This is a tale of a brutal dictator, who unilaterally, without provocation, unleashed an overwhelming military force on a peaceful, democratic neighbor in Ukraine. Just starting heaving missiles and bombs, sending in tanks & fighter jets, cause he has hurt feelings about the downfall of the Soviet Empire.
"Hurt feelings" is the only unifying principle of the (D)imbo party, Tibilo.
Also, do you finally understand why most of us have wanted to develop our own energy - all types, including the billions of barrels of oil under our feet - for years? If America is an energy superpower, developing our vast energy reserves, we can tell Germany not to worry about producing electricity, we have them covered, when their windmills and unicorn farts shockingly fail to meet projections yet again.
America is sitting on a world-leading 264 billion barrels of oil reserves, according to a new estimate by Rystad Energy. It's a sign of the dramatically reshaped global oil landscape thanks to the shale revolution.

This harkens back to the dark days of the 30's, when crazed maniacs had designs on ruling the world, stomping through nation-state borders, building empires.
Dictators swallowed up nations later than that, in the 1940's and 1950's (Soviet Union under Stalin). Teddy Kennedy thought Reagan was the danger, the Soviet Union a potential ally.
The now 70-year Putin has lost his ************* mind. There's a sure spot waiting for him in hell, and perhaps at the Hague Tribunal, to face war crimes.
Agreed.
So let me ask - do you feel like an idiot for stating numerous times that Donald Trump was the most dangerous man you have ever known, a sure-fire dictator, a threat to humanity, now that you've seen an
actual dictator in action??
You reappear on this forum without mentioning - once - that the entire goddamn Russia collusion claim was a lie, a hoax, a scam, and never apologize for spreading that lie for years.
After all that's been said and done with Saddam, Kim Jong-un, Bin Laden et al, who knew the world would be staring down Bond-villain Vladimir Putin in 2022?
I think this very result should have been known to America's foreign policy "experts" after the Russians invaded Georgia in 2008, Crimea in 2014, and then put 190,000 troops and a massive amount of hardware on its Western border in December of 2021. Don't you?
And do you have a whit of criticism of Biden for holding his dick for three months while the Russians prepared for the invasion?? Biden and Austin knew by late November that Ukraine was in danger and needed a LOT of hardware from the United States - and did basically NOTHING. ****, other than 79 Javelins in late January.
79 Javelins - where the Russians had 1,200 tanks on the Ukrainian border.
Kyiv’s pleas for more U.S. guns to hold off Moscow have prompted a political knife fight in Washington.

Considering what the Russians must do to win a full-scale war in Ukraine—and what the Ukrainians must do to prevent the Russians from winning—it’s not at all clear that 1,200 deployed tanks is enough for the Russians, and that 900 active tanks is inadequate for the Ukrainians.

The dude's gone ******* haywire. Hug your kids & loved ones, be glad you're thousands of miles away.
I have always loved my country and wanted to protect it from invasion, by anybody - Russians, Mexicans OR Central Americans.
Something we can agree on.
