Russia Invades Ukraine After Putin Orders 'Special Military Operation' - Ukrainian Bases & Cities Attacked as Russian Forces Cross the Border

How do you feel about Russia’s invasion of Ukraine? It is wrong and immoral.

The tragedy in the Ukrainian is so unbelievable. Please impose the strictest sanctions ever onto Russia. We can’t delay.

Land grab and looters.

Vladimir Putin is obsolete. His people don't want him anymore. He has "adjusted" his elections over there like they are trying to do here so they can keep trump in. Yea, think about that!

Vladimir Putrid invaded a sovereign country under the pretext of providing “peacekeepers”. Seriously? 190k troops, combat aircraft, tanks, artillery, rockets, missiles, air fueled sub nuclear weapons, and warships? Gee, that sounds like a peace keeping force to me (not). Peacekeeping in a peaceful nation that he has invaded twice? While innocents die and soldiers on both sides die and are maimed. The dictator of Russian accuses Ukraine of Naziism when he is the one who authorized a hitler like blitzkrieg on a peaceful nation. All the while, his cheerleaders in the US, Donald Trump, Tucker Carlson, virtually all of Fox News and several other notable republicans talk about his brilliance and genius and their comments are carried on Russian State TV as part of Putrids disinformation campaign? Thinking about it though, who better to relay on for pro Putrid propaganda then his biggest cheerleader Trump and the dumbest news caster corps of Fox News. After all Putrid never did anything bad to them and I guess murdering innocents and competition is OK in their book. Just like Donald Trump assisted Putrid by denying Ukraine weapons and funding because they would not provide fictitious dirt on the Biden’s. But, we all sat back during Putrid’s first and second invasion of Ukraine. So, after listening to US elected officials response to the invasion and highlights from CPAC, the republicans are announcing their 2024 ticket. For President and primary dictator-Vladimir Puttin: For Vice President for life, court jester and village idiot-Donald Trump: for ministry of attack, Marjory Taylor Greene, Lauren Boebert’ Josh Harley, Mo Brooks: For ministry of disinformation-the entire Fox News Team, Qanon, Mike Lindell and Rudy Giuliani . For pro puttin rubber stamp approval, the entire republican senate and congress minus Mitt Romney, Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger who will probably die on Puttins election from wearing poison underwear or standing to close to an unopened window. For the department of racial inequity- Marjory Taylor Green, Lauren Boebert, Mo Brooks, the Proud Boys and the KKK. For the department of women’s rights, Greg Abbott and the entire Texas legislature. For the department of LGBTQ rights, Gov Ron Desantis. For CDC, Doctor Josef Mengele’s manifest. THe unfortunate response is not intended to be comedic. It is my honest appraisal of where we currently are as a country, an evaluation of our political moral values and our total lack of good sense! Before you go there, however, I am a three combat tour veteran of Vietnam and perhaps I hate war and the thought of war more than most. I fully realize that our hands and noses as a country are not clean. Our interference in Vietnam, Kuwait, Iraq, Syria and many other places around the world where we have inserted ourselves unnecessarily. We need to provide as much armament and support as possible to the courageous defenders of Ukraine and full on sanctions and penalties against Puttrid for his invasion of peaceful Ukraine including charging him with war crimes in front of the world court. I do feel that sanctions are like hitting puttin with a feather pillow and the sanctions will be felt much more by the Russian citizens, not puttin and his oligarchs. I might suggest rounding up all the oligarchs, impounding their yachts, mansions and businesses and shipping their ass back to Puttin.

Well it has started. Missiles have landed in Kyiv. Russian artillery batteries are firing into Ukraine in other areas outside of the Donbas region. … … … All Putin wants is ‘peace’. Where no one is left around to challenge his expansionism or authority. It would certainly be ‘peaceful’ for Putin if he manages to kill or imprison anyone willing to argue with his ambitions or distorted world views. … … … Thanks to Joe Manchin and the Republican Cult we are closer to becoming ‘that’ country as well. Autocracies function by crushing free will and anyone that that has dares to factually challenge the autocratic leadership. … … … Thanks Joe Manchin, the trump thing and the spineless Republican Cult for leading our country to this precipice, Hopefully enough people will realize the risks and vote the Republican Cult into oblivion. I do not want a ‘Putin’ autocratic government run by a lot of putin-politicians. … … … Watch out Canada, a Putin-like government here is likely to declare Alberta an independent entity and send American ‘peacekeepers’ in to secure the peace - so our new oligarchs can strip your country’s mineral wealth. After all, in autocracies might makes right.

Well we can put the major blame on President Biden for his strategic fallacy when he shut down America's oil production just to play politics with Trump's creation of our oil domination, and our ability to supply eastern Europe and Germany. And I am sure our senile puppet in the white house had no choice but to line the pocket of his cronies by allowing Russia, and China to take the lead in the world while America slowly goes down the toilet. But not to worry, America's Oligarchs are celebrating the new world order they have created with the help of the Democrat party and the fools that support them.

All of you stooges who lay the blame on the republicans are being misled. I don’t care who is to blame! Innocent people are being slaughtered while all of you pieces of $&&$&& want to play politics. You have no general knowledge of history in the region, nor our role there. Biden sleeps in Delaware while any person worthy of the presidency would be in the situation room monitoring this invasion and supporting Ukraine. Instead he has turned his back and gone to sleep. We should feel nationwide shame for our lack of responsibility in this. Instead you all want to play politics. Wake up ! People are dying because of our collective apathy!

I hate saying it, but it needs to be said: Without military intervention, where are troops are deployed in Ukraine, there is not much the U.S. and other developed countries can do to stop them. Biden's sanctions proved to be ineffective as Putin will likely find more countries to trade with in Asia. The truth of the matter is that Putin used to work in the KGB's intelligence, which means he knows how to plan and execute attacks, while also being able to modify his plans as needed to ensure his plans work. He has had years to plan his move and was probably waiting for just the right moment to strike. Deploying combat troops in Ukraine is likely going to be one of the few effective ways to stop Russia's aggression. The another way to stop them would be to get China and or India to oppose his current efforts and encourage them to impose sanctions on Russia's economy. India and China are emerging economic powers. If the U.S. can get them to oppose Russia's actions, Russia will not have many options for countries with decent economies to trade with, which will severely hurt their economy.

The autocratic dictator Putin has gone against the will of the Ukranian people all because he wants his precious Soviet Union back. I never trusted him as he was (and still is) a KGB member. He is willing to sacrifice lives and limbs to satisfy his overblown ego (like that of Trump). He is also paranoid about NATO. He deserves the most severe of sanctions.

I echo Senator Ben Sasse's, Republican from Nebraska, assertion that indifference to the Putin invasion of Ukraine is, "not an option." If Putin is not made to rue the day he decided to invade a sovereign nation, I fear for the fate of Europe and the futures of emerging democracies around the globe. not to mention the future of the United States. I shudder when I hear echoes of Trump's and Pompeo's praise for this mad man. Their dangerous, insane Laudate for Putin undermines freedom and Democracy everywhere. Lawmakers and news outlets, as well as voters, that echo their praise are equally dangerous and deserve the strongest possible censure. It is time for all of us to understand that we are at war. We must further understand that there can be no compromise. Support for Ukraine as a separate, independent state must be absolute and must continue beyond whatever the outcome of the Russian invasion. Every effort to isolate Russia and Putin from the community of nations must be exhausted. There is much more we can do. Let's get it done.

The only way I would feel good about Putin is to hear they are choosing what color to make his COFFIN.

Why don’t we at least give Ukraine javelin missiles, anti tank equipment, and the same firepower as the Russians? Once Putin has Ukraine, he will be after Romania & Poland. We have the opportunity to do more than sanctions that won’t help until after Ukraine falls.

As Vladimir Putin begins his war on sanity, if indeed any such quality still exists, Donald Trump and Sean Hannity cheer him on. Whenever they hope for sleep, for the rest of their lives, may they fail. I remember Hungary. I remember Czechoslovakia. Trump and Hannity don't deserve the freedom to forget, or to rest.

I am very disappointed in the "weak response" to the Ukrainian invasion offerred by Biden and Western Europe to Russian attack. I am proud of the Ukrainian Snake Island Border Guards who told off a Russian warship even at the cost of their lives. The weak response to refugees is becoming indicative of a Biden foriegn policy approach,"Abandon Your People"! How long before Democrats grow the spine the President does not have and support private Enterprise. "Anonymous" the international hackers group has attacked Russian IT assets. This would be a ripe time to turn loose millions of free lance hackers by allowing them to keep any gains from their efforts. What I didnot hear from the President is the obvious way to really hurt Russia by freeing up our domestic Oil and Gas industry from post Trump Federal Regulations, Lease restrictions and EPA restrictions. Drive the price of these products lower by reestablishing the United States as energy independent as it was under Trump. How long will Congressional Democrats rally around the Administration's weak response and the obvious lack of prior planning. Like Afghanistan it seems that this approach to crisis management is reactive not proactive. Get the Ukrainians humanitarian and ground force weapon supplies. Russia has created an opportunity where its own citizens are protesting its actions support and call the Government out. Make Putin the most publicized public piriah, communicate the failures of invaision into Russia. Highlight the loss of Russian lives, the young in Russia do not remember the USSR and do not want to die fighting for a ghost. Where are my leaders? Biden is once again in a basement.

Trump would have never let this happen. If we still had Keystone pumping, would Putin have invaded anyway?

In my view, this has been in the making for years.Putin recognized Trump was a good pawn for his use. He used those four years to device us, devert attention away from his actions. He set the stage for this invasion, saved money,and lied to his people. Trump praised Putin. Will the Republicans wake up? Trump is a Putin wannabe! We should welcome the neighboring nations to join NATO. How can we sit back and watch this happen? We should call Putin what he is. A war criminal. Capture him if we can, and put him on trial. Trump should be tried for his crimes against his people as well. How long do we put up with this garbage?

Putin didn't try this stuff while Trump was in office.

Ukraine's natural resources are enormous, with exactly 5% of the earth's natural and mineral resources. Ores like titanium, iron, and non-metallic raw materials are major Ukrainian exports. Ukraine has extremely rich and complementary mineral resources in high concentrations and close proximity to each other. The country has abundant reserves of coal, iron ore, natural gas, manganese, salt, oil, graphite, sulfur, kaolin, titanium, nickel, magnesium, timber, and mercury.

Putin is invading Ukraine and threatening the rest of the world if anyone interferes, reminding the world that Russia has nuclear power and that if he is interfered with, the reprecussions (sp?) will be something we have never seen in our lifetimes......All this he is doing, while calling his attack "peacekeeping" and calling the Ukranian president a "Nazi". A meglomaniac like Putin will NOT stop at Ukraine, just like Hitler , he will swallow up one country after another is allowed to do so.
