US Foreign Policy 3.0: We're The Mets of International Diplomacy

[aparch]

Lies lies, lies, yeah (they're gonna get ya).

Looks like the messaging has changed once again. No "War in Ukraine," no "Special Operations," and no "Training drills."

Now it's a Civil War between Russians and Anti-Russian Russians, and Putin is just helping the Russian side.

We have always been at war with Eastasia.

Rolling stone can be hit or miss but Jeff is amazing.

I really do think the impending hunger crisis is going to be big, and I think Putin will count on sanctions lessening when people are starving

I think that is the kind of thing that would have been a big deal here and people would have wanted to help, but in modern day America I doubt many people care beyond what impact it has on them.

Ouch. I wonder how Russian state TV is spinning this. It's not 1968, and Poots is no Brezhnev.

On Thursday, June 23, the European Parliament adopted a resolution on granting Ukraine and Moldova the status of a candidate for membership in the European Union without delay.​

Ukraine's Verkhovna Rada Chair Ruslan Stefanchuk thanked the European Parliament for adopting a resolution on granting EU candidate status to Ukraine.

​

According to the document, which will be considered by the European Council at its meeting in Brussels on June 23-24, the European Commission recommended granting EU candidate status to Ukraine and Moldova with a list of tasks to be performed.​

NATO announces it is increasing its rapid reaction force from 40k to 300k.

Here comes the Republican Party's newfound wing of doves to complain about NATO aggression towards Moscow.

If only Biden hadn't spoken so derisively about Putin, he never would have attacked Ukraine. Its all the fault of the US.

He never attacked Ukraine when Trump was president.

.....why?

 

[St. Clown]

.....why?

We have/will have new Scandinavian allies, and they’ve been threatened explicitly by Moscow for expressing interest in joining NATO.

 

[FadeToBlack&Gold]

.....why?

Signaling to Putin they aren't fucking around.

 

[dxmnkd316]

Signaling to Putin they aren't fucking around.

I can imagine 300k troops, hundreds of billions, and an assload of equipment not subject to careful negotiations is like putting 30-40 cannons in a wall between Europe and Asia in risk

 

[walrus]

.....why?

Because the military industrial complex needs more money ?
