I don't think that anyone should invade Russia, you know what they say about a cornered rat and that would be a pretty good way to push him too far.
What I do think is that either we should kick him out of Ukraine by force or tell him in no uncertain terms that we are going to do it in a week if he doesn't get on his bike and go home.
Obviously he will make threats and wave his Nuclear card but i don't reckon he will start lobbing Nukes around because he's being pushed out of Ukraine. Russia lost in Afghanistan and went home with their tail between their legs but didn't Nuke them as a parting shot!
He might use chemical weapons against us in Ukraine and that would be terrible for the civilians but from a military standpoint every army in the western world has NBC suits and Respirators so won't slow us down very much. The same applies to Biological weapons but I really think that's unlikely because Biological weapons are impossible to control and could easily backfire.
Anyway I think he knows that he would be in the pooh if he used any kind of NBC weapons regardless of if we were in Ukraine or not.
I think he knows that there's a line not to cross.
Although it's very risky for me to even mention such a dark day and I really apologize but I see possible Putin parallels. I can almost imagine Bin Laden's face when he flew planes into the World Trade Center, I imagine it went from ye-ha we did it to oh crap, now I'm in deep trouble, and boy was he!
9/11 was one of the worst days in history, we all remember what we were doing that day. I remember driving my train up out of Blackfriars tunnel in London into the station. I looked into the sky and there was nothing. Usually there was a lot of planes descending for Heathrow but that day the sky was empty, it was a chilling sight and I really apologize for bringing it up.
I do think that President Biden might not be quite the right guy as a possible wartime president. I was never a fan of Donald Trump but you know, right now he just might have been a good fit. I think he would either have told us all that Putin promised it wasn't his fault and Trump believes him, or he would have given Putin to the count of 10 to go home or else - and meant it!
Did the Ukrainians take out a Warship? I thought it was a landing craft.Last edited by STF; 03-25-2022 at 11:58 AM.

Thanked: 13249It was a Ship that deploys landing craft from the vid I saw
One analyst I caught last night laid down the Russian expansions to directly relate to Oil Costs
Basically as soon as oil goes over $75 per barrel Russia makes huge profits and Putin can finance his plans
Trumps energy policies more than his directness/unpredictable personality probably kept him more in check..

ps: I am watching one of your politicians bitch about the US NOT talking to Canada for more.. She just popped off about shutting down the XLBasically she is going off about Biden talking to Iran and Venezuela before Canada ***SMH***

Thanked: 13249
Accomplishments ???
You mean like Mumbles announcing the accomplishment of up coming food shortages yesterday ???
It is interesting that Trump is living rent free in your head and that you didn't address the actual problem of Mumbles
ps Even your example of Trump, nobody cares even if he did make fun of the Reporter (Questionable), to bad so sad, he deserved everything he got...
pps; Is it even possible for you to show us the accomplishments that Biden has done since he has taken office without mentioning some OT Trump mostly BS oddity
Can you ??? Come on Man tell us all about how much better it is under Mumbles the Clown across the world and more importantly the USALast edited by gssixgun; 03-26-2022 at 05:17 PM.

Thanked: 49Food shortage. Gas shortage. Labor shortage. "we have to sacrifice for democracy". Lol. Funny how the climate crowd hasn't chimed in on the plan to sell natural gas to Europe to lower their dependence on Russia. Hmmm sounds familiar. Like 2018. I forgot who said that and got laughed at by the media who assured us that we don't need fossil fuels anymore. And that oil will be as useful as whale oil. "It's coming". Lol. Yeah it's.coming but since we have already passed the doomsday threshold (400 ppm CO2) it doesn't matter according to them.

Yea people say western leaders and Biden aren't up to it? What does that mean? It's an off handed way of saying we need to go in there and push Russia out without actually saying it.
Yea the guy who was in bed with Putin,the guy who idolized him and wished he was like him is gonna be tough on him. I know Trump conned and brainwashed millions in the U.S but in Canada too?
Bin Laden was a terrorist. When you pick that line of work you know from the get go your days are numbered. It's just a matter of time. Comparing him to Putin is ridiculous.
Once again people just KNOW Putin will turn tale and run when confronted.No matter how many men you kill you can't kill your successor-Emperor Nero

I think you may have misunderstood me.
I obviously know that Bin Laden was a terrorist but my point was that he crossed a line and got dealt with for it.
I still think there are some parallels with Putin, he also has a line that he will very probably regret crossing if he does it.
I know that Trump was very fond of Putin and I did say that there was a possibility that he would side with Putin, but if he doesn't he is very likely to kick him in all the way back to Russia. Canada certainly wasn't conned by Trump and i have said that I never liked him. I don't like Pit Bulls either but I can see a use for them in certain circumstances.
Yes, I do think Putin will run, or at least leave Ukraine if we threaten him, and no I don't think he will use Nukes because he lost Ukraine, I will stake my life on it.
Perhaps it's time that the west learned from his threats, maybe we should tell him that if he uses a chemical weapon on the people of Ukraine we will punish him with a weapon like no one in history has ever seen.- - Steve
