Biden is using the Ukraine invasion to help him Wag the Dog. He's using the Ukraine war to shift the headlines away from his mismanagement at home, and to find a new excuse for the rampant inflation his policies have caused.

Biden & Democrats also intend to build up the Putin bogeyman as their strategy to defeat Trump in the next presidential elections.

They are literally stage-managing foreign policy & international relations with solely their electoral goals in mind.

They crazily think they can milk this war to help themselves get re-elected. These are the depths that this administration has fallen to. Talk about being predatory parasites feeding on tragedy.

Gas prices going up by more than a dollar per gallon in a week and putting the kibosh on delivering Polish planes to the Ukrainians is going to gain Democrats greater popularity and win Biden reelection? What have you been stuffing your pipe with, sanman?

I'm not saying it'll work -- I'm saying that the amateur idiots in Whitehouse are desperate enough that they're stooping to such stunts.

Btw - if you think the people in the Biden admin are so smart - did you see Blinken's nutty response in his latest TV interview?
Interviewer asked Blinken a very important question: Was he okay with Poland giving its own Mig-29 jet fighters to Ukraine to use in combat against Russian forces?
Blinken said, sure it's totally fine, they're giving a green light on that.
The PENTAGON IMMEDIATELY scrambled to put out their own clarification that no such thing would be allowed.

What kind of ****ing dumbass is Blinken to not understand that talk like that could lead to WW3?

Anybody with any real sense knows this mess, and inflation and and gas prices and the southern border are all because of Joe's incompetence. The democrats will not say it but they are sure driving towards a different candidate in 2024.
 
Yeah, how crazy that the media are mostly reporting about a war in Europe and not concentrating on smearing Biden at every opportunity.
It's almost like one of those is way, way more important for some unknown reason.

Plenty of people recognize what a terrible job Biden is doing. He's not a pro-active guy at all. No leadership qualities.

Kirby said that the decision about transferring Polish-owned planes to Ukraine was “ultimately one for the Polish government,”

...

“The prospect of fighter jets ‘at the disposal of the Government of the United States of America’ departing from a U.S./NATO base in Germany to fly into airspace that is contested with Russia over Ukraine raises serious concerns for the entire NATO alliance,” Kirby said.


The contention was over the jet fighters flying out of a US base, not Poland providing the jets to Ukraine.

I think it's crazy for NATO countries to escalate this war by supplying weapons. This could lead to a Russian response against said countries.

Does Poland have the right to drag everyone else into war?

Russia is the world's largest nuclear power, having the largest nuclear arsenal, with over 6,400 nuclear weapons. It is absolutely wrong to play a game of chicken with them.
We don't need to have another Cuban Missile Crisis or worse.

So we should just let Russia roll into Ukraine?

They're already there, they've been there for hundreds of years -- one third of Ukraine's population is Russian.
Russia has been invaded multiple times in history from its western borders. When they say they don't want NATO advancing up to their borders and want some neutral area between them and NATO, then respect that and don't poke the Bear. Who the **** are the Ukrainians to demand the entire world die for them in WW3? Who the **** are they to expect the rest of the planet orbit around them? The rest of us have lives to live.

Look how many situations the US has ignored over the decades. When Tiananmen Square happened, did the US cut ties with China? Hell no. What about America's own invasion of Iraq under false pretenses?
Bush-Cheney knew Saddam didn't have WMD but they lied about it to invade, and then after the truth came out, they then lied further by pretending they never knew they were wrong. It was all just shear corruption. That's why the Neo-Cons like Liz Cheney and shills like Romney always go against Trump, because he dared to call out Bush & Co on their whole boondoggle scam that cost Americans so much blood and treasure.

And we are saying the contentions in your posts are full of shit BORIS.

We all know you want to crown Putin King of the ****in' World and to see Ukrainians be pushovers to his military force. Not gonna happen.

Putin is the one shaking the hornets nest. He better watch his back as the Russian people are not going to put up with his insane blood and soil shit forever.

Who the **** is Russia to tell a sovereign nation what alliances it can and cannot make?

Lol, Trump was for the Iraq War. He is on record with his support.

Are you saying the United States has never made such demands of others? Look at the various regime change operations the USA has done against other govts it felt crossed them.
What about the Bay of Pigs invasion of Cuba? What about the Cuban Missile Crisis? What about Nicaragua?

Ukraine's per capita GDP is 40% of Russia's, and they have piles of corruption. Zelensky & Co want NATO cash & EU cash - and they're willing to rent themselves out to poke the Bear, like a rentier state.
By doing all of these antics and provoking Russia's fears, they've now created a self-fulling prophecy, as the Bear lashes out. I don't like the brutality of Russia's invasion, but they were being backed into a corner.
Don't poke the Bear -- they have thousands of nukes.

Sanman, I'm a ****in' left-anarchist. Where the **** do you think I stand on American neo-imperialism?

And the Neo-Cons had no issue with him until he turned against their record and attacked it. Now they won't stop attacking him. Liz Cheney only attacks Trump due to these reasons, and not for any other reason.

So?

and they have piles of corruption.

And Russia doesn't?

On the democracy index Ukraine is a 5.57 and considered a hybrid regime.

Russia... is a 3.24 and considered authoritarian.

Zelensky & Co want NATO cash & EU cash - and they're willing to rent themselves out to poke the Bear, like a rentier state.

Russia has bullied and invaded Ukraine. They've had a sour relationship with Russia all the way back when Stalin starved millions of them. Russia is like an abusive husband that demands his wife stay with him. It's no wonder most Ukrainians want to side with the West.

Fears of WHAT? Ukraine is not invading Russia. NATO is not invading Russia. These are unfounded fears rooted in paranoia.

You talk as if I give a shit about neocons and Liz Cheney.

One question I have not heard asked is if a member of nato decides on it's own to defend someone outside of nato and gets attacked in the process, should that be viewed as an attack on nato?

This one for all and all for one stuff a great but im not sure it should apply in this circumstance. I think this is a gut check moment for each country to decide if they want to involve themselves in this or not. If they choose yes I don't think nato should automatically be expected to come to their aid.

Many people operating under the impression that Sadam had WMDs supported the war. What's your point?

Yeah, many people were duped, including Trump. Take it up with sanman who is trying to rewrite history.

So, Biden is simultaneously an evil genius who is skillfully manipulating a world crisis in real time to ensure domestic advantage, and an utter idiot too far gone to even give an interview well?
