But it might have something to do with the son of a POTUS....

posted by Dr Winston O'BoogieThe Russians and Ukrainians should be left to figure this out. We’re not going to do anything - and aren’t capable of doing anything - to make a difference. This predates the US by hundreds of years.
Unfortunately this is not going to happen. US diplomats and NATO staff have relocated from the capital Kiev to Lviv which is less than 40 miles from the Polish border. The Carpathian mountains extend through several NATO countries into the Ukraine just to the south. Extra NATO troop deployments have been made to two of those nations. Poland and Romania.
The British prime minister has stated "it is in our collective interest that Russia should ultimately fail and be seen to fail". Western leaders know they can't stop an invasion directly but are currently plotting to heavily arm the resistance and there will be a resistance. The aid will likely flow through a couple of those NATO countries that border Ukraine on the west.
Buckle up, put in the ear buds, and listen to black sabbath "war pigs". Just about sums it up.

And we certainly don’t have the leadership to navigate any of that.

No we don’t unless there is a grift in it, then the Biden’s will go knuckle deep into it
Looks like the 80's are calling again.

Remember when Obama laughed at Romney for saying Russia was a big threat?
Good times…
The last four presidents (including the current one) have had absolutely no understanding of Russia or Putin.
America and the west forget that Russia doesn't forget.
So what’s the prediction on the Ukraine invasion? This gonna last awhile?

I'm sure he's heard about it if only because his predecessor is polishing Putin's knob at every opportunity.

He’s addressing the nation later. Can’t wait to hear Fletch’s feedback resembling something like “He’s being a pussy! We should be over there beating everyone up!”

No hurry; why not wait till next week to give a useless speech.

He is addressing the nation on a speech he didnt write and wasted countless days practicing it while ALL americans are losing income, retirement $ and letting countries run wild.

I think this will go on until late August/early September, where there will be a sudden withdrawal. It will be announced that Trump ushered a deal that led to the withdrawl. This will be used to fuel the crushing blow for the Dems at the mid-terms.
This is just a prediction.

Yeah, it really takes a lot of "spin" to draw a conclusion from his own personal quotes that leave exactly nothing to the imagination. Such as...
“I went in yesterday and there was a television screen, and I said, ‘This is genius,’ ” Trump continued. “Putin declares a big portion of the Ukraine — of Ukraine. Putin declares it as independent. Oh, that’s wonderful. So, Putin is now saying, ‘It’s independent,’ a large section of Ukraine. I said, ‘How smart is that?’ And he’s gonna go in and be a peacekeeper. That’s strongest peace force … We could use that on our southern border.”

Don't watch CNN. Read it in the Daily Mail - a Trump friendly rag. It's not a new story. He's been sucking Putin's ass since he first met him.
As I've said many times, I don't see Biden as a worth adversary of Putin. But Trump sure as hell wasn't either. Neither was Obama, W, Bubba or probably Bush Sr. That's a major problem with our modern politics. We've got these elected personalities who don't know shit about the world and lack the wisdom to lock horns with a crafty Russian like Putin.

You obviously fell asleep from '17 - '20. Don't feel bad though, many believed what they were told instead of observing themselves what actually occurred.

JFC ..... he was speaking to the efficacy of Putin's maneuvers, not agreeing with the criminal actions.
