Are you concerned that this could expand beyond Ukraine?
Quote
We have to be very clear headed about what the limits are....

I would say Germany's government certainly is considering it could expand outside of Ukraine since Germany just added 100 billion euros to next years defense budget, and considering history I would say rightfully so!

Is it possible you are now sharing the same fears Hitler had in regards to Russia, minus the Red Terror and the Bolshevik Revolution of course? What you people are dealing with is still mild considering what Hitler had to deal with, and you cannot be anywhere near as effective at dealing with it because you are afraid of nukes and nuclear wars, a Western invention of course. Nicely done as usual!

Reminder: Europe never fell to Bolshevism and only one person in all of history is responsible for that fact! Hint: He's the person all Westerners love to hate above all others!

We all know that. The bullying efforts of President Putin are efforts, because he is afraid of a democracy at his doorstep, which Ukraine proposes to the Russian people,” says Speaker Pelosi.


Will Pelosi ever 'get real'?

How many times has Putin been elected?
In all, three individuals have served four presidencies spanning six full terms. In May 2012, Vladimir Putin became the fourth president; he was re-elected in March 2018 and inaugurated in May to a six-year term.
