  1. I wouldn’t take any action.  I don’t believe NATO is truly the threat Putin perceives it to be.  If I were in charge in Russia, I’d realize I’m not the global player the USSR was I would gain far more from remaining neutral globally while quietly courting China’s favor.

  2. Keep importing Russian oil.  Sanctions while a “inconvenience” have proven to be less effective then one would hope.  If oil prices are really an issue Americans can walk when possible, car pool, stop traveling, etc.  Even that may not work if demand is lessened OPEC & Russia can collude as they did during the pandemic and cut supply driving the price back up.

    Not doing as I’m told. I’m doing what the vast majority of medical professionals are suggesting.

    Then  lets go to war.

    The response is a completely  different question.  There are check boxes for me such as genocide, chemical/biological warfare, UN/NATO support, etc.. I don’t feel enough of those have been checked to this point for me to say war is justified.  What Putin is doing is wrong, that fact has not changed.

    I guess that's about as clear as I can be. It's a complicated situation. Sorry it's not good enough for you. Speaking of must be nice how about seeing everything as black and white? Isn't that what some of you guys accuse others of doing? If you think I'm wrong in any facet of my post feel free to let me know where you disagree.

    WSS

    I see this as black and white, what Putin is doing is wrong and history will judge it as such.

    We don’t have the stomachs for to be forced to wear masks and take a vaccine, they should have given people a choice and odds are after time they would have made the choice to on their own.

    BTW COVID HAS GONE QUIET...

    Unfortunately positivity rate is still 7.6 percent in my neck of the woods and that’s an underreported figure. Regardless of reasoning people refused to wear masks and get three shots, bunch of pussies from my perspective.

    As far as believing any narrative to be a contrarian I'm shocked that you don't see that in yourselves. It occurs to me I'm the only guy here that ever steps off the reservation. I have consistently preached stronger relations with Russia. Consistently.

    Speaking of consistency you guys seem to take any world or United States issue and spin it so you can b**** about Donald Trump or prop up Joe Biden. That's ridiculous in my opinion.

    Best opinion I can give you which is better than any of the bulshit you guys have put out oh, is that the Russians want to put a stop to the squealing about Ukraine joining NATO.

    Considering us missiles in kharkiv we would have the same reaction as we would have with Russian missiles in Cuba. Or Detroit.

    So that's one issue. Another issue would be how many ukrainians would prefer to go back to being part of Russia. Those are all Factory in so sorry I can't give you a black and white answer.

    I know Putin is your boogie man and Russia has been strawman since the 1950s. And you guys don't give a rat's ass about Ukraine. And no, The Invasion is never a good look but there are mitigating factors.

    As far as Joe Biden's response? He's a joke. There's probably nothing he can do anyway and the small things that he could he will refuse to do. In fact if you want to cry about oil and gas prices he could back off from the AOC and John Kerry factions of his party. But he won't. And the NATO members will keep buying their oil and gas from Russia anyway. Onlt America seems like a country willing to cut off their nose to spite their faces.

    What more can I tell you that will make my opinion more clear?

    Just as an aside you can probably find the debate between Joe Biden and Mitt Romney where he scolded the senator for saying that the Russians were a big problem. And I don't have any idea how much this comes into play but it seems like the Joe Biden Ukraine corruption rank has been overlooked. That's not surprising because Democrats are in power. I control the media to a large extent.

    Still haven’t taken a side. Must be nice to sit on the fence and then claim your opinion during the autopsy.

    Does that portion of Ukraine have of right to Independence? Or remain Russian? If so it's really none of our business. Furthermore Russia has always wanted and needed that area. I don't suppose Canada wants Detroit back.

    WSS

    You’ll believe any narrative to be a contrarian but you still haven’t answered the questions.  Take a real stance so when this is autopsied we’ll see who is on the right side if history. I believe Putin is a violent dictator that is invading a country for his own benefit and is WRONG.

    Well good. No doubt some meaningless sanctions will do the trick. If that fails you could always scream real loud about Trump. Which is the basis of the original post right?

    Where have I been unclear and what kind of an opinion are you looking for? I think I've been pretty clear. I guess if the Europeans and the other NATO members who buy their gas and oil from Russia can do what they want. Nostalgia can be tricky especially if guys are looking back longingly at the days of the Cuban Missile Crisis.

    WSS

    Do you believe  Russia’s invasion of Ukraine is justified? Do you believe the US should praise Putin for his actions?

    Actually makes sense. These lawsuits/charges are ridiculous as they are going nowhere.  As Leonard SkinHard sang, Watergate does not bother me… so even when there is clear evidence of presidential wrong doing many Americans just don’t care.  Until there is unequivocal evidence these lawsuits are frivolous to me and even if that evidence comes, 30 percent of Americans still won’t care because “team” comes before “we”

    Questions for people from both parties. Have you always supported president who wanted to go to war to 'defend democracy' or "stop communism' in the past and does your Zeal apply to other non-democratic countries around the world?

     Or does it depend on which party? Also is the phrase blood for oil still relevant?

    By the way since they are pretty heavily involved in Ukraine is anybody from the left still Furious about Halliburton?

    WSS

    Don’t care about defending democracy.  Don’t like genocide or the unilateral seizing of territory.

    I think I already mentioned Joe McCarthy so fair enough. I don't know how long we've been chatting over the years but I think most of these guys can you I've always been against the ginned-up cold or hot war with Russia. I have no beef with them and they aren't powerful enough to be much competition. One of the reasons is there stupid form of government which Joe Biden seems compelled bring here. That aside I think we're better off with better relations with them. Much better than to jerk off with this Orwellian kind of fake war while the Chinese eat our lunch.

    WSS

    So just to be clear no opinion. Convenient

    It'll be interesting. If Truth fails then that'll be the end of it. The amount of misinformation that will be passed around in there is concerning, for sure, but with it just being an echo chamber the interest mat fade. Your main demo being retirees with too much time on their hands could go either way

    Red State articles will be shared more 😁

    so, you ready to admit biden etc are a sickening disaster for America?

    and that this would NOT be happening if Pres Trump were president?

    President Trump has vocally supported the action so not sure how this wouldn’t be happening under his tenure.
