Nothing like telling the ruskies what we are sending to Ukraine. I wonder if Milley has an agreement with Putin that if anyone is planning to attack them that he will certainly notify them first. You know an agreement as he had with the Taliban. We are not dealing with the brightest of bulbs there in DC.
The question many people are asking.......what would Dear Leader have done ? tilted his head , for sure.
German navy chief resigns over controversial Ukraine comments Vice admiral Kay-Achim Schoenbach came under fire after saying Putin deserves ‘respect’ and Kyiv will never regain Crimea. https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2022...-resigns-after-controversial-ukraine-comments Schoenbach's comments, captured on video, caused anger in Ukraine and the German ambassador was summoned to receive its objections [Manohar Parrikar Institute for Defence Studies and Analyses/Handout via Reuters] 23 Jan 2022 The head of the German navy has resigned after coming under fire at home and abroad for saying that Ukraine would never regain the Crimean Peninsula, which was annexed by Russia in 2014. Speaking at an event in New Delhi, India, on Friday, Vice Admiral Kay-Achim Schoenbach also said it was important to have Russia on side against China, and suggested that Russian President Vladimir Putin deserved “respect”. “Is Russia really interested in having a tiny strip of Ukraine’s soil? No. Or to integrate it in the country? No, this is nonsense. Putin is probably putting pressure because he knows he can do it and he knows that it splits the European Union,” Schoenbach said. “What he (Putin) really wants is respect. And my God, giving someone respect is low cost, even no cost … It is easy to give him the respect he really demands – and probably also deserves,” he added, calling Russia an old and important country. The comments came at a sensitive time as Russia has amassed tens of thousands of troops on Ukraine’s borders. Russia denies it is planning to invade Ukraine. Diplomatic efforts are focused on preventing an escalation. Schoenbach’s comments, captured on video, caused anger in Ukraine and the German ambassador was summoned to receive its objections. Ukraine’s foreign ministry called on Germany to publicly reject the navy chief’s comments, saying in a statement that they could impair Western efforts to de-escalate the situation. “Ukraine is grateful to Germany for the support it has already provided since 2014, as well as for the diplomatic efforts to resolve the Russian-Ukrainian armed conflict. But Germany’s current statements are disappointing and run counter to that support and effort,” Ukraine’s foreign minister Dmytro Kuleba said separately in a tweet. German stand The comments also sparked consternation and a swift rebuke back in Berlin. By late Saturday, Schoenbach had presented his resignation, saying he wanted to prevent further damage to Germany and its military. “My rash remarks in India … are increasingly putting a strain on my office,” he said. “I consider this step (the resignation) necessary to avert further damage to the German navy, the German forces, and, in particular, the Federal Republic of Germany.” In a statement, the German navy said defence minister Christine Lambrecht had accepted Schoenbach’s resignation and appointed his deputy as interim naval chief. The German government has said it stands united with its NATO allies on the issue of Russia’s military threat to Ukraine, warning that Moscow will pay a high price if it makes any military moves against its neighbour.
While I agree we need to defend Ukrainian interests, fascistic hypocrite scum should keep their trap shut
No doubt The Baby Jesus Obama is calling Joe and giving him advice about Russia and whether it is a threat. Not exactly Obama's strong point. Not sure what his strong point is. Dancing with Ellen Degenerate or something. Not saying there are not or were not other foreign affairs issues too besides Russia but Obama liked to do the quick dismissals from up on Mount Olympus a bit too frequently and sweepingly. Ya know. As when he dismissed ISIS as the JV Team. But we are told that Obama picked Biden so that there would be some foreign affairs expertise on the ticket. What could go wrong there? Speaking of ISIS. Stay tuned. Russia and China are not the only ones who know that Biden is in the White House. MORE TO COME.
