The US and the world learned better. You should have learned, but didn't. Appeasing the bear is a dangerous strategy, as it will only continue to eat, if allowed to forage and increase it's territory.Reset buttons with Putin? What would be the point?
You'd have to ask the corrupt old sot who thought it was a good idea.
You seem like a modern Neville Chamberlain, appeaser kind of guy.
Like the Dems who thought Russia was groovy for 100 years after the revolution?
The Islamic Republic of GermanyI like tucker carlson but if that is his position on russia vs ukraine then I respectfully disagree
we owe protection for ukraine and we need a strong show of force to deter russian aggression
whats missing are the germans who are refusing to stand with the rest of the free world

His actions require diplomacy, but little flexibility as long as he continues to work toward his end goals at the end of a gun tube.Better than to give Russia reset buttons and be all flexible with Putin?
Nice selective quoting. View attachment 593755
You quoted part of my post. The memorandum, signed in 1994, is not legally binding.
However you left out what followed.
I posted That agreement was not legally binding. However …
Then I followed up with a link that discussed the issue in depth and mentioned much of what you posted plus something I haven’t heard mentioned before. Ukraine was considering nuclear rearmament and 50% of the people in that nation were for it.
All true you nailed it....Longterm the Russian dictatorship is vulnerable to the chicom dictatorship
But if the US resists naked chinese military aggression over Taiwan putin will be strongly tempted to invade ukraine
or if Putin invades ukraine and ties up US military there Xi might strike against Taiwan
that was not true during the Cold War when we maintained enough forces to successfully fight on two fronts
now, its questionable and to do so will cost more American lives thanks to penny-pinching libs

Tucker is an isolationist.

Ukraine got a signed commitment in 1994 to ensure its security – but can the US and allies stop Putin’s aggression now?
As Russia threatens to invade Ukraine, Ukrainians wonder about the worth of a 1994 agreement signed by Russia, the US and the UK, who promised to protect the newly independent state’s sovereignty.theconversation.com

The memorandum, signed in 1994, is not legally binding.
Nonetheless, it embeds and reaffirms the solemn assurances that are the hallmark of the international system. These include respect for state sovereignty, the inviolability of international borders and abstention from the threat or use of force.
Ukraine’s decision to give up nuclear weapons signaled its desire to be seen as a member in good standing of the international community, rather than an outlier.
The decision was not just symbolic. While Ukraine did not inherit a fully fledged nuclear capacity – Russia still held important parts of the nuclear infrastructure – Ukraine had the necessary technological and industrial ability to close the gaps.
Many in Ukraine feel that the country’s 1994 decision to give up its nuclear arms was a mistake.
Popular support for nuclear rearmament rose to a historic high of nearly 50% in the wake of Russia’s invasion in 2014. Since then, that view has been supported by some Ukrainian public figures.…emphasis added

Perhaps Putin in worried that the Ukraine might reacquire nukes. As corrupt as the Ukraine is I would be worried if I was Putin too.
Too bad you let some talking head, get you upset for 4 years. So Donny was a dipshit and accost asked question your and your hero didn't like. Big deal.
Don't respond, or do you lack the self-discipline as Donny?Damn, something else you're good at, revisionist history. Run along commie, you're boring the hell out of me.

What do we get from Ukraine except corruption that makes crooked politicians and their families wealthy (Joe Biden and Hunter).Yeah, why worry about doing the right thing when we can wiggle out on a technicality. And the only thing Putin is worried about is reconstituting the old Soviet Union.

Most right-wingers are tired of fighting wars in far off hell holes for little or no reason. We were happy with Trump as he kept us out of war. Now we have a corrupt President who looks forward to getting involved in a conflict that will make the military industrial complex big bucks. This bumbling fool, Joe Biden, will likely get us involved in a European conflict and then China will invade and take over Taiwan and Iran will attack Israel or Israel will attack Iran.And that changes what, exactly? Now the Ukraine is supposed to do what Putin tells it to do now? Kerry and Biden are fine with the Mullahs having nukes, so why not Ukraine, too? AS for 'not legally binding', again so what? A deal is a deal; if you need a lawyer to do business with somebody, then you probably shouldn't do business with them at all. Putin never abided by any treaties.
I get it, though; most right wingers are only all badass n shit when they're pushing around powerless people, and would rather run from bullies than stand up to them. That's why it was always the old line liberals that saved our allies and stood up to the Japs and Hitlers and Kaisers of the world, along with stopping the Reds expansionism. The 'conservatives' just hid out on their estates behind private armies and sniveled and cried for the government to shoot down all those uppity proles for them when they collapsed entire economies and plundered their own people.

If we start fighting the Russians in the Ukraine how are we susposed to stop the Chinese from taking over Taiwan. Experts say we can not fight two major wars at the same time.
What do we get from Taiwan?
2 charts show how much the world depends on Taiwan for semiconductors

Taiwan’s outsized role in chipmaking has come under the spotlight as a global shortage of semiconductors forced several automakers to halt production.
Countries including the U.S. and Germany reached out to Taiwan to help alleviate bottlenecks in the production of chips. The shortage was a result of increased demand for electronicsduring the Covid-19 pandemic, and was exacerbated by former President Donald Trump’s trade war with China.
Taiwan dominates the foundry market, or the outsourcing of semiconductor manufacturing. Its contract manufacturers together accounted for more than 60% of total global foundry revenue last year, according to data by Taipei-based research firm TrendForce.
Much of Taiwan’s dominance can be attributed to Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co or TSMC, the world’s largest foundry that counts major technology firms such as Apple, Qualcomm and Nvidia as its clients. TSMC accounted for 54% of total foundry revenue globally last year, TrendForce data showed.
America Cannot Take On China And Russia Simultaneously
U.S. concerns about the risks of fighting a coming war with Russia and China are well-grounded, given it is unprepared to fight even a purely conventional war with them.nationalinterest.org
