Putin has to be unnerved by our intelligence. He’s totally lost the element of surprise. He is stalling an invasion both because he’s recalibrating the cost of invasion and because he doesn’t want US callouts about impending war to be right. Putin is weak.


The intel is coming from his own military and national security apparatus, they are leaking intel because they feel it is unwise for Putin to try and cross a red line that will likely get them into a war that could seriously damage Russia.


Right. War mongers have Putin’s ear and their suggestions mingle with his own desire to be a strong leader of an empire. However, Russia’s more prudent minds are urging caution: a miscalculated attempt at bravado could mean revealing a weak hand.

If this was a story, Putin would suddenly suffer from Novichok poisoning.

Compared to Trump's fawning over Putin and attempts to dismantle NATO and any unity against expansionist Russia, Biden is a welcome contrast.

Tell me you are a foreign agent working for Russia without saying you are a foreign agent working for Russia.



I see we have reached the point where criticizing the current president means you are a Russian agent.

No, dear. There are millions of us who don't approve of anything he has done and we agree with pp. We are not Russian agents any more than you are a child predator.


No, dear. It's not just the over-the-top anti-American pro-Russian criticism, it's that you are also using awkward vocabulary, syntax and odd word choices more fitting of a non-native English speaker.

Obama was a very good President. Only President to be elected twice with more than 51% of the vote since Eisenhower.

He is completely unqualified for the job.


You're completely clueless. He has multiple relevant degrees, is recognized in the field, and is far more qualified for the job than anyone you know.
Really, your ONLY basis for "he's unqualified" comes down to your own sheer stupidity on things like his choice in footwear.

You are the one who is completely unqualified to even comment here. Just put your head down, close your browser, and turn your computer off.

He has less than ten years of relevant experience. He is unqualified and was hired based on his alternative lifestyle.

You have no clue. Putin has never even used or seen Internet!
