He says Russian attack on Ukraine is imminent .

If Russia does attack Clueless says "I told you so "

If Russia doesn't attack Clueless takes credit for his tough diplomacy working .

What does Putin want?

[tomder55]

I laid out his case in at least 2 postings .


He wants the expansion of NATO to end . It has already crept right up to Russia's borders . He is not threatening NATO members .He made a red line with Georgia and Ukraine .

All of this could've been avoided if we had honored assurances we made to Gorbachev when the Soviet Union dissolved . the current standoff is DIRECTLY the result of our going back on our word .

Documents discovered in England and leaked to the German magazine Der Spiegel reveal that the West did indeed promise Russia in 1991 that NATO would not expand eastward .
The document was found in the UK National Archives by Joshua Shifrinson, a political science professor at Boston University

The 1991 protocol is in direct conflict with NATO’s 2008 commitment to Ukraine and Georgia that one day they, too, could become alliance members.

Why does it appear that Clueless wants there to be a war more than Russia and Ukraine ?

[Wondergirl]

I agree. He's handling this very badly. It would be so easy to resolve the entire mess!

Can't help but think Clueless is protecting Hunter's business interests .

[tomder55]

Think of the possibilities Putin invades Ukraine . Xi invades Taiwan . Clueless invades Canada .

[tomder55]

Guessing Hunter has no business interests in these regions of Ukraine

[tomder55]

Putin who is rumored to be battling both stomach cancer and Parkinson's Disease made a rambling justification for his Ukraine moves . Given that it appears he sees this as a legacy move that he has little time to accomplish ;he is more dangerous than I first had thought.

Clueless should take a cue from Trump and pump lethal weapons systems into Ukraine as soon as possible . The West needs to decide on what it considers it's red line. Ukraine may not be it because despite the delusions of the West ; Ukraine is far from the democracy it envisions it to be.

Flashback
Clueless 2019
"Putin knows that when I am president of the United States his days of tyranny and trying to intimidate the United States and those in Eastern Europe are over."

Clueless situation room . Note that all the name plates are turned so the press can know who is there . Strange
