Not nonsense and you’re just pissed because you can’t counter cogently, but have to go half a world away to put some pitiful point forth.

No difference. We have Posse Comitatus that precludes the military from being used, but that doesn’t (didn’t stop) Ukraine from acting in the same kind of way Xiden is - sanctions, other non-military enforcement (fiscal, etc.).

As for “We obviously never asked or even suggested that happen, and if any nation would have offered, it would have been rejected out of hand,” there’s your trouble. Zelensky has been to everybody and his brother trying to get his no-fly zone: from NATO, from Germany, from EU, from the Canadian Parliament, from the US Congress to ANYBODY. And we do the same thing Ukraine could have done for us here in a non-combatant manner.....

What the holy hell are you talking about? You made some ridiculous point about "Ukraine didn't send troops to our southern border, so we shouldn't give them any aid against Russia", when the two situations have absolutely nothing to do with each other.

Fact is, the Ukrainian people as a whole have the domestic/political will to fight the Russians bitterly, and that's why they're fighting. We don't/didn't have the same for our own southern border, so we didn't.

But that's not the fault of the Ukrainians. That's our fault. We were perfectly capable as a nation of sealing that border if we wished. We just lacked the will.
