From Afghanistan to Ukraine is 3,400km. They said it was to expensive to fly the equipment back home which is over 11km. So why not have moved it there knowing a conflict with Russia may arise?

That would require an Administration with a brain.

That would look like a threat...

Why can't Ukraine defend themselves?

Why are we involved and why do we care so much?

Because Ukraine is where American public officials send money to have it sent right back to them.

Moving shite to Ukraine would just be trading who ends up with free US gear, camel frickers or Slavic alcoholics.


Ukraine has no natural defenses because it is pure plains, meaning that a Russian armored strike with vintage WWII tanks could probably end up like the Blitzkrieg under Germany.




That’s not to say Ukraine won’t have guerilla resistance afterward but there are no natural choke points to where US equipment would have helped them hold the line.

I'm not sure any of Europe can defend against Russia except for England. There is some question as to whether or not Russia can smother us. They do have bigger balls than us.

For one, they're a far smaller nation.

Secondly, Obama sent them blankets when Russia took over Crimea. BIG help there.

Finally, the Trump admin DID send some weaponry, but now that's being called the cause for Putin's build up. As if. What did Obama do to draw Russia into Crimea?

Exactly. Nothing.

Because if we moved the equipment out of Afghanistan it would drastically reduce the risk of another future MIC/CIA middle east war. gotta think $$$.

We should care for all countries that admire and love the American way of life.

Russia is a corrupt dictatorship.

Ukraine is also corrupt but at least it is TRYING to get better and trying to join the West. We should extend our hand in peace and offer any and all assistance.

Is it acceptable to use your own low-yield tactical nukes within your borders to incinerate an overwhelming invading force.

That would have eliminated the bribes from the military industrial complex to federal government officials

bribes must be collected

Wouldn't it be nice if we stopped provoking wars and just stayed home.
