Hillary Clinton is banging the drums for the United States to get involved in a European war. In her trusty opinion, as a former crack Secretary of State, we should "arm an insurgency to repel Russia's invasion of Ukraine. Here is Hillary's take on the subject:
So, I think we have to watch this carefully. We have to provide sufficient military armaments for the Ukraine military and volunteers. And we have to keep tightening the screws.
Clinton is an expert on tightening the screws and screwing over Americans trapped in Benghazi. Ringing any bells? Sean Smith, Ty Woods and Glen Doherty died in 2012 defending Americans abandoned on her watch. When questioned about that debacle at a later date, Clinton said, "...At this point what difference does it make?" Ambassador Stevens, if he were still alive, might respond, "It makes a hell of a difference to me!"
I trust Hillary Clinton's opinion about as much as eating Sushi, from a broken vending machine in an abandoned gas station in Mississippi in the middle of July.
We also "tightened the screws in Afghanistan." That pointless war lasted 20 years and drained America of trillions of dollars and thousands of American lives. When Biden skedaddled out of Afghanistan he abandoned 84 billion dollars of sensitive military equipment and left Americans behind, at the mercy of the Taliban. Thirteen brave US service members were sent on an ill-conceived mission to Kabul and returned in flag-draped transfer cases to Dover Air Force Base. As their bodies were solemnly removed from the plane, President "houseplant" Joe Biden was observed checking his watch.
I recommend that we keep our valuable men and women soldiers out of foreign conflicts as long as possible. I am not anti-war, just anti-stupid wars which our feckless leaders seem to relish. Even the Bible states that, "There is a time to love and a time to hate; a time for war and a time for peace."
Fighting Russia over Ukraine is the wrong war, at the wrong time in the wrong place.
Linda Goudsmit observed,
For me, the Russian/Ukraine events are staged political theater designed to deflect public attention away from Biden's demented incompetence and the pandemic and refocus public attention on the fearsome specter of war...It is a shell game, and the con is to deflect attention from the shell with the pea.
The shell with the pea is China. We should be extremely concerned with China's military build-up and aggressive posture in the Pacific. We financed and built the Chinese war machine with cheap imports and exports of our invaluable stolen, sensitive, military technology secrets.
War is a necessary evil and we must be prepared to defend this great nation. It is imperative that we expect the best from other countries and prepare for the worst.

We've worked hard to make Russia our enemy and the Russians in a position where they had to respond militarily in Ukraine.
Sounds like an abuser explaining to the cops why he "had" to beat his wife. No, Russia did not have to invade the Ukraine. What were they afraid would happen if they didn't invade Ukraine? Ukraine was never going to invade Russia, a nuclear-armed country, regardless of whether it was accepted into NATO or not. Ukraine did not even meet NATO's requirements for military capacity and lack of internal conflicts, so Putin's concerns about Ukraine joining NATO were a moot point.
If anything, there is now discussion of allowing Ukraine into NATO in spite of its not meeting requirements because of the invasion. So Putin may well have created the very situation he was hoping to prevent with this invasion. The same invasion you assured me on February 2 was a narrative invented by the Biden administration to distract the American people from his failures.
Russia Invades the US
Russia should have contented itself with the 6.5 million square miles of land it already has. Here in America we make do with just 3.8 million square miles.
I think they are still showing "What Fits into Russia" to this day...
Why? The right war is with China.
If you think Pooty-Poot isn't cozying up to China and negotiating with Xi far more competently than Heels Up and the dementia patient, I've got a bridge to sell you.
He is, thanks to our stupid policies of the last 30 years with regard to Russia.
You aren’t seeing the big picture or the historical one.
You know, up until I read this post, I was willing to give you the benefit of the doubt. Now I think the other Freepers were right about you: you are a Russian troll. Enjoy your rubles, comrade!
You aren’t seeing the big picture or the historical one.
The historical picture is that Putin is trying to recreate the USSR before he departs this earth. If he had a beef with NATO, he could have just cut them off from Russian oil and natural gas and brought Europe to its knees without firing a shot. That he chose invasion instead shows his plans are not just about thumbing his nose at NATO.
Yep. Putin now has a guerrilla war on his hands or will once he completely destroys the cities. The remaining Ukrainians will be armed with rifles and make the remaining Russians lives shortened.
Dear Mrs. Bill Clinton,
Maybe it would’ve helped if you hadn’t given all of those Secret and Top-Secret documents to the Russians, the Chinese, the Iranians, and anybody else with the easy-peasy technology to grab them from your UNSECURE server.

You are so full of Putin’s propaganda lines you can’t think straight.
“We must be prepared to defend this nation”
Let’s start by assigning ship drivers who aren’t having cat fights over a boyfriend.
Please explain. Why did Russia have to invade Ukraine?
“We have been working in cooperation with Russia under Putin for decades. Hell if it was not for Russia there would be no space station”
Which has ZERO to do with the situation in Ukraine, nor does it counteract all the matters we have continued to disagree with and contend against Russia, including sanctions that began when Putin took Crimea and occupied to areas of Eastern Ukraine.
“You might want to look-up the Russian form of government, it is very similar to our own.”
LOL, On paper, but not in function under Putin. Can you really be that gullible???
“And now that we forced them into a corner in Ukraine with NATO threats we blame them for what they believe is defending their country.”
It is Putin’s threats against the former Soviet states that leads them to seek NATO membership, and Ukriane is no different in that regard and has been most threatened by Putin just for getting rid of his puppet and electing their own leaders that don’t bow to Putin. Putin is not “defending” Russia, and Ukraine never made any offensive measures toward Russia. Putin just wants to resurrect the Soviet/Russia empire, as if he has a “natural” right to and against the wishes of the populations he wants to control.
“Now there are valid claims of bio-labs in Ukraine funded by us. Granted it’s a question of he said she said at this point. “
1. A claim is not evidence and 2. a “biolab” is in of itself not evidence of making biological weapons. We have secure biolabs in the U.S. and there is no evidence that all of them are making biological weapons. The “biolab” “news” (old “news” really) is a diversion Putin is using as excuse for his actions and it unbelievable how many in the U.S. are falling for it.
THERE IS NOTHING that justifies Putin’s bombing and occupying Ukraine, NOTHING.
We have no national interest in Ukraine. It’s a distraction for our problems at home.
On the other hand China is going bee a threat for the foreseeable future. That will be a war like we haven’t seen before. Expect lots of casualties of Americas finest.
You print your opinion as fact, glossing over the actual facts. If the American government is so innocent in all this, why are they hiding the facts? Why is the media reporting everything they are told by the government as unquestionable facts? Every time we question anything, were labeled as conspiracy freaks. Yet every time, the conspiracies are proven true. You are the one being naive and refuse to see the evidence right in front of you. My God, the government has now reluctantly admitted there are bio-labs in Ukraine after stating as fact they did not exists. And I got news for you, covid is a man made crisis that was used by the government and media to take our rights away. That just a fact. But somehow they are telling us the truth about Ukraine? And you call me gullible, LOL.
Why do you keep ranting inanities???
