    Not much different than fox, cnn & msnbc.....all propaganda and very partisan. They need to get back to unbiased news reporting.
    Anymore any venue that has a voice seems to be projecting biased opinions rather than healthy debate/discussion with respect.

    ChinaJoe was installed to create this war, and every action he has taken, and every action he has slowed, have successfully prolonged it. Hope you lefties are proud of the blood on your hands.

    Oh I get it….. Biden is like Supreme leader Snoke and Putin is Emperor Palpatine. Does that make Trump the General Hux of this little shindig?

    Every president in my lifetime, going back to just after JFK, is a traitor to America.

    America is run by the most corrupt and cruel people to ever run any country, ever.

    I understand his concern about NATO but he fails to bring up Putins brutal aggressions into Chechnya & Georgia. If Latvia, Lithuania stayed out of NATO do your really think Putin wouldn't have brutally taken them?

    Baltic states in north-eastern Europe, which are now members of the EU and NATO, were invaded and occupied in June 1940 by the Soviet Union. They remained within the USSR until its collapse in 1991.

    It may be my literal thinking here but, Putin hasn't taken Latvia nor Lithuania.

    So, what are you asking?

    He hasn’t taken them because they’re in NATO.

    Not asking just stating if they weren't part of and under the NATO’s Putin would be aggressive.

    Actually, you did ask. If you had stated in the first place, I wouldn't have had to ask myself. :tongue:

    Would Putin attack Latvia and Lithuania if they weren't under NATO's umbrella? Hard for me to say as he may still go there. We don't know his full intentions yet. On the other hand, I do understand that Putin has stated that Ukraine joining NATO starts WWIII. And yet America stills meddles in Ukraine even knowing this. Poking the bear, literally, clearly isn't good foreign policy. Especially a nuclear armed bear.

    A better question would be. Is it NATO/America meddling, Oil/Energy or Putin wanting to rebuild Russia to it's old glory days? Or a bit of all three, and than some?

    NATO is a defensive organization so it can’t be considered a threat. It’s horse shit that they claim otherwise. Putin was just pissed because he was aspiring to take it back. He knew if Ukraine joined NATO he couldn’t attack. It’s absurd that a country wanting to be safe and protected from aggression is considered an act or war. Fuck that.
