What war? The only war is in Slow Joe and the msm’s minds.

Hard to argue that sending troops to any country except non NATO countries is defensive but Russia amassing troops in its own country is offensive. Inconsistency in foreign policy is just one of the many failings with arguments against Russia right now.

The thing is, Russian troops already moved into southeastern Ukraine, in the Donbas area, in 2014. Russia currently has military elements in Ukraine, though Putin insists they “are not regular troops.”

That’s 7 years ago, going on 8. NATO needs to move troops now? NATO is simply not justified in their actions no matter how you try and spin it. Rolls reversed no one is saying the U.S or Europe wouldn’t be just as concerned as Russia is currently.

“That’s 7 years ago, going on 8.”

Yeah, and those elements — at least some of them — are still in southeastern Ukraine. Who do you think Ukrainian troops have been fighting in southeastern Ukraine? The “separatists” are not alone.

It is — though at this point on a smaller scale — not unlike what occurred in South Vietnam in the 1950s and 1960s. There, the VC (somewhat similar to the Ukrainian separatists) were carrying on a low-level fight against the Republic of Vietnam, with the Democratic Republic of Vietnam “assisting.”

I don’t really much care what happens in Ukraine. It is not our fight. I have no problem with arming them, but I would be very much opposed to introducing US troops in-country.
