"The American people stand strongly with the people of Ukraine... The Ukrainian people need those MiGs, and they need them now they needed them yesterday." - Chair Stefanik
I’m with you brother. Voting for good candidates in may primary, but if they don’t make it, I’m out.
No more holding my nose for the least worst Republican.
Done.
“Are the Ukrainian people really being killed?”
If you can’t figure that much out you are in serious trouble.
“You can argue that innocent Iraqis and Afghans were killed in an attempt to “cull” the opposition to the US occupations…”
You COULD, but it would be a pretty stupid argument.
My take:
Help your friends and the helpless.
Do not interfere with your enemies when they are making mistakes.
You COULD, but it would be a pretty stupid argument.

Well, let’s not make the same argument in Ukraine, shall we?
I've done that plenty of times in the past too, but I will never again compromise my values to vote for the lesser of two evils.
Not me Sweetcheeks.
Every hour of every day the next 9/11 is pouring across the (former) southern border.
Apparently we’ve learned nothing in 20 years.
Tough shit. Their entire country is not worth the life of one US military member.
The border with Mexico, big difference
‘’but I will never again compromise my values to vote for the lesser of two evils’’.
Say what you want about Jerry Garcia, late of The Grateful Dead, as flawed a man as he was but he once said something very pertinent: ‘’When you choose the lesser of two evils you;re still choosing evil’’.
I was never a Grateful Dead fan despite having turned 18 in 1965, or knew much about Jerry Garcia, but his comment is right on. Thanks for sharing it.
Tough shit.
***I get it. We put one over on them. So when they build their own nukes and blow the hell out of 200,000 Russians, they’ll say exactly the same thing to them. And especially to us, when we ask them to de-nuke a second time.
Their entire country is not worth the life of one US military member.
***I understand the sentiment. It’s just that it is so vociferous NOW, after we are BETRAYING them, rather than being so loud when they’re giving up their own nukes. Sumthin about your pantywaist position just plain doesn’t add up.
The border with Mexico, big difference
***Basically a red herring, but hey, let’s go ahead and talk about it. None of your side wanted to:
The emBASEee strategee

So we have this thread.
To be candid, somewhere on FR I have even advocated this strategy towards Mexico. Set up a buffer zone between us and their Narco state. Intercept drug and human trafficking. The illegal colonizers are still caught in Mexico. They can have a taste of freedom in their own country.
Most folks don't know but back in their day, I'm talking the 70’s, 80’s and early 90’s the Dead did a lot of charity work for homeless vets, autistic kids and helping young talented musicians who had various musical styles get started by providing financial assistance, Yeah they were derided as a ''hippy drug band(like any other rockers never did drugs, right?) They did a lot of giving back and were always careful not to be showy about it. They're attitude was ''just do it'',
Is Stephie a Schwab Hitler youther?
Sweden is getting closer to joining NATO almost by the day.
Also, Ukraine has been making pretty good progress toward joining the EU. The EU is pretty “tight” about who they let in these days, making it an arduous process. Some of the southern European countries are getting to be quite a drag, and Brussels doesn’t want more of that.
Anybody who believe ANYTHING the Russkis say at this point is either a fool or a stooge. Not that Biden is much better.
Did we create 3 million (soon to be 5 million) refugees fleeing from Iraq?
We were VERY gentle with the Iraqi general population.
As far as “amazing” goes, where have you been? Handled poorly, this is either a possible (5% chance?) existential threat in the short term, or a sure fire existential threat in the long term. Multiple ways to get to that latter, too.
A one-way plane ticket from Washington DC to Warsaw would only be the tip of the cost iceberg to make such a journey. But, hey, if $411 is chump change to you, I’ll gladly PM you my address to send said amount to. It’d be really handy.
Freaking arrogant...
We are on the brink of global nuclear war. We are all in “serious trouble”.
You sound like the people who have been pushing the “vaccine” for the past two years.
“ You sound like the people who have been pushing the “vaccine” for the past two years.”
And that sounds like you are off of your meds.
Sez the Nazi Puffer.
lol..nice try. Putin Puffers are easy to spot and expose. Zero credibility
