If the west can continue to get weapons, ammo and other supplies to the Ukrainians the Russians will have a very difficult time.

Need an alien attack to test this because no other force can do to the US what Russia is doing to Ukraine.

I heard there were 3000 volunteers from the US so far.

The Japanese are also getting in on the action, with at least 50 former SDF soldiers going to Ukraine.

What does any of that have to do with Ukraine, troll? A million bad things going on in the USA has nothing to do with a Soviet KGB thug, who is an ally of every single one of our enemies abroad like North Korea and Iran, invading Ukraine.

You’re right. I’m a *troll*

And I guess what makes me a *troll* is that my position on a topic is different than yours. What if...YOU’RE the *troll*?

Anyway, the 1/6 political prisoners are SO last year.

Not this one. Too many problems at home, and although I have yet to do a deep dive into some of the history leading up to this; I don’t trust what we’re hearing from the news, social media, and politicians. In my personal opinions, something is horribly wrong in all this, and you have millions of people taking a side for some cause they in all likelihood know nothing about.

Cry harder for me, troll. We've been getting told by the Putinists on this forum that if we believed Russia was going to be invaded, that we are Biden koolaid drinkers.

Now the Russians are invaded and we still have to deal with you freaks spamming the threads with your "you're a NeoCon warmonger" trash.

To give you a spoiler alert there are no good guys in any of this.

It’s a centuries old blood feud that started long before there ever was a United States of America that’s for sure and if we weren’t here this would still be going on.

Like Bosnia and Kosovo and places in other parts of the world like the Arab Middle East. We blunder into ethnic and religious wars in places most Americans have never heard of and assume that which ever side is getting the worst of it must be the underdog.

We never consider if the person getting the beating might actually deserve it.

But here, no. There’s blood everywhere here and we have no business getting involved in it.
No more pointless wars.

I remember the exact same thing from 2014 when Russia initially invaded. There was a fog of war, a lot of information coming in, but to honest people it was clear it is an invasion.

Then there was this one case when a picture of one bearded guy was posted a lot in the internet and it was said this is some famous Russian special forces guy. That turned out not true. It was just a similar-looking guy.

After that the Putinistas were spamming day and night about how everything is false. Putin was still denying the invasion at that time.

Of course afterward Putin admitted that yes, Russia really invaded. He even gave out medals to the participating troops. Putinistas showed no remorse and admitted no wrongdoing.

It's like this comic strip

So sad they aren’t willing to go defend their own border. Just virtue signaling from woke military members because they know there is no way for them to get to the fight.
