Global Events & Politics Überthread

I understand perfectly well how this looks through the eyes of Putin. We should try to see things as he sees them. But not for the purpose of accommodating his wishes.

What benefits to the safety and security of the EU exists in accepting the Ukraine? What are the negatives?

How else would you look at something like this?
 
What benefits to the safety and security of the EU exists in accepting the Ukraine?

I think Europe (and the rest of the world) have an overriding interest in a rule-based international system under which a country like Ukraine can make choices of that sort for itself. As opposed to a system where a paranoid and grievance-filled dictator can threaten them (and actually invade them) if they don't do as he wants. It is a choice worth fighting over.

This is another example of 'pie in the sky' idealistic policies that do nothing but negatively impact people on the whole.

Everyone knows this invasion would not have happened if not for the climate alarmists.

Can you be a bit more granular?

How does Ukraine's membership into the EU impact the citizens of the EU positively and weigh that against what we are now seeing as the clear negative.

JUST IN - Biden set to ban imports of Russian oil, LNG, and coal without the participation of European allies as soon as today, Bloomberg reports.

______________

Doing this without a revitalization of our own energy production seems a bit incomplete.

It was worse than that. He was trying to blackmail Zelinsky into manufacturing dirt on a political opponent.
 
For ****s and giggles imagine the following conversation:

Vlad the Bad: Hey Joe, I'm ready to begin talks to withdraw from Ukraine.

credibly accused creepy joe: That's great Vlad, but first I need a little favor. I need that tape of very poorly chosen one taking a leak. Yeah, the one at the Ritz. If you can look into it and find something like that I would really appreciate it.

"Manufacturing" - You sure about that?

The laptop corroborated all of this.

What was Hunter getting 83K a month for Nsacpi?
 
How can you even pretend that the laptop isn't a real thing and showed that the Ukrainian impeachment was a bunch of garbage?

Its not "if" the dirt existed. Its whether or not Zelensky wanted to out the corruption and just like Ukrainian fashion he decided not to.
 
impeach hunter

10% for the big guy.

Considering your boy Putin is the king of "10% for the big guy" I'm shocked you aren't outraged at the racket the Bidens were running.

Do you want to opine on what services Hunter was rendering that was worth 83K a month?
 
It is because liberals have been programmed to support whatever the narrative the tv box is telling them to support

Arguing with a liberal today is about the same as arguing with Siri. They are programmed to believe what they all believe

The idea of Ukraine being a 'buffer' was always the intention.

Anyone pretending otherwise is being an idiot.
 
And when Ukraine falls, some other country becomes the ‘buffer’ and so on.

So Ukraine isn’t a buffer,

Putin is already giving a path to stop the war with Ukraine maintaining its current status.

For some reason you seem to think that this was just a random incursion with no history prior.

How would you feel if the CCP created an alliance with Mexico and began arming their military? This is literally what Putin sees right now. If you aren't going to try and see that for yourself then thats your decision.

If you believe anything Putin says, you’re an idiot. They’ve already broken multiple ceasefires. Putin is a ruthless piece of ****, why you continuously stick up for him baffles me.

Would that path include reparations for the damage caused and compensation for the families who have suffered losses. It seems to me Vlad the Bad owes these things to Ukraine.

THat would be perfectly justifiable from a basic morality position. No way in hell someone like Putin agrees to it.
