Grave..

 

Even if one concedes the allegations that Russia engaged in election meddling, the response of progressives is wildly excessive. It is preposterous to compare cyber espionage with the bloody Pearl Harbor and 9/11 attacks. Indeed, such a comparison trivializes the tragedy and horror of those episodes. 

Moreover, even if Moscow’s interference did take place, it is hardly an act of war. Indeed, it is not materially different from what the United States has done in dozens of countries, including democratic countries, for decades.

Progressives need to adopt a course correction. Those who sincerely believe their shrill rhetoric need to get a grip and not succumb to Russia Derangement Syndrome. 

Those who are cynically using the anti‐​Russia hysteria as a club with which to beat the Trump administration need to pause and consider how their actions are triggering a second “cold war” with the one power that has the military wherewithal to destroy America. In either case, their current behavior is doing their country a grave disservice.  A desire for destruction.  Just a "Destructive" thought.

Neutrality..

 

The U.S. and its allies have imposed wide-ranging sanctions on Russia for its invasion of Ukraine. But it appears that there’s a race between Russia’s military advancements and the sanctions that are crippling Moscow.

Arms deliveries to Ukraine slowed down previously, and now there is a “frantic effort” to help Ukraine keep up the fight, he said.

That, however, may create the conditions of a proxy war, CEIP’s Ohanyan said.

“It appears that unfortunately, [at] this point, sanctions and the military assistance work at cross purposes,” she said.

A deal can be made between Russia and Ukraine if Kyiv is willing to accept neutrality and take NATO membership off the table.

He pointed to a 2014 proposal that former U.S. Secretary of State Henry Kissinger published, presenting the idea of Ukraine being a neutral country instead of attempting to join NATO.

It is clear that President Zelenskyy is open to that idea, which is a major shift in Ukraine’s position for the sake of trying to save his country from further destruction.

Ukraine now understands that NATO doesn’t want to accept it into the alliance, and the country will not beg to be allowed into NATO.  In other word, Ukraine is a threat to NATO for its ambition.         Just a "Peaceful" thought.

Inflation..

LapTop..

 

NOoooo

 

The desire to fight and in the process using NATO and USA as a cover up- or in other word start the Third World War where most likely millions will die.  Just a     thought.

WAS..

 

It seems that Zelensky is convinced that NATO will help him. As a result of this notion, the damage will be severe, and the loss will be beyond the pale.. just a thought.

Hate..

 

Following his much-watched meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin on the sidelines of the G20 summit, United States President Donald Trump, for a change, made a coherent statement: “Time to move forward in working constructively with Russia.”

However, allegations of interference in the U.S. presidential elections by Democrats notwithstanding, it is unlikely that Mr. Trump’s suggestion of forging a “constructive” partnership with the Cold War foe would find any takers in the U.S. foreign policy establishment. For, despite it being more than a quarter century since the collapse of the erstwhile Soviet Union, the U.S. and its allies have rarely shown appetite in building a good relationship with the Russian Federation. 

They have, to the contrary, only fostered a greater sense of insecurity in the minds of Moscow through the expansion of their military power, to the point that there is direct weaponry targeting Russia.

The first is that Putin sees Russia as a victim of aggression rather than perpetrator. The second is that his purportedly benign attempt to forge a sphere of influence in the country’s neighborhood has been seriously threatened by the continued expansion of NATO since the end of the Cold War.

 Russia views this as a threat to its own sovereignty, much like India views China’s construction activities along the border with Bhutan as a threat to its own security.

Putin gives an impression of betrayal and pain when he says Mikhail Gorbachev, though he obtained verbal assurance from the U.S. that NATO would not be expanded to the east of the erstwhile German Democratic Republic, did not insist on a written declaration.
