    And the REASON WHY Trump threatened to pull out of NATO?? You conveniently LEFT OUT that part.

    In a closed-doors meeting at the two-day NATO summit in Brussels, Trump is said to have thrown a “tantrum” over the issue, threatening that the U.S. would go it alone on defense issues if the other NATO members—most of whom are European—do not immediately increase military spending as a percentage of gross domestic product. 

    ---He wanted them TO INCREASE military spending.

    ----He told Germany what a stupid idea to buy Russian energy.

    ---He tried his best to STOP Norstream 2.

    "Zelensky then argued that Germany was more concerned about its own economy than the security of Ukraine prior to the Russian invasion."

    According to this tweet from U.S. Embassy at Kyiv, Ukraine, horrible atrocity has been committed by the Russian forces. It has to be condemned by the Western world.

    Makes us wonder why people in the USA were cheerleading Putin's invasion.

    the left is so confused as to why, that's the ironic part of this whole situation. You're all spun around and so damn confused you do what MSM tells you to, and it's all wrong. You all have no clue why Putin is going into Ukraine other then "Putin bad". Biden and the dems in office actually love this situation. You want more electric cars? You want more "green energy"? This is what you want, this is how you're going to get it.

    Sounds like President Biden had an interesting chat with President XI who of course answered the phone when he received the call.

    World Central Kitchen (WCK) has been serving free hot meals to the Ukrainian refugees in Poland, Romania, Moldova, Ukraine and other locations.

    There is a way to help Ukrainian refugees,

    https://donate.wck.org/give/393234#!/donation/checkout?c_src=ukraine-email-2

    No minimum amount to donate, $5 will work fine. I just dropped $20 to the WCK.

    Zelensky concedes Ukraine will not join Nato

    ‘It’s a truth and it must be recognised,’ says Ukrainian leader

    If he would have done that to begin with none of this would have happened. an_light

    Since there is no chance of Ukraine joining NATO, that isn't the real reason for Russian invasion according to University of Toronto.  Putin didn't invade to stop nazism, genocide, bio labs or military threat.  The real reason is that Putin wants to dominate Ukraine and turn it into a satellite state under his control.  He rejects Ukraine right to exist as an independent country.  He wants to replace Ukraine government and destroy its military.  He doesn't want to be surrounded by strong democracies as neighbors who choose to align with western countries.  However US and much of Europe believe Ukraine should be able to choose its future.

    I never forgot that "non-negotiable", it stuck in my head. The very reason Ukraine is where it's at today. And I don't give a rat's ass what some university says, pure speculation.

    Same can be said for my opinion. Would Putin have invaded Ukraine if if told Russia it would remain neutral? Maybe yes, maybe no. I say no. A straw that broke the camels back.

    Again, the invasion is wrong on soo many levels, yet I saw it coming because no one would budge. They were calling Putin's bluff, making it 95% probable that he would invade. So now he needs to save face, gonna get worse unless Zelensky can get a deal made. Even after a deal if it happens, then what? 

    Everybody thinking Putin on the way out. Then who is in charge? Nevermind, mob mentality never thinks past the moment. So stupid!

     It would be ridiculous for a country to say "never" to anything.,

    Replacing Putin reminds of the proverb "the devil you know....."

    Can only hope this ends sooner than later.

    Spot on, Thirdperson. Vladimir Putin regards himself as some sort of Peter the Great or a Czar, he does not think Ukraine has the right to be an independent nation. The old Russian Empire should restore under his command, or else face cruel invasion by his military forces. Dude is illusional and maniac, Ukraine deserves to be a sovereign country and it is sternly supported by vast majority of countries.

    141 countries in the United Nations have voted to condemn Russia for invading Ukraine.

    Why did Putin mention NATO 40 times in his pre invasion speech? 

    US and Europe believe Ukraine should choose their future … but only if the US is pulling the strings on their “choices”. 

    Why did the US back a coup in 2013/14? 

    Why didn’t they stay out of their business and “let Ukraine choose their future”?

    Russia, China, India and Pakistan are aligning. 

    Assad just met with UAE. The Middle East is turning on Biden. 

    An all out war would be 50/50 and countless lives lost on both sides. This is why nobody can issue ‘No Fly Zones’ … and this is why the politicians advocating for a no fly zone are imbeciles.

    Interesting when they’re going over Color Revolutions and Black Lives Matter had all of the tell tale signs … even down to the fist emblem. 

    The CIA, FBI, and Democrats tried to engineer a color revolution on a sitting President. an_speechless

     

    John Brennan engineered the Color Revolution in Ukraine in 2013/14. That’s a fact. Nuland and Pryatt were hand picking Ukraines government and the call was leaked. an_speechless

    I know this is your standard response when you can’t debate something but Oliver Stone has left wing political views and voted for Obama twice. ‘Ukraine on Fire’ was released in 2017. Please educate yourself.

    The Russian internet group IRA that interfered with elections did this according to Goggle;

    GOGGLE put out a statement saying that none of the IRA-linked YouTube accounts was “targeted to the US or to any particular sector of the US population.”  

    Yet the researchers found that, in fact, of the 1,100 total YouTube videos they discovered, 1,063 focused on police brutality and Black Lives Matter, 571 of which had keywords related to police and police brutality.

    The Russians were helping the Democratic party it appears or they wanted the same thing; America f'd up. Goggle lied about it.

    The focus on police brutality and content targeting African Americans wasn’t limited to YouTube. Among more than a dozen web domains the IRA registered, the vast majority, including DoNotShoot.us and Blacktivist.info, were aimed at black communities. Of the 33 most popular Facebook pages linked to the IRA, nearly half focused on black audiences. This effort was particularly successful on Instagram, where the account @blackstagram_ amassed more than 300,000 followers and elicited more than 28 million reactions. Much of this content seemed designed to stoke distrust among African Americans
