Stealth aircraft still have radar signatures. This is a secret we guard even with our closest allies

I never said that it did or didn’t have merit. I posed the question because I was curious to see how others answered the question.
Invasions and wars and aggression go on all over the world and have since the beginning of time. I am trying to understand why people are so anxious to spend billions of our tax $$$ and get so deeply involved in this one and why people are so passionately supporting one side instead of being ambivalent or agnostic like so many other conflicts.
So not a serious question since you only wanted to gauge others responses so you could cherry pick from them to push your own slant on things rather than engage in discussion on the merits or lack thereof of Russia's position in invading Ukraine.

[i]Wrong. There were some good and interesting answers. Again I never said I thought it had merit. And I haven’t addressed the issue one way or the other since asking the question
That’s a very different issue than whether our national treasure should be spent on a conflict on the other side of the world regardless of which side is right or wrong…or why people have a such bloodlust (and even put out yard signs for heavens sake). in connection with a foreign conflict that doesn’t involve the US

Thank you for confirming your hypocrisy to the thread since needless death only seems reprehensible until it confirms your side of things.

Zero hypocrisy. Russia breaking through is the quickest way to end the war. If you and Biden and the MIC have their way this will be Afghanistan 2.0 and go on for 20 years.
The people calling themselves "conservatives" and supporting this insanity is where the hypocrisy lies. Anything that Biden, WP, CIA and MIC support unanimously is 100% evil. You're on their side on this.

You didn't say this was the quickest way for the war to end in your post, you were merely expressing glee that others were proven wrong and that you were proven right.
So yes, hypocrisy.

So a difference of opinion. As they say, that’s what makes horse racing.

I don’t know what you mean by globalist power. It’s a meaningless statement without further detail. But however you want to define it, it is not as illiberal and anti-freedom as Putinist Russia or Xi’s China. Those two nations are the definition of absolute governmental authority and top down governmental control. That this needs to be said is why I’m glad the barbarians are being kept at bay in Ukraine.

I asked the question and got some interesting responses from people who chose to answer. It’s not up to you to demand that I answer my own question.
I just find the bloodlust and free spending of my money to be very troubling. Glad I don’t have kids that age based on the warmongers on here

Eh, that’s a stretch in my opinion. If anything we’re just seeing the inevitable death knell of Russia as a power on the global stage. What it has done is show that the west can use its economic and industrial might to at least stop Russia from advancing without using its own militaries
But using its economic and industrial might is definitely doing something. It’s overwhelmingly what we have done and continue to do. If we hadn’t done that, with no sanctions levied, no arms provided, no intelligence shared, Russia may have faltered initially, but would have eventually eaten Ukraine one bite at a time.
In my opinion, we are watching the slow death of Russia because of Western action in this sideshow, and because Ukrainian’s central government stayed. If Zelensky and company flee like the Afghan’s, I think Kyiv falls and its game over before any Western action would be implemented.

But in my opinion the balance of power left Russian and went to China at least 20 years ago. This is just a very interesting sideshow.
Agree with this. I think China saw Russia as a useful attack dog, and potentially a useful idiot to sow division among the collective, globalist west.

Could be just the raptor then. I know someone who was involved in training new pilots in FLA. He told me that whenever foreign friends were in for an exercise, the raptors do not fly for this reason

Putin sending his armies back to Russia is the quickest way to end the war right now.
Putin returning all of the kidnapped children to Ukraine is the quickest way to end future hostilities.

Dude, it was chemical weapons, not nukes. They didn't even have a nuke reactor.

No, it is up to me ask a question in return to a "serious question" which I did as I was similarly, at least then, interested in your perspective.
What was up to you was whether you responded or not and in what manner.
Your evasion in being forth coming and subsequent responses to both my and others responses reveals how shallow your "interest" in perspective is.
