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 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.

You still don't see it. Perhaps you are too young. There are countries that will invade other countries and impose their will. And there are ripple effects from that. And it ratchets up the tension until the other side can no longer ignore it. Then Russia decides to harass Poland. Like it or not we are a superpower. There are times when we have to act on behalf of those who are not as powerful. It's really a thing man. Let's do what you want and that is nothing. Maybe that will work. But maybe not. Perhaps a little strategy here will do some good.

I don't form my opinions on what Tucker says. He is now part of pop culture and he knows it. He can be over dramatic. He's a TV guy.

Got it, you’re smarter and richer that that actor Tucker, shame on me for listening to him or his interviewing one of your heroes.

Nope. It's not our fight. Russia would have been an ally now had we not jerked them around after the breakup of the Soviet Union.

Instead we treated them like the enemy and surrounded them.

Regardless, I'll not be lead by tyrants into war with others they deem tyrants.

I figured as much. You are young. You do tend to follow pop culture. And you haven't leaned about nuance or how to think critically yet. You like to pop off on Politalk because you think it makes you look smart. And you will not engage in serious discussion instead falling back to Tucker cliches like let's send our troops to the border to protect our most serious problem. Maybe Tucker can interview Biden about that.

I am not richer than Tucker but I have a lot of coin.

No argument from me. I’m an a-hole because I watched the imbecile Tucker Carlson. And because Putin, in a previous life was known as Hitler, is about to invade Ukraine, then onto Poland before conquering the rest of the free world, I’m pretty much Neville Chamberlain for not wanting to send young men around the world when we have our own issues as a country. If I prefer Putin send me to a camp rather than Obama, it probably makes me racist too.

Because China and their chinese allies in America want to ensure Russia and the US remain enemies forever. God forbid, the West unites against China.

Kind of. But the Ohio congressman was asking to send military to monitor the situation and to provide intelligence. That's what he asked for. And that the US provide lethal weaponry. He is not talking about mobilizing the US military in Ukraine. It is a reasonable approach. We could train Ukrainian military and provide them with near state of the art weaponry to bust tanks.
Then Tucker said no, send OUR military to OUR border. It was irrelevant in the discussion. And Trucker had the microphone so he didn't even give the congressman a chance to argue his case. Tucker was bombastic. It is the first Tucker show I've seen in half a year. There is a reason to not idolize the TV pundits.
