democRATs and RepuplivRATs  cannot let go of the cold war.



In his 2014 memoir, Duty, Robert M. Gates, who served as secretary of defense in both Bush's administration and Barack Obama's, conceded that "trying to bring Georgia and Ukraine into NATO was truly overreaching." That initiative, he concluded, was a case of "recklessly ignoring what the Russians considered their own vital national interests."



Indeed it was, and Moscow began to push back. Putin exploited a foolish provocation by Georgia's pro‐​Western government to launch a military offensive that penetrated deeply into the country. Upon its victory, Russia permanently detached two secessionist‐​minded Georgian regions and put them under permanent Russian control.

The Kremlin's decisive action should have alerted even slow‐​learning U.S. leaders that the days of Russian officials merely issuing verbal protests about the West's steady encroachment into Russia's security sphere were over. Amazingly, though, the Obama administration still sought to turn Ukraine into a NATO political and military asset. In late 2013 and early 2014, the United States and several European governments meddled shamelessly to support the efforts of demonstrators to unseat Ukraine's generally pro‐​Russia president, Victor Yanukovych, some two years before the expiration of his term.



That campaign was especially inappropriate since Yanukovych became president in 2010 as the result of an election that even the European Union and other international observers acknowledged was reasonably free and fair. In a democratic system, the legal way to remove a president from office is, depending on a specific country's constitutional rules, through a parliamentary vote of no‐​confidence, impeachment, or defeat in the next election. Angry street demonstrations do not fit into any of those categories, yet the United States and its allies backed that illegal process. A recording of the infamous leaked telephone call between Assistant Secretary of State Victoria Nuland and U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine Geoffrey Pyatt confirmed the extent of Washington's meddling in the affairs of a sovereign country.



The Ukraine episode proved to be an intolerable provocation to neighboring Russia. Putin responded by annexing the strategic Crimea peninsula and the United States and its NATO partners then imposed economic sanctions on Russia. The new cold war was on in earnest.

Why?  Because I point out facts you dislike?  Maybe you really should spend some time in Russia just so then you could truthfully see how bad it is.  Maybe then you might not shill for a corrupt and evil dictator who has oppressed an entire country.



If you don't want to do that, or can't,  maybe look at some actual real life Russian vbloggers who document real life in Russia.  Vasya in the hay is a good example of that as is Inside Russia.

If Putin is a corrupt and evil dicator by your standards, so is Zelenskyy and more so.

Dang, look at these good hearted folks willing to help out a cranky old redneck. ac_drinks  If leasing my land, outbuildings, machinery and equipment were like a job interview, I would probably hire old Dink. You have got to be mechanically inclined and a jack of all trades in farming or you will go broke. Especially when you are first starting out. But, I thnk Blazor and Flea have good intentions and would probably learn quick.



I would like to lease it with strict conditions about land management. My boy is only thirty one. He has a second kid soon on the way. He could change his mind about farm life in ten years. I sure would like my grandkids to take over the farm some day. The problem is old Herman won't be around in ten years. He would have to agree to be the lessor after I am gone.

No, it's poor planting and weather. You were dumb to buy a farm, chug.

Jesus H Eddie ya crazy little urban Chug, it aint 1920 anymore. We have regenerative farming practices now. Weather aint all that important anymore. What is killing farming in this country and making food more expensive are insane policies in Ottawa for fertilizer and diesel.

I hear your crops failed this year.

You heard wrong about grain farming Eddie, you crazy little Chug. If farms fail it's because of insane policies in Ottawa, not poor planting or mother nature. Science has made them minor inconveniences.

Does anyone seriously think a country with the 55th highest GDP per capita has expansionist plans. The invasion of Ukraine is an act of desperation by a middle income country that is being bullied by the most powerful country in the world.


Telling them not to invade sovereign foreign countries and expecting them to uphold international treaties they signed to protect and uphold the borders of that sovereign independent country is now "bullying"?  You have a very strange definition of bullying.

Are you talking about the US in the last seventy five years?



Would the war have happened if Trump was in power instead of Biden and his puppet Zelenskyy? Not a chance he would pick a retard vp who would stand next to the Ukrainian border and call for that country to be immediately admitted to NATO. This was Russia's Cuban missile crisis monent and they handled it the way the US would have.

Russia is quite nice.


Did you ever get outside the few main cities to the rural areas?  Did you know that 30% of Russian households do not have running water or gas for heating or cooking?  Did you know 15% of houses do not have electricity?  Paved roads are a rarity in rural areas too.  Don't even get me started on how outhouses are normal even in public schools military barracks, and regular homes in rural areas.



You can call that nice if you want but I don't think that is very nice and that is before we talk about political repression, state controlled media, and rampant corruption.

Most of the that kind of poverty is in the underdeveloped East and with ethnic minorities. it is a bit like Canada's Northern reserves that have third world living conditions. But, if you want to go down that route, Bahrain is one of the richest countries on earth. I have worked there. I would not want to live there again.
