#1 Sure is a lot of Deflective Saber Rattling with lots of MSM and Social Media help.

What are they (LSD's & MSM) going overboard to draw our attention away from now?
Biden,
Hillary's criminal activities,
The Jan. 6th Gestapo,
Social Media illegally private funding of LSD's,
Politically extended C-19 of unneeded mandates,
US/Elite funding for Gain of Function in CCP,
Political insider trading in the $M made from the C-19VAX stocks, or something brewing yet to be leaked.

Like the adverse circulatory system related issues now starting to be recorded, regarding those that took, or were pressured into taking multiple VAX/Booster shots for employment?

#2 Note what he said: Its all about NATO and Crimea. All he wants, and what his countrymen overwhelmingly want, is no NATO membership for Ukraine and no NATO threat to the Russians' all-important base at Sevastopol. That's all.

No one in Russia gives a shit about Ukraine per se, or wants war with Ukraine-- they just want NATO out of their front yard, period.

Why is that so hard for our idiot-Woke leaders to understand? Didn't Soetoro say he was against US exceptionalism?
Aren't Brandon and son happy to do business with Chinese military front companies, Moscow oligarchs' ex-wives, Kazakh bandits?
Why this obsession with pissing on Russia's legitimate security concerns?
Did Eisenhower intervene in Hungary in 1956?
How does poking the bear in Crimea -- their equivalent of the Alamo -- how does that do anything for US freedom and prosperity?

So tired of their lies and bullshit and wanton destruction of our own beloved country

#3 I think the American public is also underwhelmed by the war drum nonsense. Everyone gets that it's empty posturing.

#4 Either way, nothing to be gained by sticking our noses into it.

#5 All they want is Ukraine to be isolated, defenseless... they have no designs on them, no!

Ferret, are you really that gullible?

#6 Ukraine has no chance of getting into NATO in the next ten years more.

Nobody will attack Crimea, and Sewastopol is safe.

So this is BS.

#7 A military, whose head is Joe Headroom, a command which thinks SU-27s are USAF, headlined by Island Boys and the Paratroopettes, to attack Russia, in the Winter, to line the purses of politicians.

Even the diphawks are saying no thanks.

#8 "War delayed as Biden inserts more equipment, pallets of cash to be captured."

If so, then it costs us absolutely nothing to ratify this formally in a treaty. In fact, it's insane not to make a concession which is meaningless to your side and deeply desired by the other side.

Obviously, our only good outcome here is a negotiated agreement.

Time to stop hysterical bleating about 'invasion' (or is it a "limited incursion"?) and send in some skilled, intelligent negotiators like Nick Burns.

#10 "Why is that so hard for our idiot-Woke leaders to understand?" Judging by Trudeau's latest it seems liberals are no longer capable of any kind of compromise. They want it their way, and they want it now!
