@greattime860 : You realise that Ukraine is NOT in Russia, right? WTF right does Putin have to decide how independent countries should run their own affairs? Russia has a legitimate concern, about the possibility of Ukraine joining NATO and housing US nukes on their border, but that was vanishingly unlikely even before the war started. Even America never INVADED Cuba when the Russians tried to do the same thing Putin is complaining about now, madam! Do you read history? I thought all you communists were obsessed with history?

@greattime860 : And no: Biden has NEVER, “promised,” anything specific to Ukraine. You’re making that up. He and the west have only ever promised, “support,” and other weasel words of little account. The west SHOULD send their armies in to stomp Putin’s megalomaniac tendencies, until he has to flee back to his hollowed out volcano in St Petersburg, but that’s unlikely to happen. But they will see to it that occupying Ukraine will break the Russian economy, and the people of Russia will overthrow Putin when they begin to starve. Their protests have already been on the increase, and the people being interviewed on the streets are all pretty United in their opposition to this invasion. Watch and see. You’ll see . . .

@1987kahil : Factually wrong at every level, ma’am. They have bombed every airport in Ukraine. Those are commercial, not military targets. People’s homes are burning, thousands fleeing west, and the body count is already climbing, so the Russians are either terrible shots or they’re lying to you. And, given this is the same guy who said, “We have no intention of invading,” right up until he actually began an INVASION and even after it began, I think it’s an empirical fact that Russian media lies as casually as a six year old with behaviour problems, or a Donald trump, don’t you? And your size assessment of Russia’s military is both wrong and irrelevant. North Korea has a million troops in their army at minimum, but no one takes them seriously as a threat, because they’re broke. Russia is only a, “super power,” because it has wasted its economy on nukes since the 1950’s, but they are losing all traction in the world, which is why Putin is getting so desperate now. The people are so poor they are demanding democracy and being locked up for expressing free speech on an annual basis now. Occupying Ukraine will break their bank and Putin will have to dip into his own stolen money to keep the military afloat. And you have NO LEGITIMATE excuses for WHY he’s invading Ukraine. His people don’t want this. The Ukrainians don’t want this. And he has no REASON other than megalomania to even do this! He’s mad! I wonder what will happen when he gets a terminal diagnosis from his doctors? He might just decide to take us all out with him? Maybe that’s what’s happened? That really WOULD be, “the end of history,” to quote the PooTin himself. 🤦‍♂️

@deanjoseph4792 : You may not have been watching the news lately, but Russia is doing the attacking, not defending squat, so . . . 🤷‍♂️
