Can Putin rebuild the Iron Curtain?

[Robert W]

I'm not an "expert about Putin", (nobody is) but I certainly know about him much more than you (at least because literally everything you think you know about Russia and Putin is a plain lie).

Thanks for explaining to us here you are not actually an expert about Putin.
Because you don't know me, I don't concern myself with your non expert belief.

Russia lacks troops and effective weapons to beat Ukraine. Let me say now, we must help Ukraine and of course we don't really need to put our troops there.

I think whenever an area resettles like the old soviet union there were problems anticipated and they still persist... part of Ukraine is occupied by people who consider themselves to be Russian... not like they like what Putin is doing they sure don't and they have picked up arms to fight the Russian soldiers...
But I think a deal could be reached... now I'm not dumb I know a lot of damage to obtaining peace has been done and so it may not be possible and could create a gorilla conflict that could go on for years...
I just want the killing to stop and I also know if Russia is cornered and breathing its last breath nukes will be used...
And this is why I want a deal...

Americans persist in spreading things Putin says. I ask all posters, why spread stories told by Putin? When he took Crimea, then Putin fooled even me. So I get why some Americans still support Putin.

IF Putin ever drops nukes, he understands he is committing suicide for his entire country.

Russia is the weak man of Europe.

Of course no. Russia is the strongest state of Europe and, highly likely, of the world.

Of course no. Nuclear war might become terrible, but if Russia strikes first it won't be suicidal even in the pessimistic scenario.

I know about you enough to know that all you think you know about Russia is a plain lie.

Of course I has. After illegal and unprovoked US aggresion against Serbia in 1999 and agaisnt Iraq in 2003 it became quite simple - "Might is right" or "Taiga is law, bear is a prosecutor".

 

[Moonglow]

Putin clearly wants to rebuild the Iron Curtain. Can he be stopped?
Well we have Ukraine busy doing the heavy lifting to stop him.
I like our country better as it helps Ukraine beat up Russia. I am not calling for US Troops. But we have far better weapons than Russia has and we must help Ukraine beat Putin silly. Ignore Putin's threats as he is far weaker than he wants us all to realize. Ask Trump to hurry up beating Putin up. Biden slow walked his help to Putin. We do not want Americans there fighting. If we lack the guts to help Ukraine later our troops will definitely be directly involved. Who wants Putin beaten back?

Finally I am old enough to remember that Hitler took over countries as FDR sat on his ass. Must we repeat the mistakes made by FDR?

There are no satellite Soviet blocs to help so no Pooyin can't recreate the Iron Curtain.

You demonstrate you do not get it.

 

[Zavulon]

You demonstrate you do not get it.

No. Actually, by our special military operation we clearly demonstrated that we've got it.

Thanks for that blast against Putin.

You left out Czechoslovakia, now no longer exists, and in the case or Cuba, communism was allowed to creep in and take over.

In the case of Iraq, Saddam started the war.

 

[John Edgar Slow Horses]

Yep, Ukraine forces are in western Russia.

The Russian blitzkrieg that made 8km of 30 in a week and failed.

A Black Sea fleet that no longer exists.

You will stay out of Eastern Europe.

 

[Robert W]

No. Actually, by our special military operation we clearly demonstrated that we've got it.

Why do you call your invasion of Ukraine a special military operation but our freeing Iraq not a special military operation?

 

[Robert W]

I know about you enough to know that all you think you know about Russia is a plain lie.

I know you really like Putin just as much as Germans liked Hitler.

 

[Robert W]

Of course no. Nuclear war might become terrible, but if Russia strikes first it won't be suicidal even in the pessimistic scenario.

Why hasn't Putin dropped Nukes against anybody? Seems to you it is a great idea.

 

[Robert W]

Of course no. Russia is the strongest state of Europe and, highly likely, of the world.

Germany once had that delusion. But it came much closer than Russia can.

 

[Zavulon]

Serbia is a part of former Yugoslavia, not Czechoslovakia. And it was the victim of direct, open and clear unprovoked and illegal US aggresion.

, and in the case or Cuba, communism was allowed to creep in and take over.

In the case of Iraq, Saddam started the war.

In 2003 it was clear, open and unprovoked agression, either.
