Tucker going off on those who feel the need and urgency to protect Ukraine's borders.

It's sick.

I'm no isolationist. History has shown that when we sit around and do nothing, our enemies advance against our interests. The world is too interconnected to remain detached from its dealings. While Trump didn't start any new wars while he was in office, he sure as shite kept ISIS, Syrian, and Russian mercenaries occupied in that part of the world. Killed a lot of them, too.

With all that said, I think Ukraine and her neighbors need to show a little backbone and let Putin know there will be a high price if he wants to "annex" any more sovereign Ukrainian soil. We should only get involved militarily if he goes after a NATO country. However, all of this shite could have been avoided if we had made Ukraine part of NATO years ago.

Yeah, he’s saying the opposite

You think making Ukraine a Nato country would ease tensions?

NATO discussions is what aggravated the situation.

Imagine Russians parking nukes in Juarez. Would that make you feel better?

He was ranting against just the opposite. Were you watching? His talking point was Pelosi has filed a bill mandating U.S. money & military personnel be used to protect Ukraine's borders.

If it makes you feel better, there was either a foreign policy expert or ex military guy interviewed on Fox today. His take was different than most who think Ukraine is gone. He said the military of Ukraine today is not the same as it was some years ago. He said Russia will suffer great casualties in warring with Ukraine. And he said that their current number of troops are not sufficient to hold Ukraine. So they will suffer harm though they might prevail as an occupying force. This will destroy Russia in the eyes of the world. But Russia is very concerned about democratic nations on the border and may try to reconstitute the lands of the old Soviet Union as a goal. Putin is 69 years old and has hoodwinked that country as a leader for life for a while now. We live in a different world where all Russian people can't be cut off from the internet world. And a more modern Russian people may get a lump in their gut when their boys begin to die.
I got into a stupid YouTube discussion the other day with a Russian I'm sure. I called Putin a dictator and they tried to convince me belligerently I know nothing. It's amazing how well propaganda works with the Russians. I just don't think it can work as well as it used to.

frick Ukraine
frick Russia

Vindman is Ukrainian. Let it burn.

I can't think of the word she used in the bill, but it is synonymous with "impenetrable." Nancy Pelosi calling for an impenetrable border is laughable.

I honestly am way behind on global politics though, so haven't thought this through.

It is a complex situation but simple in other ways. If Russia keeps lining up and massing men and war machinery on the borders of sovereign nations, we have to do something about it. No other country can on its' own. The UK is pretty stout but they need us. But without us vast parts of Europe could be steam rolled. So it is a matter for all who even care to read these threads to decide whether is any there there in this Russia shite.

I'm not concerned about nukes. If Russia nukes, they are done. There was some talk a while back about the US considering low yield tactical nukes being added to the arsenal. I'm not sure we ever went with that.
