I cannot stand people like you. You have no evidence so you just scream, "YOU'RE ONE OF THEM!" when someone holds an opinion you don't like. Just STFU. I will ignore you from now on.
MTG is a loser
Thanks for your post.
I personally don’t know one single person who supports this insanity.
I’m around people all day, every day. Of course I don’t ask anyone directly what their personal view is, but the subject does comes up very often.
I’ll let you know if I should encounter a Zelensky supporter. 😁
Hope all is well with you and your bride. 🙃
It’s a war of attrition, where soldiers and civilians on both sides die, while the military industrial complex gets rich.
Same as it ever was.
Same as it ever was.
Rinse and repeat.
I think you completely misunderstand what drove the political aftermath of both military campaigns (1990 and 2003). The human toll was greatly overshadowed by the economic dysfunction here at home while all of this was going on.
Even among "Zelensky supporters," one finds some European "supporters" backing away.
For the avid Z-supporters, I cite ONLY Z-media:

Absolute fake bias globalist warmonger poll...
No wonder!
Things look quite different when a war of this coming magnitude is so close to home.
Ukraine’s parliament voted to remove President Viktor Yanukovich from office, hours after he abandoned his Kyiv
The impeachment, which was backed by 328 of the 447 deputies, argues that Yanukovich abused his powers.

Your being dishonest, no surprise, by not stating the reason.
France and Italy are not "backing away" from supporting Ukraine, but are going to buy their weapons for Ukraine from European producers, in order to support European industries.
The French government will not join the initiative because of its emphasis on piecing together Europe's defense industrial base,

Don’t bother arguing with this one.
He is arguing on a preschool level and has never taken the time to get a proper education.
Which makes the U.S. "support" for Ukraine extraneous and irrelevant. See Post #44.
What US support? You and Greene seem to not understand Trumps deal. European countries are going to BUY US weapons and ship them to Ukraine.
Whether it’s winnable doesn’t matter. What matters is whether Americans will be helped by our involvement in a leftist supported war where neither nation is our enemy. We are not the world’s policeman.
Go back to Post #44. I'll be shocked if this actually happens in consequential numbers.
Most of these countries have steadfastly refused -- for years -- to meet their "5% of GDP" NATO commitment. What makes you think they're suddenly going to start doing it now by purchasing U.S. military hardware? LOL.
What has NATO offered regarding membership? The USA needs to get as far away from NATO as possible.
Nato commitments were supposed to be 2% which I believe all NATO coutries reached this year.
Trump got all of NATO (except Spain) to agree to 5% in 2035
In 2025, all Allies are expected to meet or exceed the pre-summit target of investing at least 2% of GDP in defense, compared to only three Allies in 2014.
At the 2025 NATO Summit in The Hague, Allies made a commitment to investing 5% of Gross Domestic Product (GDP) annually on core defence requirements and defence- and security-related spending by 2035.

I agree with everything she said here.
