Best article about the war I read:

"This isn’t a war for Ukraine, it’s a war for the future of the entire world. Ukraine represents the hill both Davos and Russia have chosen to live or die on."

Zelensky is a corrupt little man in charge of a corrupt little country of kleptocrats. He was installed by a CIA backed coup under Obama.

Never forget, Zelensky will leave Ukraine a rich man. The entire country is corrupt including the judiciary.

NATO itself includes Turkey which is run by a dictator and oppresses its own people.

I will say they don't give sex changes to small children there though like the USA does here.

Zelenskyy was elected President of Ukraine on 21 April 2019!

Another thing I thought I'd never see in my lifetime. I thought we had this all figured out. I always wondered what was going through the heads of the British, French and Americans as Hitler invaded Poland. Of course, I was looking at it through the lens of history books, and movies and TV shows written and produced years after the Rise and Fall. It all makes so much more sense when you know how it all turns out.
Now, as an old man, I guess I am finding out how the rest of the world thinks and acts when an aggressive madman uses his military might to crush a weaker neighbor. We hope it all ends well enough, but we are so afraid (not unjustly so) of escalation that we hold back on the military action that essentially is the only language men like Hitler and Putin understand.

But, I also thought I'd never see a crowd of flag waving Americans break into the Capitol Building, stirred up by the words of a President who refused to acknowledge the results of an election. I am trying not to lose sleep wondering what the next "think I never thought I'd see" will be.

1) putin - has he given a public statement as to why and what he hopes to accomplish by sending in the military, bombing, destroying and killing so many thousand of ukrainians? I realize that ukrain was once part of the ussr before it broke up. Is this an ego trip for putin to seek revenge....a power play? What does he accomplish with his military actions?

2) what is nato and, especially, america doing about putin's invasion. I understand that we and some nato nations have imposed "sanctions" on russia and i am told those sanctions have frozen russia financial assets around the globe. So, is that a big deal? Sounds to me like a slap on the wrist: "vladamir, you're a bad, bad boy. Go sit in the corner and think about what you did'? I hope, and more especially i pray , that this situation doesn't end up with wwiii. But how can we and other nato nations stop this massacre without sending in our troops and have american life's lost? Or should we just stay the hell out of the situation?

3) if we or any other nato nation sends in troops and goes head to head with russia, will china join in with russian forces against us.....how about north korea or isis forces.

the evil empire never left .i agree with prayer

Putin is cleaning out the deep state in Ukraine which is one of the most corrupt countries. He is cleaning out the bioweapon labs put there by the US. It is the Ukrainians who are harming their own people, not Putin. Taiwan will be next since they have bioweapon labs there also.

Putin wants his legacy to be that he put the USSR back together.

Yes, because ALL countries that do not conform must have "bioweapon labs there also."


Of course, it is NOT because Putin is a bully, maniac. He is a true patriot and saint, just trying to make the world a better place...

Well said. Gee imagine what this “aggressive imperialist” country of ours could have done if it wanted to. God bless America!! We are trying to avert wars not cause them.

How Christian nations can set back and watch this play out and do nothing, is beyond my imagination! Death is certain for all but, being afraid to step up and kick Putin’s ass as one World against Two Bullying countries, is the Saddest of man kind!
