re: No, we should not send our military to Ukraine. But can we speak the truth?

Our involvement in the 2014 Orange Coup is directly related to the current military action.

Yeah just because there was a coup that led to a regime Putin doesn’t like, that doesn’t make the US “responsible” for him invading the place

What would you have the U.S. do?

You could say the exact same thing about the democrats in this country. Are we really that much better?

Very comparable situation. What a retard

Oh that explains it

"President" Putin has been in power for 18 years.

Its bizarre to me that so many people seem to be excusing Putin's actions or deflecting this and turning it into a indictment of Biden.

It's not defending Putin. It's recognizing that our foreign policy in the Ukraine and Syria under the Obama Administration is the direct catalyst for this Russian military action - and not only was it dreadful policy but it was corrupt to the core as the Clintons, Bidens, and Kerrys all made millions in the process.

Americans, especially the American left, are so politically ignorant of the goings-on outside of our borders that the only way they can conceptualize foreign policy is in black and white, us versus them.

You can easily hold the opinion that Putin is an autocrat with malicious motives while also recognizing that our corrupt politicians are the genesis of this conflict.

Yup. So is the American government since 2001. Why don’t we fix our own country before we send people to the other side of the globe.

Putin is a bad person. He’s a power hungry authoritarian socialist and his waging war shouldn’t be supported or cheered on. It’s dangerous and it’s setting up a global conflict. Those countries in Europe can fight him for a while and beat him back.

Here at home, Our government is wildly corrupt and out of control. Our society is divided and full of hatred. Our economy is circling the toilet and our workforce is apathetic and disengaged. Our border security is abhorrent. Our media and news agencies are nothing more than state propaganda. Let’s get a handle on the things destroying our country before we worry about other countries.

America doesn’t currently have the backbone or resources to defend the globe. We can’t even defend ourselves. We need to strategically plan how best to defend our country and how to best fight these powers. We can’t just jump into a hot war and spread out already paper thin resources into nothingness.

Why don’t we all come together and get our country under control before we divide ourselves fighting about how to handle other countries.

Maybe if we spend the next few years rebuilding this country’s independence in manufacturing and energy and production then maybe we will be prepared to fight a global threat. Maybe. At that point maybe if other countries have been fighting to keep Russia and China at bay maybe we can step in and help beat them all the way back.

We need to rebuild local and state powers. We need to reinvest in actual American jobs and growth sectors. We need to reign in the federal government. We need to end the wild spending and unnecessary outsourcing and allegiance to foreign countries.

Basically what we’re doing now, but let’s at least be real about what’s going on there and not parrot Putin’s talking points because Tucker Carlson does.

Economy isn’t circling the toilet.

Yea ok Bud. Keep living in fantasy land.

1. There are certain words in this country that if you say you will lose your job and be ostracized from society. In Canada they are passing laws to make “hate speech” illegal. The Democrats would love that and they will try it here.

2. They want to make it illegal for you to own guns

3. The left controls almost the entirety of media and is their propaganda arm. How is this even still a debate after COVID?

So let’s see, they want to take away freedom of speech, the second amendment, and they control the flow of information.

We are closer than you think and you are the retard for not seeing it.

Why did this pop off under Obama/Biden, go dormant under Trump, and escalate exponentially as soon as Biden took office?
