re: Latest Updates: Russia-Ukraine Conflict

I thought the same thing with Obama’s reset, the approval of the uranium mine sale to Russia, getting caught on a hot mic pandering to Putin, and that the 80s called joke in 2012 was ignorant and pandering to his base and growing left’s power within Democratic Party. It’s same Russia and Putin then as now, but any concerned was laughed at by liberals and the left.

I have stayed fairly consistent on my mistrust of Putin and Russia (and China for that matter), but that doesn’t mean I agree with the exponential increase in US funds going to Ukraine that started in March to basically double up what the rest of world is contributing to Ukraine. I don’t think we have enough controls over some of the money. I also don’t like just handing over weapons at borders with little ability to track them. Too many in Libya and Syria got in the hands on enemies in past, and we just left $7 billion in military equipment for the Taliban. I doubt $40 billion aid package in May will be the last aid package passed or get smaller in size when September comes around.

When I check places that liberals say right wingers and conservatives are supporting Russia or taking up cause for Russia I see mostly the same the concerns along with concerns over Biden’s mental capacity and motives. I doubt that in regards to conservative support of Russia the “fraction is significant and it consists of some of the most hard core” unless you are incorrectly including those just have concerns about Biden, the money, the weapons, and some on Ukraine leadership and culture with all this aid. Those who do this constantly in this thread are no different than what they keep saying about those on PB.

i actually agreee with you 1000 percent. I normally despise foreign aide, all of it. but I will say and have said in this thread that

A) i did and still somewhat do feel we may be able to topple putin and his regime without firing a shot ourself. I do not worry about escalation as I know how weak russia is militarily. If we are able to topple them without losing a single american soldier, that is money "better" spent than our other foreign aide.

**all foreign aide is still 100000000% bullshite!*

B) as much as i think Ukraine is a piece of shite corrupt shithole akin to most south american shite holes, i will always root for those countries being invaded if they are being invaded by our enemey. frankly i dont and didnt care about this bullshite overall and feel it was a european problem, but since we "had to do something" like we always fricking make the mistake of doing, i am going to cheer for ukraine.


most of the guys in this thread are conservatives, only the fricking idiot like tnboy are liberals and he is still a dumbass.

with that being said...the PB has become overrun with fake arse conservatives like sir winston who cant make an arguement to save their live. they are a product of a cult of personality and have no princples.

most of the PB has been over run with guys who would rather see trump win to piss off the left than to see desantis win and actually get a conservative agenda passed. I voted for trump and would again and if he is the nominee, i hope he kicks arse and will pray every night for him, but i have principles that are grounded in the constitution and if that puts me at odds with the trump cult, oh fricking well; i am sticking to my principles. that is the case right now on the PB and while i dont go over there very much.
