Wrong. "Absention" was just a way for China to not let the world know that they support Russia's actions. If China was in agreement with the rest of the world they would have voted in favor of the resolution.

Not true. CHINA DID NOT VOTE AGAINST RUSSIA IN THE U.N. They supported Russia by abstaining from the vote. They knew Russia had the power to veto the measure. China didn't vote in order to dupe gullible naive people like you.

The U.S. and Europe need to inform Russian pilots of jets and helicopters that if they target civilians in Ukraine they will be personally charged with war crimes. Russian generals need to be warned that they will be personally charged with war crimes if their soldiers use weapons which have been outlawed by the Geneva Convention.

I just saw Mitch McConnell on tv saying the Congress will pass the defense aid bill for Ukraine next week. YOU STUPID OLD SON OF A BITCH, PASS THE FUCKING BILL TODAY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

There are reports that Russian soldiers are rupturing the fuel tanks of their own vehicles in the Russian convoy because they do not want to move towards Kyiv. I hope those reports are true.

Biden did not unite Europe against Putin. Europe's fear of Putin united Europe against Putin.

I think the American people know much more about Trump and Biden than you do.

Biden a leader?? Bullshit!!!!!!! Why has he not sanctioned Belarus for allowing Russia to use that country as a staging area for the Ukraine invasion. Why are we still buying oil from Russia?

The number of attacks is not large enough. The West needs to supply hundreds of armed drones to Ukraine to annihilate the convoy.

Wrong!!!!!! When Putin invaded Crimea Obama sent the Ukrainians blankets and C-rations. When Trump came into office he sent Ukraine javelin anti-tank missiles and anti-aircraft stinger missiles. Trump sanctioned the companies building Nordstram II, shortly after coming into office Biden removed those sanctions. When Trump left office the U.S. was energy independent and the price of a barrel of oil was around $47. Now the price of oil is around $100/barrel. In one year Biden has ended U.S. energy independence and now we import 500,000 barrels of oil/day from Russia. Putin uses the revenue from the sale of oil and gas to fund his military. Every time the price of oil increases Putin has more money for his military. Also, have you forgotten Hillary Clinton as Obama's Secretary of State was the one who presented the Russian ambassador the reset button which indicated more American cooperation with Russia. It was Obama, not Trump, who in what Obama thought was a private conversation told Putin's representative that he would have more flexibility to cooperate with Putin after he got past the 2012 election. So the accusation that Trump was Putin's puppet and that Obama and Biden were tougher on Putin is ludicrous.

If Biden was a real leader the sanctions would have been imposed on Russia three weeks ago when the Russian army was massing on the border of Ukraine.. In Trump's talks with Putin, Putin mentioned that he considered Ukraine to be part of Russia and Trump warned him to not even consider annexing Ukraine. If Trump had been president the invasion would have never happened.

Biden didn't lead. He agreed to the sanctions after the Europeans had made the decision. Actually, it was the crowds of people in the streets of European cities that forced the European leaders to impose the sanctions.

Beautiful.!!!!!!!!!! Need much more of this. The Russian convoys are sitting ducks if the Ukrainians can be supplied the drones to attack them.

I think the full of shit liberal progressive LetsDoThis needs to drink a few Molotov cocktails to get his head straight.

"Right-leaning Politico" ???????????? That's one of the biggest lies I ever heard. Anyone who believes that Politico is a right-leaning publication is a total idiot. If Biden had handled things properly Putin would have never invaded Ukraine. Sorry, but such blatant propaganda from Politico will not work on the American people. That's why Biden and the Democrats continue to sink in the polls.

According to a Harvard-Harris poll released Feb. 25 62% of American voters believe Putin would not have invaded Ukraine if Trump were president.

Putin from the day he took office planned to rebuild the Soviet Union. The reason ex-soviet states applied for membership to NATO is because they did not want to be part of a reconstituted USSR. Scholz and Macron were surprised by Putin's lies? Putin is ex-KGB. Lying is a way of life for Putin. If Putin's lips are moving he is lying.

Right now there is a 17 mile long Russian military convoy heading for Kyiv. The convoy is moving very slowly out in the open. Why does the West not put Ukrainian flag decals on armed drones and use the drones to attack the convoy? If we can attack remote locations in Afghanistan with drones under the control of people in the U.S., surely we can operate drones over Ukraine.

When will you realize that the ruling class run news media has told nothing but lies about Trump ever since he decided to run for president. You are the one who is misinformed, not me.

You can talk all the theories you want, but if an enemy country puts 190,000 troops on my border I'm preparing for an invasion.

You are totally, totally, totally wrong. Period, end of conversation.

When an enemy country puts a 190,000 man army on your border it doesn't take a genius to realize that they are planning to invade. In fact, the U.S. State Dept. and Defense Dept. were saying Putin was going to invade weeks before the invasion started.

In 2016 George W. Bush's brother Jeb Bush was suppose to be the Republican nominee for president, but the American people had become disillusioned with the career politicians who were part of the American ruling class and as a result chose Donald Trump because he was not a career politician.

No, Trump is not the same as Bush. Trump represents a threat to the American ruling class because he has taken the side of the American people against them. The American ruling class includes corrupt politicians and government bureaucrats, a corrupt news media, corrupt corporate CEOs, corrupt union leaders, and corrupt university administrators. All those people have been trying to destroy Trump ever since he announced he was running for president in 2015.

For seven months previous to the invasion Russia was massing their military on the border of Ukraine. All the brilliant leaders in the West did almost nothing. Now that the Russian military controls the airspace, roads, and railways into Ukraine the leaders of the West are panicked and saying we need to rush weapons and humanitarian supplies to the Ukrainians. Putin was not going to attack while the Olympics were taking place in China because he did not want to upstage his ally Xi. That means the West could have used the period of the Olympics to supply Ukraine with everything they needed to fight the Russians. That action may have even caused Putin to abandon his plan to invade.
