Russia Declares War on Ukraine<<MOD WARNING>>

NATO has several members bordering Russia, and for good reason, while Ukraine was - and remains - still far away from even having a good chance of qualifying to join NATO, let alone joining it. All it has and has had is a leader who talked about joining precisely because he feared that what your militaristic regime is doing right would occur without NATO protection. Obviously he was right.

Putin wants Ukraine under his control, and that is all there is to it. He is a despot and autocrat seeking to restore some twisted vision of a long-lost Russian empire and the Soviet Union that he loved, the fall of which he bemoaned as a catastrophe.

Putin is using NATO as a lame excuse and you, probably for a paycheck, are repeating that lame excuse here nonstop.

 

Russkie Occupiers left their dead to rot between garbage and dirt. Their lack of civilization is so damn obvious!

They don't just hate Ukrainians. Russians have no respect for any human life.

 

Remember when Trump warned Germany to not get dependant on Russian energy? Remember that?

He was right, Merkle. How's that working out for ya right about now?

 

Yep. Trump was right and he was ridiculed for it at the time.

 

Trump said the same thing every other president had said. Trump failed to accomplish anything, however, since he was utterly ineffective as a politician and leader. This is why you don't just elect any old dumbass who says things that sound good to you.

 

dipshit progressives hot take at the time - "it's just another thing Trump is saying that's ridiculous!"

lol.

 

Another result of the Pootster's stupid decision to invade Ukraine.
Finland debates joining NATO, which would expand the alliance Putin hates
By Emily Rauhala and Missy Ryan

• Analysis: Finland joining NATO could put Trump’s GOP in the hot seat

 

Donny doesn't know what he wants. He loves P00tin, but warns against him.

 

Or maybe...just MAYBE...the Russian collusion stuff was all nonsense and maybe JUST MAYBE he's American and pro west first and foremost?

 

O'rly? The only thing I can find from Obama on the subject is from this;
https://www.theguardian.com/world/2014/may/02/obama-merkel-warn-russia-economic-sanctions-ukraine

"“Energy flows from Russia to Europe, those continued even in the midst of the cold war – at the the height of the cold war,” Obama said. "The idea that you're going to turn off the tap to all Russian oil and natural gas exports is, I think, unrealistic.""

Not exactly a warning to not increase energy dependence on Russia, is it? Kind of sounds more complacent. "It is what it be" - Obama.

 

Nope, the Donald is neither pro-American nor pro-Western. He's a blatant egocentric who only cares about himself.

I'm very sure that Donald would even help Putin to destroy Ukraine if he had an advantage of it.

 

Oh go away with your dog **** hot takes. Nobody is buying it anymore. Enjoy your woke gas prices and food shortages.

It's 3 p.m. in Kyiv. Here's what you need to know

Finnish Prime Minister Sanna Marin said the country is expected to decide within weeks rather than months whether it will apply for membership to NATO, while her Swedish counterpart Magdalena Andersson said her country was still weighing up the decision.

The decision could be a significant blow to Russian President Vladimir Putin, whose war has united the West against Moscow in ways that seemed unimaginable in January.

Meanwhile, French President Emmanuel Macron declined to refer to Russian actions in Ukraine as "genocide," saying: “I would be careful with such terms today because these two peoples [Russians and Ukrainians] are brothers.” His comment came the day after US President Joe Biden described the atrocities in Ukraine as "genocide" for the first time.

Ukrainian officials say nearly 200 children have been killed and more than 300 others injured since Russia's invasion began.

Here are the latest developments on the war in Ukraine:

• Finland and Sweden to make NATO decision: Finland is expected to decide "within weeks" rather than months whether it will apply for membership to NATO, the Finnish Prime Minister said Wednesday. Speaking in Stockholm following a bilateral meeting with Swedish Prime Minister Magdalena Andersson, Sanna Marin said it would be best to coordinate with Sweden to make similar security decisions.
• Ukraine hails "risky maneuver" in Mariupol: A Ukrainian presidential adviser said that after a "risky maneuver" the last remaining defenders of the besieged port city of Mariupol have been able to join forces. Oleksiy Arestovych said the "units of the 36th Independent Marine Brigade broke through to [join] the Azov regiment," consolidating Ukraine's position against the Russian offensive.
• Questions over chemical weapon use: Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said he cannot say with certainty if chemical weapons were used in Mariupol. His comments follow unverified reports of a possible such strike in the city. The US and the UK said they were working to verify the details but have not confirmed their use.
• Biden labels atrocities "genocide": The US President said Russian actions being uncovered in Ukraine qualify as genocide, a designation he’d previously avoided but said he now believes is warranted as scenes of devastation emerge from towns previously overrun by Russian troops. It was a dramatic rhetorical escalation in the US view of what is happening on the ground and garnered near-immediate praise from Zelensky. The US government rarely uses the term genocide.
• Macron declines to use term "genocide": In an interview with public broadcaster France 2, the French President rejected the use of the term "genocide" to refer to Russian actions in Ukraine. “I want to continue to try, as much as I can, to stop this war and rebuild peace. I am not sure that an escalation of rhetoric serves that cause," he said.
• Nearly 200 children killed in conflict: Some 191 children have been killed and 349 others injured in Ukraine since the start of the Russian invasion on February 24, Ukrainian prosecutors said in a news release on Wednesday. The United Nations said separately that at least 1,892 civilians had been killed and 2,558 injured since the war began.
• No evacuation routes opened: There will be no evacuation corridors for civilians in Ukraine on Wednesday, the country's Deputy Prime Minister Iryna Vereshchuk said in a statement. Vereshchuk blamed Russian troops for creating a dangerous situation along the routes.
• Russia begins redeploying forces: Satellite images captured on Monday show Russian forces redeploying and moving into eastern Ukraine. The deployments consist of dozens of armored vehicles, troops with tents and support equipment, the images appear to show.
• European presidents to meet Zelensky: The presidents of the Baltic states and Poland are on their way to the Ukrainian capital, Kyiv, to meet with Zelensky.
• On the ground: The Ukrainian military reported heavy fighting in the southeastern region of Zaporizhzhia on Tuesday, saying a five-hour battle took place in the Polohy district as Ukrainian forces tried to liberate the area. Polohy is northeast of the Russian-occupied city of Melitopol. The Pentagon assesses that Mariupol remains contested amid Russia’s bombardment.

I enjoy the high morale of my community, which stands united against felons like P00tin.

 

And then the idiots who succeeded Trump lifted the sanctions on Nord Stream 2 and launched a war on the U.S. oil and gas industry that it is still waging today.

Then to double down on the stupidity of aiding America's enemies, what do they do? Run to the Stalinists in Venezuela and the "Death to America!" crowd in Tehran....

"It is what it be" - Obamana

 

Trump should have taken Putin's dick out of his mouth before complaining about Nordstream 2. Maybe then the Germans would have taken him a little more seriously.

 

First Thing: Biden accuses Putin of committing genocide in Ukraine (msn.com)

Joe Biden has accused Russia of carrying out genocide in Ukraine, saying that Vladimir Putin is “trying to wipe out the idea of even being Ukrainian”.

Biden has been consistently outspoken in denouncing Russian wholesale killing of Ukrainian civilians, labelling Putin a “war criminal” in mid-March. Multiple investigations are under way into Russian atrocities in Ukraine, which include the razing of Mariupol and the executions of civilians in the Kyiv suburb of Bucha.

The prosecutor at the international criminal court in The Hague opened a case in February saying there was “a reasonable basis to believe that both alleged war crimes and crimes against humanity have been committed in Ukraine”.

Proving a case under the 1948 Genocide Convention requires an “intent [by the accused] to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group”.

Joe Biden has a right idea here. Vladimir Putin is committing a genocide. Putin is probably ordering one in Ukraine. Hitler did order genocide to kill the Jewish people and then all others except the blond hair blue eyed white people. It all tells me that Putin wants power over Ukraine and won't stop until he gets it.

 

It’s not even oil. Why not widely promote nuclear power plants? You need to “fuel” them just about once every 5 years and they run continuously. While nuclear waste is a concern, it can always be buried in some old deep mine.
Europeans, in the name of the environment, opted to start closing their nuclear power plants and use more natural gas, which is cleaner, but still releases tons of CO2 into the atmosphere. European idiocy with energy is beyond insane, especially considering the giant neighbor they have. Nuclear power plants release no emission into the atmosphere and can provide energy even when you literally have no raw materials for anything - shouldn’t that be tree-huggers best dream?

 

Actually, Obama did that, and who was Obama's Vice President and foreign policy "expert"?

Actually, you voted for the idiots who stuck Putin's dick in their mouths - Obama and Biden...



As for the Germans, they were just as stupid as the TDS Sufferers back here in the U.S....

 

Keeping my fingers crossed.
