It's always about the oil, even if the war excuse was labeled as the threat of WMD's by the Bush administration

Wrong Iraq war, Brent. WMD were not an issue in the Kuwait invasion.

NATO Expansion: What Gorbachev Heard | National Security Archive

Western leaders gave multiple assurances against NATO expansion to Gorbachev in 1990-1991 according to declassified American, Russian, British, Germans documents

Of course I wasn’t there to call Gorby a liar. the declassified documents from 2017 show that Baker repeated the statement many times in front Groby and witnesses.

But two things can be true

Baker could’ve said it, but that doesn’t mean that Putin has the right to invade Ukraine and that we cannot expand NATO now which I am all in favor of.

All that matters is that Putin thinks it was said

My point is that it should not matter at all what Putin believes - or more accurately - claims to believe. Ukraine was an independent state for thirty years and has the right of self-determination. It is in the interests of the West to insure Putin understands that above all things. Anything less is nothing but appeasement.

Regrettably, I have a vision of Trump boasting in Truth Social about achieving "Peace in our time!!"

We didn’t take out Saddam in the Kuwait battle.

Later, yes GW did use WMD as a reason.

Here you go Brent... to wipe the brown off that nose of yours. Hell, your whole face, as far up his bum as you seem to have your nose buried. And I suggest you buy in bulk; you'll need them.

Have you ever thought about getting some psychological help?
You really seem to have some deep rooted issues.

Just see on the news tonight Zelenskyy wants to meet with Putin personally Thursday in Turkey. In order to facilitate that he wants a cease fire beginning tomorrow.

They are both 5’7” tall and probably weigh a buck sixty. Put them in a ring with no rules and see who wins. My money is on Z, although P was KGB. Z is younger and probably more angry.

Those kind of actions usually result in sanctions because the Proof is usually too hard to produce or the sources and methods are not worth airing.

So it goes down as an additional check mark in the future military action column. Or a similar covert action on a Russian target.

Unlike “Let’s go Brandon”. A self inflicted joke that worked both ways
