It does not mean that US troops should fight in Ukraine.



So an American missiles, with American intelligence hit a Russian war ship. And you don't see that as an act of war? We are also sending our politicians and diplomats over there, including the first Lady. When Jill Bidem is in Kiev, that essentially means we have air support there ready to shoot down Russian Migs. You understand that is an act of aggression and would also be an act of war.

You really cool with starting WW3 over fricking Ukraine? You some sort of dumbass?

...and not a mention of the costs or timeline. You've proven it's 100% virtue signaling.

What are they implying "standing with Ukraine" means?

Supporting a country/people who have been illegally invaded by Russia? It's not that complicated.

Because women love to virtue signal regarding things they know absolutely nothing about.

Its so predictable and exhausting.

No one gives a shite if you love trannies, love illegals, whatever signs you post in your yard and on facebook.

You serious? You aren't aware we have been supplying Ukraine with weapons and intelligence?

It’s also not that simple either. But you knew that.

That we should support endless tax dollars or worse artificially printed fiat dollars heading to Ukraine to further incite and prolong violence in this region, when that money could be spent protecting our own borders?




Apparently, that’s exactly what they support. They and a host of Dems and Rhinos!

You might be closer to the truth than you think…there is somewhat of an association between Ukraine being seen as a tie in with team Biden and Russia being a tie in with team Trump. You don’t go through the whole Russia collusion blitz we had for these past few years without some mental association with Trump and Russia. I think the left feels that sticking it to Russia is somehow a back door way of harming Trump.

Logic involved? Zero…but when were libs or leftists ever in use of logic?

Your average American citizen couldn't find Ukraine on a map.

This is simply propaganda, hive thinking by our moronic citizenry.

Most people just need some cause to get behind, to make them feel important, having no idea what is actually going on.

Why don't they support America and European countries that are being illegally invaded by third worlders? Because the media, big tech, and politicians haven't told them to. They don't really give a shite about Ukrainians. They care more about how supporting Ukraine with useless actions makes them look to the other sheep.

You implied that it was a US missile that sunk the Moskva. I am curious whether you have any support for that assertion.

They're really taking a bold stance donating $.43 while getting their frappamochachino. Probably 50% of what will be spent on overhead expenses by whoever is running the "organization". . . Standing strong.

The American intelligence part has been confirmed by the NYT. America has been supplying Ukraine with weaponry, this is not a secret. We want to spend 33 billion more to supply them with weapons and military support. What do you think these weapons do? Was the specific missile that hit that ship American supplied? Hard to tell, but seems like semantics you are getting caught up with.

It's that simple in terms of support. Ukraine is innocent and Russia is 100% at fault for something terrible.

It gets a lot more complicated when you discuss international side-picking and all the effects of that.

Why would it be an act of war? This isn’t the first time we’ve sold weapons to a country at war.

I really don’t understand why y’all have a problem with people supporting Ukraine. I really don’t understand why so many people on here, have a problem with Ukraine, and not Russia. Like what’s the big deal? Don’t want to support something that Biden and Dems are in charge of is what it is. Well I hate Biden and the Dems too, but I’m not going to swoop down to yalls pathetic level.
