Also, Russian pipelines cross Ukraine to get to European markets. Putin and the oil oligarchs are paying a fortune to Ukraine to use those corridors.

as of now russian troops!!!!! thanks joe

Lithium reserves. Ukraine currently doesn't mine lithium but is in the top six in reserves. Biden's have a large stake in the reserves. That's why electric vehicles are being pushed so hard. Who is buying all of Hunter Biden's "artwork" for millions of dollars? Crackhead to Piccaso over night. Amazing isn't it?

Yep

Center of the Cabal

A good place to laundry money. It does have its natural resources and geopolitical aspects but follow the money. Its always about the money and the power that comes with its massive use...

The Ukraine is called "the bread basket of Europe"!

You should probably read up on what ICBM means.

Inter-Continental Ballistic Missle. You'd need to be on another planet to create that buffer zone you speak of.

They probly came over in the 1920s,,when Stalin was starving all the Ukranians to death so he could replace them with "regular" Russians.

I can understand the idea of wanting a buffer zone but ask yourself this question.

If Putin wants a buffer, why is he moving to share a border with Poland.......a NATO country ??? He already shares a border with the Baltic nations........also NATO countries.

He wants to save 2 billion a year that he is currently paying Ukraine for pipeline access.

But the real big one is that he can't afford to have Ukraine join the EU and prosper under capitalism. Putin doesn't want more examples of people achieving economic and political sovereignty.

East Germany is a perfect example of what he can't afford to let happen again.


As far as Europe needing to embrace more "green energy"............that is exactly the wrong thing to do. That is why they are now dependent on Russia for 40% of their energy needs.

The Euroweenies need to permit fracking and provide their own natural gas.........it's there for the taking !

Yep, money. The NATO excuse is being bought by many it appears tho. Like I posted on another thread, with today's weaponry we could hit Moscow from here if we wanted and visa-versa.

Thanks white!!

Pretty sure we have ways of shooting down ICBMs. Look at the Iron Dome.

We could stop it
The first one anyhow. If a nuke blew up in the atmosphere its possible to produce a emp

It would affect our food supply & prices. The current administration literally wants that & high inflation. Everyone read between the lines and dig deeper & you'll see. There's a bad agenda going on. It includes other things also. Do ya miss Trump yet?

You are correct, I shouldn't have used ICBM for the reason you stated but I was talking about short range ballistic missiles and long range ballistic missiles.

@White17 Russia already shares a border with Poland and traditionally always has. The smaller Baltic states sure they are part of NATO, but you have to look at where the majority of Russian usage of their country takes place. It's not just one reason or the other, but a handful of reasons combined to make a scary powder keg situation.

The U.S. is the the number 3 exporter of wheat. More than Ukraine. Probably will not starve in the U.S.

Interesting BUT has anyone heard the other countries snortin and rootin over this or is it just the biden regime trying to get his last 23 crisis off his back

If you mean Kaliningrad that is hardly a threat. Sort of like saying Delaware borders the Atlantic
