Why the frick do you want Russia to win this war?


Why are you so invested in spending billions of taxpayer dollars to prop up a country on Russia’s border that’s on the inevitable path of collapse?

That is what Ukraine wants. It wants Russia to exhaust itself trying to capture a city that has no military value. Just keep feeding them Russians into the meat grinder.


The 5 stages of grief. I see that you’re still stuck in denial.

Not to mention more Russian Generals will be sent back home to Moscow in wooden coffins.

Why are you do invested in propping up a virtual dictator who is spending billions of taxpayer dollars to take over a country that was on the verge of collapse?

I don’t live in Russia and they’re not spending my tax-dollars.

Why are you OK with spending billions of taxpayer dollars, when the US economy is in shambles, to arm a country on Russia’s border?

Fighting proxy wars is way cheaper than fighting really wars.

My only complaint with the US actions so far is that it’s too little maybe too late.

Yes, I am ok.

I’m against the Medicare, the free phones, the excusing of student loans, the section 8 giveaways and on and on.

40 Billion to wear out Russia seems like a good investment to me. They would do out his and have before.

This is the only correct answer. The red brigade are mentally challenged.

Proxy wars can be just as bad as actual wars

It’s only a good investment in your mind because D.C. politicians love getting the campaign contributions from the Military industrial complex. They then go on the mainstream media campaigning for “Democracy in Ukraine” but have people like yourself hoodwinked.

You are making no sense, there is nothing in it for me.

I was against Russian aggression when they took Crimea and Georgia. I was upset when Obama did nothing to stand in their way. I supported Trump’s attempts to aud Ukraine and I support Biden’s too.

I’m not hoodwinked.

That’s the best part, we sell more weapons, which allows us to spend more on R&D, which allows us to maintain technical superiority over our adversaries, which prevents direct conflict because our adversaries know they would lose if they attacked us directly.

Ukraine is not paying for these weapons. Taxes are.

It doesn’t matter, and I don’t care. I think that a strong US is a better US, and I understand that this requires taxes. Taxes to support the military date back to the early days of our federal government. No one cares about your politics.

What part of dumping billions of taxpayer dollars (in a horrible economy) into a country that’s inevitably going to collapse helps the US?
