The US would then have welched on its commitment to Ukraine for surrendering their Nukes..



By giving Ukraine weapons and then letting them do whatever they wanted to do with them?

I PERSONALLY wouldn't care if we didn't help them at all from the start.

HOWEVER if we are going to help them, my position is that you give them the premium weapons so they can actually win, or at the very least let them do what they want to do with the ones you do give them.

That’s cute considering it was the west who persuaded Ukraine to give up their nukes in the first place.



I didn't ask them to do that. Neither did VP Cackles or Trump. I doubt even Biden had any input on it pre-fossilization. You're dealing with a government in the time and place in which you made that deal, its pretty common knowledge that situations change. We've flip-flopped on Iran numerous times already.

The problem with that is you can’t pick and choose which commitments you are going to keep and keep any credibility with the League of Nations.

Our president should have and for all we know did tell Putin to back off Ukraine. In return we won’t let them in NATO. In return Putin could keep Crimea but he needed to get out of Donbas. If not wd we’re going to load Ukraine up.

Nations weasel their way out of things constantly. We EASILY could have said the war has been going on since 2014 and we have given them aid already, which are all at least debatably true.

Given what the NORKs get for food, they probably just came for the Russian military lunch menu.

“The North Korean soldiers dispatched to Russia are currently stationed at Russian military bases in the Far East, including Vladivostok, Ussuriysk, Khabarovsk, and Blagoveshchensk, and are expected to be deployed to the front lines as soon as they complete their adaptation training,” read the press release.

Biden's idiotic bug-out from Afghanistan certainly played a role in Putin's full scale invasion.

Did you know that China repossessed large modules for the Russian new LNG plant? Little tiny things at 14,000 tons each

I didn’t capitalize League of Nations.
It’s my spell checker doing that.

Rep. Turner is the head of the House Intelligence Committee. That's why his statement is meaningful.
