A Quick and Clear Summation of the Situation in Ukraine.

[Donald H]

Chechnya/Ichkeria - invaded, annexed fully.
Georgia - invaded, partially annexed.
Ukraine - invaded, partially annexed
Belarus - not invaded, but is effectively a Russian subsidiary, ran by a Kremlin subserviant dictator.

Chechnya/Ichkeria - clinton was president
Georgia and Ukraine invaded under the obama-biden junta

All failed US attempts at aggression, for the purpose of destroying Russia's superpower status.

You mindless idiots ignored inflation for 4 years.

It's mostly what we've talked about here when it came to economics, including with you.

Are you senile? Maybe bad case of amnesia?

It's about Economics and Civics......are you stupid?

What makes you think you can get away with blaming your shit on Trump?

We've been paying inflated prices on everything for years.

Trump has only been in office for a matter of days. What he's done so far has no effect on what we've been feeling the last 4 years.

STFU, idiot!!!

So your braindead blaming Biden for global Covid inflation was cool...but blaming Trump for his clearly inflationary policies is not?

You are not all there.

 

[AntonToo]

It depends mostly on the definition of the "real country" term. Do you believe that Pindostan or Hillbilliland are real countries? "Reality" of money, states, borders social institutions is mostly a matter of collective beliefs. If we all believe that nuka-cola caps are "real money", they are "real money".

Same thing is about Ukraine. Nobody needs Ukraine or believe in Ukraine (less of all - Ukrainians themselves).

So Ukraine is not a real country, thats what you are saying, right?

 

[mudwhistle]

So long as Ukraine didn't try and join NATO.

You kinda left that REEEEEEALY important part out.

Why, skippy?

I think these folks don't understand why that's important.

Ukraine: the history behind Russia’s claim that Nato promised not to expand to the east

Russia insists that there was an agreement not to expand Nato eastwards after the end of the USSR. History begs to differ.

Oh, they do. But in the interest of their narrative they ignore it.

Anyone with any education on civics and economics know that price increases that Trump policies will effect are going to be felt later this year. Everything we're feeling now is because of the malfeasance of the Biden Adm after the Dems lost the election.

 

[Robert W]

How odd that Putin only had to wait for Trump to be in office for all his crimes to be forgiven

What cracks me up is the number of loyalist Bidenistas sticking up for Putin by talking on his behalf. America did not buy your BS then nor tomorrow.

 

[WelfareQueen]

 

[Robert W]

You mean, he came to the aid of a Democracy facing totalitarian aggression?

Funny, I seem to remember when that was what America stood for.

Biden slow walked the help after Zelensky begged him for it. You did not see Zelensky come to this country begging for help? Since the invasion, I have said this over and over on this forum. Now Trump is not slow walking it, he stopped any new shipments. Zelensky blew it for now.

 

[Zavulon]

So Ukraine is not a real country, thats what you are saying, right?

I said it depends on your definition of the term.

Thats just not true.

Market expectations have a self-fulfilling tendencies on some indictators which happen to include INFLATION.

When people EXPECT higher prices they change their behavior, bussiness and investment strategies.

When Fed expects more inflation, they keep interest rates higher then they would otherwise.

Take your half-baked understanding of "civics and economics" elsewhere.

 

[AntonToo]

I said it depends on your definition of the term.

Sure sure, it's all so relative and unclear and subjective.

So by your definition is Ukraine a real country?

Don't be afraid to answer simple questions Russian citizen.

 

[Robert W]

Military force is all you Putinists understand, all you have any respect for.

That is precisely why since 2022 when Zelensky kept begging Biden I was upset that Biden was not willing to apply force fast, but keep Zelensky begging for it. Zelensky has now apologized. We will see if Trump will try to win or do what Biden did and slow walk any help to Zelensky.

I told you before that Trump promissed to Orban - "not a penny!" for Ukrane. You called it "fake news", even though Trump never denied it.

And what do we have today? Trump halting all millitary aid to Ukraine, oh my! Who could have possibly predicted that?

This while you are still posting something about Biden and him not giving enough to Ukraine.

 

[Robert W]

And what do we have today? Trump halting all millitary aid to Ukraine, while you are still complaining about Biden not giving Ukraine enough.

Trump is actually taking on Bidens approach and yes had Biden went to war correctly, Putin would be licking his wounds and not gloating. Biden made Putin gloat to begin with and I don't like what Trump did. But you liked Bidens slow walking for years and years.

 

[Zavulon]

In my personal opinion Ukraine is less real than Abkhazia, but may be a bit more real than Alavitostan.

 

[rightwinger]

What would be the cost of driving Russia out of that territory? How many would need to die? Sometimes, you cut your losses, and in this case you invite Americans in and now you have a security guarantee. Does anyone think a future democrat president's big money backers would accept the loss of all those mineral rights?

Russia needs to pay a price for their occupation

Trump is letting them off the hook

How is Trump letting Russia off the hook. Be specific.
