United States Is Evacuating Its Ukrainian Embassy!

[Dee]

Fox news is reporting that the United States is in the process of evacuating its embassy personnel, and their families from our Ukrainian embassy.

Ok! I'm good with that. The Ukrain has no strategic value for the United States, and their government is ran by a bunch of thugs.

Ya'll have a nice war, I'm prayin the United States sits this one out.

[scattershot]

I’m with you. Get in it to win it, or don’t go at all.

   Its a big chess game , Putins going to put a slow squeeze on Ukaine  , I still think Ukaine will  fall without a  full blown war.

I would bet a LOT Of money it is just a political play to take pressure off of Biden's pathetic presidency.

They know full well Russia is not going to start a war.

I have been wondering the same, is this just a BS story to take the heat of pedo Joe.

  Strange,,,that Bumbles could not do as much for the embassy, troops and military equipment in Afghanistan, a place where we had far more control, enabling us to set the timetable...

“The issue is whether Washington can acknowledge that its missile bases on Russia’s border constitute a threat to Russia’s security”.

What missile bases?? Pershing nukes withdrawn years back.

During the Cuban missile crisis, we presented detailed photo’s to the world. Yet to see evidence of US offensive missiles on Russian border.

They have been talking about putting new ones in,

I don't give a rat's-*** for all of the geo-political clap trap (BS).  No one in this Administration has an eye for the "long game".  Just keep our kids out of this Admin's dumb-*** war.  A war with no value, other than the loss of human life.  None of which loss will include the President, VP, Cabinet Member, Congressman, Big Pharma boss, Big Tech boss, etc., their family members or especially their kids.  Put THEM on the front line and see how fast "diplomacy" plays a hand in stopping this ****!

[Lloyd Smale]

im all for getting our people out but biden is talking about sending in 3-5000 troups. I just dont understand why he figured it wasnt ok for our soldiers to die for afganistan but its ok to die for the Ukraine. Personly i have a theroy on this. I think the the democrats figure this would be a win for them and bottom line couldnt get any worse for them. They can start a war which would deflect peoples attention away from the border, crime and especially the economy because the economy suffering then can blamed on the war. Add to that they probably think that some americans wont want to switch presidents 2 years into a war. Botttom line is the democratic party is in the tank and if they even have a one in 10 chance of this making them look better instead of worse they sure have nothing to loose. Bottom line is its a total joke to send a few thousand troops there when russia numbers in the hundreds of thousands already there with china and korea no doubt today grabbing the big pot stirring ladle and planning on some fun.

I believe the NATO missile bases exist in  Turkey, Romania, Estonia,  Latavia and Poland _ _ the last 4 being former Soviet bloc countries as is the Ukraine and on the Russian  border, which is counter to Gorbachev and Reagan agreements. You google these. There's a US B52 air base in Norway., too.. There was a DoD bioweapons lab in Kazakhstan,  but the Russians took it out recently. All this stuff encircling Russia. I  believe Putin has said enough is enough, and want Ukraine as a buffer state.
Meanwhile,  NATO and the US are rushing loads of Stiinger and Javelin missiles into Ukraine along with lots of other stuff.
.

Don't know about any of this. Don't care about anything Putin likes, or dislikes. Hes a ruthless dictator, with the morality of an alley cat.

But as I said in the opening. The Ukrain bears no strategic geographic advantage for the United States.
So! With the Ukrainian government being every bit as corrupt as the Russian government, but on a smaller scale.
Have your little war. I don't care, but keep our kids, and grandkids out of it.

[DDZ]

We have zero business getting involved in that dispute. Especially with all our problems here. Our political war mongers don't seem to have any issue sending our military personal into harms way for no obvious reason. 

[Mule 11]

If they really wanted to help our country and have a war too they could have a war on the Mexican border and even the sea and air stopping drug and human trafficking. Butt. I would not doubt these same war mongers are making money on the trafficking also.

“I believe the NATO missile bases exist in  Turkey, Romania, Estonia,  Latavia and Poland”

I’ll help you out.

There’s two Aegis Ashore missile defense systems. One under construction in Poland and one in Romania. These use SM3 Standard interceptors with a kinetic (non explosive) warhead. No offensive missiles.

That said, the Russians are concerned systems using vertical launch tubes could house other missile types.

B52’s, B1’s and subs deploy to other countries and foward operating areas all the time. Just as the Russians do. Last week, a Russian nuclear ICBM Submarine surfaced off the coast of Norfolk, VA. Not to mention the Russian strategic bombers flying off Alaska and our east coast.

Lot of hardware flowing into the Med. Plenty of potential for a “accident”.

And there ya have it. Putins intentions, good, bad, or indifferent, I would never defend as he is, and always has been, a scoundrel.

What he, and the rest of the world see is, the chance of a lifetime to move, with a Joe Biden presidency

[oldandslow]

Yep, the saber rattling started as soon as slo jo took office as the world sees him for what he is, a gutless, spineless crook. Jo will huff and puff a little and blow nothing down. If you need an example see Afghanistan, an even worse rout when leaving than South Korea.

[phalanx]

What would a President Trump have done? If he hadn’t been cheated, which he had been. I don't think it would have escalated like this.

[Lloyd Smale]

all putin has to do is wait till 730 pm to act. That way there will no response from biden till morning. How terrifiying is it that we have winken (harrris) blinken (blinken) and Nod (biden) controlling the destiny of the free world. With a marine corp general crawled right up there asses.

[Bob Riebe]

These seemed to be aimed at, along with existing, defending against China and Muslim states, not Europe or North America.

The morality of an alley cat?

Yeah - promiscuous like a duck.

If Russia succeeds in taking the Ukraine, Putin will have the tangible evidence to PROVE without a shadow of a doubt, and hold over the heads of Biden, his kid, the Clintons, Obama, and most likely some Republicans in the U.S. Congress that are up to their stretchable-treasonous necks in illegal dealing there. 

So, along with all of the above speculation, change the narrative, obfuscate public opinion, and refocus the mindless masses to the brainwash flavor of the day.

Had not thought of that. A very reasonable assertion...

[mcbammer]

   If Putin has or does get the goods on a Biden , IMO he  will keep in in his pocket and whisper it in Joes ear as a reminder to stand down .

   Right on, or way off ?
