In my past was a pretty good poker player and seemed to size up pretty well a bluff. I do not think Putin is bluffing....

I will grant the west and NATO is tipping their hand a little to much. It may be more useful to have China scared of being down wind....

NATO needs to play a better game. Granted it is herding cats keeping all the member on one page. But Putin is a bully and only fears another bully!

Don't kid yourself. NATO is a bully and doesn't want to get into a non NATO hot war with another strong bully.

I think that may have been part of his success against the Soviets. They probably believed he was crazy enough to launch nukes against them.

Yeh, it's chock full of famous bullies like Canada, Denmark, France, Holland, Iceland, Luxembourg, and Norway with Sweden knocking on the door. Jeez.

Again, if Russia were to become a good neighbor. NATO would relatively soon thereafter cease to exist.

France, the empire whose pastry chef emperor almost "united" Europe?

Are Luxemborg or the isolated ice island really countries? Although the Icelanders are Vikings and Vikings are badass. The Swedes, Norwegians and Danes are also Vikings.

In NATO matters, Canada follows GB's lead.

Our president speaks to us and the world from a bully pulpit.

Once again Tucker seems to be the odd man, even at Fox.

Apologetics for the invasion. Disgusting propaganda. Shame on you for spreading it.

Which came first, the chicken or the egg?

Conspiracy nonsense touted on Faux. Said nonsense repeated on Russian (the actual in Russia) state media. Fucker Carlson, et al, broadcast what Russia is saying and cast doubt on U.S. denials.

All the little micro-brains hear from Faux is "Biden + biolabs + Ukraine" and now they have cover for backing Russia's invasion.

In all honesty I didn't watch the whole clip because my brain, which operates on logic and reason, can't process the convoluted ramblings of Faux News's brightest star.

Shaming is a moral high ground position. You're a one trick pony.
