re: Latest Updates: Russia-Ukraine Conflict

So the Russians now say that Soros was the "main promoter of the war in Ukraine?" Gee, from where I sit it clearly appears that the main supporter is Putin, who actually ordered the war.

What if I told you Putin *and* Soros are huge pieces of authoritarian statist shite that need to be executed with a quickness?

So serious question....lets say the events of last couple of days continues and ukraine continues to kick arse.....where do they stop? how far does the offensive go? what is russias reaction if say they are marching towards moscow?


There has been absolutely no indication that Ukraine has ever had any intention of invading Russia.

Of course we don't know anything for sure, but I would assume that Ukraine would declare victory if the Russians left their country.

Ukraine will annex Belarus as north Ukraine since it was part of the territory controlled by the Kyivian Rus centuries ago. If Putin can pull up random territory claims from the past, why can't Ukraine do the same thing? (sarcasm alert)

Your statement and his can both be true

I have not once said that Biden is dragging us into WWIII.

Biden has a lot he can be criticized for, but I wish y'all would get straight what you're criticizing him about.

Look at the public opinion polls around this.

People think Biden has been too weak on Russia, but you ask people about specific actions against Russia and they dont think we should do more than we have.

Should we have a no fly zone?

A lot of people answer yes.

Should we send in troops?

Most of those same people say no, despite the former requiring the latter.

You must not be familiar with TBoy and his love of authoritarians as long as he agrees with them.

I am not

quote:

A no fly zone does not require troops on the ground

---

I never said troops on the ground.

I assume pilots count as troops.

When you ask people about "sending in troops" they think troops on the ground. Not pilots.

Hence the two different responses.

quote:

Ok. Ill give you that as a bad example but the general point remains true. People want the US to be tougher, somehow, but dont want to do more than we have.

No disagreement here. Was just pointing out why you have the two different responses from your average civilian when it comes to "no fly zone" and "send in the troops".
