Evacuation of US Embassy in Ukraine

Im pretty certain NATO won’t just sit back tho if there is a full scale invasion. I don’t know what they would do but Id be surprised if it was just sanctions and arms to rebels.

NATO doesn’t have any binding commitments to Kyiv.

You mean bending over for EU don’t you? :wink:

Just like any negotiation…you demand more and meet in middle.

Sorry I meant EU/US

They… not me.

Obama decided to make Russia a big bad enemy again a year earlier because the Russian families had their legislature create a bill to protect children from homosex predators…

for the Purpose of Protecting Children from Information Advocating for a Denial of Traditional Family Values

And that infuriated Obama’s base. Things were pretty good till that happened

Thanks but libs here don’t care…they want to label me as Putin boy.

Then join the EU and for them at their expense.

What could the US reasonably do militarily that won’t escalate?

Even sanctions would be problematic, and useless.

Say what you will about Putin, but he had the same insight as OBL: the US has fractures that are easy to exploit. Why would Russia swallow Ukraine whole when it can just do a regime change, dare the US to be hypocritical about it, and then reach a similar accord with the new ‘legitimate’ government as it has with Byelorus?

So what…European “EU” should form their own defense then.

Fortress America is even stupider than it seems on paper.

In this case, wagging the dog will not help him.

And we are not obligated to defend Ukraine. If Europe wants Ukraine as EU member then we should be defending EU.

It’s nothing more then EU expansionism at our expense.

Biden probably actually means to stop Putin. US polling would show not to start a conflict over Ukraine; it definitely doesn’t show anything like a ‘wag the dog’ distraction type of outcome.

Who’s talking about fortress America.

No, this is never as simple as you think it is. Brussels, for all its flaws, has a clear sense of its natural limit. There is no will among the northern countries to absorb more developmentally troubled regions, and no will to add capital flight zones among the southern ones still trying to find a solution to ‘everyone else’ serving as export zones for German overproduction.

The US that leaves Europe ‘alone’ becomes a self-devouring Fortress America.

I don’t think anyone, including Biden, knows what Biden means to do.

Joe Biden is not senile. He is old, and has useless and non-agile views of the world, roughly in keeping with the rest of the gerontocracy corporate America is more than happy to tolerate as gatekeepers.

Russia takes Ukraine under Obama.
Russia threatens to take all of Ukraine under Biden.
The big question is not what do Trump supporters think about Russian aggression.
