Not my president. Trump may do that but I'd NEVER vote for anyone so weak on Russia and other dictators.

You can vote for Putin-lovers, I will NEVER support them or you!!!
I could give a rat's a$$ who you support. When are you enlisting, killer?

Wasn't FDR friends with Stalin and gave half of Europe to him to avoid WW 3? Didn't Reagan called the Taliban "freedom fighters" and sold arms to terrorists and ran cocaine to fund an illegal war??

The U.S. today supports 87% of the world's dictators. You think the U.S. sends them monthly memos by insulting them? You voted for Obama and Biden, so it makes your statement silly.

Tell me again how Putin violates your rights in America?

None of these blow hard threads or posts know a damn thing that went on behind the scenes. It's all a bunch of emotionally charged factless junk.

Because, it is smart to see the obvious and deal with reality.

Ukraine ain't fightin-off Russia and nobody is gonna step-in to that fray.

Ukraine might have been able to negotiate a "deal" before being invaded........now,
nope, Russia has little if any need for any more talk.

Does anyone really think Kamala or Blinken threatening sanctions would impact Putin's plans in any way? This is like Taliban, part 2. I really wonder what's worse - Putin's traitor puppets like Trump/Tulsi/Tucker, or inept appeasers like Biden & Blinken?
Agree there shouldn't have been, because its none of our business.

The US is the ONLY nation to ever have used nuclear weapons against an enemy, and not only once either!


I dont think many people look at it from this perspective. The US is the country that the global community should demand has NO access to nukes.

Because there is virtual world of official propaganda and mass media for crowds and, there is the real world of how to survive or maintain your country integrity and safety and stability and, some level of normal population existence, or it will smite you.
This is why as Russia is someone to COUNT WITH.

Why Were There Negotiations with Russia?

I suppose because history has shown us that sometimes it works. Ask Finland and Austria.

Because back in the days of Saddam, we actually had a formidable military that they world respected and feared and competent military leadership (most importantly). We no longer have that, we just got our butts handed to us a few months ago, we're ridiculed throughout the world, and our leadership is about as incompetent as it has ever been in the history of this nation. But no worries, our military high command has seen to it that the soldiers will respect your preferring pronoun. Meanwhile, every tyrant in the world has a green light. Ukraine won't be the last nation to fall. Look for plenty more until we clean house in DC and get our own nation in order. And gain some respect again.

Negotiations are always a better alternative to war, killing each other is a lousy alternative.

Maybe you weren't born then or called in sick during history class. The U.S. negotiated with Saddam under Reagan and then HW Bush. We gave him chemicals to use on Iran but when are you enlisting, killer?
