Just read the mayor of Kiev, one of the Klitschko brothers, stated we can’t defend our country. In the same article the German minister apologized for only sending 5000 helmets to Ukraine. No word on whether or not these are the ones with the pointy spike from World War I.

Hasn't the West been saying Russia will invade the Ukraine for months now? Look at when this thread was started, April 2, 2021.

Are they really any closer to war now, then they were then?

Ric Grenell to Newsmax: Russian Buildup Sparks US 'Emotional Push'

The Biden administration's policy isn't working and has created panic amid the buildup of Russian troops on the Ukraine border, says former Acting Director of National Intelligence Ric Grenell.

"Just because there's Russian buildup does not mean that we know or that there is a plan to actually invade," Grenell said Thursday during an appearance on Newsmax's "Spicer & Co."

"I think this has just been an emotional push by the Americans. The Ukrainians are not saying that they're panicking about this. The Russians certainly are saying they're not doing that, but we can't always just trust the Russians. I would echo, though, what President [Volodymyr] Zelenskyy told President [Joe] Biden.

"The Ukrainian president very clearly said to the American president, 'Your policy isn't working, it's the worst of both worlds. First of all, you're not deterring Russia and secondly, you're causing panic with all of this talk and killing the economy.'"

Russia wants to make the Ukraine look like they started it and are killing Russians living in the Ukraine so they must invade to save them from genocide.

These dictators just have to rattle their sabres. It isn't bad enough that the Pillsbury Dough Boy in North Korea is firing off missiles to threaten the US, now some little man with a huge ego in Belarus is threatening nuclear war with us.

BRAUNSCHWEIG 92, BABY!

Now I'm hearing the intro to Hogan's Heroes. Need a cool Army Air Forces hat (no bus driver hat, the uber-cool crunched down WWII flyer-style) to hang on it.

We need to be paying attention to what Biden's other hand is doing.
With the damnedpanic all but gone, masks and vaccine mandates getting harder and harder to justify, the White House and the press want to move on to Russia and the Ukraine.
Much of this current situation is a direct result of the Biden administration's policies.

Anyone ever see the Dustin Hoffman movie called "Wag the Dog"?
It wouldn't surprise me in the least if this turned out to be something similar.
