Elections are when people find out what politicians stand for, and politicians find out what people will fall for.

What's this obsession with calling it publicly before it happens?
Putin is trying to frame the invasion (to his people) as a response to Ukranian aggression. By publicizing dates, it puts him in the position to proceed and show that it was planned, or back down to see if he can have an opportunity to pull off the narrative. Stalemate.
Putin has lost strategic and operational surprise at this point.
Puts him behind the curve in the info warfare fight.

We declared war on germany and japan by cutting off japans imports, demanding they completely cease all their operations, and give us a public apology and promise to behave. We declared war on germany by arming their enemies, attacking their navy and sinking their subs in neutral waters, among other things. We sent planes and pilots to attack both of their air forces too. Not to mention calling them both enemies and evil in every speech, accurate or not.aggiehawg said:The US did not declare war on Germany. We declared war on Japan after Pearl Harbor. A few days later, Germany declared war on the US.Rock1982 said:
We will be directly involved, with kinetics, before this is over.
All should take note that it was more than 2 years from the Nazi invasion of Poland to the US declaration of war …. The last time aggression of this magnitude happened in Europe.

Did we give them a pretext to declare war? Maybe. But declared war?Quote:
Not saying it wasnt the right thing to do, but we most certainly directly and intentionally provoked the war.
Lol when you give their enemy a merchant fleet, fill it with weapons to be used agsinst them, send your navy out and attack their navy in the middle of the atlantic, and sink their naval vessels and kill their sailors, what do you call it?aggiehawg said:Did we give them a pretext to declare war?

Give me a break.
And by the way, it is now known that our entire state and treasury dept was run by soviet agents, including the guy that wrote the '**** you' letter to japan that triggered pearl. Stalin needed a us japan war even more than he needed a us/german war.cbr said:Lol when you give their enemy a merchant fleet, fill it with weapons to be used agsinst them, send your navy out and attack their navy in the middle of the atlantic, and sink their naval vessels and kill their sailors, what do you call it?aggiehawg said:Did we give them a pretext to declare war?

Hitler was an evil delusional *******, but he was already at war with the us and knew it.
