Neo-cons are back in driver seat

No, it isn’t the Soviet Union or NAZI Germany. However, he did give as part of his rationale for invading Ukraine an historical unity between Russia and Ukraine. That same rationale could be used to lay claim to the “U” countries. It could also be used to lay claim to the Baltic countries and to some extent Finland. All he has to do is decide that :“NAZIs are taking over X” and in he goes with full justification in his mind.

We don’t go in and directly confront him in Ukraine…not with nuclear weapons at issue. But we have every legitimate right to feed Ukraine defensive weapons. Also, block off Russia from all trade and stop giving them diplomatic legitimacy as we just did with the Iran negotiations.
Just make it very painful for them to stay in Ukraine and make them realize they can’t continue to pull this sort of thing elsewhere.
There was only so far we would allow nuclear blackmail to get the Soviet Union and the same thing needs to hold now.

Putin may think he’s justified into going into other countries.

That’s different from having the practical means to do so.

He doesn’t.

That’s why he will stop here.

Remember all that talk about how those people claimed to have learned their lesson Iraq? Well they’re back.

Nothing good can come of it.

Now the dem are a bunch of Neocons too. WW3 started with the " Arab Spring" in Libya and Syria.
Countries not going along with the globalist agenda.

Gonna have to agree to disagree. NATO was no threat to Putin.

Going to have to disagree.

NATO is defensive, not offensive. As long as Russia left NATO countries alone they were in zero danger of attack. Basically a “don’t start anything, there won’t be anything” scenario.

While this is obviously true from our point of view (the West definitely fears a nuclear exchange- possibly more than Russia does), from their point of view, that idea went out the window when NATO went into Serbia without UN sanction.

An action that actually almost led to a nuclear exchange, btw.

NATO never lies and is never and will never be duplicitous. Putin can take their word to the bank.

Gullible much ?

NATO is the military arm of the EU.

Just that democrats have adopted John Bolton neo-con policies. Congrats libs. Always though you were one and the same.

Wrong again. NATO is military arm for European expansionism. And yes they have attacked countries that haven’t attacked single NATO country.

[conan]

Just like NATO wasn’t going to expand beyond East Germany borders after unification.

Pardon me for believing that NATO as designed is defensive in nature. Pardon me for not falling down the conspiracy theorist rabbit hole.

Here's what NATO's Article 5 is and how it applies to Russia's invasion of...

Watch this get amplified

[conan]

Think it’s just coincidence between NATO expansion and EU expansion?

Just luck of the draw?

Or are you talking about Yugoslavia and Libya…where not one single NATO country was attacked but NATO attacked first?

How is supplying arms to Ukraine similar to neo-con policies such as invading Iraq?

Why do you want a pardon from me? If you are doing wrong…change.

[conan]

Expansion policies of EU is very neo-conish.

[WuWei]

Arrogant as hell.

[conan]

Indeed.

They remind of that guy in the circle at a fight he started throwing a punch over somebody else’s shoulder and then looking like “Who me?”
