Russians have apparently captured Chornobyl. If they start losing will they threaten to blow up the containment structure and contaminate the entire continent? Please, someone in Russia must stop Putler!

There is some discussion (at least on forums!) that this might trigger article 5 NATO since it is a threat to all Europe.

Was wanting to come up with a song for the current occasion. This came to mind, FWIW...

This is not the time for that agenda. Come on.

So, saying "boys" is not an agenda but pointing out they are not all "boys" is? Come on.

BTW, the president of Ukraine is Jewish.

Maybe another reason the Republican Party backs Putin.

How's that lunch you're out to?

 

[ABM]

Biden: We'll help defend our NATO allies at all costs. Ukraine, you're on your own.

 

[ABM]

Biden: Putin is a big, bad meanie and I'm really, really mad!

Ukraine is not a NATO member, they have applied but not a member. Plus Biden stated the US would not send troops to Ukraine, before this escalation.

I understand. Putin's getting a good laugh.

So you're on putin's side?

Not at all! What I've implied is that Biden is huffing and puffing as if he's the big, bad wolf. Sadly, he's not.

 

[RR7]

At least he's not heaping praise on Putin.

Could be worse, we could have the guy praising Putin in office, offering him support.

Touche'.

Please tell us what you’d like him to do to appear tougher. Bombs? Ground troops? Just curious. Sanction the shit out of him? Check

That's not what was asked... That tweet is a blatant lie...

Somehow I feel the only acceptable response for you would be for Biden to outlaw abortion and restrict transgender rights. Maybe enact a complete theocracy also.

I do understand the complexity. Basically saying, though, "We're laying down sanctions and will check back in a month or so to see how those are working" appears very soft/ineffective. However, NATO will convene tomorrow, so let's see how everyone lines up.

OK, well answer the question, tough guy. If not sanctions in this situation, what? What would you have him, or Trump if he was in office, do?

He only appears soft to people who want him to be soft

Maybe the answer is, there is nothing we can really do because it's not a strategic issue for us and not in our sphere of influence. See, generally, the Monroe Doctrine.

How is me being supportive of Ukraine in the moment having any kind of agenda at all? I didn’t even think about how it would annoy you per the usual. Take your gender politics somewhere else.

Or not. Looks like @donkiez has some likes on that post.
