Russia Ukraine / USA Cuba

[TurboTrout]

Just contrasting

When Russia was going to put missiles on Cuba we almost started WWIII over it.

Is Ukraine and the US (as we all know we own NATO) a somewhat mirror situation?

Is Ukraine Russia’s Cuban missile crisis?




That said, I wish the potato and chief would care as much about important HK as he does pointless Ukraine.

I don't think so. I think it's less cold war maneuvering, more mob power play. Putin knows western politicians (of all stripes) have been using the Ukraine as a haven and laundry for their dirty money for over 20 years. And they've been trying to cut him out of their grand schemes and make him the boogie man. So, why not hit them where it hurts, personally, while making them try to come up with reasons that anyone else (their populace) should care and make them look like buffoons in the process. If he manages to get his hands on shadow accounts, it could be embarrassing, and with more eyes on Ukraine, more people start asking questions. Regardless, it makes it harder for the politicians to launder their dirty money through board positions and corrupt banks. Now that's something worth fighting for!

thank god that happened years ago the pc crowd could not have pulled it off today . They also would and could not have fought Germany and or japan and oh hell no to standing up to Russia in the 60's or today .

Thought you were going to make the argument that we should take Cuba.

I don’t know why we didn’t, poor fuckers would be better off

It’s pretty interesting with bidens interests in Ukraine that is JUST so happens all this drama occurs with him in office.

Almost as much of a coincidence as bat soup causing a virus outbreak right next to a virus factory.

Yes, there's some of that to this. Imagine if Russia wanted Canada to join and started moving troops in. I think we'd all be a bit miffed and concerned.

 

[TurboTrout]

I don’t think “defending” Ukraine has shit to do with protecting mainstreet, as it does protecting crooked politicians and more sweet defense contract$

 

[OldSalty2]

I think they compare similarly, at least on the surface.

But there is more at play in Ukraine. Lots of dirty-ass money. How much has the US given Ukraine in total "aid"? Bullshit.

that’s because Vlad has the evidence on all the U.S. politicians. they do anything other than sabre rattle, and he’ll put it out there along with whatever else he is going to do. as for the ukraine….i dont care. they got into bed with serpents when they allowed the crooked american politicians in. now they are reaping what they sowed.
Vlad has the dirt on all of them and what the fuck are any of them going to do about it? i dont see vlad as the bad guy here.

 

[Ravenworks]

Dude,there where missiles in Cuba

Huh?
It was the previous administration in Ukraine that was in bed with serpents.
The current president of Ukraine cut that head off along with the Biden family gravy train.
Do you understand that Ukraine does a lot of trade with us?
This will kill farmers selling grains.
There's an industry that makes a specialty gas that 99% get used in the USA for chip production.

I don’t think I have one product made in Ukraine, nor do I contract with anyone in the Ukraine, I don’t think most in the world could find Ukraine on a un labled map, it could disappear and not a fuck would be given.

How is russia invading neighboring countries not a problem? Were you asleep in the eighties?

It’s a problem, just not for anyone but the pointless 3rd world country.

Russia has less economic and mil power than the state of TX, shit trying to take Ukraine might stress the already shitty Russian mil to the limit

I’m just not playing the shell game, our mil should have two concerns, our S boarder and putting china back in its box.

 

[Darayavaus]

we have enough Bays of Pigs nowadays that we don't need to look elsewhere for more.

 

[Pathkiller]

Geopolitics, watch your gas prices go up

 

[TxWelder35]

How is it our problem at all? Why do we give a fuck? Russia has almost zero influence on the west or really any interests in it.

China on the other hand...we are looking at the big mean scary bear while the chinamen have infiltrated every bit of our economy, education, and government.

 

[TxWelder35]

Everything was better in 2018

 

[Pathkiller]

There is no such thing as economics as a boundary, we are years from that and there's no putting the genie back in the bottle

 

[TurboTrout]

Weren’t we a petro export under Trump? And before and now get most of our oil from the Middle East we keep occupying?

Also how much of my gas “price” is just pointless tax?

I don’t think I have one product made in Ukraine....

[OldSalty2]

Has a minor incursion happened yet? Or are we at full blown invasion? How will we know?

That area is complicated. Somewhat like the middle east. Been fighting basically forever.

the evil white Russians are the designated scapegoat while China gets all the respect of the sports community, congress, and even has the right somehow to criticize America's 'racism' and 'gun culture'.

China bought us, Russia is just the distraction from that reality.

 

[Pathkiller]

Honestly we should have just taken Iraq and Afgan, for the money spent and having them hate us, fuck it, level it, and make it two more states.

We're a petrol export now, presidents don't control the energy corporations here

 

[Pathkiller]

Venezuela is, russia is

 

[Pathkiller]

Should we nationalize, as they have?

 

[candyx]

Now I get it when they said slap her ass and ride the wave in, I'm on board now......

 

[Pathkiller]

Of course with that we would become either a socialism, former or an autocratic nation, the latter

china (and please don’t capitalize the c, they don’t deserve that respect) might have bought a lot of politicians, but the good news, I see lots of push back from the people, and end of the day as a few truckers have shown, the politicians don’t run thunderdome

Then there's this...Dyaln saw it near 60 years ago.

Parallels but not really equivalent, as Cuba was more complex:
Russia had intermediate range ballistic missiles in Cuba, but the US had placed (directly or by proxy) Jupiter C missiles in Turkey capable of reaching Moscow with a megaton warhead.

The Russians backed out of Cuba after a secret envoy reached agreement to have the Jupiters quietly moved out of Turkey, which was a massive issue for them as there was less than 10 minutes from launch to boom.
(This was probably good all around as the Jupiters had a tendency to start their arming sequence in lightning storms. )

So no, this is not Russia's Cuban crisis.

Nice to meet you, Rip Van Winkle. My name is Darius. For the past 100 years that you've been asleep, the Federal government has turned the United States into the reincarnated Soviet Union. That whole Constitution and Bill of Rights and the American Exceptionalism and American Dream that most of us grew up with, is only a faded memory that we are now told to be ashamed of.

Actually our #2 source of imported oil right now is ummm... Russia.

Meh, I still have faith in our great nation, still the best nation on the planet

 

[candyx]

Ukraine will fall its about Putin's legacy , whats funny is we talked Ukraine into giving up the nukes in return we would provide protections. Unfortunately Lets Go Brandon the local village idiot is in charge and the reason Russian tanks are taking Ukraine.

There has to be several Ukrainians that have valuable Lets Go Brandon information that they could use to make some relocation dollars.

America doesn’t have friends, it only has interests

But honestly, we have bigger fish to fry than the defeated and dilapidated empire of Russia taking over a even more pointless country

 

[SilentStalkr]

Putin invaded.

Thats why Biden shutdown the Keystone Pipeline the first day in Office which aided Putin's position.

 

[Darayavaus]

Meh, I still have faith in our great nation, still the best nation on the planet

but our politicians saw the benefit of autocracy, and our idiots saw the false allure of socialism, and since then we have been on borrowed time.

 

[OldSalty2]

Geezus, no one wants to suck them off.

Just saying we have other issues that are more important to our nation, especially long term.

Not to mention of course, of all the contextual information about all the corruption flowing through Ukraine, and upcoming elections, and etc. All coincidences maybe.

 

[TurboTrout]

Putin invaded.

So his unhealthy track suit Russian ass is going to have a MI blowing his wad on the girl no one else at the bar wants?

Oh shit, yeah I’m not too smart, tell me all the innovation and awesome shit that comes from Ukraine

I guess we will find out since Russia just moved into Ukraine and is bombing Kyiv

My prediction; mainstreet pays more, politicians make more

All to help™ the poor people who of the fuck cares.
