Ahh... "American Thinker". The same rag that pushed the Big Lie conspiracy theories including false claims against Dominion Voting Systems...

We received a lengthy letter from Dominion's defamation lawyers explaining why they believe that their client has been the victim of defamatorystatements. Having considered the full import of the letter, we have agreed to their reques...

MSgt Steve Sweeney - No I'm not going to hold one administration to the promises of another. By now, EVERY other country should know the official US position on any issue is highly likely to change any time the President changes and somewhat likely to change with every federal election cycle; unless we put it into a treaty AND it is ratified by the Senate.
But I think it is fair to say that:
_Russia views every addition to NATO as a "threat."
_Russia wants a non-NATO buffer state between itself and any NATO state
_Putin is not crazy, but he probably miscalculated Ukrainian resistance and the response from the West
_China is paying close attention.

Maj John Bell - Russia can view and want whatever they like. None of it justifies their current actions. Bush withdrawing from a treaty does not. Ukraine "belonging" to Russia in the past does not... A large chuck of the United States "belonged" to Mexico in the past... that argument doesn't fly. The whole piece is an attempted justification of Russian aggression against a weak neighbor saying the weak neighbor could end the aggression if they just capitulated... as if that has ever stopped a bully like Putin. Sounds like f'n Neville Chamberlin.
So Terrence fucknuts there can spread all the Russian propaganda he likes. The 1st Amendment allows him to do so. It also allows me to tell him what a moron he is. If he wants to take up for the likes of Putin and absorb his information from impotent, deceitful, scurrilous rags like "American Thinker" simply because the title of the publication strokes his little ego and gives him the impression that he is smarter than he is ... well, that is his choice, but I am of the mind that me pointing out he is an idiot being led around by the nose is the least of the consequences he will need to reckon with. There is always a reckoning.

Maj John Bell - You tell me... with lines such as "This war is the West's fault, not Putin's." What do you think?

That's certainly the Russian view of it. The reality in the ground belies the idea that they are all one people who want to be together.
As far as 2014, it was the Ukrainian assembly that removed the then president as they had the constitutional power to do. We didn't do it and we were not meddling any more than Russia was.

When it comes to the Ukraine our answer was loud and clear today. Our intent is to virtue signal and do nothing more. When it comes to helping the Ukraine, the VP pledged nothing more than hysterical laughter and cackling when responding to simple questions. Today VP Harris made it clear we don't intend to do anything more than we already have. The Ukraine is on their own. NATO does not have the appetite to stand up to Putin or show any sort of willingness to draw a line in the sand. We sent our 2nd stringer to reaffirm we have done all we are going to do. Yes, we missed our opportunity to do anything prior to the invasion and now it's too late. But to continue to look weak and incompetent on the world stage is something that will come back to haunt us for years to come.

Well at least we did more than shake our fist. Now lets see how the long haul goes. Long term war win or lose still scuttles the Ukraine (Ukraine I joined in 84)

Every decision made in a vacuum based on polls. When will “what is right”, be the only measurement of our responses???

1SG (Join to see) I agree. We failed the Ukrainians years ago and now they're paying for it. Sadly we could have avoided this if we were sending the kind of weapons were sending now as late as 3 years ago. Now were just extending the Carnage and destroying the Ukraine. Even if Russia eventually pulls back, the damage has been done, and their country's been bombed into the stone age.
