    I don't understand why anyone in the U.S. or the U.K. has a problem with Russia entering Ukraine. all the rhetoric about going against the UN or breaking international law is exactly what the UK and US did when they invaded Iraq and killed a million citizens. 
    Maybe all Putin needs to do is say he thinks Ukraine has 'weapons of mass destruction'. Given that Iraq is thousands of miles from the US and UK and posed no threat AT ALL maybe Ukraine being on Russia's border its more justified.
    As a nation every person within the UK or US can just hush, your opinions hold no sway. the US and UK governments should be totally ashamed of all the crap they're spouting given their own fairly recent excursions in the middle east. Iraq, Syria, bullying Iran, drone strikes everywhere murdering civilians all the time, training, funding and weaponizing the taliban, isis, etc. its as if they don't know what hypocrisy is.
    As for the sanctions Russia stopped using the US dollar as a reserve currency last year and are pretty self sufficient due to all the previous sanctions imposed on them. And then there's the donations the tory party receive from Russian oligarchs. best stop all  that too i suppose!
    oh and the oil, Just who are the biggest importers of oil to the US, lets see, 1st place Canada followed closely by 2nd place (you guessed it) Russia. 
    maybe of course they could all just stop their cock waving because no one gives a fk about small men with big egos.
    given your previous take on Kaleigh McEneny being the brains of the trump admin, and future president, I'll just scroll on by this post....

    No one here defends the invasion of Iraq.  So why wouldn't we condemn the invasion of Ukraine.  Thanks for the view from the Kremlin though.

    There's no defending the US invasion of Iraq, but it didn't threaten the stability of Europe and the world.
    You can't compare the two with that argument.

    Actually it sucks because you're only allowed to have five people on ignore. I can't tell ya how many times I've clicked to ignore someone only to get an error message saying I've already ignored five. Then I have to go into those five, determine who's least annoying, and unignore them so I can ignore someone new.

    Yeah it'll say "You have reached the maximum number of ignores" in the bottom left of the screen if you try to ignore someone when you already have five people on ignore.

    Nice loophole Putin has find. As long as he fucks with countries that are not strictly in NATO then he is safe. And he will still die rich as fuck and in a nice comfy king sized bed.

    Overall... Biden's press conference stumbled a bit.  If he wants to seem like he 'means business' to Putin and the rest of the world.. he should have treated this press conference as such.   Seemed like any other Q&A session and you could tell from the journalist's questions that they even felt he wasn't quite rising to the elevation of the situation.
