What would it mean to manufacturing if Finland and Sweden joined NATO?

Your replies are like you are talking to and answering yourself and focusing on attacking the person you quote. It reads a bit like two against one.

For whatever reason (I have a suspicion why) you have a blind spot. Putin may be an asshole, but the situation is alike to taking a dog for a walk in the big cat territory, and then blaming the cat for the dog being eaten.

We had an easy way to prevent the military phase of the conflict from happening - Biden just needed to say that Ukraine will not be joining NATO on his watch. This wouldn't even be a practical sacrifice of any kind, considering Ukraine had no path to NATO given its territorial disputes. Naturally proponents of the "free world" will start screaming about self-determination, and "open door policy" and other nonsense. I would like to preemptively respond to that with the following :

Not only there is a precedent for NATO to decide who they will offer membership to strictly on the political grounds, but also there is a precedent of us orchestrating a membership over the protest of other NATO members.

I'm pro USA, fuck everybody else, and I've proven that by putting my ass in the line of fire.

Again, you seem adamant about getting the US involved in this war that has nothing to do with the US. I, and we, have no business messing about in what is going on over there. We are aiding an abetting a country who is up against a a country who has nukes pointed in every direction.

If you're so committed, hop on a plane and go to UKR and play Rambo. Just leave the rest of the USA out of it. I can provide names and contact info of 4 different contractors that are hiring anyone who will fight. Otherwise you're just running your suck.

I absolutely agree, there WAS a possible avenue to take the wind out of Putin's sail.
Not in February of 2022, not in Dec of 2021, rather sometime in fall of 2021.
Some clear political mumbo-jumbo as to NATO staying clear of Ukraine's acceptance on the grounds of X, Y and Z could perhaps put a cap on the fuse for a while until
a different solution presented itself.
In addition, there is absolutely no possible way at this time - regardless of all other factors - for Ukraine's acceptance, simply because of it's existing territorial disputes.
Something claiming such issues could have been used that to borrow time.
Instead, they ( US and NATO, NATO by way of US, US by way of NATO or whatever ... ) choose the brute force, referring to the 1997 summit and the NATO agreements that membership
will never be coerced, nor will it ever allow outside influence to determine the acceptance.

But to say something this stupid:

Naturally proponents of the "free world" will start screaming about self-determination, and "open door policy" and other nonsense.

Which basically suggest that She, who is about to be fucked by the bigger MAN must lay down and spread or else!

From NATO-RF agreement, Paris 1997:

Section I details the principles on which the NATO - Russia partnership will be based. These include commitments to norms of international behaviour as reflected in the UN Charter and OSCE documents, as well as more explicit commitments such as respecting states' sovereignty, independence and right to choose the means to ensure their security, and the peaceful settlement of disputes. Both sides commit themselves to strengthening the OSCE with the aim of creating a common space of security and stability in Europe.

IOW, Russia has signed the document back in 1997 by Yeltsin, and then in 2002 Vladimir has re-affirmed Russia's commitment to the Paris agreement by signing onto the NRC.
Basically committing themselves to remain neutral in the decision of each non member state as to how to best proceed with their own defense in the future.

Unfortunately, the fact is that we got involved in this situation back in 1994.
In fact, if you want to stay to the strictest definition, there are only 4 countries that should be involved:
Russia
Ukraine
United States of America
United Kingdom of Great Bitain and Northern Ireland

You managed to make me go, Huh? Read it multiple times and only come up with why, only those four, and why northern Ireland. And what happened in 1994 re Ukraine?

 

[Big B]

Today I was thinking about this place called Alaska. You know, the place where Sarah Palin lives and can see Russia from her porch. I wonder if Putin has ever considered invading Alaska. It's a lot closer to Russia than it is to the continental 48 so strategically it could possibly be easy pickings for him.

As long as he doesn't try to invade the lower 48. Well unless it's California. Some folks would probably be fine with losing California. And don't get me started on those eastern liberals. But he'd never dream of taking on Texas, the place that can't even figure out how to keep the power on in a storm.

What ever happened to the USA?

Dee, the Budapest Agreement of 1994 had 4 signers:
Russian Federation
Ukraine
United States of America
United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland

Basically, if one wants to stick to the absolute strictest definitions in that Article, then those 3 nations have an obligation to join Ukraine in it's defense.
Question is what do you do if Ukraine needs defense from any one of those 3?
From my perspective, the Russian Federation walked all over Section 3 in 2012 with it's customs embargo against Ukraine, then did the same to Section 2 in 2014 with
the annexation of Crimea.
From where I stand, anything Ukraine has done against Russia after that, said agreement could be used in its defense.
Similarly, any actions by the US and the UK on the side of Ukraine against the offender could also be used as a justifiable and contractual intervention.
( to the likes of Crickets and Scotts of PM, I did say "could" and not "should"

Duh, thanks for the reminder, not sure how I messed up that date...I should not post on Mother's Day.

Russia left california right before gold was discovered. They sold out the settlement for $30,000 to the man who discovered gold. So they no longer have rights to California. Unless the fact he never paid the note means they do still have ownership.

So you continue to parrot the Kremlins weak jsutification for invading a sovereign nation and murdering innocent people

Biden merely had to appease Putin to prevent a war

please show historical precedent where that has succeded

hint: you won't find them


you excuse Putin and blame Biden

blind spot?

You are pro Russia from the get go, no matter your history

You claim to be pro USA, but excuse Russia at every turn

Why is that?

This whole thing will end when Russia turns around and goes home

You fought for the USA, what in the Civil War?

Seriously

If you fought for the USA in the last 75 years, you went to someone else's country doing someone else's business.

 

[gustafson]

....Just like the UK Gov has done in the last 2 years then, with their "Behavioral Insights Team" (BIT "Nudge" Unit).
Where they (Gov) "declared war" on the population, trying to frighten them to death....They (Gov) demanding the "scientists" to be more frightening to generate compliance....while themselves ignoring "their own made up $cience and rules"....

"will end...when Russia goes home...." Certainly hope sooner than later because, today I think, Joey gives something like $33 Billion to Zelensky. $33 Billion! Sure could fix a whole bunch of stuff in Baltimore for that much money.

No argument. Historical figures like that are always more complicated than a simple hero designation. I'm interested that nobody cares about the real contribution he made during ww2.

I think he had another wife in germany as well.

The positive side of Lindbergh--pilot, conservationist, engineer and such mean nothing. As 'gustafson' says 'a piece of human garbage'. That Ryan airplane needs to be taken out and burned.

No doubt

do you have a point?

Are you arguing that Putin should be allowed to invade any country he wishes and do whatever he wants?

If so, what do you suppose the end result of that would be?

And what would the bill for that come to?

I too, would love not to spend that money, but you really need to come up with alternatives that do not involve allowing tanks to roll through half of Europe
