This is an article about something the UK defense said.
Last time I checked, the UK consists of a couple of islands off the coast of Europe.
So we have a European commenting on a European issue.
You engaged in whatsboutism by asserting the UK has its own problems.
Now you are saying that your whatsboutism is relevant bc both are European problems, which makes no sense.
Stop arguing like a liberal. You’re too smart and engaged for that kind of nonsense.
It’s OK to espouse isolationism and still see one side as wrong.
eegator: Sure it does. Neither is the business of the US. Both are European issues.
Israel is not our business either and is a Middle Eastern issue but we still help them out. They are our allies and our only true friend in the ME. Free countries are disappearing around the world and the ones left need to help each other out and look out for each other. Ukraine is corrupt but it is a free or at least giving a go at it and is making attempts to cleanse itself of corruption. If we do not help Ukraine a dictator may take over Ukraine and really be a danger to Europe...or Russia will take over Ukraine then Estonia then Moldavia.
The Founding Fathers said we should be isolationist but George Washington did not have to worry about ICBM’s and cyber warfare that can wipe out this country in a keystroke.
We have to get involved in some cases for our long term national security interest
The army Putin spent 2 decades building has been largely destroyed in Ukraine, and Russia’s ‘strategic defeat’ could threaten his grip on power

Russian Derangement Syndrome has scrambled your brain as badly as a stroke scrambled John Fetterman's. You and your ilk are delusional, babbling dunces.
The only people truly suffering because of this idiot sanction war with Russian are in the west, specifically in Europe. And, those suffering deserve to have five minutes alone with morons like you with baseball bat.
Your "liberal world order" is dying. Good riddance to it.
Dittos. The West is far from perfect with our open borders, rainbow flags, trans this and homo that, but it the material we have to work with. I prefer this to living in China, Russia, Brazil or Nigeria.
Lots of FReepers are hooked on Putin’s anti-gay, anti-globohomo stylings and would like living in Moscow
Russia’s oil revenues are plunging. The oil price is down and Russia is giving discounts right and left. To India and China in particular. Roooskies must move their oil one way or another or the pipes and valves in Siberia will crack open from the water in the oil freezing. Water that inexorably moves upward along with the crude oil.
Once that oil well is tapped it is hard to cap/shut off in Siberia/
A free education from me K-Klown and Putin mega stooge/
Very good commentary. I am midway through watching it. Crimea is Putin’s jewel. From historical Tsarist and Catherine The Great reasons. She also founded beautiful Odessa.
It will be very difficult for Ukrainians to take it back. We shall see in 2023

As the third largest city in Ukraine, Odessa has a rich and eclectic history. Located on the Black Sea, about 450 km south of Kiev, the city has always been known for its cosmopolitan atmosphere as a major seaport and trade center. Odessa’s six warm-water harbors are located at the basin of two great rivers, the Dnieper and the Dniester.

People here forget about the Kursk mom who was protesting and Russian officials shoved a needle in her neck to shut her up and carried her away. That is was done out in the public without even hiding it tells you all you need to know about Russia.
I would live above a gay strip bar on Folsom street before I lived in Russia. Freedom is a right not many people in the world possess. I may not like what is happening below me but I would be free.

Drunken(or Drug Using)Russian soldier sleeps next to his rifle in a cold stairway after not being able to find the building his unit is occupying.
America is being destroyed internally. Without fixing most of our issues, Russia and Ukraine are meaningless.
Triage is necessary.
Last few seconds of the video. He crapped in his pants to top things off.
The former Austrian Chancellor disagrees with your assessment, saying that the Russian energy incomes doubled.
Meanwhile, Xi ordered the Chinese ministers to make Russian economic relations the top priority.
Yes, maybe they should get their domestic policies in shape before opining on Russia. Whole cities are being run by Mohammeds.
Russia's oil revenue as a whole has been way up this year compared to last year.
Even last month, Russia collected more revenue than it did on average in 2021:

Russia earned about $15.8 billion from oil sales last month, the IEA estimated in its market report on Wednesday. The lowest monthly revenue this year was $14.7 billion in September, which was in line with the 2021 average.
