-I’m not critical of them, I’m incredibly amused by them!
In what mind do you have to be to even accept the proposition that Great Britain is in any way able to provide a security guarantee?
Once again – Jan2017-Jan2021 – Putin/Russia no expansion
ONLY 1 thing changed during that time in the world! Trump was President.
If Great Britain can provide anything resembling a “security guarantee”, why didn’t they provide it in February 2022??

You can draw a straight line from what’s happening with Ukraine today back to the Obama-Biden foreign policy of 2014: they launched a coup to install a puppet government in Ukraine, then used the country as a base of operations for corrupt money laundering and enrichment of the regime’s friends and family, all funded by the American taxpayer. It wasn’t just Hunter Biden getting paid (though he was the most obvious). They were all doing it.
If Zelensky falls and an accountable government is elected, it’s over for everyone who used that country as a piggy bank for the last decade, and they all know it. That knowledge is what unites Obama-era Democrats and neocons. Nobody can ever find out what they’ve been doing, and the best way to keep it all hidden is to make sure the war never ends.
Remember when they bombed Nordstream—Putin’s largest source of economic leverage over Europe—and then tried to claim Putin blew it up? Just wait to see what they come up when they finally decide Zelensky has outlived his usefulness.

Which of course, is wrong too, it is in the general strategic interest of the US to oppose Russia’s expansionist agenda no matter where it is. An emboldened and stronger Russia will threaten other countries as we have seen with Russia’s threats against Finland and the Baltic states and Moldova, its meddling in the politics of the “Stans” and its use of North Korean troops in Ukraine.
Russian expansionism, as I have stated here often, is not only overt military action like Ukraine. It can be economic and political influence too, as with the virtual annexation of Belarus.
Whether we think Putin’s ambition of recreating the USSR is feasible or not given the military debacles suffered in Ukraine, it is still clearly his stated objective, and it should be opposed by the same political, economic and military means.

Apparently politicians’ behavior change, determined whether or not the cameras are on or off.
”On the disconnect between the public rhetoric and the real talk away from the cameras, Vance continued: “You have Zelensky, he goes to Europe, and a lot of our European friends puff him up, and they say ‘You’re a freedom fighter, you need to keep fighting forever’… when you talk to leaders in private, whether they are Ukrainian or European when you talk to people in private they will tell you this cannot go on forever.”
He continued: “The craziest part of this… is sometimes you will have European heads of state who in public will puff up their chests and say, ‘we’re in it with President Zelensky for the next 10 years’, and then in private, they will pick up the phone and say, ‘This can’t go on forever. He has to come to the negotiating table’.

I don’t think either Putin or Zelenskyy should be trusted. Both men have broken deals made. Both men seem to love their powerful positions. Both men have jailed or banned any opposition to their regimes. The biggest difference is that Putin has more experience and time spent being a dictator, while Zelenskyy is growing into the role.

“US stocks tanked Tuesday morning after President Donald Trump made good on his threat to levy tariffs on Canada and Mexico, paving the way for a global trade war.
The hefty tariffs imposed by the Trump administration could contribute to a crash in the global economy, similar to the Great Depression of the 1930s, said Andrew Wilson, the deputy secretary-general of the International Chamber of Commerce, according to the Wall Street Journal.
“Our deep concern is that this could be the start of a downward spiral that puts us in 1930s trade-war territory,” Wilson said.
The Dow fell by 785 points Tuesday, or 1.8%, and the broader S&P 500 slid 1.7%. The Nasdaq Composite was down by 1.5%, after dipping into correction territory earlier. The VIX, Wall Street’s fear gauge, surged to its highest level this year.
The broad selloff in markets spanned the globe Tuesday in response to Trump’s decision to go forward with tariffs: In Europe, the STOXX Europe 600 index fell 1.9% in afternoon trading and Germany’s DAX index tumbled 3%. In Asia, Japan’s Nikkei 225 index fell 1.2% and Hong Kong’s benchmark Hang Seng index slid 0.28%. In China, the Shanghai Composite index rose 0.22%.
Currencies were hit too, with the US dollar sliding. Mexico’s peso fell against the dollar and the Canadian dollar gained slightly.
Futures on gold rose, signaling more uncertainty about geopolitical stability. Trading partners announce tit-for-tat tariffs
The 25% tariff on goods imported from the US’s closest trading partners comes after Trump also imposed an additional 10% tariff on Chinese goods, raising that country’s rate to 20%.
The broad-based levies are intended to stem the flow of fentanyl into the United States, the Trump administration said.
But the impact of tariffs on everyday goods for Americans could stall the economic engine that drives US growth. Inflation-weary consumers are already starting to rein in their spending as uncertainty ripples through households. Layoffs are rising, consumer confidence has plunged, and inflation is still above the Federal Reserve’s target of 2%.
“The market finally took the Trump administration at its word, and the realization that the tariff talk wasn’t just a negotiating tactic is starting to sink in,” said Chris Zaccarelli, chief investment officer for Northlight Asset Management, in a note Tuesday.

China immediately struck back Tuesday, announcing tariffs on chicken, pork, beef and some agricultural imports from the US, according to a statement from the State Council Tariff Commission. Canada’s Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said hours before the tariffs took effect that Ottawa would immediately respond with tariffs on billions of dollars of US goods.
While Trump has long signaled his intent to impose stringent levies on America’s trading partners, many investors believed the threat of tariffs was a negotiation strategy. But as the deadline neared, fear rose that Trump’s actions would spark a trade war.
That triggered a massive selloff on Wall Street on Monday: The Dow ended the day down by 650 points, the S&P had its worst day since December and the Nasdaq Composite flirted with correction territory.”

The tariffs will hurt US consumers at the worst time, it will undermine confidence in Trump’s effort to revitalize the economy.
In the end, Trump won’t be judged on trans policy or even Ukraine, he will be judged on the economy.
Isolating the US economically from the rest of the world is a huge mistake, but that is what these stupid trade wars will accomplish.
And the vacuum will be filled by our economic adversaries, and the US will be the big loser.

Resetting economic relationships with countries is going to have painful side effects in the short run. The goal, though, involves “long run” thinking where there is more balanced trade between countries, as well as bringing manufacturing back to this country rather than always off-shoring manufacturing and jobs abroad. Argentina is an example of implementing such an austerity program at the get go, and now their 2nd quarter GDP prediction is 7.1.

-Disagree, especially if Goober agrees with it.
Ukraine will make their own choice once the minerals deal goes thru, and a ceasefire is negotiated. Zelenskyy, like Churchill after WWII, should get a chance to face the voters. History will show if they make a good or bad choice. England looks to have made a bad choice after the war, in my personal opinion.

You do realize that while Trump is stemming the current flow across the border, long term it will only take one election for the borders to be open again.
For you, 15 million + illegals meant WE ARE WINNING.

IMO, the European’s rhetoric is more bluster than reality. For instance, the US has supplied over 3 million rounds of ammunition versus the EU’s tally of one million. It’s our country playing the major proxy in this war with Russia. However, when Trump attempts diplomatic means to extricate ourselves or at least de-escalate it the Zelenskyy cult breaks out in hives.
