What you don't know about the war in Ukraine

[Carl in Michigan]

For all Ukraine’s faults, it’s much further along the road to democracy than Russia.

Democracy Index(The Economist)

And THAT is what threatens Putin

War is the natural state of European countries

It's the natural state for all Man. Asia and Africa are far more brutal

The canadians have civil liberaties. The convoy overstretched their bounds.

What GODvernment giveth the GODvernment taketh away.

Worship God and not Government and you keep your rights (they come from GOD)

Interesting civil war over there....

You'd have to be pretty dumb to think the Ukrainians are the good guys in a black and white situation.

No, I don't. And I'd have no problem with redrawing a map of the Ukraine to allow the Donbass and Crimea to join the Russian Federation.

That's not what Putin is doing. Putin is going after Kiev with the intent of dominating the whole country. Not because he has suddenly discovered the poor Russians in the Ukraine are "suffering", but because he is trying to distract from internal voices in Russia complaining about his mismanagement of the country.

What a complete joke. CANADA and Australia are considered "full democracies" while ours is flawed? Oh yeah, Trump was president and that hurt The Economists feelings. So now we put up with everything from the Basement Dummy that you all THOUGHT Trump would do.

What pray tell would tramp do, cozy up to Putin.

Exactly what you're saying about Biden regarding his external escapades.

Um, not really. But I know Biden is living in your head rent free.

True, authoritarians are always threatened by democracy. They prefer people that believe blindly, go to massive rallies and swallow anything they’re told.

Yes, it's different as usual. I forgot.

 

[justoffal]

This is a tyrant land grab, nothing more. I dont care if he is taking the land from sucky people, its still lame.

Truth hurts sometimes, but you can get out of it with a little self-reflection. Baby steps, it may take a while to totally divorce yourself from the Trump cult.

Wanna know what a free-thinker I am? I didn't get the shots. Which means, I have a much less chance of getting cancer or terrible auto-immune diseases. Look at the study I just posted in the Health section.

So really.
