Putin was born, raised & educated in St Petersburg. He sees himself as the reincarnation of Peter the Great.

He'll never again have as favorable an opportunity as he does now. Do his Generals share his vision & ambitions ?

Biden administration today stated that any American in Ukraine after Sunday is on their own.
They also advised Americans to go to Poland…unless you’re unvaccinated. Then you’re SOL to Old Joe; the American embassy will not process you and turn you back to Ukraine. I wish I was kidding.
Remember the planes of Afghanis and the illegal migrants coming over the Rio Grande. No vaccination card required.
But yes, a vaxx card required if you’re an actual American actually escaping a war.
What an administration.

He now has more leverage than he may ever have again.

Poland is opening their border to US citizens so they may cross into Poland. You have to follow Polish protocol if you wish to cross. Any testing or vaccination requirements are all 100% Poland rules.

In fact,
“ Updated 12/17/2021
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Republic of Poland's government has implemented obligatory restrictions on the Polish border, which also constitutes the external border of the European Union. These restrictions limit foreign nationals' entry and dictate quarantine restrictions upon crossing the border.
The Polish Border Guard determines who is allowed to enter Poland. For questions regarding whether your situation qualifies for an exemption to enter Poland or whether your specific itinerary will allow you to transit, please contact the Border Guard COVID-19 Helpline by phone at +48 22 500 4149, and +48 22 500 4149, Monday to Friday from 2:15 AM - 10:15 AM EST., or by e-mail [email protected]
Please visit the Polish Border Guard website for the latest border restrictions and regulations and the Website of the Republic of Poland for quarantine requirements.
Citizens of the United States and Canada
The United States and Canadian nationals and legal residents who are fully vaccinated are permitted to lawfully enter Poland without quarantine.”
Reading comprehension is helpful to a more realistic worldview.

America used to be a country where we took pride in saying we would never leave any American behind in any country. We will come get you; your American passport meant the ultimate lifeline.
It’s one thing to make a hard decision after the fact (based on on-the-ground intelligence suggesting it would be unsafe to recover/retrieve Americans left behind) and not retrieve that American, it’s another thing entirely to simply say ahead of time we are leaving you and you’re on your own.
It’s still yet another thing altogether to say we are sending you back into a war zone because you’re unvaccinated.
I have a feeling most Americans think Biden has turned out to be an unmitigated clown who is doing things to us that we used to think only enemies would do to us. Should work out great on November 8…

What would have the Soviets done if America and NATO had collapsed, and the Soviets were the victor? Oh, I'm sure we'd LOVE what they would have done. They'd be sooper fair, and wouldn't have expanded their reach.
I can't believe that we have foreign policy wonks who still think that Putin gets to tell other countries what they can and cannot do. The Soviet Union failed. They lost. ...& the winners (US) told the losers what they could & could not do. As a result of what we orchestrated, we're right back into another Cold War. Just like the Treaty of Versailles made WW II inevitable.
Or a better way of looking at it? The Russians FAILED all their satellite Soviet States. THEY are the ones who left their own Union to twist in the wind.We orchestrated the dismemberment of Russia. The Baltic states are they only ones not controlled by Moscow & only because the EU subsidizes them & NATO forces occupy & defend them.
And now, 30 year after this failure, they want to whine about NATO? Just like we "whined" about the Soviets in Cuba & Nicaragua. We invaded Grenada just in time, right ? How'd the Bay of Pigs work out ?

You can't get into a Cold War with a pointless country OS. We've been in a Cold War with N Korea for how long now? Does anyone notice? Does anyone in America care, even a little? Or give even a moment's thought to N Korea? No, right? No one bothers calling it a "Cold War" because no one cares.
We didn't whine. We did something about it. Kennedy was the first and only President to stare down the Soviets at their height, and made them tuck tail and run. Scoreboard.

All these so called policy experts asking us to cede sovereignty of former Soviet satellites to Putin because some guy in his 60's or 70's thinks that Putin owns (insert country). Nope. He gave that up when the Soviets went belly up. So stop with the "we need to think like Putin".
We don't have to think like Putin anymore than we have to think like Trump's Rocket Man. You put both of these short sighted checker-players on ignore. And life goes on, and no one gives them a second thought.
Invade Ukraine. Please. And then the one stupid claim that Putin "fear's having Nato on his border".... is the guy who intentionally puts NATO on Ukraine's immediate border. Way to go, Putin. Really cookin' with oil now.
Hearing these infantile explanations for how Putin thinks is a joy. I don't care how he thinks. He's an idiot. He's has total control of Russia for 20 years, and the country is still a complete joke economically. He's a KGB hack who can't govern. You don't have to be smart to murder your political opponents. You just have to be a d*ck.
