Apparently the nations around Russia are only sovereign insofar as they do what Russia wants. If they don’t they have no one to blame but themselves if Russia attacks them.

You cant keep an entire country fucking hostage cause "buffer zone" ... its batshit insane.
You nailed the easiest ad hominem when someone questions government foreign policy rationale. Congrats!
In the past senseamp would talk about how Russia was a gangster state but now if you assume their government is lying you’re prejudiced against them.Congratulations, you just equalized a mafia state dictator ship with a running democracy.. its about meh the same.
I mean you can be of that opinion, I am not, I look towards Russia as something that needs to liberated from its oppressive heads of state and power given back to the people.

Ooh, now he’s calling it ‘the’ Ukraine, which is of course another hallmark of Russian propaganda.Anyways, instead of falling for US government and media hysteria about the Ukraine, take advantage of it and go visit the country. Flights are <$700 round trip, and I am sure hotels are desperate too. You are never going to find them under $1000 once the lies stop. Kiev is a beautiful European capital city, Lviv and Odessa are very nice too. You might not want to come back if you are single. I am sure the Ukraine will appreciate your tourist dollars instead of your "support" here.

So who's media do you trust? No more real truths left in the world for you. So sad.Anyways, instead of falling for US government and media hysteria about the Ukraine, take advantage of it and go visit the country.

I trust what I observe. Some media fact reporting, but certainly not media or government interpretation of those facts. And I am serious, go visit the Ukraine, you won't regret it. There won't be a war, but the pricing is as if there will be.So who's media do you trust? No more real truths left in the world for you. So sad.
He’s just flipping back and forth between a realpolitik argument that because Russia has the power to do something that’s legitimate and then whining about how the west was mean and scary to Russia by expanding NATO so their response is justified.@senseamp you forgot to respond to this
While Russia has about 100,000 troops on Ukraine's borders, Mr Zelensky said he did not see a greater threat now than during a similar massing of troops last spring. "There are signals even from respected leaders of states, they just say that tomorrow there will be war. This is panic - how much does it cost for our state?" he told the press conference in Kyiv. Mr Zelensky also criticised the UK, US and Australian withdrawal of diplomats' families from Ukraine, saying it had been a mistake.
Speaking at a news conference for foreign media, Zelenskiy said: "There are no tanks in the streets. But media give the impression, if one is not here, that we have a war, that we have army in the streets... That's not the case. We don't need this panic."

He said the White House was making a "mistake" in highlighting excessively the risk of a large-scale war, and that this was the message he gave U.S. President Joe Biden in their phone call on Thursday. While he said Russia was trying to intimidate and destabilise Ukraine, Kyiv was propping up its hryvnia currency with FX reserves, as well as seeking military, political and economic support from the West. He said the country needed 4-5 billion dollars to stabilise its economy, including through foreign investments, welcoming a 1.2 billion euros aid package from the European Union. "NO TITANIC" Zelenskiy said Russia should prove that it was not seeking a war with Ukraine by agreeing to an exchange of prisoners. But he said the most immediate risk for his country was chaos within, from cyber attacks to an economic crisis. U.S. and British moves to recall diplomats were a mistake and an exaggeration, he said: "We are no Titanic. Ukraine is moving ahead."
And this is why NATO should commit

I wonder if the Russians are in consultations with the Chinese. The latter want Taiwan. If they coordinate their invasions, that would really mess up whatever strategies the U.S. could respond with.
Cool story bro
Wtf you know about military logistics?Media definition of "Ukraine border" is anywhere in western Russia. Smolensk is not "Ukraine border."
