The Crazy SOB Actually Did it!

[indianasmith]

Putin appears to be launching a full-on military invasion of Ukraine.
I had truly hoped he was bluffing!   This could really be the beginning of World War 3 . . .

And our former President is praising Putin for it!
If anyone ever doubted what a despicable traitor Donald Trump is, here's the proof - our ally is under attack, and he's praising the dictator launching the attack!
Just . . . awful.

[ER]

Awful.

what did trump say?

Great. Just great. I'm only hoped that Alberto Fernandez (President of Argentina, my country) for one time in his life don't say anything, don't think anything, because each time he speaks, or he contrary himself, or for worst, said what you really want to hear. Even if those words are antagonist between them.

I mean, the guy could tell to Ukrainians "We, Argentina, supports you, we believe in Freedom, in Justice, in Democracy, in Equality, and we don't want that any country in the World be invaded for anyone, specially for those Great Power Nations that along the History of Humankind were and still they are abusing disadvantaged countries". And, at the same time, he could twit "Vlad, you are doing well".

What a jerk.

what did trump say?

For the most part, he said he wanted to French kiss Putin. Or toss his salad.

[RCMerchant]

Myself- I could give a rat's ass about the Ukraine- they're almost as bad as Russia.
But yeah- Putin's pushing his luck too far. He may end up biting his own ass.
What Russia is doing is similar to what Germany did with Poland in 1939. Hitler claimed Poland attacked at the border to Germany (they didn't), so he blitzed them.
Yeah, this could go bad.

I wouldn't worry too much at the moment about the war spreading. The world has known this was going to happen for months (if not longer). If any of our countries were going to get involved, we'd already have troops on the ground over there. We'll give material support, put sanctions in place that won't change much. Of more consequence for us directly will be the effect on food prices as well as natural gas. I'd imagine there are a lot of people in Europe who will be facing a very expensive or cold winter.

Unless Russia starts doing something the rest of the world can't ignore then I think Putin will get away with this one sadly.

My sympathies lie with the Ukrainian people. I hope they are able to defend their country successfully.

Trump continues to be a national embarrassment and water is wet

I have friends in Ukraine. 

I don't have much context for this picture she posted. Caption says it's Kiev.

I hope your friend is able to stay safe.

Yeh-missiles are flying now on 3 fronts.

We knew something like this was gonna happen if they kept expanding NATO.

[Alex]

Don't forget Putin has been pulling the same s**t with Georgia* which is nowhere near NATO territory. He has said several times he wants to rebuild the USSR. This was going to happen regardless.

* Not to forget Moldavia and Chechnya as well.

Agreed.

[lester1/2jr]

He has said several times he wants to rebuild the USSR.

that is neither here nor there. the direct cause of this conflagration is Ukraine possibly entering into NATO and the US setting up shop on russia's border. both sides have addressed this issue numerous times in the days and weeks preceding this
