In the weeks leading up to the Russian invasion of Ukraine, those warning of the possible dangers of U.S. involvement were assured that such concerns were baseless. The prevailing line insisted that nobody in Washington is even considering let alone advocating that the U.S. become militarily involved in a conflict with Russia.
That the concern was based not on the belief that the U.S. would actively seek such a war, but rather on the oft-unintended consequences of being swamped with war propaganda and the high levels of tribalism, jingoism and emotionalism that accompany it, was ignored. It did not matter how many wars one could point to in history that began unintentionally, with unchecked, dangerous tensions spiraling out of control. Anyone warning of this obviously dangerous possibility was met with the “straw man” cliché: you are arguing against a position that literally nobody in D.C. is defending.
Less than a week into this war, that can no longer be said. One of the media's most beloved members of Congress, Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-IL), on Friday explicitly and emphatically urged that the U.S. military be deployed to Ukraine to establish a “no-fly zone” — i.e., American soldiers would order Russia not to enter Ukrainian airspace and would directly attack any Russian jets or other military units which disobeyed. That would, by definition and design, immediately ensure that the two countries with by far the planet's largest nuclear stockpiles would be fighting one another, all over Ukraine.
Kinzinger's fantasy that Russia would instantly obey U.S. orders due to rational calculations is directly at odds with all the prevailing narratives about Putin having now become an irrational madman who has taken leave of his senses — not just metaphorically but medically — and is prepared to risk everything for conquest and legacy…

Nice. That gave me a good chuckle and is a keeper for future use. There is no shortage of opportunity here on FR with so many chowder heads spewing so much bravado.
How am I pushing for WW3? Think rationally for a moment.
What country have I advocated to invade?
Have I called for troops to enter Ukraine?
Is it because I support Ukraine's efforts to fight an aggressor? How does that make me the one "pushing" for WW3? Can you explain it in any rational way?
Actually, you are right!
I don’t like Putin, However it seems that Whatever force is behind this propaganda campaign is frighteningly intelligent. They seem to be goading Putin into creating another Eastern World Order with Middle East ambitions. Jews and Christians who are up on Bible Prophecy, know the scriptures of a Russian/Iranian/Turkish invasion of Israel. Is the NWO pushing Putin into fulfilling Ezekiel 38-39?
You do know he's playing both sides, right? He just wants millions dead and the global economy ruined, to set up his "Great Reset."
You do understand this, right? You are not a total retard?

Did Uncle Klaus make Russia invade Ukraine? Or are you just a nutbag?
Americans have become mostly stupid.
The term "Branch Covidians" -- one of the best descriptive terms I've seen here on FR -- was born soon after that.
Cardinal Vigano had an interesting piece about this the other day. He reviewed the recent history of the Ukraine and described all the meddling that the CIA, Soros, and other globalists have been involved in over there. He views the Ukrainians as dupes who are actually fighting a war other than the war they think they are fighting. The are not fighting for their freedom and national independence, but to be subsumed into a globalist New World Order.
I’m going to humble myself here and ask for help, because I fear I’m missing a funny joke: Who is the asterisked eyepatch dude in the picture?
Ergo you’re pushing for WWIII. Logic 101, you know.

Not our war
stay out
don’t provide weapons
neocons gonna neocon
That poster is not making an argument of "western weakness invited an invasion." They genuinely believe the West is pushing and causing the war in a grand conspiracy, with Putin as someone who has been "forced" to go to war due to Western aggression.
Cute
The west is pushing a war. Just the way it is.
😂
