“to protect us from your side”
**********************************************

My side? My side is America and its interests, and I don’t consider WW3 to be in our interests at all. And my father was 101st Airborne, but since he’s now deceased I can’t tell him anything, but I’m sure the rest of the 101st aren’t looking forward to facing Russian artillery.

This isn’t going to be the US fighting a minor power in the mideast, we are going to suffer many more casualties going against Russia. We lost 65,000 or so in 21 years we were in Vietnam, we’d lose that many in 2-3 months fighting Russia. I wonder how those in the 101st feel about dying to preserve Ukraine’s borders? I doubt they’ll be happy about it.

If you support us, then you would not be supporting the enemy.

Jane Fonda was also doing it for the greater good in her mind, by her personal judgment that America was on the wrong side.

I hope that your dad would be proud that president Trump reactivated V Corps and moved its European headquarters closer to the Russian threat, by moving it to Poland, and it is currently manned by the 101st Airborne.

By the way, America and the 29 other countries of NATO are not fighting Russians and have no intention of doing so, so relax.

Little Ukraine seems to be handling Russia.

“I wonder how those in the 101st feel about dying to preserve Ukraine’s borders? I doubt they’ll be happy about it.”

Yet, we did just that in WWII (only then it was Europe’s borders, not just one country’s). Germany wasn’t going to invade the US, or threaten our borders. So, by your logic, the US never should have been involved in the ETO during WWII: We should have just concentrated on the Pacific theater.
