Beijing Olympics ended yesterday, Putin's Ukraine war starts today

[Andre-hzyx]

GO Ukraine GO !!! I really hope war doesn't happen but if it does I am really hoping Ukraine can prevail.

[Mrchair]

Nah, he’s not invading, he’s simply withdrawing his troops into Ukraine.

[sugarvenom]

Putin: - Ukraine...
West: - Sanction!
Putin: - Army on border...
West: - Severe sanctions!
Putin: - I am invading..
West: - Unprecedented, swift, united, universal sanctions.

[Krispy]

Putin just called China and said - "OK - its your turn"

[al-paciyes]

Putin 2 Biden 0

Germany: fair score, our gas supply is still intact.

[anubisra]

Lets just agree not to invite Ukraine to NATO, then formalize a mutual defense pact between them and all NATO countries. If what Putin is doing isn't invading, then we aren't inviting Ukraine to NATO. We're just ensuring the peace in Ukraine. If Putin wants to play stupid games, he should win stupid prizes.

Stop worrying everyone. Our (Australia) PM - ScoMo - has told Putin to 'step back'. This should bring an immediate end to hostilities. Phew!

[josephschaefer]

Remember what happened when we sat back and watched Hitler take Poland here we go

[DonVito]

Russia: "We are going back to our military bases. The exodus continues."
Also Russia: Our forces are now in Ukraine to be "peacekeepers!"

[dhuck]

We should say that we recognize two seperate regions in Russia as their own country and go in and put peace keeping troops in them now.

[desertsunman]

We've been walking upright for 3.7 million YEARS, and this is who we are? Gees...

[harryprice]

Stage 1: Secretly supply and support separatists.

Stage 2: Get them to declare independence.

Stage 3: Get them to invite your troops in to protect them from evil aggressors.

And that's how you annex territory.

[MADMAX-fsgc]

Michael McFaul, what did America, UK, Germany & France guarantee when they asked Ukraine to give up its nuclear arsenal to Russia ? What guarantees where made to Ukraine for this action? I believe there is an obligation to fulfill.

"Truth is not what you want it to be; it is what it is, and you must bend to its power or live a lie." – Miyamoto Musashi

The truth is that it's an invasion. Don't be decieved by what they "say" it is.

[GmaMom]

I agree! WTF?! Sanctions NOW! The line has been crossed!

[homiedclown]

What’s Ukraine worried about I’m sure Kamala is an expert on stopping border crossings

[yomamatoo]

George Santayana, and in its original form it read, “Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.”

[billb]

For weeks we have heard, "Severe sanctions if Russia invades".
Russia invades, and almost nothing happens at all.
Is there any reason why Putin should take the threats seriously anymore?

[matthewmccarter]

Unfortunately after what America did to Iraq we sound kinda hypocritical when we say its a crime for a large country to take a smaller power by force.
