Biden has 3 years left as President....he might lose the house or senate but he won't lose the Presidency, he will be defined by how he handles this. DD
I think they did not expect the Ukraine to fight so hard, and I am guessing they didn't expect their own country to protest....the longer this goes on the more likely it ends in a better situation for Ukraine. DD
It's been less than 24 hours and the Russians are on the verge of securing Kyiv. I think we should pump the breaks on the praise for Ukraine's defense. Russia has showed a lot of restraint.
I believe it's more surprise that there has been any serious defense at all -- Ukraine is a perfect battlefield for Russia -- entering the cities was to be the most difficult part of the invasion.
The approval process is only paused. I'm quite sure the opportunistic folks in German government would happily pick it up again when they feel they can do so without repercussions.
Without Merkel continuing to run the government from the shadows Germany would have already surrendered to Russia again.
Perhaps. We can't predict the future. That would be truly sad. I honestly didn't expect them to even stop.
I don't know that I see a way out for Putin. He's staked his domestic reputation on this - he HAS to win Ukraine, whatever the cost, at this point. A murderous dictator can't ever afford to be seen as being "weak" or that's the beginning of the end for them.
You are an unwitting Russian/China tool. The memes you post are designed to split the country. Much of the trash you re-post comes from foreign agents. I don't think I've seen a rational thought come from your account.
