    Perfect time for a neutron bomb.

    Which one, the one that eats children alive and then sells the others for sex slavery or the one the Democrats fabricate for the media?

    The withdrawn troops were withdrawn to areas near the borders with Ukraine.

    Hope war can be avoided but Putin usually follows through on these invasions.

    Putin is playing games. He will eventually attack Ukraine and then blame it on the US. He has already set the foundation with his impractical demands that Ukraine be banned from joining NATO.

    I guess we’re all just pretending Biden isn’t trying to send our children to defend his personal financial interests in a country he and his scumbag kid have long been known to have questionable dealings in.

    Funny how we pick and choose which foreign countries to give a fuck about. Genocide in Yemen? Fuck em. Ukrainian gas companies our potato-brained President and his crackhead son have interests in potentially losing profit? Humanitarian crisis. Better go save them like we did Iraq and Afghanistan.

    I think I’ve got some old Halliburton bibs from my oilfield days I can throw on to get in the spirit!

    I'm pretty sure no one is sending troops to help Ukraine. Biden does have some tough words for Putin, I know that's different than we are use to but that's about all that's going on at this point. We are apparently ceding all oil and gas reserves in the Ukraine to Russia which is apparently exactly what you want? Not sure what this rant is about?

    If Ukraine not joining NATO prevents war, they should do it. Not worth it.
    But, whenever Putin has his sites on a country he invades.

    Russia does not get to dictate who joins NATO.

    They think they can with Ukraine, however. Alternative is war and invasion.

    US troops are being stationed in Poland, Romania and other Eastern European countries as a direct response to this. It is quite literally sending troops to help Ukraine, not sure how you are managing to spin an alternate version of a blatant reality here. Deploying the military is more significant than the baked potato having ‘tough words’ for Russia.

    Can’t imagine why you didn’t attempt to refute anything I said.

    If that stopped war I would be fine with it. It didn't look like the Ukraine was going to get their NATO bid anytime soon anyway. I think it's just a convenient excuse for Putin though and caving on this could embolden him and set a dangerous precedent. Ukraine gave up their nukes in 1994 on a personal security gurantee by Russia. Bet they are regretting that. I wonder if giving Russia the Donetsk region would be enough also? They are basically Russian hicks anyway. It comes down to what Putin's motives are and I wouldn't be surprised if both issues came up in last second negotiations.
