Eastern Ukraine is Russian, 90 percent of the people are ethnic Russians. The areas were "gifted" to Ukraine SSR by Stalin in 1922.

Why is the US backing Soviet shifting lines on a map? People make a nation.

Russia will defend Russians. Too bad Biden won't protect Americans (rampant crime, open borders, etc)

Bottom line- why is any of this the business of America?

How about those guys so wanting to fight on Jan. 6. Brave souls that they think they are. Send them all to the war.

There is a Russian citizen who has a channel on YouTube named "Baklykov.Live" who has been around a long time on YouTube. He's in St Petersburg and explains the crimes of the Ukrainians against ethnic Russians. He's just one guy in Russia and certainly doesn't seem to care what the outside world thinks of him.

Apparently Ukrainian fighters are using civilians as human shields.

Zelensky is probably checking his long-term Swiss bank account to see how much he's klepto'd out of the country. I hear he's already fled Ukraine for the US Embassy in Poland (better Internet for checking the Swiss accounts).

Given some of the outrageous statements/lies and obvious 'Putin fanboy' posts, have been thinking the same thing. While highly unlikely, given that TOTV is so small, there's no question that some people - definitely need to change channels.

I don't believe that unarmed protests is criteria for armed combat.

The problem with that, is Putin already has enough soldiers and doesn't need any more.

The EU Council on Foreign Relations issued a report in 2018 that specifically said Ukraine is a kleptocracy.

Ukraine on the brink of kleptocracy – European Council on Foreign Relations

There is no debate the Ukrainians have been waging war against their own citizens close to Russia.

Don't underestimate the power of a shared goal though, that being destroying our democracy from within and spitting on our Constitution.

The first clue to a factual accounting of history, is the year of the report and who was running Ukraine at the time. The second clue is...well, Google is your friend.

Rumor has it that Zelensky is in the US Embassy in Poland. I will be surprised if he doesn't end up in the US mysteriously buying a huge mansion somewhere.
