Excuses for posting this. I've tried to keep quiet but hearing Vladimir Putin talk like yet another Hitler, Stalin or whatever terrorist I gave to speak our. By now it should be clear to most people that Putin is like a terrorist who blames all others on 'what he is forced to do'. It should stop, now! "Kremlin says the West is behaving like a bandit The Kremlin said on Saturday that the West was behaving like a bandit by cutting economic relations over the conflict in Ukraine but that Russia was far too big to be isolated as the world was much larger than just the United States and Europe. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters that the West was engaged in "economic banditry" against Russia and that Moscow would respond. He did not specify what response there would be but said it would be in line with Russian interests." www.yahoo.com/news/kremlin-says-west-behaving-bandits-102119944.html"Putin says Ukraine's future in doubt as cease-fires collapse Russian President Vladimir Putin warned Saturday that Ukrainian statehood is in jeopardy and likened the West's sanctions on Russia to “declaring war,” while a promised cease-fire in the besieged port city of Mariupol collapsed amid scenes of terror. With the Kremlin’s rhetoric growing fiercer and a reprieve from fighting dissolving, Russian troops continued to shell encircled cities and the number of Ukrainians forced from their country grew to 1.4 million. By nighttime Russian forces had intensified their shelling of Mariupol, while dropping powerful bombs on residential areas of Chernihiv, a city north of Kyiv, Ukrainian officials said." news.yahoo.com/reports-russia-observe-ceasefire-2-070133818.htmlthumbs.dreamstime.com/b/heart-ukraine-flag-white-background-vector-illustration-blue-yellow-ukraine-heart-ukraine-flag-heart-ukraine-flag-blue-242636948.jpg |

The only way not to provoke Putin is by doing nothing. BTW the Former American guy, that stable genius who tells us he was the only one who could have stopped Putin (if only he had won the elections). Well I guess he still admires Putin and of course North Korean Kim Jong Un. "Trump told GOP donors that North Korea's Kim Jong Un had ability to make his advisers 'cower,' jokingly saying he also wants his staff to 'act like that'" www.yahoo.com/news/trump-told-gop-donors-north-134546734.html |

He's still American, and hasn't, to the best of my knowledge, had a sex change operation. And surely not "if only he had won the elections" - he did win, but it was stolen from him. |

Maybe that should have been "the American former guy". BTW our stable genius has come with a new plan, put the Chinse flag on F-22 planes and bomb the shit out of Russia. Since he was talking to GOP Donors he was joking of course. "And then we say, China did it, we didn't do, China did it, and then they start fighting with each other and we sit back and watch." |

Go in or go home.
The West and its sanctions bs is a waste of time.
Send the Ukranian Air Force a few hundred planes today and let them do their best...or just forget about it.

Maybe dust off the "Lend-Lease Act" and modernize it to fit current understanding of International Laws. BTW just planes might not be enough, pilots, fuel and 'cargo' might need to be included. Also military planes require strict maintenance to keep them flying reliably. Of course, we still want to avoid M.A.D. or a Pyrrhic Victory. See The War Game 1966 or Threads 1984. Both in Britain but it would be like that all over America, Europe and Russia as well, probably China and Pakis-tan/India. Maybe Africa will be spared, at least the initial fallout. Not saying we should give Putin what he wants because he'd only want more and more I fear. |

No point in being a nuclear power if you are not prepared to face up to the responsibility of firing them if necessary. Appeasement is a poor game to play...the West must either back Ukraine properly or just <duck> off. |

Of course we all know we can trust Vladimir Putin. After all Donald Trump likes him. Anyway 'give me what I want and we'll be friends again (for now)'. "Russia will stop 'in a moment' if Ukraine meets terms - Kremlin Russia has told Ukraine it is ready to halt military operations "in a moment" if Kyiv meets a list of conditions, the Kremlin spokesman said on Monday. Dmitry Peskov said Moscow was demanding that Ukraine cease military action, change its constitution to enshrine neutrality, acknowledge Crimea as Russian territory, and recognise the separatist republics of Donetsk and Lugansk as independent states. It was the most explicit Russian statement so far of the terms it wants to impose on Ukraine to halt what it calls its "special military operation", now in its 12th day." www.yahoo.com/news/kremlin-says-russian-military-action-115703035.html |

Since a few weeks I see many posts on Facebook pushing the Palestinian cause comparing with Ukraine and the Scramble for Africa with all that committed in atrocities. Still trying to figure out if this distraction is related to some pro-Putin propaganda and disinformation.

But if you are up for it, have at it, got to love all these armchair quarterbacks, get your ass off the sun lounger and get to the front lines, thought not. Heres something for you to do as you order another mai thai poolside, do a google search for the comedians net worth. |

"The Budapest Memorandum on Security Assurances comprises three identical political agreements signed at the OSCE conference in Budapest, Hungary on 5 December 1994 to provide security assurances by its signatories relating to the accession of Belarus, Kazakhstan and Ukraine to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT). The memorandum was originally signed by three nuclear powers: the Russian Federation, the United Kingdom and the United States. China and France gave somewhat weaker individual assurances in separate documents.[1] The memorandum prohibited the Russian Federation, the United Kingdom and the United States from threatening or using military force or economic coercion against Ukraine, Belarus, and Kazakhstan. As a result of other agreements and the memorandum, between 1993 and 1996, Belarus, Kazakhstan and Ukraine gave up their nuclear weapons.[2]" en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Budapest_Memorandum_on_Security_Assurances |
