Everyone knows the election was stolen. Everyone is still stunned. It's like we are in paralysis. By every metric, Trump won. Look at the counties. Trump won all of those counties. Biden's votes came from a few counties in comparison. None of the voting makes any sense by any calculation you use. Fraud everywhere. It should be obvious to all. I think it is but people are still stunned.
Then you have enthusiasm. Poor Joe Biden couldn't get anyone to attend his campaign events. They tried, but no one was interested.
Trump would announce an event a day before and have a maximum capacity crowd show up. There would be a full airfield of 25,000-50,000 people and then thousands more outside the fences and down the road. Rain or shine. Cold or hot.
I believe Trump had many more votes than 74,000,000. I believe he had well over 100 million votes, the biggest support for any president ever. I knew so many Democrats who secretly voted for Trump. Everyone was supporting Trump in private or in public. For so may liberals, it was their semi guilty secret. People made sure they turned out. People really got up off their asses to go vote. Only the absolute fanatic democrats supported and voted for Joe Biden. It's an extremely vocal but rather small group. Even they were quiet.
The election is important. Ukraine is connected to it also.....

I may be wrong, but I think that Trump's choice was stolen, I'm not an expert, just my opinion. From what I have read and studied.Everyone knows the election was stolen. Everyone is still stunned. It's like we are in paralysis. By every metric, Trump won. Look at the counties. Trump won all of those counties. Biden's votes came from a few counties in comparison.

For many, it is obvious that Russia has been provoked for a long time and with emphasis on this war. And in the end, they got their way. The most deplorable thing is that this is not the business of Russia or Ukraine, all this affects the overall world economy. Europe is getting poorer, we are getting poorer, and how it will end is not clear.The US/NATO alliance wanted this war in Ukraine since 2014 and have done everything they could to prepare and provoke it.
Unfortunately, Russia took the bait.
I wonder sometimes that if Putin had simply shut off the energy spigot to western Europe and demanded that Ukraine demilitarize and end the civil war in Donbas if he would have survived personally.
I'll say this much though: the cartel on the Potomac is not going to allow Donald Trump or anyone else near the Whitehouse that's willing to end this war anytime soon. If our next president comes and starts talking about de-escalation and brokering peace, we could see some JFK shit happen.
They've already literally banned Donald Trump from having an open public platform.
I'm waiting to see if they can actually elect a pro war candidate in 2024.
If Russia cannot put an end to this by then, I assure you, we'll truly be on the brink of a world war. And yet another, consolidation of wealth and power into the hands of the wealthy elites.
Without some revolutionary activities or power shifts inside America or western Europe, the draconian dream of the democrat party will be beyond solving by an election and the globalist imperial ambitions and agendas of the world elites will consume the Russian federation one state at a time as it moves toward total global domination and the police state in the nations it controls grows to massive unstoppable proportions.
As the sheep bleat and moan, the butcher block prepares
Baker told Gorbachev on 9 Feb 1990 "Not an inch Eastwards". Of course Soviet, Russia and Putin sees the West as breaking geopolitical promises.For many, it is obvious that Russia has been provoked for a long time and with emphasis on this war.

To say that the US/NATO caused this would be to ignore Russia's imperialism, Russia being on the decline wanting to be great again, that it doesn't like democratic neighbors, and that Ukraine posed no threat to Russia. And also as a sovereign independent nation, Ukraine/Estonia/Latvia/Georgia gets to decide what clan it belongs to. It is not up to a stronger country like Russia to decide that for them.Baker told Gorbachev on 9 Feb 1990 "Not an inch Eastwards".

Not an inch Eastwards
NATO has slowly pushed East, taking on ex-Warszawa pact countries.
I wonder how USA would act if Russia or Soviet tried to extend military reach by placing missiles nearby... for example... in Cuba? Oh, we all know how that went. USA felt provoked and took decisive action. But somehow Russia is not supposed to be provoked?
In 2004 Ukrainian President Viktor Yushchenko was poisoned in an assassination attempt to install pro-Russia puppet Yanukovych - leading to the Orange Revolution. The people he believed poisoned him were given Russian citizenship and sheltered in Russia. Russia finally got their puppet Yanukovych installed in 2010 but after the Euromaiden riots and Revolution of Dignity in 2014 he was impeached. He now lives in exile in Russia. It's clear since then that the Ukrainians as a majority don't want to be a vassal state to Putin.The US/NATO alliance wanted this war in Ukraine since 2014 and have done everything they could to prepare and provoke it.

Unfortunately Russia as a society is very imperialistic. That creates an existential threat to Europe, and with nuclear weapons is a threat to the world. Hundreds of years of Tsarist expansion and Soviet expansion should probably tell us it’s just too ingrained in their culture. Ivan the Terrible, Peter the Great, Stalin... It's the largest country on earth, almost twice as large as the second. Putin is a believer in "russky mir" which means anywhere Russia expands its borders into is now subject to: one language (Russian), one religion (Orthodoxy), one leader (Putin).
NATO is purely a defensive organization - an attack on one is an attack on all. If you’re in Finland, Estonia, Latvia or Poland right now you’re probably looking at what’s going on in Ukraine very nervously and feel a need to band together. It's whole purpose is to stop Russian expansion. If Russia could show they are fine with their borders as it is, there would be no need for NATO. But then Putin wouldn't have such and issue with NATO then either. If left unchecked, Russia would absorb Estonia, Latvia, Ukraine, Moldova, Georgia, Azerbaijan and Kazakhstan and then we would have another cold war.

For 8 years Russia has been funding, equipping and training anti-Ukraine militias in the Donbas... sending in non-uniformed soldiers.
Shot down Malaysia Airlines Flight 17 killing 300 people.
Zelensky was elected in 2019 and opposed Poroschenko who was elected in 2014. But Putin wanted a puppet in Ukraine. He thought his military could swat Ukraine's like a fly and install a puppet regime. That turned out to be a big miscalculation and big mistake.
You really have to twist your mind and spin things to look past the fact that it's Russia that is the aggressor here, that Russia wants Ukraine to be part of Russia, and that Ukraine doesn't want to be part of Russia. That Ukraine is just defending themselves, something they are happy to do, and that NATO is just enabling them to defend themselves.
Yes. And what you don't understand is the people you're getting your ideas from believe this as well. This whole idea that NATO "poked the Russian bear in the eye" bringing about this response actually comes from Professor John Mearsheimer of Chicago University, a very highly respected expert on international relations. But most disagree with him on this.In other words, this stupid bastard hometeam thinks this war is a good idea because he thinks Russia may have imperial ambitions that might interfere with the imperial ambitions of his own leadership.
Now anti-Ukraine and anti-US/NATO people (Ritter/MacGregor/Giraldi) have twisted this to say that the US and NATO knew Russia would attack if they had aggressive policies in the area so this was all some conspiracy to start a war but that's not the case, everyone was surprised by it - except apparently Marsheimer, and even he would say it wasn't guaranteed Russia would attack it was just a bad idea to risk it, in his view. Nobody wanted Russia to attack Ukraine. And NATO only started meddling in the area after the Chechnya War and after Russia attacked Georgia - it then became clear they needed to contain Russia. There was a few years before that when NATO and Russia were friendly.Everyone knew for a fact NATO expansion would lead to war. It was totally unnecessary.
Ultimately he says the war and Ukrainian support is bad for the US because he says it's China that is the peer here not Russia. And the only clear winner from this is China. The US and EU will face economic consequences harsher than China's. We also are putting all our thoughts, energy, spies, satellites etc on Russia/Ukraine while China builds it's forces up in the South China Sea.Every single foreign policy expert for the past forty years would vomit over the noxious horseshit you've just posted.

But most disagree with him on this.
Mearsheimer argued in '93 that Ukraine should not give up their nuclear weapons because Russia will end up attacking them. Then, when Clinton and Bush started courting Estonia, Latvia, Georgia and Ukraine into NATO he said "don't do it, you're poking the bear." Then in 2014 and 2022 he said "Ha! See I told you, I was right! Look how smart I am." I'm paraphrasing.
He argues that since Europe sees Russian expansion as an existential threat and since Russia sees NATO expansion as an existential threat it was on Ukraine to stay a neutral party, a "buffer zone" he calls it. There's just one problem: a Westernized NATO friendly Ukraine is not an existential threat. And Marsheimer doesn't disagree with that, the fact is Ukraine was to threat and neighboring countries Estonia/Latvia has been NATO members since 2004. He just says it doesn't matter, it only matters that Putin sees it as a threat or at least says he sees it as a threat and warned as much. And he says once you took away Ukraine's nuclear weapons they no longer have a say in the matter.

It's not right to say nuclear powers can bully the non-nuclear ones.

So, for you it's a checkers game between Trump and Biden who chose different sides Russia and Ukraine. For you it's about how to make Biden and US foreign policy look bad and hopefully get your guy back in office. For him it's a chess game between Russia, the West, and China.
Then you should be happy with Biden because other than helping Ukraine defend themselves (which he has hasn't committed any troops to) and warning China not to attack Taiwan he has been a non-interventionalist President. In fact he got us out of Afghanistan.Because I don't believe America was ever meant to be an empire with globalist ambition. But a constitutional Republic of free and independent people.
Not a goddamn wretched hive of scum and villianny bent on ruling the world

But no, you're just a political hackjob... Biden this, Biden that. Election this, election that. Standing on the shoulders of Mearsheimer to reach conclusions much different than his own.
Everything is true hypocrisy, what is possible for the USA, it is impossible for others. Only We can invade foreign states, organize peaceful and not quite peaceful revolutions. We bring democracy and peace. Hypocrisy.Baker told Gorbachev on 9 Feb 1990 "Not an inch Eastwards". Of course Soviet, Russia and Putin sees the West as breaking geopolitical promises.
Not an inch Eastwards

I wonder how USA would act if Russia or Soviet tried to extend military reach by placing missiles nearby... for example... in Cuba? Oh, we all know how that went. USA felt provoked and took decisive action. But somehow Russia is not supposed to be provoked?
NATO: We fully support Ukraine’s inherent right to self-defence and to choose its own security arrangements.
NATO official statement
However this right to choose security alliances and arrangement only apply if they want to partner up with NATO:
US Department of State categorically (January/March 2022) states that any attempt by Venezuela to host Russian military bases will be opposed and met with decisive action.
Russia ask why USA demand Russia to leave Venezuela
Hypocrisy at it's best.

I see the pro-Russia posters in this thread have gotten very quiet over the past few days and it's probably because Kherson was taken by the Ukrainians, a city of 200,000 people and the only regional city Russia managed to capture in their offensive.

So, Russia redeployed soldiers from the Kharkiv front to bolster Kherson and keep this from happening. That led to the Kharkiv rout and Russia's mobilization. It happened anyway. In Kherson supply routes were cut off, bridges blown, they were low on supplies, the Russians had the Dnipro river to their back and if they were defeated they would lose 30,000 soldiers killed or captured - their best soldiers, so they've ordered an orderly retreat, a withdrawal, before the battle starts and shit gets real.
View attachment 175367
Repercussions for this: if Russia can't even defend and hold Kherson with Dnipro bridges blown they won't be able to retake it. It takes 2x to 3x the attackers as defenders to assault a city and they'd have to get across the river somehow. They couldn't even get supplies across the river to mount a defense.
Also, if they don't have Kherson they can't take Odessa. So this @falseprophet09 bullshit about Russia taking the gloves off and finally crushing all of Ukraine can be set aside. Also, Ukraine announced they are mobilizing another 200k, so for Russia to take and hold Ukraine right now would require 1.8 million to 2.7 million troops and far more equipment than they have. Not gonna happen.
