The media set up this scenario because it’s a win-win for Biden to boost his terrible poll numbers, and democrats in general. If Russia does invade they look right in predicting it and can say “we told you so!”. If they don’t they can say “it was because of our strong leadership!”.

Just wait, that talking point will be echoed across the liberal media.

In fairness, no such countries existed at that point

No they don’t. They want to fabricate the possibility of war so when it doesn’t happen they can all praise Biden’s diplomacy skills.

If only he could have thought of using those diplomacy skills when dealing with Afghanistan.

Maybe the U.S. has been the bad actor for everything after WW2. We at least aren’t what I used to think we were.

Putin getting in a parting shot or were the withdrawal report a head fake before the attack. We'll find out in a few hours.

Reports from a couple hours ago of a foiled terror attack in Luhansk, which as we all know is a Putin specialty

Well then I’m glad Reagan isn’t in office.

You sign up first to go fight for Ukraine. You could probably go now and join their military if you tried hard enough.

There are actions short of actively getting involved in a shooting war we can take to make it costly for Putin to carry this out. I expect we will implement them if he goes through with it.

It's one thing to believe Ukraine isn't worth American lives. It's another to subtly or not so subtly root for Putin, which I have occasionally seen on TD and seen pretty often elsewhere Reagan must be spinning in his grave.

Reagan might be spinning in his grave. But America is the world's leading exporter of really bad, really destructive ideas. So I'm not sure he'd have the same confidence in the country he led (and rightfully so).

Putin must have got the intel that we've moved some Aegis Class Cruisers to the Black sea and parked a handful of Ohio Class boomers in the Adriatic....

It's just a DDoS attack on some websites. Not what I'd consider a true cyber attack. Nothing to see here. Yet.

Do you have any idea how few people in the US have any idea what is going right now or let alone know where or what Ukraine is.



My wife mentioned it Sunday night and she's completely removed from National news or politics. Pretty sure most people have heard something is going on.

Biden is too busy shitting his pants and wondering where is to face off anything.


Does his Dick taste more like depends or little girl?
