I don’t want anyone dying, but I certainly support the right to defend yourself.

If a thug broke into your house, I support your right to protect yourself. If you had to use deadly force so be it.

Russia broke into Ukraine’s house. I support Ukraine’s right to use deadly force to protect themselves and to throw them out.

It implies Mr Meatgrinder that our leaders no longer consider our Constitution relevant when it comes to sending our citizens to fight around the globe.

It implies that extremely few of the elites that run the country have family fighting in these undeclared wars.

Which most of the citizens with a IQ above a rock understand make it easier to engage in deadly force around the globe.

So does the US Deep State cabal that instigated this war with their NATO on Russia's doorstep BS.

Of course you do.

You and I both know how this ends. You just want to kill as many young men as possible until a negotiated settlement happens.

The common retort "go fight yourself” is a false equivalence. It implies that the only legitimate form of support for a cause or conflict is direct military involvement.

But why must Putin be "defeated", while these exact same people completely ignore Xi Xinping and China's incalculable numbers of human rights violations?

Who is responsible for more death? Who is an actual threat to the Western World? Of Xi and Putin, who has countless undocumented illegal nationals on US soil?

frick "diplomatic" or any other type of involvement in Ukraine against Russia. Limited "aid" to that of the humanitarian variety only. We should be focusing on something that's actually a threat to the USA.

They invaded Ukraine. If the CIA was there so what? That’s no excuse to start a war.

You don’t know me or what I want. And you certainly don’t know how and when this war is going to end.

You don’t know what you are talking about.

It's amazing how a large portion of Americans disregard the war Ukraine waged on the Donbas people before Russia's involvement and completely ignore U.S. involvement in 2014.
Can you explain what you mean by this?

Russia commandos invaded Sloviansk in 2014, unprovoked. Obama and NATO wasn’t strong enough to counter the aggression the way we did in 2022, but that’s what started our main involvement in Ukraine.

You've made it clear.

Youre just terrified to involve yourself. Thats pretty cowardly.

And I disagree “it was always clear that Ukraine would lose.”
OK. Well, now you see that you were wrong. Ukraine will lose.

But forget about the past. Right now, how does prolonging the war help the Ukrainians?

Let's say you're right: So what? What does getting more Ukrainians killed accomplish?

I support LSU football. I donate to TAF, buy tickets and cheer for the team.

The last thing they would want me to do is play. They wouldn’t want my kids either. My grandsons are too young, but neither is athletic enough to play football.


Lol... That's a horrible comparison! 3% of high school football players go on to play at a major college level. Many more folks than that would be capable of serving in the military.

I sometimes forget I am on the Poli Board, the world where everyone other than Putin is responsible for starting the war.

This is about Putin’s actions abroad and against a significant U.S. partner.


A significant US partner in money laundering and development of biological weapons. Ukraine does as much good for the average American citizen as Russia does, which is nothing.

The common retort "go fight yourself” is a false equivalence. It implies that the only legitimate form of support for a cause or conflict is direct military involvement.

Support for a country or a cause can take many forms, including diplomatic, economic, humanitarian aid, or moral support. This argument dismisses the validity of non-combatant support roles.


No one has shown me a legitimate case for why Putin needs any kind of intervention from America at all.
