Oh, stop using President Reagan to spread your Biden B.S. here.

House Speaker Mike Johnson:

“I’d rather send bullets overseas than American boys.”

And I’d rather we send our resources to our southern border. I’m an American.

Eastern Europe should be funding its own centuries-old tribal disputes.

Compulsion is being considered because many rich countries struggle to recruit enough people for their all-volunteer professional forces.

What? People in other countries don't want to die for their corrupt selfish 'elites' while their countries are being overrun by 'third world migrants'? I'm shocked I tell you - shocked. And these are same third world migrants the 'elites' want for their new servant class? The people are such ingrates. /s

What's next, will Europe's elites put sexual weirdos in charge of their military too? Increasing everyone's chances of dying in combat?

Right, with the democrats in charge of the White House and Senate, and a weak Republican majority in the House, exactly what conservative bills did you think would pass in regards to our southern border?

Lol, maybe its time for you to re-watch:

Oh, get off of your pedestal, you condescending little foreigner. You Biden people can gloat now, but I’ve read the Book. We win in the end.

Here’s one of your ilk. You’re a classy lot, aren’t you?

I give you my permission to have the last word, foreigner. I’m weary of your Slavic-accented nonsense.

It’s not if we stay out of it

Slavic mob wars shouldn’t be our concern

Right, so in WW2 we should have stayed out of that mob war?

If we had stayed out of WW1 there is a damned good chance there wouldn’t have been a WW2

It was France’s alliance with Russia that caused WWI to spread, otherwise, it would have just been between Germany, Austria-Hungary and Russia.

But the French didn’t want a “New Kid On The Block”.

Proudly voted for Reagan, and every Republican after that. Not sure how some repubs have turned into the peace at any cost party. Those were the crazy libs in my youth.

Back during Reagan’s time, America actually stood for something.

“Perpetual war is the goal

Is defending Taiwan also a “perpetual war”? “


The US major contractors like Raytheon admit they are dependent on thousands of Chinese sub-contractors to produce anything.

The USA can’t defend Taiwan.

It’s over.

If the US had stayed out it’s likely that the belligerents would have fought to a standstill and ultimately an armistice that would not have created the conditions that allowed hitler to gain power

Obviously can’t be sure of that but we had zero business getting into that one

And Britain should have stayed out too. She had her Empire, they needed a “Brexit” in 1914.

Not at all. It’s no secret the elites hate white men. Having them fight and kill each other only benefits globohomo.

I was told that Russia, along with China and Iran, were an Axis of Evil against America. With them helping Russia with stuff, there is no hope for Ukraine to outlast Russia in this War of Attrition.
