Russian troops are over 100km from the UKR border. Blinken wants them to withdraw to where ? Vladivostok ? Any further they'd be in Alaska. 🤣

Blinken? Who does he think he is to order a sovereign country to move troops within its own territory? NATO must avoid the war avoiding expanding as it promised it would. Is very simple

If it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck it's Russia.

Hypocrite definition: Doing the opposite of what is being said.

[michaelgnit]

Does the US pander to any other nation who demands the US do this or that on their own territory, no so why should Russia?

[CorvusCorax.]

Lure Russia into a war in Ukraine?? Omg what a giveaway 🤦‍♂️😂

This was for domestic consumption, and I'm afraid that it means war is very likely. He wants to make it appear to his own people that he had no choice but to invade.

Someone is very interested to igniting a war because he doesn’t have business that much .

[JJ-rpdf]

So by VP's own logic, it's even more reason Russia must resist the clear bait and de escalate provocation.

[Sofus.]

Russia has intervened militarily in 60% of its neighboring countries the past 30 years. The rest are countries Like China, North Korea and Finland, ie countries where they do not have easy opponents.

Good thing he realized it was a nasty mean ol trick by the west, darn we almost had him. Guess he can pull the troops away now and not fall for it... (sarcasm)

[vovamankoUA]

Ukraine never should have given up the world's third arsenal of nuclear weapons in exchange for international agreements for Ukraine's territorial security.

[wecollie]

Why is France and Germany not taking the lead in standing up for European security. Where is the EU in this issue?

[flygulfstreamg]

There all Slavic people both country's left alone would trade and live in Peace ✌️

[geoeconomics]

What bull chit. He surrounds a country with armed forces and accuses other countries as stoking the fire.

Another forever war started by an old man who started his career during the vietnam war (and empowers china to take taiwan. )
