At the core of the conflict is Ukraine’s desire to join the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), a post-World War II alliance formed to counter Soviet aggression. Ukraine’s recruitment threatens Russian interests in eastern Europe and jeopardizes access to a major naval base in the Black Sea, while strengthening an alliance adversarial to the Kremlin.
“For Vladimir Putin, that’s unacceptable. It’s a disaster, he cannot let it happen, he will not let it happen,” Carlson said. “But for the United States, and this is the main point here, there is no benefit either. The United States would gain precisely nothing for taking over Ukraine. Why would we want to do that?”
Carlson explained an overly aggressive response from the White House would drive Russia “deeper into the arms of China.”
In the president’s call with Putin on Tuesday, Biden committed to severe economic consequences complemented by enhanced military support for Ukraine if Russia followed through on its invasion. The United States has also to send U.S. troops to the region.
“If there’s one thing the Biden White House cares about, it’s secure borders, at least in Eastern Europe, where borders are not racist,” Carlson said. “It would be immoral to open those borders to the world and allow say, tens of thousands of unemployed Haitians to pour across. We can’t allow that, and in fact we will send American troops to Ukraine to prevent that. Open borders are only permitted in Texas, Arizona, and California and anywhere else Democratic voters might arrive.”
LoLz at the hysterics and insanity of conservatives defending their comrade's bid to overthrow democracies.
. But then they hate democracy. It's "authoritarian". more LoLz
...and look at the desperate whataboutism
Turner explained the strategic importance of Ukraine and the need to defend the country's territorial integrity, but Carlson suggested the territorial integrity of the U.S. and asked Turner if he had called for troops to be sent there.
The congressman said that everyone "that is on our side" had called for troops at the border but Carlson expressed skepticism. Turner tried to return to the topic of Ukraine and discussed the need provide Ukraine with lethal weapons.
"Hold on, why would we take Ukraine's side and not Russia's side? It's a sincere question, if you're looking at America's perspective," Carlson said.
...and what about your brethren and sistren's irrational fear of Russia and Putin, @Aryan ?
..any comment?
The new Russian intervention in rhe Ukraine has begun.
So, for months, NATO forces have been warning about a huge military build up of Russian forces on the Ukrainian border and speculated about an enlarged Russian invasion. Putin's Russia had already seized the eastern 20% of the country as well as the Crimean peninsula. Now, there are reports...
