Putin intends to take back Ukraine piece by piece so it doesn't appear to the West to be a full-on invasion.

But Hitler was busy murdering millions of jews. That was the real issue.

His real aim was to invade all of europe and kill the jews... much different than what is going on here.

If the zones he takes the people are pro Russia and they speak the same language and have the same culture then what's the crisis? Why is that our problem?


Russia will take the zones that the people welcome the Russian government and wants to be part of Russia and not whatever you call the government of Ukraine. Again, it's their issue.

Greatest troll of all-time would be if Putin had the troops wearing Hawaiian shirts and claimed they were tourists out sight-seeing.

Putin realizes the American public won't stand for Biden putting US troops in harms way. Calling it peacekeeping mission let's Biden (sort of ) save face.

I guess people in the Russian Ukraine are more than happy to be protected from Ukrainian army attacks and killings.

What happens in the Gaza Strip now? Civilians are killed and starved to death.

Why wouldn't NATO send troops and heavy weapons to the Gaza Strip to protect democracy?

Can’t be an invasion, Biden and NATO gave Putin a strongly worded letter to not do that.

Not at the time. The Holocaust hadn't really gotten cranked up yet. Sudentenland was about Hitler grabbing territory to expand Germany. And the present situation is about Putin grabbing territory to expand Russia.
