How I learn to Love The Bomb and Deal with Bullies

How I learn to Love the Bomb:

Before I start with Ukraine Putin and Biden let me just say that at this pace we have shown China we don't bite. Imagine we are threatening China with the same sanctions Putin coughed in his Gold plated toilet. It looks like we lost Taiwan unless there is some revelation for this President. As for his advisers, he does not trust them just like Putin. Many times like Trump he makes a nation security Policy by saying something out loud he shouldn't because that was for his state Dept to do. But eh thought came it made sense to him and he said out loud, sometimes contradicting his own policy. By the way, the CIA has enough evidence that Russia Irradiated the Staff members at the Russian embassy and neither Obama nor Biden (yes Trump was in the middle of the two but he is with the enemy and his country is got dollar signs). Cancer purposely caused. Act of war/ Not if you stay quiet and the bully prepares for the next one: Ukraine

 

Maybe we need someone like Kennedy as President. Someone who was killed because of bad Personal decisions but never because he did not have the underneath made of steel. Even Nikita Krushev blinked. Even a dishonest Nixon would be on call here.. He kept the Russians out of the middle east and when Russia decided to send an armada towards Egypt, Nixon Raised the level of readiness to one before sending the nukes. The Russians Reversed course. The Russians never bother again while he was President. 

 

The best way to fight a bully is not to keep pointing he has a bad gun. While you and him both have guns and can kill each other why keep explaining what guns do. Someone who is as rich and hungry for power, someone who has fallen and gotten back up is going to destroy maybe not him but the nation along with the other nations that kept him living like a king. Why? At any point, he feels against the wall he can withdraw and he still has Crimea and more land that he started with. The thousands of soldiers were less too than he started with but he could not care less.

A nobody who still knows inside he is a nobody. He can't even walk like a man!

                   Never held a job of trust. He yells very few times because he prefers the knife in the back. He just gave his competitor for the elections 9 yrs for corruption. Actually, it was for stupidity to come back to Russia thinking Putin was a man and would not jail him because he just poisoned him. He would have been a power to be dealt with from the outside. Inside/ Inside the jail where he will die. I don't hear anything from Congress or the President. They figured the American people are dumb. They get behind the wrong candidate and they stay quiet when they screw up. Is not a matter of measuring polls but to push the media we still got to show him the light. To call or text or send balloons up in the air. But people are worried about covid and ordering Iodine pills like that was going to save them. What sweet dreams!

He is like Trump. "If they die they die", they should have been better at staying alive. But the west and the U.S. under Biden are going at such a slow pace examining every rock on the road that even if they do something bold it might not have the decided effect of putting those Generals and commanders with the fear of god in them. By the way, the people we pay to tell us about Putin by bribing or doing whatever they do (CIA< NSC) are sitting on their butts having margaritas and Burritos and discussing what they read here and in the rest of the media. 

They should be telling Biden the truth about Putin and that he is a coward. This is when Paying a President for 4 to 8(+ life )years and treating him and his fam like royalty is for these moments. Not to tell us what happens if Russia and the US go toe to toe. We know what happens if we lose but he gets paid to make sure we don't lose and that we have shown the mighty power of God that Americans have been paying for. Is not the gas but the money that we pay in defense that has American not able to live to the standard of living that other nations spending less give their citizenship. Now is the time to show some courage and is not with old planes from another era. 

This is my opinion, why don't you give me yours?

Following the 2014 annexation of Crimea, and ongoing political and military support to Russia-backed occupation forces controlling parts of the eastern Ukrainian regions of Donetsk and Luhansk, the Russian government launched a full military attack across Ukrainian territory in the early hours of February 24, 2022. Military installations, airports, civilian housing, and key infrastructure have been targeted and bombed, including in the capital Kyiv and other major cities such as Kharkiv in the northeast, and Odesa and Kherson in the south. The Ukrainian military has been responding to the attacks, and the government has declared martial law. 

Two weeks into the war, over 2 million Ukrainians have become refugees in neighboring countries in Central Europe, with a majority fleeing to Moldova, Poland, Hungary, Slovakia, and Romania, while many more are internally displaced. The Russian army has continuously bombed civilian infrastructure, including houses, hospitals, and schools, causing the death of at least 1,300 civilians. It has also registered several thousands of military casualties on its side.

Ukraine’s existential challenge is how to defend itself against Russia’s particular brand of hybrid war, which includes a “shock and awe” military campaign as well as cyberattacks and a massive disinformation campaign targeting Ukrainian, Russian and global audiences. Russia’s approach may also include the attempted installation of a puppet leader willing to sign a bilateral agreement that gives away much of Ukraine’s sovereignty and legalizes Russian actions

President Putin laid out his vision of a Ukraine reintegrated into Russia’s sphere of influence in a rambling one-hour speech on February 21, and co-opted Belarus into the coordination of Russia’s military attack on Ukraine. Russia’s own citizens have been subjected to a totalizing wave of media stories that includes frequent false claims about Ukraine being led by a “Nazi” regime. It is unclear how Russian public opinion will react or evolve to these claims over time, as many Russians have close ties to Ukraine, and know this to be false. There are already signs of unprecedented opposition to Putin’s decision in a country where challenging nationalistic discourse and the status quo carry profound consequences. The economic effects of Russia’s actions, including the halting of the Nord Stream gas pipeline in which Moscow invested billions, and the free fall of the Russian ruble, are other major factors that will influence how Russians assess Putin’s actions.

Another question is how long the Russian government will be able to sustain its defiant stance toward the international community, and how neighboring countries will react. This war has serious consequences for European safety, energy security, and human security.

International players have reacted in various ways: the European Union has declared a ban on air travel and imposed drastic sanctions while absorbing the majority of the refugees. The US and the UK have imposed similar sanctions and NATO has reinforced its military presence while individual NATO members are providing weapons to Ukraine. 

There has also been an outpouring of support from the private sector as banks, retailers, food and beverage chains, energy companies, tech giants, and more have halted services in Russia or pulled out altogether.

Turkey, also a NATO member, has been playing a mediator role while shipping dronesto Ukraine. 

China, while recognizing the territorial integrity of Ukraine, supports Russia yet remained silent during the UN vote in early March condemning Russia’s invasion. 

In former Soviet states, there is a widening gap between official reactions of silence or support for Russia, and public opinion, which, while still divided, includes open support for Ukraine, notably on social media. Meanwhile, Moldova has absorbed over 200,000 Ukrainian refugees, and Georgia, Armenia, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, and Kyrgyzstan are witnessing the first waves of migrants from Russia who leave their country for political reasons or in anticipation of a major economic crisis at home. 

But perhaps the main challenge for all is verifying information and avoiding disinformation, one of Moscow’s main weapons in this situation.
