The government says it is handing out 18,000 machine guns to "all those who want to defend our capital".

Never said I was.

Yes you did, you either align with one side or the other, there is no middle. All your comments have been pro Putin and pro Russia and anti Ukraine.......

Just having a gun won’t help against trained soldiers.
You need training to shoot and hit the target. You need training so you don’t freeze and get shot first. You need training in tactics. and you need bullets and the ability to reload under stress.

Few civilians have that type of training, unless they’ve been in the military. Even training as cops isn’t adequate because tactics are different.

I’m aligned with not getting into a war, especially one that would go nuclear.

I like the Ukrainian people, I like the Russian people, I know both. Ukrainian gov needs to go though. They should of done it themselves.

Ditto for Belarussians, they came close, maybe if there’s some good from all this, all three governments can be replaced.

But keep Soros far far away.

Ukrainian gov needs to go though. They should of done it themselves.

I know both peoples also. The Russians I know have no desire to take over the Ukraine and the Ukrainians have no desire to be taken over by Russia.

So that gets back to my original question, why are you so insistent that the Ukraine give up their sovereignty to Russia and your demand that their president surrender himself to Putin unless of course that you apparently a Putin apologist..............

[Aut Pax Aut Bellum]

I am working from home. Covid and all. Can they just ship me mine?

[Bulwyf]

I don’t care about Putin, I don’t care about any of it except I don’t want to be in it.
