“Akin?” Like cousins once removed? The rest of his remarks among a bevy of Aeroflot trainees are as strange. After his meetings with cabinet members and generals, this has a Trumpy look to it.

Interesting. I always thought Trump had "Putin-esque" aura about him!

Just voicing an opinion. I would say that sanctions are a passive aggressive participation in the war. That being said, it is not the same as supplying support for a no fly zone. It is also not the same as supplying arms, which I consider much more participatory than sanctions.

So he's going to cry like a baby now?

Someone should tell him so is invading another country

Apparently Putin didn't get the memo that in NATO, America alone invests more on its military in a month than Russia in a year!

Well I can think of something else that's far more akin to a declaration of war, despite Putin not wanting to call a war but "special operations".

UN and NATO are not the same.

But they are in many cases one and the same. Take that up with Biden’s team

Name us some countries in the UN who are also part of NATO?

 

[tacomancer]

They are literally in no cases the same.

 

[Rexedgar]

That‘s called “weaseling.”

 

[Mongidig]

If he thinks sanctions are war then lets go. It”s time for a targeted airstrikr to take Putin out. In the meantime lets get the no fly zone going. It’s going to happen eventually. Lets not wait for things to get more ugly.

Nope.
Just admit you have no source to back up what you are trying to put on the Biden Administration.

I see no NATO there. UN is not a military alliance. Heck, Russia is a member of the UN.

She said it was tantamount to attacking all members which Ukraine is included. Many members are NATO countries as well so is it not akin to attacking NATO?
