    Just getting an update that there are explosions in Kyiv and the sound of jets overhead.

    Weak leadership in the White House leads to this lack of respect from the Russians.

    What?

    1. It isn't the Whitehouse that caused Putin to invade. It was Putin.

    2. When was the last administration that you felt wasn't weak in regards to Putin.

    3. What show of strength would you have proposed from the Whitehouse that would have changed this?

    The same Trump that praised Putin as a brilliant genius regarding his intentions to Ukraine?

    The same Trump that took the murderer Putin's word over that of the U. S. Intelligence Community? By the way, that same Intel community that has been correct in all of their projections regarding Putin and Ukraine.

    I’m sorry but right wingers are so F-ing stupid. In their world if you just say you are the greatest thing ever and say you are tough or send mean tweets = you are tough.

    Like WTF does “tough” really mean?? Do you want assassination attempts, poisonings, bombings??? Like I just don’t get it… what the F does “tough” really mean to you guys???

    Or is it a fake tan and hair piece that makes you “tough”. What a bunch of assholes.

    You are seriously posting this in a discussion about Ukraine? For your information @Roc Paint, Putin's Russian military has begun attacking Ukraine. There have been explosions heard by several news sources in the two largest cities in the country, Kyiv (Kiev), the capital, and Karkiv. Both are cities with well over a million innocent civilians. I won't get into how bizarre your post was.

    You can't debate with those who were brainwashed by Trump. They don't even know what truth is anymore, and don't even question the BS that coward of a man Trump said.

    I’ve been hearing people say that the Ukrainian people will fight hard against Russian troops. I hope that is the case, but i’m not so sure. If the people are willing to fight for their independence, I would like to see the rest of the world join in the fight. Sadly, I think Ukraine is on its own.

    I’m not terribly knowledgeable in these matters, but the first 30 years of my life was during the Cold War and I hate to see what is now happening.

    Prayers for the people of Ukraine right now. I hope the world cuts every resource Putin has or needs. He is one evil man.

    Putin wasn't going to invade while his boy was in the White House. Trump just blew Putin again yesterday. Just sayin.

    So spectacularly dim.

    Russia is going to stomp, even if their planning is totally incompetent. They have ridiculous size, training and technology advantages.

    The best bet for Ukrainians is to bleed Russia through an insurgency. They have no chance of actually repelling the Russians. They just need to bleed them as much as they are able and hope it adds up over time.

    I agree we need to be extremely careful about going into direct conflict with Russia and so far the Administration has done that.

    That said simply just overlooking this or worse praising Putin's move isn't good either.

    Ukraine does actually matter given that a new Soviet Union will be a direct threat to countries that we are now treaty bound to protect. Appeasement of Putin will likely make things more tense and uncertain in the World. Rather than making NATO irrelevant will lead to a further arming of NATO countries. At the minimum this will lead to a new cold war.

    The world needs to cut Russia off completely.

    I think this already is the strategy.
