This ranks right up there with 9/11 but probably not as big...yet. 9/11 was horrific attack on the US mainland. RIght after many people around the world were expecting a nuclear strike in retaliation. Fortunately George W. didn't lose his head and the nukes didn't happen. Putin is painting himself in a corner with all the sanctions and I believe a nuclear strike on Ukraine, Europe or even the US is still a possibility.

I like this idea. I could care less if they play interleague games. I would also like to see a few double headers scheduled throughout the year on Saturdays. Real nine inning games, none of this seven inning stuff.

I think Covid gets credit for that or the governors that shut down their states.

I'm sharing information that hasn't been shared here. If you are saying if you aren't a liberal and Biden lackey then you shouldn't post here then say just that. I haven't been rude or snarky. Replies to me are but it doesn't bother me.

???

You should expand your horizons a little bit. Its not just me but the whole world. At least Joe has an excuse that he has dementia but what is the excuse for this?

It sounds like Xi is the only person Putin will listen to. The UN or the White House should start putting some pressure on China to help fix things. They probably won't since this is just a dry run for what they will do to Taiwan but all avenues should be explored.

These pretty much describe the state of the union today. At least Biden won't be able to remember what he's done to us.

That funny but this one is more accurate...

Read what you just quoted. I gotta get back to work.

Im sure you know what Im saying. It takes a lot of courage to stand up to the toughest kid in town. If we had a strong and fearful leader then Putin wouldn't dare challenge him. We don't have that so Putin is walking all over Biden. This isn't just about Russia and Ukraine. Putin is showing the world and specifically Biden and the US he's the toughest kid on the block and he's running the show. He's even threatening us with nukes.

Sorry but the truth is there for all to see anytime Joe makes a public appearance. Denying the truth doesn't make it go away.

Good God!..Putin did not campaign for Trump. This is why I cant spend much time here. Some of you live in you're own world of falsehoods and just plain bad info.

We need a strong leader and someone who instills fear in our enemies. Biden is not that person. The world sees how weak he is and knows he's not playing with a full deck. Harris isn't effected by dementia but shes a moron who has no business in that position. It doesn't matter if they're Dem or Rep, strength and and the ability to instill fear is something any POTUS needs. We're in a very bad place right now.

I think you're wrong on this. At best Harris is a dolt. It will be a death sentence for the US if Harris is a war time president or a president at all. Biden is bad enough but I assume Condi Rice is currently calling the shots since Biden doesnt have the capability.

You must be thinking about Joe and his boy. Going to war with Iran would be almost as bad as going to war with Russia. Putin may be evil but Iran is far worse. We will find out how bad they are if Biden gives them another infusion of cash and allows them to get nukes in a deal like Obama did for them. I've heard they may be getting close to a new deal.

I think Trump listened to advice during his time in office on military and defense issues. At least some of the time. The best example of this is when he turned back the planes that were headed to strike Iran. Someone convinced him it was best not to bomb Iran. I don't think he did that on his own.

I'm just trying to help people gain some knowledge so they know what they're talking about. Its hard to argue a position if you don't.

No doubt that Putin and the Ruskies are committing war crimes. Big question is what is going to be done about it? Nothing will be. If it goes to the UN, China and Russia won't approve any punishment or even an admonishment. If US or NATO strikes back in retailiation we will be in a nuclear war. The time to stop Putin was before this even started. We were way to weak to do that and Putin took advantage of it.

I don't think Americans new what Hitler and the Nazis were about in 1938. I believe it wasn't until 1941 or 42 that the first reports of the mass murder of Jews. Once Hitler showed his true colors and everyone found out what the Nazi were doing, they changed their tune.

I've read several reports where this invasion is much more difficult than the Russians planned. What happens if Ukraine holds off the Russians? Putin will look like a fool so does he escalate and go with bigger weapons with more destruction? Does he break out the nuclear weapons? He seems unhinged right now with all his threats so anything is possible. I also wonder what the long game is for the NATO and EU leaders. The Russian aggression, violence and war crimes can't be brushed aside. How will they deal with Putin when this is over? We may not be at war right now but this is the most dangerous time this country has seen in my lifetime. One misstep by Russia or the allied countries and we are in the middle of a nuclear war.

Sorry if my comment was confusing, I didn't mean we should take the book as fact. I was using it as an example in case you read it or wanted to. It was known the Soviets were running schools for KGB in the 60's through the 90's, and maybe earlier, to train people to blend into society of other countries.

You should read Charm School by Nelson Demille. Its a very good book and considered a work of fiction but its based off a lot facts. I don't think Soviets has ever admitted to having these schools but its very likely they did during the Soviet days. Since Putin is an old school communist I wouldn't be surprised if they are still doing something similar.

I was just trying to help and in a way paying a complement. Years ago I saw a saying that stuck with me. It was: "Ignorance can be educated and Mental illness can be medicated but you can't fix stupid." I learn new things everyday so I thought I would help some of you learn something to help you in the future.

Rubio is correct that something is off with Putin, but he’s been off for a long time. Putin has been waiting to make his move for some time. He took Crimea under weak foreign policy during the Obama years and is now moving on Ukraine under an even weaker US administration. This is why national security is the most important issue we ever face as a country. If we don’t have national security we don’t have to worry about the rest of the little things because we won’t have a country. Ukraine might not be the “big” problem. It could very well be the start of a much larger one. You probably caught it in the news yesterday but Putin has threatened Sweden and Finland with the same fate as Ukraine if they join NATO. He is also telling NATO countries to remove their troops from certain countries. Putin is challenging the US like never before and that’s because we have extremely weak leadership. China will be next to challenge the US. The writing is on wall with their vote in the UN yesterday. With their vote to abstain condemning the Russian aggression shows where they stand. They should have just voted in favor of Russia because that’s what they did by abstaining. By the way, the UN is a joke when one country can veto something that every other country votes for. The vote yesterday was shot down with a single vote from Russia. Why the hell was Russia even allowed a vote? For all of you that think this is a Democrat vs. Republican issue you should think again. This is about a very weak administration not only getting tested but getting their asses handed to them. Putin is making a statement to Biden and pretty much telling him to take a knee. There are plenty of Democrats and Republicans who have and can stand up to Putin. Biden isn’t one of them. This isn’t all Biden’s fault either. It’s the fault of the Democrat party for running him and the people that voted for him that thought a demented and senile man could lead the free world. At least we don’t have mean tweets anymore.
