re: Russia invading Ukraine may be imminent

What if I informed you that people were talking about the escalating situation that led to the American Civil War for years before it happened?

Or that people were talking about the escalating events that led up to both World Wars for years before they actually started?

Now, consider that you live in a time in history where you are conditioned to expect that incidents such as the ones cited above occur in a matter of a month or they are not to be taken seriously.

That must be what mmmmbeer is talking about when he refers to “support”.

It's pretty typical for lefty do-gooders like him. Scream to the rafters about how you're doing something but not really doing anything at all while patting your own back

MUH Russia - a country that has the GDP of Texas and shite Soviet Era weapons and vehicles.

who's sworn enemy? pretty sure russia has never done anything to me and pretty god damn sure that as an average american my life is not affected one fricking bit by anything Putin does.

wait so its ok when NATO does it? but not ok for russia to fight back? WTF??

NATO started this with the bullshite overthrow and then trying to bring ukraine into nato. for fricking what? why should the US go into any agreement to come to the Ukraines defense for anything?

if the US is attacked is Ukraine going to make a difference if they come to our defense? frick no

we freaked out over russia putting missles in cuba....yet we are trying to do the same damn thing with Ukraine or atleast nato is. Why is ok for us to do it but not russia?

quote:

at what point do YOU feel we should become involved, presumably via proxy?

we should mind our fricking business and stop getting involved in other countries affairs. Yall want to claim russian meddling in our election.....well we do that all over the globe...why is that ok?

One state? Three states? Once they're building up on the German border? Never unless they're on our doorstep?

well im of the opinion if germany and other nato countries cared...they would be spending at a minimum the nato requirement of 2% of gdp.....they havent and dont so obviously they dont care to fight back. Nato is frickign useless to the united states. same with the UN. we are nothing but the money man for them. In all out war.....they are useless and dont really help us at all other than places to land. They are free loaders....frick them. Name one thing they have done to help the US, just 1.

same with taiwan and china....everyone like OMlandshark come on here and talk about taiwan hates china and will fight to the death and we should send troops....but then facts get in the way....if taiwan cared so much they wouldnt only budget 3% of gdp to defense and for the love of god....they would atleast spend the allocated money. For 5 years running now they have failed to even spend the budgetted money.

so here is what it comes down to...have you ever served? if not then what are you waiting for?

when it comes to war the question should be and always be....would you be willing to sacrifice your child for this cause by sending them off to fight.....if the answer in your heart is no....then dont ask others to send theirs.


but for everyone clamoring for war....lets talk about it. Ukraine will take volunteer fighters, same with taiwan....what are you waiting for? get over there and get you some since you are so passionate about it.

or is this going to be like OMlandsharks case where he is constantly calling for war but he magically has a genetic condition where he cant fight and he has no kids?

usually people calling for war all the time are complete pussies who have never volunteered ever.

as far as the comments about 1939 and hitler


the us was correct in staying out of that war until they declared war on us. We were attacked and rightfully declared war on Japan and would have kept it that away if they wouldnt have declared war on us. which was the correct decision. European problems are european problems, not ours.

Crimea and Ukraine of a proxy war. Putin is trying to rebuild the USSR. That's something people should take serious.

But hey no more means tweets right?

No way this shite happens under Trumps watch.

serious how? as in send US troops to die?

why is ukraine a better friend than russia to the US that we should take thier side?

tell me how the ussr coming back together affects the average US citizens any when it comes to everyday life.

explain like i am 5 please.

I thought Belarus was a staunch Putin ally?

Communism is bad. Capitalism is good. Letting communist countries take over countries that are more capitalist in nature is bad. Russia is also the place people live that choose the profession of cybercrime agent for hires. So one day when your accounts get hacked or a corporation gets hacked that has your PII info be sure to thank Russia for that.
