A nuclear power has attacked a sovereign nation with zero provocation of any kind…

How is this the 21st Century?

This is beyond wrong, and frankly, Vladimir Putin needs to be taken into custody and tried for crimes against humanity…


Iraq in '03…

No…Saddam did continue to kick out inspectors in violation of international law and agreements…

Iraq may not have gone the way expected (though I guarantee you the WMDs were there and moved), but Saddam did provoke the world to act…

Ukraine hasn't done anything…literally nothing…

The one, AND ONLY ONE, thing I can question about this whole thing that Putin may have not been lying about, is his overall goals about this attack.

To my knowledge there has been no large forces detected for a follow on wave. If that is true, this invasion is kind of puzzling on the outset. 150K+ troops is not enough to hold a country really. We tried exactly that in Iraq and even though we had a spicy reception there, it would be nothing like a unified Ukrainian resistance. It's enough for a smash and awe but occupancy is another story. Could he really be in enough of a bubble to truly believe that this is just another military operation like so many other of Russia's adventures in the near past?

Anyone have data on near future Russian deployments?

And yet he won't make a statement until noon 2/24/22.
Is Vindman listening to this call? I hope so. I'd love to hear what Slow Joe is asking him about the "perfect call" for which Trump was impeached for...for asking about his corrupt crack-smoking son's involvement in a Burisma.

Any likelihood at this point of a "whistle blower" coming forth to contest the conversation?

Honestly they should be announcing the next traunch of sanctions, SWIFT action, diplomats being PNG'd and closing down on other actions.

FBI counterintelligence needs to wake the **** up and start doing work. Actual real work and earn their keep. These next round of sanctions better be ****ing crippling.
Maybe they can take a break from hunting down tourists and then get on it. I have little faith in the FBI as an institution anymore.

Putin doesn't recognize zelensky as a head of state. Executing him would mean nothing to Putin.

Ukraine flirting with NATO is what the stated reason appears to be. Take that however you'd like but that's the story.

What's scary to me are 2 options. Either Putin is more of a madman than Kim Jung Un and the Ayatollahs(since he's acting directly without provocation and without proxies, or Putin knows 100% that we will fully turn our back and leave Ukraine for the birds. With our corrupt and spineless leadership guess which way I'm leaning...

Give them, DHS, and NSA a mission: find spies and arrest them. I'm sure they have a workable list.

Agreed. He knows Biden is not at the helm and he may not get this chance again if someone like Trump gets elected.

Go look at Putin's comments 20 years ago on Ukraine and NATO. I'm not sure if this is really about NATO encroachment or something else, but literally everything he has said recently is bull.

No one has any idea, but it wouldn't take much to move more troops in once they control the area. It would be like us moving troops into Canada. They could drive themselves or take the train if they wanted.

I'm going with "yes".

Or "Da", in this case.

No. He'll just "disappear".
Or those pesky separatists will assassinate him. But no blood on Putin's hand....right?

Yes we know people are dying.

Putin doesn't care. If he did he wouldn't be doing this.

You can keep preaching about him being a tyrant. Laws. Blah blah blah. Putin doesn't care. Tyrants don't play by the same rule book as we do.
