President Biden did not seek or cause this upcoming (I hope not) war.
This is in sharp contrast to Bush who fucked up everything, to avenge Daddy.
This President has no gain here pushing his agenda. except the security of America and her allies.
I support Joe Biden and America!

So no war for us.

(17,757 posts)It is going to be really interesting to see how the EU reacts. Putin and I are betting on appeasement.
This has got to be Europe's problem first because, even if we wanted to get between Putin and Ukraine, there is a lot of water and a lot of Europe between us and Ukraine. Biden has made a good call.

(3,289 posts)Do the schools even teach the principle of appeasement anymore?
Born in 55, our schools did, starting in 6th grade.
WW2 was still recent history. We have failed policies and misadventures since.
Maybe if schools taught history as it really was..........

(8,208 posts)And they put it all in writing, & published it on their website for the whole world to see. Just like today's GOP is, as I've seen many folks say, "saying the quiet part out loud." Many folks seem to think that's a new development. It's not. The difference is, back then our media failed to report on it, so few people knew they were saying the quiet part out loud.
I will never forgive our media for that...
