Biden, Trudeau, Macron or any other boogie man you want to throw out there who is NOT Putin had nothing to do with the start of this.

But I love how you keep posting stuff as if you are oh so concerned...

Bullshit, you don't GAF about what's going on or even the larger picture.
They most certainly played a role in creating the conditions and opportunity for Putin to make his move.

If you aren't following with a big picture view please don't comment.

Interesting take on the Ukraine history and present issue.

One thing I've heard too is that Putin said he wanted Ukrainians to have the chance to elect who they wanted as leader.

Funny; they already have that without the Russians.

I think that one was screwed up in translation. What Putin really said is he wanted Ukrainians to have the chance to vote for who HE wanted.

Putin wants Ukraine free to elect any leader he approves of

It's a sliver of the history and a couple huge factors missed.

Uh huh.

So you're all for Putin taking on Ukraine?
I have told you many times my ancestry is Ukrainian Great Grand parents on both sides served in the Ukrainian army until they lost to the Red army and GTFO to Canada before they joined many of their comrades rounded up and killed or sent to the Gulags.

Wait. . . they're in TEXAS?

Damn, that was quick.

How the hell do ya do an amphibious assault in the Permian Basin?
I don't think Odessa Texas looks anything like it's namesake in Ukraine
