Don’t be bullied by any Lurker’s bullying, AC. Think for yourself. And try not to apply a priori thinking to this issue. Hint: You already think we shouldn’t get involved so you conclude we shouldn’t get involved. But did you think we should get involved when we denuked the Ukes? Of course we shoulda got involved, it was the right thing to do at the time and it’s the right thing to do now, honor that agreement in the face of obvious tyrant bullying and invasion to take another country’s natural resources, and just plain kill lots of civilians.
Oh, and how about our previous, CIA-driven, coup in Ukraine? How do you classify that?
When you're operating based on principles, a priori thinking is typical. It's the same approach I took to COVID lockdowns, masks, useless "vaccines," etc. It just means that everything is a bad idea until I'm convinced it's a good idea. It's served me well.
But did you think we should get involved when we denuked the Ukes?
It didn't matter to me one way or another, as I remember it at the time. By 1994 I had already grown skeptical that the U.S. government was worthy of blanket approval for any steps it took in foreign affairs.
... it was the right thing to do at the time and it’s the right thing to do now, honor that agreement in the face of obvious tyrant bullying and invasion to take another country’s natural resources, and just plain kill lots of civilians.
The agreement was that Ukraine would not have nuclear arms, and as signatories of the NPT the U.S. and Russia both agreed that we wouldn't give Ukraine any nuclear arms or help Ukraine develop them. Who is failing to honor that agreement right now?
