February 24, 20223 yr Precision shock and awe from Putin knowing the West are soft and military leaders are more caring about white rage and diversity than strategy. Sanctions won't do squat when so much of Europe is reliant on Putin for power and he knows that. Sadly, when Putin is done, maybe NATO and the UN will do something.
February 24, 20223 yr So the Switzerland thing is misleading. What has happened is that they have not made a firm decision to adopt the sanctions BUT they haven't refused anything. What they have done is to say that they will not allow Switzerland to be used as a tool to allow Russia to bypass sanctions. Further, they say they will review all sanctions and come to firm decisions on their own exact standing. In other words, quite inexcusably soft yes but they haven't refused anything at this point. Still wussies though.

Putin may have decided not to invade Ukraine while Trump was in office simply to not damage Trump. It would have had nothing to do with Trump's foreign policy and everything to do with the value Putin got out of having Trump mucking about as an idiot POTUS.

Long story short, this likely would not have happened.

The U.S. has taken a "non-interventionist" approach in terms of foreign military conflict so the answer to your question is, "Yes, the people you vote in office can affect what other world leaders do, based on their relationship". It's pretty simple, really.
February 24, 20223 yr As bad as what is happening in Ukraine, the real issue here is China. This will give all the incentive for China to take Taiwan as US has now shown they are very hesitant in taking on a country with nuclear warheads.

If they don’t intervene it will be a first won’t it

Biden has specifically declared that we would defend Taiwan. Much stronger words then those used with regard to Ukraine. Plenty of wiggle room though of course.
February 24, 20223 yr Everything you need to know about Russian interference in our affairs is very visible in this forum. People here support a foreign dictator over their own president and country. This is not an accident. I can't believe how well it is working. Damn, some people are gullible. Sure, JFK is coming back and will support the Russians.
February 24, 20223 yr Ukrainian army is holding up surprisingly well at this stage in the north and east. In the south it's a different story, as Russian forces have penetrated almost as far as Kyiv. Hostomel, Kyiv suburb, is in Russian control
February 24, 20223 yr On 2/21/2022 at 1:22 PM, Abracadabra said: Ukraine had a chance to peacefully resolve the situation in the east of the country with the Minsk agreements. After seven years of Ukraine violating those accords, Russia is about to recognize the independence of Donetsk and Luhansk. Europe will claim Russian aggression. The Brits will finally get the cancellation of Nord Stream II and maybe things will calm down. You are doing well, tovarich. I particularly enjoy the way you force pravda down these colonials' throats, like a Frenchman fattening a goose for pate. Here is KGB Pravda Merit Badge.

February 24, 20223 yr Looks like the whole world has abandoned Ukraine.. NATO now saying they wont get involved, Putin might now go for all out invasion of the entire Ukraine. Sanctions from Washington is not going to do much because; - Putin has sold of all its US treasury bonds, so America cannot freeze them, - Russia has around 700 billion US dollars in its forex reserve. - They are also back by China... Putin stamping his legacy here as a greater leader than Stalin..
