Putin Talks Mean to EU/NATO

As long as there are no mean tweets, it’s all good.
[Legal Insurrection] The Roll back demanded by Russia would leave Poland, Baltic states without NATO protection.

Amid massive Russian military deployment on the border with Ukraine, President Vladimir Putin has demanded a NATO roll back in East Europe.

On Friday, Moscow published a list of demands addressed to the United States and the NATO that calls for an "end to NATO military activity in eastern Europe, including Ukraine, the Caucasus and Central Asia" and "no expansion of NATO membership, particularly to Ukraine," Germany’s DW News reported citing the Kremlin document.

#4  Some of the Euros have thrown off the training wheels and Wokery too. Interestingly, it's the Danes leading the way. Sweden and France may follow...

Why Have Danes Turned Against Immigration?

"In the 1960s and 1970s Denmark recruited “guest workers”; refugees from Vietnam and Iran came in the 1970s and 1980s. The welcome waned in the 1990s with the arrival of refugees from the war in what had been Yugoslavia.

"The nationalist Danish People’s Party (df), founded in 1995, agitated to shut the door on them. In 2001 it backed a conservative-liberal government, which devised today’s two-pronged strategy of repelling would-be migrants and remoulding those who settle.

"Its policies included lengthening immigrants’ wait for permanent residency from three years to seven and ending schools’ obligation to teach in pupils’ mother tongues. To bolster Danishness it introduced “canons” of culture, history and democracy into the school curriculum. Without such steps 'it would have been really catastrophic', says Peter Skaarup, the df’s parliamentary leader. In Sweden, such sentiments are spreading; in Denmark they are now conventional wisdom...."

#1  An "end to NATO military activity in eastern Europe, including Ukraine, the Caucasus and Central Asia"

Why is it in our interest to f--k around in Ukraine? In Azerbaijan or Armenia?

In Kazakhstan, Tadjikistan, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, Turkmenistan, Bumfukystan?

Can anyone --hey ShittyPants, this means you too -- anyone say with any coherence what in G-S's name is tge Anerican vital interest in any of these wretched pseudo-republics?

Can anyone say why ShittyPants's son should fight and die in Ust-Pizdusk?
