Can we sticky this post so the people who keep reposting this question every day can just add it to this?


I'd be fine with this for any of the posts before mine. Poli Talk moves fast these days, so any similar threads might be many pages back at this point.

Let's just assume you are right. Is Russia doing that worth us spending 1T on land that holds no value for the USA? If this is so important, why can't Germany and France spend the trillion?

Maybe a sticky for a similar one then if it's such a common topic?

Yet acquired more territory under Obama and Biden. But i'm sure he prefers less territory under Trump, right? Fool.

I will bet the Ukrainian men who get to continue living after a peace deal is achieved will be pleased that Trump is in office as well.

This is the pro-Russia I'm talking about and it currently has upvotes and no downvotes.

At least you gave an explanation, even if I don't necessarily agree with it. Thank you.

There have been many of these strawman threads. The reason you don't see it, is because the thread starter (you in this case) throws out dumb shite. It gets swatted down, OP then retreats, and the thread dies rather quickly. Thus the thread scoots off into irrelevency.

It's much simpler to state, as another poster said in this thread, I reject your premise.

The Ukranian dictator arrested political opponents, jailed church leaders, murdered the child of a Russian journalist, blew up a bridge filled with civilians, shot rockets into Poland and blew up an international pipeline while blaming Russia in a twisted attempt to draw NATO into the conflict. These actions clearly illustrated that there was no good side in this conflict.

But the action that made me anti-Ukraine, was the kidnapping, torture, and murder of a US journalist carried out by Ukranian government officials.

Medvedev, the guy who stepped in for him as Pres. for 4 years will get it.

He's 59.

How is that pro-Russia? Facts that are inconvenient to the narrative you choose to believe are somehow "pro-Russia"?

Do you not have anything else to do other than relitigate arguments me you and others literally just had last night?

Trump told them to. Trump initially call the Russian invasion a holocost when he was scapegoating Biden for the invasion. He added that Russia needs to “stop killing these people”. But last week mentioned that Ukraine started it and that Zelensky’s approval rating was 4% lol.

. He makes Baghdad Bob sound like Honest Abe by comparison. It’s pretty awesome watching the posters here change course to his latest round of lies then call others brainwashed and sheep.

Ehh, I highly doubt it. Neither have the negative history with the U.S. or global pull that Russia has.

Whether you agreed with it or not, we sent aid to Ukraine to help stop the progress Russia was making with its invasion, so that buffer zone between Russia and NATO countries can remain intact.
