Scholz: 'very worried' about situation regarding Ukraine

"Hey Putin, could you pretty please leave the poor Ukranians alone because it wouldn't be very neighborly of you to invade them. I know you know that so let's just leave them alone ok? What? You want NATO to leave? Well ok, you drive a hard bargin, I'll have the generals just pull out next month ok? "

Let's go Brandon...

you got it. the threat of sanctions sends a clear messagw, we will not do anything to stop the invasion of Ukraine

Russians are covered, part of Ukraine wants re-integration with Russia. They will take that part anyway.

Im glad Scholz is worried. He should be. He and his predecessors have landed Germany and to an extent the EU in this dangerously vulnerable situation.
Successive German governments have implemented a National Energy policy which has for years created and extended an imprudent strategic dependency on Russian Natural Gas and even faced down warnings from US and many other EU countries of its dangers. However PC the migration from nuclear may have appeared, its substitution with Russian NG has created a dangerous threat to Europe and Germany.
It appears the lessons of history on Russian expansionism and aggression, whether Czarist or Stalinist have not been learned, even by the German electorate who have naively supported and encouraged this dangerous policy. Acting surprised and worried at the re-emergence of an autocratic Russian regime using energy leverage to serve an aggressive and expansionary agenda, is a bit rich.
If this runs the wrong way and Putin is on a mission to annex the Ukraine there will be serious economic consequences and disruption not just for Russia but for the EU and global markets.

No, it doesn't work that way. Texas wants to leave the US doesn't mean they will. What that part of Ukraine wants has nothing to do with their geographical location and current realities of their existence. If every group who wants to leave a country gets their way then the world will have a million countries.

Putin is simply an aggressor, no matter how anybody puts it. How is it his business to delve into another nation's issues and decide who goes where? That thing he is looking for he will find it.

However, he should wait after I get my Rissian wife then he can continue his madness.

Why is the US pressing Russia with the NATO arsenal near its borders? The US is many thousand miles away from Russia, what does it want? Is the US the police of the world?
If it was, it is not anymore, it is tumbling. How many countries respected the US instructions for diplomatic boycott of Beijing Winter Olympics?
This Joe Biden is even worse than Donald Trump, nobody thought that would be possible but it was indeed.

"Sky-high European demand drove U.S. liquefied natural gas (LNG) exports to a record in December, Refinitiv data showed, with winter supply worries set to sustain orders for the fuel." - Reuters

In the end this all about money and securing markets.

Thanks for verifying the obvious!
