The government in Kiev denies that it has attacked positions in the Donbas region, a Russian-majority territory, while the separatists launched an evacuation plan in the self-proclaimed republics of Donetsk and Luhansk in Ukraine.
that’s pretty much it. And if Putin does use military force to pressure Ukraine to honor the terms of Minsk II or improve the situation for the Ukrainians who have fled the Donbass for Russia, than the US Media will say that Biden was right, and also Putin’s the next Hitler. Of course, if Putin does nothing, Biden will say that he got one over on Putin, which he kind of has but in a way few Americans will appreciate.
I mean, fighting has been going on in Donetsk and Luhansk for years, now. I imagine it’s likely that both sides have been getting aid, training, or intel from outside of Ukraine for a while now. You could say that there’s been a proxy war for just as long. I think Biden might just be playing with the possibility of escalating it.

I think you overestimate Americans
What I mean is that to appreciate the situation, if it truly exists and I’m not giving Biden too much credit, you’d also have to step away from the idea that Putin is a megalomaniac dictator who lusts for Europe, which most Democrats are seemingly incapable of. Republicans won’t accredit Biden with any W’s, and “undecided voters” won’t remember this in 6 months unless it actually leads to war.
I love how libs and imperialist socdems will do the “omg Jan 6th was so traumatizing and an attack on democracy by fascist” while simultaneously being blind to the sufferings of people in war torn region and egging on for more wars. How is this not fascism? How is Biden and the US not fascist? I wish these pos live in a war torn region. Maybe they will get a new perspective.
This is the shit that makes me want to scream. We have to hear about the truma of Jan 6th, meanwhile they are at best indignant over actual murder and nazis attacking people. I don’t know if I am more sickened by the suffering of the people in Donetsk, or by the attitudes of liberals. When is the congress session talking about the trauma of being bombed with weapons the US likely supplied? How about actual coups?
Mortars are falling from the sky thanks to climate change.
“What if their houses just did that?” :DaBiden:
