The difference..

[RickWA]

Ok...let's distill the present situation.....um..that of Russian insanity down to it's core.... When should we have stopped waiting?

While troops were amassing, RADICAL countermeasures should have been invoked. Specifically, MAX sanctions as soon as mobilization began (rather than saving them for later). NATO forces should have matched Putin’s movements…loading up Poland (as well as the Baltics - let the midget sweat another flank while we’re at it). Also, rather than the tiny pittance of aid Biden/Europe has offered Ukraine to date…profoundly larger sums of aid and equipment should have been delivered.

Frankly, it still should. Geeze, maybe we should even talk about enforcing some no-fly zones.

I’m not a huge advocate of boots-on-the-ground generally, but countries like Russia and China are led by thugs who see weakness as opportunity. When either of those two start aggression, they need to be hammered in the snout like a shark.

Have you watched Putin's speech ( the one god of war refers to)? This is an existential battle to the death for Putin....are redefining of the order of the world. He's a madman carrying decades old grudges and offenses all stemming from a lapse in focus surrounding the dissolution of the Soviet state. This is figure out away to hammer this fucker back into the dark or face global disruption... Ukraine is just the warm up....

Because of his penchant for deceit and disinformation (you can take the boy outta the KGB…but…) - I have no clue whether he has gone nuts, or simply wants us to believe so. I take nothing at face value with that guy. Bottom line though is that his actions must be met with action. He cannot be allowed to prosper - and we cannot let CHINA believe that we will allow such to prosper. To be honest, China is a very key reason why Putin must be smacked so hard.

This self-righteous stooge is a moron. Smart people don't wait until they are fully under massive control of central-planning authoritarians to protest something. That just is not a logical take... and if a building is burning, yes - that is a greater immediate emergency than, say termite infestation. But the answer is not what this genius says it is.

I have great sympathy for the people of Ukraine. Their plight, however, does not render that of others invalid or worthy of ridicule. Good old Twitter...home of the unreasoned, off-the-cuff hawt taek.

Well said.

 

[Raoul_Luke]

Couldn't agree with you more. To take the time to undermine freedom at home at a time when freedom abroad is at risk is completely unnecessary and counter productive.

Not to mention idiotic.

Yes, but why does that make it inappropriate to resist creeping authoritarianism over here? Jeez, the way we're headed we're not that far from scenes like we're seeing in Ukraine, but it will be our own countrymen committing the war crimes in the name of enforcing the almighty social justice reparations.

 

[Drumcollie]

Awesome comments.

Says the guy/ ?/whatever you are that voted for Biden who had almost a year to put a stop to this and didn't.,

And let's be clear, your feigned interest in the Ukraine because of political reasons as we don't see you taking sides in the Tigray, do we? No threads or posts none, and now yer late. But then who are we kidding? They aren't white and paying off Joe Biden by firing prosecutors checking up on Hunter's Burisma.

Either Ukraine is fighting for the rights the truckers in Canada have or they are not. Which is it?

Putler lovers love false equivalencies like truckers who don't want to wear a mask and children having thermobaric bombs lobbed at them.

Cool story bro

This has been ongoing for almost a year...Plenty of time to execute that plan. Weak ass sanctions and not sanctioning S.W.I.F.T. won't do anything.

Agreed. Gotta flip a switch on guys like Putin. No initial hand slap.

I get it. Ukraine isn't fighting for freedom. They aren't fighting for Ukrainian truckers to have the same rights as Canadian truckers to protest. So when Ukraine wins I do not expect to see freedom.

Yours is the little mind of false equivalences.

 

[Drumcollie]

You have to Give the left a little credit for trying to alienate 63 percent plus American's by the Your either with Ukraine bought Joe or evil nasty Putin. Unfortunately, that attitude ruined any chances for a negotiation and set the left up for failure. Burning bridges doesn't work.

Only Russians can deal with Rasputin and that is why he invaded Ukraine; to stop Russians from doing a Gadaffi on him. If he's like Stalin we'll get nuked. If he isn't a general will shoot him in the back of the head.

The Truckers are actually more like Putin than the Ukrainians.

Both carried out and illegal act in an attempt to achieve a political goal based upon an imagined right.

You're just not an inheritor of America. You have no legacy. You don't belong.

Now there’s some textbook after-the-fact carping.

Or did you call for such things in the past?

And both are lawless, with no respect for democratic processes.

Dumbest comparison ever.

Biden could have stopped Puutin a year ago but...He hides behind Nato.
