You’re welcome Ukraine. If it weren’t for the US/UN you’d be done for.
ReplyWell in Soviet times the Ukrainian’s were the Soviet’s elite fighting force they were the real red army!
ReplyBased on Putin’s actions I feel he’s trying to do his Crimea trick. He’s trying to rattle and scare Ukraine into putting a pro Russian puppet in as president so he has full control of Ukraine and doesn’t suffer any of the consequences good not even fire a shot. The guys really smart. But the United States has smelled out his plot and is making a big deal out of calling attention it moving NATO troops closer to Russian border with offensive weapons and supplying arms to Ukraine, going to the UN. We also put some substantial consequences into play if he does decide to do it which I don’t think he will. It would be terrible PR. Also the US is very conscious that China is watching everything that we are doing because they’re in a similar situation where they want to take over Taiwan so we have to act with strength. So it’s really messing with his plan. Plan b for Putin would be to get some concessions from the United States. Plan c would be to invade which are you really don’t think he will. If he takes over a country is minding its own business the rest of Europe will be all over him. He thought we were going to lay back like Obama did and do nothing and just let him take it. Too much pushback and attention for his plan to work. As he says I have no intention of invading.. he’s got most of his options covered. He just scaring the crap out of Ukraine and maybe getting the West to cave in on some of his demands while he’s doing it. After all he hasn’t crossed any borders yet and he’s doing all this on his own land. Very smart guy but I think us is smarter. And we’re actually doing something about it.
ReplyObviously China can freely put their nooks in Kuba or where else they desaid… its not a business or concern fore USA right? Remaind me please whot is Monro doctrine and why USA got right ower SA???
ReplyYou ever thought the reason they’re so chill about it is because nothing’s actually happening. I mean Russia did announce these war games and troop movements a year ago. It’s more of a situation of Americans are freaking out about what they see on the news. And less about Russia wanting to invade the Ukraine which if you think about it from their point of view makes no damn sense. Their economy is not large enough to occupy any part of the Ukraine they are not already occupying. They’ve already armed the rebels tooth and nail that are holding the Eastern portion of the country quite successfully. I think this is more of a case of NATO aggression rather than Russian aggression. America has been lying about their intentions to the Russians for years. If roles were reversed we wouldn’t be as nice as they are. I can’t think of another sanction you could put on them to hurt them that isn’t already there. NATO has sanctioned Russia to the point to where they are an independent economy. People are freaking out about s*** that ain’t none of their business and has nothing to do with them, and on top of that they don’t understand the politics and history enough to not come to a rash judgement, and you people in the media and the government don’t want the rest to understand. A stupid population is an easily governed population.
Replykinda weird that Stephen’s graphics team used a map of Ukraine without Crimea included. United States still recognize Crimea as Ukrainian, so don’t throw Russian propoganda such easy visuals to use.
ReplyJoe Biden needs to stfu. Let the Russians fight Russians.
Reply<3 the uiger joke yup, just look away from there.
Replyyou do realize, much like your show, that the whole Biden narrative, and media hysteria, of Ukraine about to be “sacked” is propaganda to cover up for a failing US hegemonic world policing?
ReplyColbert and Batiste fan club.
Reply3:00. It’s a shame Lin Manuel Miranda wasn’t there to participate.
ReplyWell I’m glad the Ukrainians feel “relaxed” because America is still under attack by a tiny hand manchild that our DOJ refuse to prosecute.
Replywarmongering media, no wander, Lockheed Martin pays for your show
ReplyShow a diagram of all the US troops positioned all around Irans borders and you could easily make the same argument that US I’d about to invade….
ReplyMaybe they aren’t anxious because that “imminent invasion” is US propaganda and not a real thing…
