      Those who cheered as J-6 American prisoners were locked in solitary for 18 months without trial, now suddenly fight tooth and nail for foreign terrorists’ "due process". — Buck Sexton

          Here's a video by a Russian woman explaining why Russian men volunteer to die in Ukraine.

          Link to video

          If I was a Russian I'd probably be fighting in Ukraine too.

              Not surprised at what she presented.
              I have no illusion regarding Russia's prosperity or the lack thereof.

              I like the painting or wallpaper on her wall and/or closet door in her background.

                Listen, Obama did not do a thing when Putin took the Crimea. Biden had three years to push Putin out of Ukraine or cut a deal and he didn't.

                What wasn't of paramount importance, suddenly is. Actually, ending the war NOW is in America's best interests.

                Again, who gives a shit about the lace around the doily? Does Zelensky cut a deal or watch his country be absorbed by Russia?

                    I half agree with you, but a few points:

                    • Obama led the effort to put sanctions on Russia (he convinced Merkel, who helped convince the rest of Europe), which essentially stopped Russia from going beyond Crimea into Donbas. Nonetheless, I agree the response was relatively weak.
                    • As @Renauda points out, we are looking like we just want profit for our investment, it's scummy. And the rare earth metals there are not rare at all, btw. Nonetheless, either we need to man up and force Russia out or we need to just cut and run and let Russia take Ukraine, then Moldova and Belarus. This wishy-washy appeasement crap would make Reagan roll in his grave.

                      Russia actually took Belarus long ago. At least twenty years ago, probably even longer. It’s just that no one noticed. It is a sovereign country in name only, just how Putin likes it.

                            I would like more details about that. The abuses of the asylum system are well known, and that needed to be cracked down on. I wonder if this is a first step to looking more critically at each of the asylees. This order is not targeted at Ukrainians. It applies much more broadly.

                            Education is extremely important.

                              The obvious abuses are economic refugees, mostly from Latin America, claiming political asylum.

                              Seems like the refugees from the war in Ukraine is the type of situation that asylum laws were created for.

                                  Which is why I don't expect these people to actually be deported. I suspect this reporting is motivated rhetoric, about a broad ruling that happens to include Ukrainian refugees in a set of people who will be looked at to determine their legitimacy as asylees.

                                    I am confident Canada will welcome all Ukrainians who arrive at our border seeking refuge from not only Putin’s jackboot but now, the perfidy of the Trump regime as well.

                                          The obvious abuses are economic refugees, mostly from Latin America, claiming political asylum.

                                          Seems like the refugees from the war in Ukraine is the type of situation that asylum laws were created for.

                                          Which is why I don't expect these people to actually be deported. I suspect this reporting is motivated rhetoric, about a broad ruling that happens to include Ukrainian refugees in a set of people who will be looked at to determine their legitimacy as asylees.
