Russian troops have painted their assault vehicles with 'invasion stripes' as Vladimir Putin masses more troops on the Ukrainian border and fears that he may try to invade. An onlooker in the Astrakhan region of Russia, 350 miles from the border filmed a column of armoured personnel carriers with a white cross painted across the top. In the Cold War, Russian forces painted the cross onto their vehicles when they were facing opponents who also used identical Soviet-made machinery in an attempt to avoid friendly fire.
While in the modern age, technology renders the rudimentary identification unnecessary the paint could be designed to intimidate

Whoa. 80,000 troops is no laughing matter. Can Mexico, Honduras and Guatemala pull that together when combined? How many troops do we have in the National Guard and Army Reserve in Texas, New Mexico, Arizona and California?

Putin has got 80,000 troops ready to bash Ukranian skulls in. I say big deal...My man, Traitor Joe has got 500 crack troops in Germany and Octoberfest is a long way off. Besides, Hunter must still have some friends in Ukraine. Maybe Biden can get that prosecutor back that he got fired. King Kong Putin ain't got nothing on Godzilla Biden.

In a Putin-biden standoff, only one of them is a strong leader and has all of the power!!!
And it most certainly is not not-my-president Lyin' Senile Old Joe biden!!!!!
Like every world leader today, they just laugh at anything not-my-president Lyin' Senile Old Joe biden says to them, since he doesn't have the guts to actually do anything!!!!

Given Biden’s SNAFU ridden past when it comes to foreign policy, Putin is well aware that it’s only a matter of time before Biden commits an unforced error giving him all the excuses he needs.

“ The United States last night cancelled the deployment of two warships to the Black Sea which had been due to arrive to show support for Ukraine after Russian warships and landing craft were moved west from the Caspian.”
Has anyone seen a Pentagon or WH explanation of this decision to cancel this show of force? Are we abandoning our commitment to Ukraine? Did Putin reach an agreement with NATO not to invade or to do so discreetly? Or, are the two destroyers needed to protect the US Capitol from imaginary threats?

The trouble is..Biden isn't calling the shots and you can bet that whatever group is calling the shots, they are guaranteed haters of America - probably far more so than Putin.

We refuse to secure our own borders, so we have no business defending the Ukraine or anyone else.

As I recall one famous politician - whose name I have conveniently forgotten - once said, "Anyone can be bought or blackmailed". Old Joe has both qualifications, I believe.
We'd lose the war before it even began.

Russia and China know the U.S. is in a very weakened condition. Russia will annex Ukraine, and China will invade Taiwan. I don't think Putin or Xi care much about Biden or Brinkel, or any of the other leaders appointed to leadership positions in the U.S. Both Russia and China know the election was stolen. They helped the Democrats steal it. They also know Biden has very little support in this country. Nobody is going to follow Biden anywhere.

To the 80,000 Russian troops now massing on that border you can now add about 30,000 more who are enroute. Biden’s problem will be when he strikes up a merry tune for US volunteers to fight for Ukraine, he might only get one volunteer named Alexander Vindman. You can bet that neither France or Germany will get involved, and the British it looks like have had enough fighting in European wars and are now restructuring their army solely into a Special Forces type operation.

Putin has won this before a single shot has been fired. He has troops already massed, with more on the way. They are currently sitting on his side of the border, meaning that any preemptive attack is a pretext for all out war. Meanwhile NATO, the US et al are just complaining. If we were serious about defending the Ukraine, there would be a massive NATO troop build up already happening.
Once the invasion occurs, the sad truth is that NATO will be mostly sidelined afraid to provoke Russia. We will however be there lickitysplit with humanitarian aid.
China is watching this very carefully. If Russia is successful, Taiwan is next. South Korea should also be getting nervous.

Garbage in, garbage out. The democrats installed their garbage mentally deficient guy in the White House and we are seeing nothing but garbage coming out of that one act. Not only is his domestic agenda a disaster for this country, but the world knows he is a weak incompetent shell of a man who will bow and scrape to our enemies in the manner of his anti-American puppet master, Barack Obama. Each day brings another unheard of disaster but now we are getting into areas that very well may result in a serious war with Russia and China. They know Biden is weak, physically and mentally. His policies weaken the country and especially the military. They very well could be lying in wait until the time O’Biden has so weakened the country that it becomes easy pickings. Nothing makes the globalists more thrilled than another world war. They know they can hedge their bets and emerge with the winning side making billions during the war and no doubt trillions to rebuild after the war. The evil at work in this country and the world is rampant, determined and ruthless. O’Biden is nothing to them and he will be attended to at a time of their choosing as will the rest of us. It is getting pretty frightening.

For the record, I'm on Putin's side. Nobody in America will fight the dictator and the band of evil people that stole our government. Maybe this invasion will keep Joe occupied until he takes his final fall into the dirt. Kamala will hide under a desk somewhere doing what she does best.

Putie is just testing the waters. He knows Amerika isn't up to it. He's had two conversations with biden the cheater already and discovered that he just babbles in circles. I shudder to think how much worse it will get when Kamalie takes over. This is going to be a horrible decade. War and conflict everywhere.

The perfumed princesses in the Pentagon are double masking in preparation and making sure all the correct preferred personal pronouns are being respected before giving orders, er, I mean, progressive suggestions. They're putting a rush on those flight suits for pregnant non-gender specific persons who may or may not identify as women. Any US military member caught dead without double masks on the battlefield (or maybe it's the conflict field now because "battle" sounds so racist and white) will receive a posthumous Courts Martial.

This is a NATO problem, not an American one. As others have pointed out, NATO has done nothing in response. So, why should the US once again assume the role of useful military idiot? Someone describe our war-worthy national interest in Ukraine...anyone? It's time to re=read Washington's Farewell for comprehension. In the meantime, let the Germans, Brits, Italians and Danes handle this one on their dimes.

This is not just saber rattling! While our guys are trying to get "woke" those guys are playing for keeps.
It is common knowledge that Putin wants to re-establish the old borders of the U.S.S.R. if not in name than in practice. He'll start with the Ukraine and that will send a message to the other break-away states --- come back quietly or else.
China and Russia may have even cut a deal to divvy up the world while the USA sleeps under a pandemic. China grabs what they want (Taiwan, all of the South China Sea, etc.) and Russia grabs what they want (Estonia, Latvia, Ukraine, etc.) ... and no one can stop them now.
We're entering a world of hurt ... like Germany circa 1938.

Don't worry y'all... Our Pedo Prez will abject strike fear into the heart of the former Soviet KGB Agent, trained assassin, Judo/Sambo Black Belted, President Vlad Putin by "running" up the stairs of Air Force One (or a convenient ramp), or openly challenging him to a pushup contest (while he's nowhere near him).
Poor old "Creepy Uncle Joe" Bidet still thinks he's dealing with Corn Pop.

Joe Wussieboy will do nothing to stop Pootiepoot from invading. Maybe send a stern warning letter reminding him to be mindful of human rights and to keep his carbon footprint down. Besides that the country is his.
