Wow Putin, er I mean, Donald’s going to be pissed
OK, just based on Russia’s comments, I see what this is about.
It’s about mucking with Ukraine’s presidential elections in March (and muscling further into Ukraine’s territory in the process). Putin is stirring the pot again, strong-arming their influence.
The “Donbas situation” can go one of two ways from here. It will either escalate dramatically (likely), or quiet down to a whisper in the month or two before the election. Entirely manipulated by Putin, whichever way it goes. The situation is entirely his game.
The Kerch Strait itself, and the entire Azov Sea is supposed to be “international waters”. I’m not sure how being on those waters constitutes a violation on Ukraine’s part.
Russia parking an oil tanker under the bridge, blocking the only passage through is not honoring that status or the international agreement it was built on.

I believe she is done at the end of the year or so. She hasn’t been in the news since her resignation announcement several months ago. Finger-waving at the Russkies now is kinda fruitless Nicki!
Is she joking? The Russians know her boss isn’t going to do shit. It’s Russia folks! You don’t send them letters of condemnation. You don’t protest. It’s fucking Russia! Go there. It’s the arm pit of the world. Everyone a phony poser. The country is huge geographically but puny in all other dimensions. They don’t give a shit. It makes them feel big not to. Condemn all you want. Pitch a bitch. Its Russia! They’re all drunk laughing at you.
A good start would be to stop pissing off our allies that we’ll need to deal with the international nuisance that is Russia. Strong ties with the Western Democracies, the only countries we can trust, not shit holes like Saudi Arabia, Turkey and for God’s sake not Russia, is step one.

This is obviously FAKE NEWS. Why? Because we have a big, bad Republican in the White House and Russia would NEVER do anything like this in the face of his manly leadership.
She’s still there?
Did Nikki check with the boss first? Or did she speak up knowing that if she asked for permission to speak out she’d never get it?
That’s lovely, Nikki, but pretty sure president idiot is delivering a very different message on his secret Putin phone.
He could have assured her that any news of Russia attacking Ukrainian assets was fake, because Russia only dared attack Ukraine when America was under Obama and perceived as weak. With Trumpp in the WH, Putin’s days of stepping out of bounds are over. MAGA.
Russia must “immediately cease its unlawful conduct” … or, they could drop a few hundred million on a some nice Trump properties … whichever …

The moral weight you carry Ms Haley can only be measured in micrograms.
aren’t you mad about the alsace-lorraine? I sure am
I’m mixed about Alsace and Lorraine. They seem happy. But don’t get me started on Danzig and the Sudetenland. (I have a cousin with an ex-husband who had a title not that far from the polish border, so that kind of thing comes up.)

Time for the conservative extremists to issue their call to war and begin their rant on the War on Christmas.
