So, what to do next? |

ibd, I guess it's possible that my view is influenced by thousands of images i've seen on the media. Yes, i do watch fox news. I try not to respond to your silly questions such as, "What do you mean by the west?" Do you live under a rock? My ex ex wife is an expert on russia but she hasn't talked to me since this ukraine/russian thing began a few weeks ago so i'm kind of cut off from inside info. |

Rather than get into a big war over crimea and donbos region, zelensky should just let russia have those regions. They have mostly russian sympathizers so why would ukraine even want them? So much simpler to just let those regions go to russia and avert war. Of course putin might not accept that. He may have bigger ambitions but offering him those regions will fully show what his intention really are. Edited on 24-02-2022 02:06 |

The silent coup by the Democrats through election fraud has resulted in the U.S. federal government being converted into an oligarchy. They no longer recognize the constitution that defines the U.S. federal government. They no longer recognize any State constitution either. Biden is authoritarian. So is Trudeau. Despite this, they condemn Putin's actions in the Ukraine??!? The upshot? Nothing will be done.

It'll never happen in America, because we aren't ignorant morons. A little lazy, and like 'free-stuff'. But, when it comes down to forcing crap on use, that we don't like. or want. Or taking stuff away from us, the democrats are going to get spanked hard. Biden crossed a line with his vaccine mandate, but got slapped down. Lot of people still got screwed over though. Vaccines aren't such a bad idea for health care workers though, if they need it. All the former USSR countries have had a rough time going it alone. The Ukraine was failing badly. The US, and a few other countries stepped in, hoping to keep the USSR from reforming. I don't doubt there are those in the Ukraine, that would rather be with Russia, rather than doing what the democrats consider 'better' for them. It's what the democrats intend for America after all. I don't think Putin plans on just 'taking' anything. Too much international backlash to make it worthwhile. Most definitely won't resort to nuclear weapons. Those will always be a last resort/exit. Too much of a mess to clean up, lot of time and money, to make the land livable again. Not something you do to land you expect to keep as your own. Russia aren't the only countries with nukes. One launch, might convince one or more nuclear countries to consider putting a permanent end to Russia, so can never launch anymore, or use them as a threat. Remember how quickly Afghanistan reverted to it's old ways, soon as we pulled out? It's pretty much the same for every country our democrats installed their version of 'democracy', and send aid money and supplies. Their democracy on last, as long as there is 'free-stuff'. The democrats have a hard time continuing to justify sending the free stuff. Republicans want it to stop, or greatly reduced. We have our own problems to deal with, and a huge debt. Each failed 'democracy', doesn't look well for the democrats who hope to do the same for America. |
