Putin believes that Ukraine belongs to Russia and wants to formalize that.
I would like to hear, exactly, what people’s objections to Russia controlling the Ukraine are.
Let’s say that Russia took over Ukraine peacefully, with most Ukrainians welcoming it, and their day-to-day lives staying the same or getting better.
What, then, would be the problem?
Just a cold war antipathy towards Russia?
It is a serious question.
Serious answers are welcome.
You mean like how the Ukrainians welcomed the Nazis originally as liberators?
Anyone who wants to fight Russia over the Ukraine is too stupid to make such decisions.
Gulf 1 only helped to push the idea of UN intervention and US ‘war’ without congressional declaration. It’s been downhill for decades. It can argued Sad was a buffer against iran and other actors in the area for years, and all of that is due for another thread. Pushing intervention without congersional declaration of war is unconservative and has helped to fuel US interventions across the globe, ie Haiti, Somalia, Macedonia, Libya, Yemen, etc.
Correcto Mundo! SOuthern border is open and we wan to protect Ukraine’s border with $30 TRILLION in debt?
Right now, with the woke, socialist and unguided Biden administration in charge I don’t think we can take the chance of getting involved in Ukraine other than providing equipment. Unfortunately I think that Biden would royally screw that up. Our military “leadership” is turning our armed forces into social justice non-warriors that are not combat ready.
The real story not being printed is that the Europeans want US to resist the Russians, because they fear the Russians. Trump, the guy from NYC, openly observed the obvious stupidity of how the EU has used the US for decades ....how EU wanted access to energy from Russia, but wanted the US to protect them from Russia.
EU ... yeh right ... go soft on the Iranians as well, making the US to be the bad guy.
BTW ... EU hates dealing with the Chinese and are really dependent on them ... guess what the want the US to do there?
Time to cut the cord with the EU. It will change them from socialists to democracy lovers faster than you could imagine.
And Biden has taken money from Chinese and American oligarch.
I can’t help but wonder what Putin thinks of a country and secretary of state that accused Russia of colluding with Trump in order to beat down Trump. Basically Hillary and the Democrats used Russia for this false flag. It is no wonder Putin is a little paranoid. We have nuts running the country.
Bull crap on providing the military equipment ... look what happened in Afghanistan.
I’m still struck by the idea that ‘conservatives’ would trust government. Even back in 2001. The knee jerk support of government has been the weirdest thing, but, I’m a youngster on this site.
Or did you consider an alternative perspections - that while HRC and demonkkkraps were “using Russia” to destroy Trump ... the reality was that Russia was using the stupid HRC and demonkkkraps to harm America?
Wonder if there are any family ties....just asking!
Substitute England for Russia, and the USA for Ukraine.
See the problem yet?
Ukrainians want to be free and not under Putins rule. They have been fighting a war since 2014. Fifteen thousand people have died with 1.5 million refugees.

What rational American would want to spend blood and treasure fighting a war in Eastern Europe that could go nuclear. America is not omnipotent and will never again have the power it had immediately after WW II. Its time for the good of everyone that the American people come to that realization. The American people will lose their liberty and wealth if they allow the globalists to win.
***President Trump was cheated out of office by both parties because***
Trump was a strong individual.. when he walked into a room, he filled it.. people watched him.. followed him.. and the “already permanent bigwigs in congress” could not stand a nobody to come in and take over... even in Europe they followed him... and to those congressmen, Trump was a dumb rich kid who did not deserve to have a place in history greater than they who strove for it all their lives.
They, in congress, thought only of themselves and their importance. Trump served the people... ya can’t match that with anything the elite was doing.
To the author.
“I wonder if you could explain why it is in America’s interest that their kids risk their lives in Ukraine.”
Putin Doesn’t want the entire Ukraine. He just wants the eastern, Russian Speaking part, and they would gladly join Russia.
Our relationship with Ukraine goes back 25 years max. Russia’s goes back 300 years.
If Counties in Washington want to join Idaho, or counties in Maryland want to join West Virginia, let them. What is the problem?
And what does America stand for today anyway?
The biggest threat to America is the rogue FedMob in DC.
I can’t support sacrificing American blood and treasure for freedom
in another nation until the threat here is fully eliminated.
