Starting a war with Russia is suicide. We die, and the politicians die.

In 2014, the Obama administration aided in a coup that resulted in a Russian invasion of Crimea and a subsequent referendum that saw Ukraine lose a territory it had sovereignty over since the 1950's. Can we stop with the idea that American military and intelligence meddling automatically makes things better? It creates chaos. But hell, that's the point.


How many countries should Russia be able to invade to rebuild their former glory? And who in the hell can even stop them?

No worries we will have Milley running it with proper pronouns.

Why is that our business anymore? I seriously would like your explanation. I’m guessing it has to do with alliances of the past? We no longer stand with those we made commitments to, see the Afghanistan withdrawal.

The United States has spent the last 30+ years expanding NATO. We're the expansionists, not the Russians. The idea that they're going to create another Iron Curtain is ludicrous. And even if they do, how is that any worse than the EU?

We either send massive quantities of men and material or we don't.
No in-between on the border of Russia.

Because Russia is an enemy and Ukraine is a new ally. Is there a more complex question you're trying to ask?..

You will find no people in the world more pro-American than the people the people of Ukraine and Eastern Europe.

Heck 99 percent of them would post on this board and agree with it (most).

They could rename their countries "Tigerdroppingstan" and it would be accurate.

But nooooo. Let's abandon them to Putin is no friend of America and says the biggest tragdey in history is the collapse of the USSR.

For example - Stop immigrants Islam onslaught -

For example - Build a wall -

For example - Screw China -

For example - Just say no to elites and big pharma

It was good for Clark’s career, but I think Prístina also embarrassed him.

Here we go again telegraphing our moves. I bet Milley would call the kremlin to ask permission before doing it.

Of all the countries to reinforce, Ukraine isn’t one of them.

Not even talking politically, I’m talking about geography and choke points. Ukraine really doesn’t have any to use against Russia, which makes them sitting ducks when Putin wants to start handing out dachas in the Crimea.

That's why the congressmen sent the letter to Biden. They are putting it on the record that if Ukraine is invaded and we do nothing to help the US is again allowing a malign force to force their will. You know like the nazi's invading Poland way back when. And the world sat around with their hands in their pocket stroking their you know what?
And anyway it looks like most of you baws support Biden's approach in Ukraine anyway as well as Tucker's. Give me your address and I'll send a Tucker bobblehead that you can put in front of your computer screen for guidance.

Thanks, so it’s a political show, that makes sense. Maybe you’re right and Putin = Hitler, but I see our current leadership much more sinister in wanting to control and punish their political enemies and those they deem as deplorable, and for that reason I believe the argument that we are better or have some sort of morality edge is a foolish argument. But I appreciate the reply as I definitely don’t to profess know the worldly issues, I just know I don’t want my sons dying for corrupt politicians.

Never understood what that was supposed to mean.
