We're not just sending pallets of Benjamins to Kiev like Obama sent to Tehran in spite of what the Willfully Stupid Club members on here think.
Depends on your definition of "Benjamins" I suppose. At this point a crapload of US taxpayer dollars have gone to UKR. The term pallets could probably suffice but is not defined in this case. All in all it a crapload of US taxpayer money has been sent to UKR. Yes, despite your definition of 'pallets', enough US taxpayer money has been expended to UKR to account for at least one pallet by now.

Yeah I'm not really buying this whole "you support Putin if you are tired of seeing DC launder billions of dollars via Ukraine". Sorry.
All that needed to be said. Ditto.

It's the former and not the later.

Do you not realize that Ukraine has a history of being corrupt as well?

Russian,
I respect a lot of what you post. I typically read your OPs because most (if not all) of them usually include good info and insights.
I respect your opinions, and I respect the amount of time you spent in that part of the world.
I have friends who have worked with Russians, and they've always said that (in general) never trust the Russians.
Then you have Ukraine, which historically has sided with whatever side will benefit them. They're in the crossroads between the East and West and in the middle of a lot of conflicts, so in some ways I get it. But because of that, I don't trust Ukraine, either. This is outside of the CIA installation of Zelesnky and the fact that Ukraine has been on the corruption index for decades.
So given all of this, why is it wrong for people to have the position that we should sit back and let them fight it out without interfering?
Most of us who remember the Cold War don't want it starting up again, and if Putin is as much of a madman as you say, doesn't it stand to reason that our intervention could at some point set him off and start up another one?

According to Mark Levin, If you're not a rabid supporter of fighting a proxy war against Russia, a war that was 100% preventable you're a Putinoid.

It’s not about supporting Putin. I don like Putin he is an evil thug. I also, don’t want mY tax dollars being laundered back and forth to Ukraine when those in DC won’t stop spending more than the govt takes in. I support the United States of America and I don’t want my tax dollars going to someone else’s war.

I suggest you head over and kick Putin's arse. Send us your address and we'll send you a few million dollars to help
Link to volunteer to help the brave Ukrainians in their crusade to rid the world of the evil Ruzzians!

You are wrong a lot, so I'm not surprised that you're still a pro war neocon parroting bill Kristol talking points

quote:Some insight, indeed.
I worked in Russia for over three years in the late 1990's/early 2000's. But I also worked in Kiev, Lviv and Odessa, Ukraine off and on over 5 years starting in the mid-2000's.
Those experiences gives me some insight into the Russian and Ukrainian ways of thinking, especially what they think about each other.
quote:The interesting thing is, we had an opportunity to deploy far more aggressive economic support and cooperation with Russia as Yeltsin took the reins. We didn't. Instead we did nearly the opposite.
No, NC_, he wasn't provoked. He's been planning on re-subjugating Ukraine and other former Soviet republics ever since he took over the Russian presidency in December, 1999 when Yeltsin resigned four months after appointing Putin Prime Minister in August, 1999.
We expanded NATO. Then we engaged NATO (as opposed to the UN) against Russia's traditional Balkan ally, Serbia. Those positions left the Russian body politick yearning to replace Yeltsin. In walked Putin, for many of the reasons you laid out.
With regard to provocation though, it seems there scarcely could be anything more provoking then our interference in Russia's 2011 Duma elections, and our subsequent backing of Ukraine's 2013-4 Euromaidan coup.... unless it was renewed conversation about formally inculcating Ukraine into an anti-Russian nuclear alliance.
