He has not stopped thinking about invading since 1993
Well, uhhh, why hasn't he done it in the past 22 years? You know, he's been in power since 2000.
Kinda funny that Hillary and the Obama admin were targeting Russia as such a threat, then Trump happened and no more threat... then, Pedodent Joe happened. Coincidence?... no.
No, it's not "kinda funny." It's irrelevant and wrong. Russia was a threat during the Trump presidency. This is going to happen. People like you who excuse the behavior by Russia are pretty much (1) whackos and/or (2) un-American.
Why do you hate America? Because it voted for the wrong president? What kind of reason is that? Get a hold of your sensibilities. Russia is causing a worldwide crisis and there is no excuse for it.
Russia won’t invade that is crystal clear. They don’t want Ukraine to join NATO and then try and take back Crimea which WOULD force Russias hand in going to war with all of NATO countries so their whole purpose is to prevent war.
Biden keeps sounding the alarm though, using fear based rhetoric and talking of a certain, imminent invasion. The USA just looks like fools in all this when nothing happens despite highly specific predictions.
Bet Biden is just helping Pelosi short the market.
This is some ridiculous, bs logic even by letsrun standards: You actually think Putin is PREVENTING conflict by surrounding Ukraine with 190,000 troops because, obviously, Ukraine will join NATO, somehow take back Crimea, and then provoke a NATO wide attack on Russia?
That's your imagined scenario but it's Biden using "fear based" rhetoric?
Just because Trump was buddies with Putin, doesn't mean you have to align yourselves with Putin now.
This is terrible behavior by Russia. Putin is acting like an old school, deep state KGB creep who can't see how the world has changed. There is no justification for this act of aggression in this day and age. Putin is ultimately doing a disservice to his own country, and the entire world.
Blaming the US and its Allies here is disgusting. Get your priorities in order.
Are you in 100% in favor of all actions made by U.S? This is the largest High Noon-type of standoff U.S./then Soviet Union has had since October, 1962, Cuban Missile Crisis. Your type of post is not helpful. Both sides have patrolled Arctic Ocean and other oceans with enough nukes to kill millions. U.S. used to routinely fly bombers armed with nukes. If you were alive December, 1989, you may have seen nukes riding up and down I-95 and up & down I-5. Nukes used to ride back and forth on rail in U.S. This is nothing new. Do you believe Ukraine or maybe 1/3 of Ukraine is worth WW3? I see U.S. giving Ukraine anti-tank weapons as adversarial. I see U.S. giving Ukraine surface to air missiles as adversarial. I see U.S. giving Poland 250 tanks as adversarial. CNN & MSNBC have convinced you there has been aggression. There has not.
America has many loyal comrades who love dictators and wannabe dictators. They are begging for someone like our great leader to take over and reallocate wealth to the deserving government and military leaders!

If Russia invades Ukraine, it's on Putin. No one else is responsible. The US intelligence community sounded the alarm because Putin put 150k troops on the Ukrainian border in preparation for an invasion. Do yourself a favor and stop watching Fox News (or CNN, for that matter).

Nope. It's folks like you who have no clue of history or geopolitical politics who are the real dangers to global stability, and protecting the constitutionality of the US. You're supporting the neo-con/liberal empire that you possibly once claimed to oppose. This is quite common with many of today's 'liberals' and clueless conservatives that don't understand that Putin has many times stated his undesire to 'recreate the Soviet Union'. He has been publically critical of Lenin for establishing the Soviet Union and its communist political system. He said "it destroyed over a 1000 years of Russian history" and that it left tens of millions starving when it collapsed, because obviously they were completely reliant on the system. But, you take the western propaganda by the barrel full and believe the garbage brought to you by your neo-con/liberal war happy imperialist 'leaders'.
No, your 'President' and his band of warmongers are causing a worldwide crisis.

Yes, I’m quoting myself because too many numbskulls are talking about Russia surrounding Ukraine.
This above is the exact reason that Putin has stated for his actions. Watch his speech after a 6 hour meeting with Macron. Zelensky committed to taking back Crimea by this year which has led to Russias actions. Of course Western Media makes no mention of this.
Do you all really believe that if Putin wanted to invade Ukraine he’d do it by a slow, 6 month long build up of troops along the border? No, he’s trying to get the worlds attention and it worked. We’re playing right into his hands.
I do regret making this a partisan issue as I’m truly bi-partisan. I just happen to think Bidens handling of this is horrendous. Are you all really ok with him saying things like “they’re going to invade Wednesday” and then it not happening?
Putin's demands for US are unreasonable right now. No need to call the bluff. Russia probably won't want to risk slicing their oil trade from sanctions either.

Every Russian oligarch has his billions stashed in Western banks, invested in Western properties and more recently in Western crypto. Smart Rusians do not invest in Russia. They pretend to love Mother Russia, but actions speak louder than words.

True. Russia doesn't need to invade. They just need to start stirring it up, and then let Russian sympathisers on the Ukrainian side of the border think they have licence to burn it all to the ground. The Kremlin is destabilising Western powers on a Safeway budget and to Putin's credit, it’s working like a charm so far.
The idea that Pelosi has any pull with the Joint Chiefs is laughable. Unless they are all in on it to make money.
As for the argument about Trump Vs Biden.......you lefties dillusional take on Trump and Russia is funny. If Trump was president, none of this would be going on. Putin knows that Biden is his asset in this due to Bidens son being the greatest grifter of all time in Ukraine and Russia.
Putin's trying to recreate the Soviet Empire. Where he can't force in or support against their own people pro-Russian corrupt rulers as in Ukraine, military action or the threat of it is next. Belarus caved, of course, the Stans are in his camp. They want the Baltic states. He's very disappointed he can't have Poland.
Russia is the only country to invade and take over another since WWII. we hardly need to goad them into War. 195 countries in the World, and they stand alone as aggressors.

What are you stating? Grenada, 1983, Afghanistan, 2002, Iraq, 2003, Nicaragua, circa 1985, Panama, circa 1989, Libya, 2012. Also read Dirty Wars by Jeremy Scahill, 2013.

Did those countries change hands as sovereign nations? or only Georgia, Crimea and shortly Ukraine??
