That's why I said Christianity has nothing to do with it.

One day, I think you will even see that supporting Ukraine was supporting evil. Evil that was no better or worse than Russia had become after the fall of the Soviet Union. Supporting evil only begats more evil.

Was Russia prefect? Absolutely not, but it was headed in the right direction until we decided to engage in a proxy war with Russia using Ukraine in order to weaken Russia which hopefully would lead to total unrest where Putin was removed. It resulted in sending Russia into the arms of our enemies.

They really had no plan, and the plan they did have was woefully inadequate, which is becoming more & more evident. It was a major blunder on the geopolitical scale that will go down in history as a disastrous turning point for humanity itself. The previous one was to allow China to become a communist nation after WWII. We should have finished the job over there. Then when the Korean war broke out, we again allowed the opportunity to right the wrong evade us & we did not finish the job. But like this mistake, the mistake of giving China most favorite nation status in the WTO, and allowing them hollow out our manufacturing base on the alter of Gaia has put us where we are today, and it is not a pretty place we are in to be sure.

But sadly, people like Linda Graham, and the majority of the Democrats & RINOs thought waging the war in the manner we had chosen was a brilliant plan, because it only took our financial treasure (which was predicated upon being the world's reserve currency because we were rushing our nation towards bankruptcy with uncontrolled spending) while leaving our human treasure at home. Not that I was for putting the human treasure in harms way yet again. Therefore, the only sound solution would have been not to start the ill-advised proxy war in the first place. Because putting Ukraine in the position to wage war against Russia was not a wise decision at all. Especially when it had become abundantly clear that China was the far bigger threat to our nation than was Russia, by a large margin.

Does Ukraine declaring its neutrality and the war with Russia having come to a peaceful resolution before an invasion had ever taken place, perhaps look a little more appealing to you in hindsight? Does, making Russia side with the West also make a lot more sense as well?

If not, then something is wrong with you I'm sorry to say.

LOL, so much nonsense in that, you are way off base on your thinking about all this.

Because putting Ukraine in the position to wage war against Russia defend itself against a surprise attack by Russia was not a wise decision at all.

On the contrary: It was a necessary decision.

Putin must be taught a lesson: That invading peaceful neighboring countries and annexing vast swathes of their territory will not be rewarded.
