The West needs to understand his imperialist aims. Putin's gives chilling warning to the West in early morning TV broadcast; meanwhile here in the states...

Daily Mail Online  "Russian President Vladimir Putin declared war on Ukraine and gave a chilling warning to its allies in the West in an early Thursday morning address in Moscow.

"Explosions were heard in Kiev, the Ukrainian capital, as Putin announced that Russia was launching a military attack on Ukraine.

" 'To anyone who would consider interfering from the outside - if you do, you will face consequences greater than any you have faced in history,’ he said on a television broadcast around 6am Moscow time.". . .

. . ." 'If indeed an operation is being prepared, I have only one thing to say from the bottom of my heart,' said Guterres. 

" 'President Putin, stop your troops from attacking Ukraine. Give peace a chance. Too many people have already died.' 

"Putin ignored the plea, going on TV to describe the invasion as a ‘special military occupation’ and said he wants to 'demilitarize' and 'de-Nazify', not occupy, the country.

"He told Ukrainian service members to 'lay down their arms and go home,’ saying Russia could not exist with a 'constant threat emanating from the territory of Ukraine' and clashes between Russian and Ukrainian solders was 'inevitable.’ ". . .

What time is Joe Biden press conference on Russia war in Ukraine? (statesman.com)

Bombs rain down on Kiev, America gets ready for Putin's wrath, and Hunter Biden enjoys his money - American Thinker  . . ."The West is talking about the whole thing as if it's an attack on NATO, but acting like this is only Ukraine's problem, not their own.  Putin has made threatening noises to Poland and the Baltics.  Finland has signaled that it now wants to apply for NATO membership.  It doesn't seem as though it's all going to end with Kiev.  And Putin was very, very specific about what would happen to the West if it tried to stop Russia from taking Ukraine: "Whoever tries to interfere with us, and even more so, to create threats for our country, for our people, should know that Russia's response will be immediate and will lead you to such consequences that you have never experienced in your history."  There may be more to this than just Ukraine.  High oil prices for America and electrical power grid attacks may be in the works for us.  And it may well be that Putin is talking nukes.

"What was at the root of Germany's opposition to NATO membership for Ukraine?

"That Ukraine was just too corrupt to be allowed into the alliance.". . .

 . .".So Hunter Biden's need to take baksheesh undercut U.S. security interests, left Ukraine a corruption-soaked mess unfit for NATO membership, and opened the gates wide for Russia to move in on Ukraine.  Ukraine was too corrupt to be a member of NATO, yet Western interests were knee-deep in perpetrating that corruption and reaping big dollars for themselves.". . .  (Emphasis mine, TD)

The Dangerous Reason Behind Putin’s Aggression Against Ukraine - The American Spectator | USA News and Politics  "Among collectivist narratives, none is more powerful than nationalism, and among imperial claims, none is more devastating to peaceful coexistence than the idea that a neighboring country belongs to an imperialist predator, based on a foundational myth. Until the West understands this, Russian President Vladimir Putin and whatever nationalist succeeds him will be a danger both to regional stability and to world peace.". . .
