NATO counties can send aid... however, if a NATO country gets involved -- VAHokie89 04/08/2022 4:48PM
After the latest attack on civilians in Ukraine, I see lots of tweets -- HokieSignGuy 04/08/2022 09:12AM
I believe NATO and our leadership has been handling the Ukrainian crisis -- kennedyvt 04/08/2022 1:06PM
WWIII + nuclear weapons. -- Atlee Hokie 04/08/2022 11:32AM
It is horrible. It is war. How do you think all the military equipment -- Concord Dan 04/08/2022 11:10AM
Ukraine is Russian. Was never in nato. But if -- fordham 04/08/2022 10:27AM
Iāve been to Ukraine and Russia -- ColoradoHokie 04/09/2022 10:57PM
Ukraine is not Russian ** -- VAHokie89 04/08/2022 4:48PM
Ukraine is not Russian and never has been. -- Brewing_Hokie 04/08/2022 10:40AM
Ukraine can definitely win it. ** -- NokieHokie 04/08/2022 10:30AM
ā¦this county's had rebels for the last fifty years. it's in their blood, ** -- chumley 04/08/2022 11:07AM
Not if they plan to keep eating food or drinking water -- fordham 04/08/2022 10:38AM
Winning would have been giving in to an invader that obviously cares so -- reestuart 04/08/2022 11:11AM
LOL! ** -- NokieHokie 04/08/2022 11:13AM
You do realize they are getting supported with all of that, right? ** -- NokieHokie 04/08/2022 10:41AM
No matter who "wins," they've lost -- EDGEMAN 04/08/2022 10:36AM
That is very true. ** -- NokieHokie 04/08/2022 10:37AM
For some odd reason, I don't see the Russians paying to rebuild those areas ** -- EDGEMAN 04/08/2022 10:39AM
Depends on what their goal is -- Vienna_Hokie 04/08/2022 11:18AM
Only if they seize the land, maybe... ** -- NokieHokie 04/08/2022 10:40AM
Not sure they'll have the money to rebuild, once they see the bill for... -- EDGEMAN 04/08/2022 10:42AM
Oh well, them's the breaks... ** -- NokieHokie 04/08/2022 10:45AM
The longer this goes the more likely Ukraine is to win IMO as of now ** -- Brewing_Hokie 04/08/2022 10:35AM
Agreed. ** -- NokieHokie 04/08/2022 10:36AM
Why do you keep saying that? It couldn't be further from the truth. -- reestuart 04/08/2022 10:29AM
Go back to the German invasion in WW2... -- Chris Coleman
04/08/2022 11:19AM
It was the case in the Baltics as well -- VAHokie89 04/08/2022 11:46AM
Putin is borrowing from the Hitler playbook about invading neighboring -- kennedyvt 04/08/2022 12:59PM
Germany/Hitler did prioritize united "German" populations -- VAHokie89 04/08/2022 3:31PM
Mexico could reclaim California :) ** -- Chris Coleman
04/08/2022 11:48AM
But do they want it? ** -- EDGEMAN 04/08/2022 6:21PM
Yep, but then they paid a huge price fighting nazi Germany. -- reestuart 04/08/2022 11:26AM
When did we start worrying about truth when calling pol foes Nazi's? -- Vienna_Hokie 04/08/2022 2:52PM
And Zelensky is Jewish... ** -- NokieHokie 04/08/2022 11:59AM
Well, aside from those couple of facts... ** -- reestuart 04/08/2022 12:01PM
Yeah. Poor folks were always been stuck between a rock and a hard place. -- Chris Coleman
04/08/2022 11:35AM
That's part of the problem with Ukraine..it's a region -- Vienna_Hokie 04/08/2022 10:38AM
No it wasn't. That is too simplistic -- VAHokie89 04/08/2022 4:53PM
Yeah, but it's also not the same "nation" trying to invade. Ukraine was -- reestuart 04/08/2022 10:46AM
It was Russian territory not many years ago ** -- fordham 04/08/2022 10:36AM
Parts of Russia was Polish territory, Swedish territory, Ottoman territory -- VAHokie89 04/08/2022 4:54PM
Please stop conflating Russia and USSR. They are not the same entity. ** -- HOHKIE 04/08/2022 3:38PM
More than 30 years ago. That's many years. You may as well say Poland -- reestuart 04/08/2022 10:38AM
So the Middle East is settled. As the Russia/Japan island dispute. ** -- Concord Dan 04/08/2022 11:24AM
I'm not sure what you mean. ** -- reestuart 04/08/2022 11:25AM
30 years ago is not that long ago -- fordham 04/08/2022 12:03PM

NATO has no right to act... ** -- NokieHokie 04/08/2022 10:24AM
Its not in NATO's charter. NATO was set up to protect the group, not... -- EDGEMAN 04/08/2022 10:15AM
What do you mean, the UN condemned it and sent a strongly worded letter ** -- Vienna_Hokie 04/08/2022 10:19AM
Did you read my whole question? ** -- HokieSignGuy 04/08/2022 10:18AM
My point is that it isn't NATO's job. It's the UN's job, should they... -- EDGEMAN 04/08/2022 10:20AM
Yes, and I stated it as such. -- HokieSignGuy 04/08/2022 10:24AM
If the Russians invaded a NATO country, then yes. -- EDGEMAN 04/08/2022 10:33AM
No. If a NATO country is attacked, everyone defends. ** -- NokieHokie 04/08/2022 10:31AM
My take... -- Vienna_Hokie 04/08/2022 09:45AM
The worst "why aren't they" is from the Warhawk psychopath media members -- NokieHokie 04/08/2022 10:29AM
Correct, who will be the last ones in line to do anything themselves ** -- Vienna_Hokie 04/08/2022 10:33AM
Which doesn't matter. There shouldn't be a line in the first place... ** -- NokieHokie 04/08/2022 10:35AM
Agree, but it's more frustrating when those screaming the loudest -- Vienna_Hokie 04/08/2022 10:41AM
Totally agree on that point. The ruling class always has bone spurs when it -- NokieHokie 04/08/2022 10:42AM
The longer the West waits the worse it will be in the end. -- capitals1 04/08/2022 09:39AM
What is the west supposed to do? Ukraine is Russian territory. -- fordham 04/08/2022 10:32AM
Perhaps the Tatars should claim Crimea back. Perhaps the Bashkirs, Daghesta -- VAHokie89 04/08/2022 4:59PM
Ukraine is not going back to Russia. Russia is invading a sovereign nation -- VAHokie89 04/08/2022 4:55PM
This couldn't be more misinformed if you tried. ** -- GoobyPls 04/08/2022 4:02PM
Wow -- Vippie1 04/08/2022 12:10PM
Ukraine is not Russian territory. It was Soviet Union territory. -- Atlee Hokie 04/08/2022 11:42AM
^^^that^^^ sadly, too... š¢ā¦ļøš¢ ** -- bourbonstreet 04/08/2022 5:18PM
Iām not convinced about that. I think NATO would act directly according to -- HokieSignGuy 04/08/2022 09:55AM
What if the US and Nato got directly involved. -- Atlee Hokie 04/08/2022 11:44AM
Certainly, nothing good. And nobody wants that. ** -- HokieSignGuy 04/08/2022 12:08PM
I think the fundamental problem is a fear of irreversible escalation -- Tafkam Hokie 04/08/2022 10:19AM
It certainly does feel like NATO is doing nothingā¦ but in fact, they are -- HokieSignGuy 04/08/2022 10:28AM
Agree NATO is doing quite a bit, but the optics of NATO's involvement -- Tafkam Hokie 04/08/2022 10:38AM
And don't forget, that is a very carefully crafted optic -- Vienna_Hokie 04/08/2022 11:10AM
What are the half truths and outright lies. ** -- Atlee Hokie 04/08/2022 11:46AM
Starting with Snake Island, that was 95% a lie -- Vienna_Hokie 04/08/2022 12:02PM
Yeah, everyone does that. And no, NATO is not going to be directly involved ** -- NokieHokie 04/08/2022 12:03PM
Hope you're right, but there is a lot of money to be made -- Vienna_Hokie 04/08/2022 12:07PM
In that case, it would cost humanity. ** -- NokieHokie 04/08/2022 12:08PM
Since the beginning of time, the many have died to enrich the few -- Vienna_Hokie 04/08/2022 12:22PM
Correct! ** -- NokieHokie 04/08/2022 10:40AM
This! ** -- NokieHokie 04/08/2022 10:32AM
