Belarus,Hungary,Poland. This really could be the beginning. Putin just warned any other nation to basically stay the **** out, or serious consequences like no one has ever seen before
 
What a ******* moron at the helm.

In his final speech Tuesday imploring Vladimir Putin to forego a planned invasion of Ukraine, Biden took military action by the United States off the table while offering a hollow pledge so detached from geopolitical reality that it stunned some in the diplomatic world.

"We have no intention of fighting Russia," Biden declared. "We want to send an unmistakable message, though, that the United States, together with our allies, will defend every inch of NATO territory and abide by the commitments we made to NATO."

To Americans it may have sounded like a statement of resolve. But to the trained eye, the proclamation was undercut by the fact that Ukraine — the object of Putin's aggression — is neither a member of NATO nor in its protection zone.

While Biden's assurance provided comfort to neighbors that are NATO members like the Czech Republic and Poland, it was taken by many in Ukraine as a final concession that Kiev was on its own and that Putin could advance his military plan with the threat of economic sanctions as the lone consequence.

Biden would likely appreciate all evidence of his affairs in Kiev during the Obama administration destroyed anyways...

Oh it's over. Ukraine is a part of Mother Russia now.

Maybe this was all a part of Biden's plan. Kind of gets rid of all that pesky Ukraine business he was involved in previously.
 
and, more importantly, how disappointed will Greta be with Putin's actions?

China will step up its South China Sea activities at the same time, and the newly enriched Iranians and other nasty Arabs will take shots at Israel.

Perhaps Neville Biden will surprise in his speech today.....hopefully it happens before puddin' time.
 
If Putin had watched this last week, he'd have ordered all troops home. Instantly.

 
"Diversity is our strength."

Can someone please explain to me why I should accept this tired bon mot as true? Go ahead. I am willing to accept the point, but need somebody to explain WHY the claim is actually true.
 
More evidence of the absolute genius of lefties. This comment from ambassador to Russia under the Bammy regime:



You can't fire a gun without kneepads?

Hey, I think I know somebody who could help, since she likely has a glut of kneepads!!

Diversity is strength because it's not what we did in the past, so by rejecting that hateful legacy, we forge forward in man buns of glorious trans gender gayness.

I hope that helps.
 
So....... serious question. I know how much disdain you guys have for The current president. But he is president. In his upcoming address, what would you like him or expect him to say?

I want him to:
  • Apologize for being wrong about everything. EVERY. *******. THING.
  • Promise to begin allowing America to be the greatest energy source in the world.
  • Okay the Keystone Pipeline TO-*******-DAY.
  • Allow oil and gas exploration on Federal lands.
  • Promote our own energy production TO-*******-DAY.
  • Make Putin's energy customers OUR energy customers.
  • Admit his son made millions off the corruption in Ukraine, and promise to send his dirty, sleazy, drug-addled grifter son to jail for being such a scab on America's reputation.
  • Promise to support the Ukrainian militants and insurgents. As we have seen multiple times over the past 40 years, blowing up an enemy's armies mean nothing if the enemy has popular support among the population and is willing to fight, backed by somebody who has the weapons needed to sustain that fight.

I was trying to be realistic here. He is not going to go on an apology tour. The world will be watching his response to this situation in Ukraine. Especially Putin.
