Russia - Ukraine: this looks bad

@Ponderable said
Will they? Would you like to give some reasoning?

Why not blaming UNO?

NATO is an organization designed to fight war, if necessary, in order to defend peace; whereas the U.N.O. is an organization designed to avoid war in order to maintain peace.

NATO is supplying the weapons to the Ukraine, a non member country, which is only dragging the war on and causing more deaths. Escalation to the point of WWIII and essentially destroying the world is possible and for what?...the Ukraine?

Why are you assuming Russia is bluffing?
That is exactly why Russians are saying they have to use nukes, to prove they are not bluffing.

Russia has been overly nice throughout this war. They cannot afford to allow continued escalation because it will never stop. You and everyone else will claim Russia is bluffing even if they are not.

What if Russia does use a ta ...[text shortened]... do about it? Nuke Russia? And if Biden threatens to nuke Russia how do you know that is not a bluff?

Are you even listening to yourself?

vote for Trump to get the world back under control…oh yes, put your panties back in the closet too

He's a con man, but you trust him to control the world.

Sad!

War is about killing people. It is an ugly business. Look at what Israel is doing to Gaza and now Lebanon. Israel makes Russia look nice in comparison. Fallujah and Sirte were pretty brutal.

NATO is just at fault for that war in Ukraine. They bluffed Russia into thinking Ukraine would join NATO. They knew Russia would be forced to invade. Reagan would not tolerate Nic ...[text shortened]... hink the USA would do? Be honest. Would the USA tolerate a puppet nation of Russia at the US border?

Except Ukraine is not a puppet nation of the USA. Get a grip.

so you cant dispute Trump had things going good? remind me who was at war under Trump?

So you are a fan of giving bullies anything they want as long as they don't hit you.

What a pussy.

"Putin has implied his intent to expand rebuild the Soviet empire"

That is a lie. He never said anything of the sort. That is a typical propaganda lie that democrats keep repeating like parrots. Don't you people ever think for yourselves?

Admit that you love Russia because Trump loves Putin.

You are in denial of the obvious. Victoria Nuland hand picked the government there. Some of them Nazis.

And then:

[i]Ukraine has roamed into Russia in recent months.
Russia is on the verge of taking major towns in Ukraine.

Ukraine needs to be able to strike Russia harder so they may broker a peace deal.
And is asking the US permission to use US rockets to do just this. ...[text shortened]...

What do you think? Call Russia’s bluff on this matter? Or temper the chances of Ukraine winning?

Now they are saying they would nuke the UK.

I said "implied".

Sharpen your reading skills.

He never implied it either. Show me an exact quote.
You are repeating BS propaganda. You are as bad as sonhouse.
You are both parrot people. You hear a couple of government liars say that and you repeat it mindlessly. They made it up. It has no basis in reality.

Seriously, get a grip, man.

Irony, thy name is @Metal-Brain.

The UK is a member of NATO.
An attack against one NATO country is an attack against all NATO countries.

So yes, attacking the UK would be attacking NATO.

You seem to think I think America is holier than any other country and can do no wrong. Get off it.

If you were to criticize Putin's Russia the way you criticize America here, you'd be sipping polonium tea courtesy of the FSB.

Putin provoked exactly what he claimed he wanted to avoid: his invasion of Ukraine drove Finland straight into the arms of NATO on a fast track. Finland would have remained neutral, had Putin not invaded Ukraine. Now he has an even longer border with NATO. How's that for just plain stupid, huh?

Im pretty sure the UK will step in as a NATO member to assist lets say Russsia attacked another NATO member. This kind of cooperation is what has made the west more powerful and respected [feared too], in the last 75 years.
