Someone needs to ask the logical question to USSR. So where does it end? There are ethnic Russians in the Baltics and Balkans. Hell, there are ethnic Russians all around the world. Do you feel entitled to those territories as well? Please define your perceived borders so we understand them.

Did the Russian rep really say that they weren't signatories to the Minsk Agreements? That's some revisionist history.

Unfortunately, I truly believe these puppets believe this stuff.

They said they are not a party to it and don't have obligations. They say Ukraine not following it and they want it enforced.

Some Russian nationalists do.

Appeasement worked really well in 1930

100%, they are using this playbook down the road in the Baltics if we misstep

Hahaha!

Russia deserves strong sanctions, and Ukraine gets weapons.

Outside of that, its not worth spending American blood.

Which could prove to be a very short road.

It's just like that song

Well, I tumble outta bed and stumble to the kitchen
Pour myself a cup of ambition
Yawn and stretch and try to come to life
Jump in the shower and the blood starts pumping
Out in Kiev, the tanks start jumping

Interesting moment.. Ukraine's Ambassador to the UN pointed out the shocking similarities between the decree issued by Putin for Georgia in 2008 and the latest decree issued for Ukraine. pic.twitter.com/mfdmPV3aMI

Same playbook.

It'll continue to be until someone forces them to change it. IF anyone ever forces them to change it. If there's anyone left by the time NATO's balls drop.

For the dummy in the room can someone please explain why Russia is wanting to invade and what they
Expect to gain from it. Serious question because I can't seem to figure out what's going on.

What pod format do you use?

Kenya makes strong statement opposing the undermining of the sovereignty & territorial integrity of #Ukraine during the emergency meeting of the #SecurityCouncil at 9pm on 21st February. See full statement delivered below 👇🏿 pic.twitter.com/3S36UNW7OE

If you look at the evolution of this crisis, Putin's grievances, and the disposition of Russian forces, it suggests that this is a play for Ukraine, with maximalist aims. Recognition of DNR/LNR is just a significant political step in that rapidly unfolding scheme.

China speaking now.

Very short statement. Said they encourage all parties to resolve issues peacefully and in accordance with the UN charter.

---

My worry with China is the language they're using. Very easy for them to twist the situation in Ukraine to draw parallels to China and Taiwan.

I've been saying that

Edit: This time I doubt they'll stop with the separatists. They want regime change.

I think many of us have been saying that. Myself included.

Foxnews is not even mentioning Russia.
CNN has it on like it is election night.
Something doesn't add up.

Possibly Russian cyber attacks on web communication have begun. I emailed a Ukrainian acquaintance in-country via gmail this afternoon to provide a quick message of prayer and support.

Just checked back on our conversation and JUST the most recent two emails from today have been wiped, with the message "This message cannot be displayed because a problem repeatedly occurred", though time stamp and record of them remains. Just content is unavailable. All others from prior dates are available.

Odd, as it is GMail and I've never had this happen to any other thread for years. It's even wiped in my outbox. Isht.

Tucker has been going hard on "Eff Ukraine" so I assume that whoever dictates content either doesn't want to generate sympathy for them or they truly feel that a significant enough portion of their viewership is anti-Ukrainian and don't care. My best guess. Who knows.

Aeros build weapons

Is that a totally, honest, unbiased opinion? Asking for an ME!

No, it's like some networks planned for this as if they already knew. They've been camped out there for weeks waiting for the show. It's weird. Feels planned, scripted, etc.

Fox does have imbedded reporters over there also. I've seen footage on the .com. No idea what's going into the programming decisions. Maybe they pulled them out.
