Could you share?Okay, wait - I've found some streams showing some stuff -- looks like it might be anti-aircraft fire.
The Russian's are attacking and Putin is on Russian tv telling the Russian people it is the fault of NATO. No surprise there, but how will the rest of the world react, especially China. THe US is calling for meeting of the G7, of which China is one and we will see if China will support Russia in their land grab.
Rooting for a new cold war? Are you upset we won the last one? That's how the world will reconfigure itself. If Xi takes Taiwan, he knows the West will divest itself of China. It will result in a new cold war, with opposing forces vying for strategic land conquests/alliances, totally interdependent economically.China should invade Taiwan. They know how the west will respond.
How should the west respond?China should invade Taiwan. They know how the west will respond.
How should the west respond?
Let's hope we have a strong NATO after Trump did what he could to destroy it. The Russians gained decades of advantage with trump in office, and now Biden must deal with it.....The Russian's are attacking and Putin is on Russian tv telling the Russian people it is the fault of NATO.

Maybe we can call them Russialicans.I assume the forum Russia-crats will take their usual powder for the night....SNOWFLAKES
Putin's only strength is the military. Three US states have larger GDP's than Russia. China's economic power rivals ours.With sanctions apparently. What else is there?
Maybe Russia-cons if Russia-crats is offensive.Maybe we can call them Russilicans.
If Ukraine is willing to fight beyond what will be early victories for Russia, they will bleed Russia dry. Putin has really lost his mind.Putin's only strength is the military. Three US states have larger GDP's than Russia. China's economic power rivals ours.
Yes, both Xi and Putin know nukes are out of the question, and the West has no stomach for ground troops right now. We're at the same place we were after Vietnam. No one wants war. So, sanctions are basically it. The difference here is in what each country has to lose. Putin risks little compared to what Xi would risk.
I don't really see much more either. Help fund an insurgency in Ukraine, maybe?With sanctions apparently. What else is there?
Another Afghanistan which led to the breakup of the USSR...If Ukraine is willing to fight beyond what will be early victories for Russia, they will bleed Russia dry. Putin has really lost his mind.
Between the uniting of Trumpist party leaders and Putin and with China's approval, it'll definitely be a bad year for democracy. And this could be just the beginning of Putin's attempt to reassemble the USSR...Now that this invasion has started,
I think the Republicans will be drawing a clear line here in America between those against Putin, and pushing a strong and united condemnation, and those praising Putin, and threatening our southern neighbors with like strategy.
It's going to get pretty clear from here out just what kind of conservative you are. One that admires the power of our enemies, or one who thinks America is strong, united, and prepared to protect it's allies and NATO partners and those countries trying to maintain their freedom.
It will be an interesting year here, that's for sure.
You can see my thread on that, which starts a couple creative ideas and mentions a need for the west to look for Putin's weaknesses to exploit.How should the west respond?
