An interesting discussion on Facebook.
Emily Ann says:
There are so many (SO MANY!!) things that could be handled better diplomatically.
As for Ukraine—I understand that Russia wants to reestablish its old empire and is sour about the countries Independence, but I also understand the countries that broke away from what may be considered an abusive spousal relationship with Russia and want to join the confines of the west and want protection from NATO, such as in this case. I’d be willing to bet that when Putin challenged NATO about allowing Ukraine in, had NATO immediately said "Ukraine, you have a provisional seat at the table†Russia would have backed down.
I think it’s funny that Zelensky has buydone by the short and curleys because of his and his crackhead’s dirty dealings in Ukraine. He doesn’t want any of it to come out because he could face serious repercussions as "the big guyâ€.
I have a friend from Nicaragua who came here legally, became a citizen, and served in the Army here. Her family is still I there and there’s been talk that Russia is going to come to Nicaragua to "help†them. It’ll be really interesting that Russia will be on our back doorstep and have the ability to attack us on two fronts as we’ve sent tons of weapons to Ukraine, gave the terrorist taliban $50M+ in war necessities, are no longer energy independent begging Saudi and OPEC to increase oil production, etc. I forecast there to be gas rationing like in the 70’s again here. Russia may not be able to sell their oil to anyone except China, but that allows them to have more for their invading forces who won’t be dependent on foreign oil if they can get it to their equipment
I reply:
I agree; a fine analysis of the situation Emily Ann.
I would add about Ukraine that the U.S. agreed to defend them as part of the Budapest Memorandum, a part of the Start treaty, in 1994, if they disposed of their share of the Soviet nuclear stockpile, which they did, so it puts us in the position of defending them or breaking our word (which is rather what we have done here, I fear.)
But then too Putin insists (and the word of a guy like Putin is not worth a whole lot) that the U.S. promised Russia at the time that NATO would not be expanded into Ukraine or any former Soviet satellite state. https://www.cnn.com/europe/live-news/ukraine-russia-news-01-27-22/h_190327bbaa80435566e3164ef6dc4ed1
Again, we are to take their word for it, the word of known liars. But it is possible they see it hat way. No doubt the Russian People do.
Putin has openly stated he wants to resurrect the old Tsarist empire sans Tsar. That necessitates annexation of Ukraine and Byelorus.
I agree; Biden and the rest of the Ruling Class are up to their eyeballs in Ukraine and want to cover it. I have little doubt the shredders were going as the bombs fell.
So, the Russians want to move in Nicaragua and "help" the Sandanistas? I'm not surprised Ortega and company have been busily turning it back into a communist state, suppressing dissent and imprisoning political opposition. But they are pikers; they need the experts. And Putin knows that if we are in the Ukraine he needs to be in Central America. He's a chess player.
These people are completely undoing our victory in the Cold War!
Yes, they'll be rationing gas by late summer I suspect. And this from what is had become the largest oil producer on the planet! It's disgraceful what Mr. Biden and the other heroes of the Revolution have done to us!
It is the high price of gas and oil that is funding this war, I might add; Putin is flush with windfall profits now. The way to stop Putin is to defund him by seriously reopening the American oil and gas industry and getting prices down. But he cannot do that because he is beholden to the enviromentalist lobby, to the "green energy" investers, to the international agreements like the Paris Accord (which he intends to impose regardless of the Senate of the will of the American People.)
Yeah; the Chinese can ship Russian oil for them, And everyone is still buying Russian oil through third parties. Their profits are way up, I would add. https://news.yahoo.com/russias-oil-revenue-soars-despite-181624231.html
Furthermore, Russia and China can get oil for an American invasion from Venezuela.
This Administration has put America into a perilous, expensive, and dangerous situation and it will only get worse unless someone stands up to the children running Mr. Biden.
