The US won’t enter the war on behalf of a non-NATO country. Putin threatened the US against helping Ukraine but still hasn’t made good on his threat. What’s new?

Why should the US jump in the middle of a war that Russia waged on a non-NATO country? If Russia wants war with the US, they know how to send a signal. Putin issued threats against NATO countries supplying Ukraine with weapons which didn’t deter them. They’re still giving Ukraine weapons and Putin still hasn’t done shit but make more empty threats.
Did Afghanistan invade a NATO country bfor d US nd nato went dere,did Ghaddafi threaten any NATO country bfor d libya was invaded nd Ghaddafi killed,did Syria threaten any NATO country bfor NATO went dere,bfor Russia intervene on behalf of syria nd pushed back NATO?soo why are dey changing position now,saying Ukraine is nt a NATO country?Dey are afraid of collecting wotowoto. Usa is trying to avenge wat Russia did dem in syria.Nato went dere to remove d government in power,dey were almost succeeding until Russia sent in troops to fight on behalf of d syrian government.Nato was defeated.Dey are trying to take revenge by arming d Ukrainians,but dat will nt stop Russia frm taking territories.dat is a sure bet.

Inchoate headline. Another one bites the dust. Their Applications to join NATO truncated on arrival by Turkey et al. Ukraine's subverted on arrival. NATO ever considering the Applications will precipitate the shortest global war. These countries are not competent to join NATO in essence.

you they mind d clown,Russia economy is like number 11 in d world ,at least 8 of d top 10 are nato country and allies.
Russia economy is in Spain level

Lol, judging economy based on GDP is the most flawed metric out there. Even the greatest economists will tell you that.

Nigeria has the biggest GDP based economy in Africa but it’s one of the poorest countries on the continent. The US has the biggest economy in the world but its economy isn’t as healthy as China and Russia’s and might enter depression next year.

Russia and Germany are the only true big boys in Europe - the rest just look big based on inflated GDP numbers. And Russia is the richest country in the world in terms of resources.

Putin doesn't care much of those two, he will have his nuke facings them in sec if NATO decides to ever attack through these countries, UKRAINE case is different both strategically and culturally, no NATO for them ever. Finland and Sweden doesn't make much difference to NATO compare to Ukraine or Georgia, they re the compensation for failure in Ukraine.

USA spent 20billion dollars in Afghanistan,20 years of war,wit support frm different allies,did dey achieve deir objectives? despite d use of chemical weapons nd artilleries,dey spend billions in vietnam,3years of war, did dey achieve deir objectives? Russia will definitely liberate d donbass nd luhansk region.Ukraine nva push dem away frm to any border.Russia withdrew soldier's frm dose areas into d defensive lines in donetsk to fortify dier positions deir,making it easy for Ukrainian soldier's to reclaim d place,jst like it happened wen dey left kiev.If d Ukrainian were dat super counter effective,why av dey nt taken kherson,Crimea,melitopol,Mariupol etc.Dis cities av successful fallen under Russian control,wen dey do,i will bliv dey are really on a counter offensive.As of nw all we c on d news are sensationalism jst to massage some pples ego,nd giv some sense of hope to d Ukrainians,wu are definitely on d loosing side.90%of luhansk is under Russia as we speak,same as luhansk.Russia has taken territories d size of Uk,yet Ukraine is winning.Even if oda's do,i refuse to b fooled.

Bro, the US spent over $3trillion in Aghanistan not $20billion and still took a big L.

Russia’s military budget is $65billion. But the US and NATO countries have spent almost $10billion on Ukraine in 3months, with almost $70billion budgeted and they’re gonna take another L in Ukraine, lol.

Fast Stop. Russia invaded Ukraine making this war about Russia and Ukraine. The US and NATO has been clear since the beginning by saying it won’t join the war or send troops to fight but they would provide weapons and aid to Ukraine. Russia invaded Ukraine but you guys insist on blaming everyone except Russia. None of this would be happening now if Russia wouldn’t have invaded Ukraine. Say what you will about the US and NATO but none of them started the fire by invading Ukraine. Putin invaded Ukraine and now, Georgia is fearing a Russian invasion.

Did you read the attached, or you just want to believe in your personal thoughts/sentiments?
If the latter is the case, by all means, have at it

Dude, I don’t read trash western propaganda. They just project their thoughts on the guy and his plans.

Find me a direct quote from Putin. All his speeches leading up to the invasion, invasion speech and weekly wartime speeches are on YouTube with translations and he never said that crap.

No one knows what that man and Russians are thinking and their plans.

Winston Churchill said it best when he said: “Russia is a riddle wrapped in an enigma”. You never know what they’re thinking unless they say it and even when they say it - there’s always a lot of misdirections and feints. You only go with what Russians do. That’s why they’re excellent poets, mathematicians and physicists.

Everything you read on MSM is just propaganda until you see Russian doing it. That’s why NATO is scared of Russia.

Afghanistan took a bigger L than the US because once we left, the whole country of Afghanistan became the Taliban’s bitch. How’s that working for them now? Afghanistan can’t compare to Ukraine. The US trained Afghanis for years and supplied them with weapons. When the US left, the Afghanis dropped the weapons and ran like cowards. Ukraine took up their own arms before receiving backup and they still refuse to back down and become Russia’s bitch.
The US and Ls are like Siamese twins? But your President Buhari is begging the same US for help with train bandits and hostages. You can’t criticize the US when your own country doesn’t have competent special forces to handle a simple hostage situation.

First class ignorance.Russia is d biggest country in d world! more Dan 3 times bigger Dan china,how can such b a province in china? some pple sha!

The ignorance on display here is yours.

Russia's economy is smaller than Italy's (despite russia being 57 times bigger than Italy in land mass).

The Russian economy is 1/8 the size of china's.

Russia is largely has an extractive industry with very limited capacity to produce consumer goods. If China doesnt show mercy on russia, the country will flounder. The west has also started phases out Russian oil and gas from their value chain...this is by far Russias moat significant export and they need a big uptaker to replace the west.

China is Russia's lifeline to survive western sanctions which is why the G7 recently warned China to not undermine russia's sanction (https://www.google.com/amp/s/tass.com/world/1451391/amp). I quoted Tass because some russian bots on NL will quote it as propaganda...but this is russian gov official news outlet.

In any relationship between china ans russia, russia will have to bow to china and trust the chinese to take advantage of it

If they truly know Russia and Russians, they will know why their master is so afraid of them.

Why do you think the Azovs are surrendering today? Is it due to the call from Pentagon? Or Russia invoking the UN article to investigate the bio labs?
From Azov today " In order to save lives, the entire Mariupol garrison is complying with the approved decision of the high military command and hopes for the support of the Ukrainian people."
