Oh please. Ukraine posed no threat to Russia whatsoever and just quit making excuses for the pathetic Russian despot. He's a mass murdering tyrant who doesn't care about Russians let alone anyone else. Get a grip.
Ukraine Crisis
- Thread starter annabenedetti
- Start date
Did NATO do the right thing by expanding eastward in violation of their agreement with Russia?
ok doser

Kennedy recognized the threat that Cuba posed in 1962. Cuba, less than 1/5 the size of Ukraine.

Russia’s belief in Nato ‘betrayal’ – and why it matters today
The idea that the Soviet Union was tricked in 1989-90 is at the heart of Russia’s confrontation with the west

Doesn't excuse the pathetic little despot Putin and what he's done in the slightest with Ukraine. No excuse for him or those who make excuses for him either.
Why doesn't The Guardian have the courage (like The Gateway Pundit does) to have a comments section?You mean this?

Go and ask them. I'm sure TGP has all sorts of "insightful comments". None of this addressed my post either btw. What possible excuse can be made for the despicable despot and his regime who have not only murdered countless people in Ukraine but also their "own people"?
I'll get to it. Right now I'm having too much fun posting memes.

Well, both you and I are having more fun than the Ukrainian women who moved to my home town and elsewhere because Putin decided to invade their country. So that's something eh?
BREAKING: Biden calls up US military reserve units to deploy to active duty in Europe in 'Operation Atlantic Resolve'
Operation Atlantic Resolve is the official name of the unofficial operation supporting the war in Ukraine.
A presidential action posted by the White House on Thursday revealed that the President, under his authority as Commander-in-chief, is calling up US military units to deploy to active duty in Europe under what is being called Operation Atlantic Resolve.
Operation Atlantic Resolve is the official name of the unofficial operation supporting the war in Ukraine, and is in response to Russia's invasion of the Donbass region. Operation Atlantic Resolve has been funded under the European Deterrence Initiative, and is intended, thus far, to strengthen NATO. The US has military in Eastern Europe, but has not called on Americans to fight to defend Ukraine.
"I hereby determine that it is necessary to augment the active Armed Forces of the United States for the effective conduct of Operation Atlantic Resolve in and around the United States European Command’s area of responsibility," President Joe Biden said.
As such, he authorized the ordering of any active duty units of the Coast Guard to serve as a unit of the Selected Reserve. The Selected Reserve is the "the most readily available group of Army Reserve Soldiers," according to the US Military.
All members of the Selected Reserve can be mobilized in the event that an emergency arises and they are called upon to do so.
"In furtherance of this operation," Biden said, "under the stated authority, I hereby authorize the Secretary of Defense, and the Secretary of Homeland Security with respect to the Coast Guard when it is not operating as a service in the Navy, under their respective jurisdictions, to order to active duty any units, and any individual members not assigned to a unit organized to serve as a unit of the Selected Reserve, or any member in the Individual Ready Reserve mobilization category and designated as essential under regulations prescribed by the Secretary concerned, not to exceed 3,000 total members at any one time, of whom not more than 450 may be members of the Individual Ready Reserve, as they deem necessary, and to terminate the service of those units and members ordered to active duty."
President Biden is readying military forces to deploy to Europe. He made a promise to the American people in March 2022 that US troops would not be sent to fight in Ukraine on behalf of that nation's borders or in service to waging war against Russia.

What were your first thoughts when the news came out that the tyrannical despot Putin had sent forces to invade Ukraine? If you don't mind sharing them of course.
You're not very good at this whole thinking thing, are you?

Laughably ironic but still, do tell how Ukraine were posing a threat to Russia. I'm sure the Ukrainian women that I've gotten to know in my home town would be more than interested after they had to move after Putin's "special military operation".
Oh please. I can just see Russia making concessions to dissolve the Warsaw pact, end the cold war and Germany reunified, and then saying to NATO: "Here's what we want in return. NATO is free to expand as far eastward as your little hearts desire. Have yourselves a field day!" Get a grip.You mean this?

I've read the thread from the outset and any excuses or apologies made for Putin's despicable invasion of Ukraine are as deplorable as they are pathetic. The only ones who are doing that are oh so predictably - pontificating far right ignoramuses.

Already have one thanks. Don't really expect you to anytime soon and where it comes to "going on"?
Another irony meter has - actually recognized the score and disconnected itself!
