I saw that - quite the coincidence, that.
And right there, in that pic, are the 2 leading contenders for "The Biggest Lying Sack of Shit Ever" award.
I'm betting "The Cocaine Midget" would fit right into a Festrunk Brothers skit on the old SNL.

Well, which is it? These people have the decisiveness and direction of a squirrel or worse, a deer crossing a highway.

But, they are not attempting to completely take over all of the Ukraine. Ukraine is not a full partner of NATO. As long as Russia stops short of all of the Country, you point would be moot, right?

So, NATO could move in and camp out in the entire west of Ukraine and that would be the equivalent?
The difference is that NATO would have been invited, and that is all that matters.
It's like the difference between legal and illegal immigration. Between sex and rape. Between charity and theft.
The difference is consent.
I am not sure how many people actually understand what all of this is about. Not trying to insult any one here on this forum. But, this Russia/Ukraine thing goes back many years. It did not just begin. This is decades in the making and has not ceased or stopped for a very many years. So many in America are completely ignorant on this entire topic. I am not expert on this, but this is not a new 2022 thing.
BTW, here is the translated speech from Putin if any are interested in the mindset of the gov and the elected class of Russia.

Yes, Russia owned Ukranian for most of the 20th century, but they lost it, and all legitimate claims to it in the early 90s.
Imagine if Mexico decided to invade Texas because they wanted it back.
No amount of "lots of people there speak Spanish", or "we need a buffer zone against the US" would change that.

Well, there was a universally recognized border between 2 sovereign nations.
All the fighting has happened on one side of that border.
Not sure what else there is to it.
It's not like Ukraine committed an act of war against Russia.
Russia has about as much right to tell Ukraine they can't cozy up to NATO as you have to tell your next door neighbor's daughter who she can date.
Your comparison of this situation and that of Mexico attacking the US is just very off.
There were and are reasons for the Russian Army to enter The Ukraine. We do not need to agree with their motives, to understand them. This is not all about land.

I don't think anyone disputes that they had reasons.
But reasons aren't necessarily justification.
Armed robbers have very strong reasons for what they do, money is a strong reason. That doesn't mean it's a justification.
So, unless you're suggesting that Ukraine had raiders sneaking into Russia to conduct acts of war prior to the invasion, I don't see how the Russians had justification.
All I can say is to read through all of these pages. From their point of view, and for their reasons, they were justified in their actions.
I am one that agrees with their reasons. The Russians have outlined openly, why they conducted and continue to conduct these exercises.
I have supported Russia in this adventure from the beginning. I do not support what the Ukraine has done in the past ten years or so. This was and is their doing.
Don't worry. Moldova and Transnistria is about to kick off.
Belarus won't be far behind.

Questions For The Washington Uniparty On Ukraine, One Year Later | ZeroHedge
"Unfortunately, Biden’s trip, especially seen in concert with recent similar actions such as Zelensky’s December speech before a joint session of Congress and even Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell’s (R-Ky.) sartorial choice to wear a Ukrainian flag-colored necktie to Biden’s State of the Union address earlier this month, raises a number of discomfiting questions about the Washington, D.C. uniparty’s seemingly interminable commitment to prolonging this Eastern European quagmire."
"Cocaine" Mitch's taste is in his ass.
UniParty shitweasel.

The Ukraine War’s Prelude to What? › American Greatness - Victor Davis Hanson
"The Ukraine mess is daily looking more like the Spanish Civil War of 1936 to 1939, a meat grinder that took 500,000 lives. That three-year conflict became a savage proxy war and prelude for the belligerents of World War II.
The Ukraine battlefield is proving a similar laboratory of death. New lethal weaponry and tactics are introduced, modified—and always improved—from drones to guided missiles to internet-fed artillery."

"After a year of slaughter and destruction in Ukraine, we can declare that the economic winners of this war are: Saudi Arabia; ExxonMobil and its fellow oil giants; Lockheed Martin; and Northrop Grumman."
