President Biden is a great president. He is so much secure in his leadership people love to pick on the guy.

Ukraine has been here before to the point where Yanyakovych disarmed the naitonal military and plugged in militia units into local cities and towns. The oppression was horrible and I am sure many in Ukraine are feeling it already.

The country's leadership needs to be prepared for such an uprising. Russia in Ukraine will not go over well. Putin is wrong, but, it is his politics that continues the assault. Most likely after the Olympic games in China whereby Russia has a loyalty seat.

Situated less than an hour's drive from the Ukrainian-Russian border, and with thousands of Russian troops currently positioned just over the border, many commentators including Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky have warned of the possible threat to the majority Russian-speaking city of Kharkiv....
