Ukraine..What's the Next Step?

well said   . 

Is this the same Biden that you "admire" who layed out the red carpet for Putin to invade.. 

Seriously,  it's lost on so many of you that this War never had to happen,  but weak leadership has its consequences.  

Praising Putin, Trump would not have stopped Russia's invasion of Ukraine.  For over a decade, Putin has been obsessed with restoring the old Soviet union.  For years, Ukraine has been fighting Russia.   Russia conquered Crimea and now the rest of Ukraine is next after years of preparations for larger invasion.  Trump's foreign policies have proven to be destructive in weakening NATO, Ukraine and US global standing to embolden Putin to invade Ukraine.

accurate     president biden has fortunately reversed chumps destructive actions

Those YEARS OF PREPERATIONS (translation; the excuse why Putin NEVER moved while Trump was in office) didn't go so well for Russia. One would think YEARS OF PREPERATIONS would have yeilded a better plan. Guess Putin was putting in YEARS OF PREPERATIONS during the Bush admin to invade Crimea during Obama's second term?

Hmmm, Trump was the one who gave Ukraine javelin missles. Trump was the one who bombed a Syrian air base that was occupied by Russians. 

The Independent 2019; Video footage has emerged apparently showing an abandoned US military base in northern Syria that has been taken over by Russian troops, following Donald Trump’s order to withdraw. 

Trump was the one who ordered the Iranian general killed and they didn't kill a father and his children gathering water by mistake or a sheep herder like the Biden admin. 

Trump says Putin is savvy and a genius and the Left screams he is bed with Putin. Trump says Xi is smart and now Trump is in bed with China. Trump de-escalates a crazy North Korean leader and the Left screams he likes dictators. This cry wolf syndrome has outlived itself. 

Funny how the aggression of both Russia and China took off like a Canadian wildfire right after Joe takes office. 

 Good stuff.

"You will find that many of the truths we cling to depend greatly on our own point of view" — Obi-Wan Kenobi, Return of the Jedi

 the former deputy chief of Ukraine’s general staff of armed forces told Al Jazeera, adding that it was time to strike Russian forces in the back.

Such a plan looked like a “fairy tale” just a day ago, but the panic and disarray in Russia as troops of the Wagner private military contractor march on Moscow may provide Kyiv with a perfect opportunity to deliver the least expected blow, he said.

Ukraine’s Western backers will, however, inevitably step in to dissuade Kyiv from such decisions to avoid Moscow’s use of nuclear weapons, Romanenko added.

“Of course, our allies will meddle, will try to influence it somehow, in the ‘let’s-not-let-something-bad-happen’ way, to avoid escalation, the use of the weapons of mass destruction,” he said.

Correct on the latter point in BOLD.  Highly unlikely on the former if you had paid any attention to what Russia "wasn't" doing at the time.  Add China in the discussion,  too.

They weren't buzzing our reconnaissance aircraft like Chinese fighters are doing today , nor cutting off our naval vessels in international waters.  Biden is WEAK.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has visited Ukrainian forces fighting on the front line that runs through the eastern Donetsk region and the south of the country, decorating troops on a day in which he said his forces had “advanced in all directions”.

In an upbeat message to his nation after visiting the front lines, Zelenskyy said: “This is a happy day. I wished the guys more days like this.”

“It was a busy day, a lot of emotions… I was honoured to award our warriors, to thank them personally, to shake their hands,” Zelenskyy said in his nightly video address, which was released in the early hours of Tuesday

Eighty-one percent of Democrats, 56% of Republicans and 57% of independents favor supplying U.S. weapons to Ukraine, according to the latest poll.

In other findings, the survey said large majorities of Americans - 67% and 73% - are more likely to support a candidate in next year's U.S. presidential election who will continue military aid to Ukraine and one who backs the NATO alliance.*

Majority of Americans have supported Ukraine and NATO, this Reuters/Ipsos poll appears to indicate the trend of the 2024 U.S. presidential campaign.

"The Republican leadership of the House and Senate will also take heart from this,"-- William Taylor, former U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine

Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenskyy says the path to victory is “difficult” and there is no timeframe on when Ukraine will reach its goal.

On Twitter, Zelenskyy wrote, “We have to realise that the path to our victory is difficult. And now, no one can say when we will complete it. But when the goal is clear and fair, it does not matter how thorny the path to this goal is. Ukraine will walk this path to victory! And this is no longer a dream – it is a reality.

definitely making progress even if it is slow but sure

Good to see former VP Mike Pence visits Ukraine and met with President Zelensky. 

"...that for my part I will continue to do everything in our power to make sure we provide Ukrainian military with the support they need until they repel the Russian invasion and restore sovereignty of this county...."--Mike Pence

I may have disagreed with many of Pence' conservative agenda, but here I give him thumbs up on vigorously supporting Ukraine. 

Kill more Russians exterminate the aggressors in Ukraine 

Ukraine has continued its counter-offensive operations and says its forces are making gains.

The Ukrainian General Staff stated that its forces had seized the "strategic initiative" around what is left of the eastern city of Bakhmut - most of which has been under Russian control after the longest and possibly bloodiest battle in the w

Remember,  if Biden had this same determination in backing Ukraine " before" war even started,  we likely aren't in this position.   But, no.  Democrats are weak, and Putin exploits it w both O'bama and Biden. 

Biden has blood on his  hands...... lots of it 

William Burns, U.S. Central Intelligence Agency Director, has said the armed mutiny of Yevgeny Prigozhin's Wagner mercenary has showed the "corrosive effect" of Vladimir Putin.

Drone attack huts Russian Airport in Moscow. 

Ukraine has launched a drone attack on Moscow, the Russian defence ministry says, forcing flights to be diverted from Vnukovo International Airport.

Five drones were reportedly used in Tuesday's attack, which also targeted locations in the wider region around the capital.

The defence ministry said all the drones were shot down and there were no casualties or damage.

Ukraine has not claimed responsibility for the alleged attack.

Restrictions at Vnukovo airport, one of Moscow's three international airports, have now been lifted. Flights from Turkey, the United Arab Emirates and Egypt were among those affected.
