“…So, who should Western powers support?…”
**********************************************

They likely WILL support the Muslims. Anything to weaken the West (including the local Arminian Christians).

Not our circus, not our monkeys. Let them settle it themselves.

I’m with you and George Washington, no foreign entanglements.

Wish Trump was back. He would put Putin the mad dog killer in a cage.

“You are unbelievable. Shame on you.”

We should not be active participants in someone else’s scuffle. Had Ukraine adhered to the Minsk Agreement, Russia wouldn’t have intervened. I am no fan of Vlad’s, but if we actively support one side against the other with weapons, money, troops, whatever, then the other side is within their rights to prevent that support by any means necessary. Ukraine is the cookie jar of global governmental corruption. I want it shut down. The people that are all rah-rah Ukraine are the people at risk of being exposed for the corruptocrats they are. Remember the people who lied to us constantly for the last five years are the same people telling us what is happening over there. I no longer believe a word they say.

Anyone who has Tune-In radio app or built into their receiver should vote with their music listening.

I’m listening to a Ukranian station over the internet.

Just showing Ivan that Ukraine Ain’t dead.

If you prefer Russia, listen to an Ivan Station. The option is yours.

So the US deep-state, its puppets like Schiff, and NATO are mucking around in ethnic enclaves deep in the Caucus Mountains.

Tell me again how its a purely defensive organization.

Iran has continually bullied Azerbaijan, which opened the way for Israel to have a relationship with Azerbaijan. Ethnically, the A's are related to the Turks, so the Turks also support Azerbaijan. Turkey and Israel used to have good relations, but Erdogan changed all that. Erdo also found out the Iranians are his primary regional enemy.

Armenia should be an ally of Syria and Iraq as well, but both are pseudostates, and Syria's creaking dictatorship is propped up by the Iranians, with Russians and Turks also in-country. Also, it's not unlikely that most people in the US know someone of Armenian descent (including my favorite neighbors) and would prefer the success of Armenia. Tricky business -- but nations don't have friends and relatives, they have interests.

What's unbelievable are zombified war-mongers, who think that mucking around in distant lands, based on stupid propaganda from corrupt woke government and its cronies, somehow helps the interests of average Americans

Completely agree - not our monkeys, not our circus. Just because there is a flair up between a couple of nations somewhere on the planet, does not make it our problem. We have our problems that we are not dealing with. Throwing money, time, manpower at this area of the world is a waste, this is not our issue. Watch, but do not participate, be a truly neutral broker for peace, but that is it.

Putin is not our friend, but Ukraine and the Euros poked the bear once too often. Pushing Putin together with China over this patch of land is beyond globally stupid.

You’ve just described China (your country of birth) and Russia. Very conveniently, your views are advantageous for Chinese and Russian territorial goals. As China’s on and off friend for much of the last 100 years, Russian and Chinese interests run in parallel.

Average Americans have an interest in Ukraine because Russia is almost the size of the NATO countries *combined*. Whether in territorial or population terms, Russia and China combined are *bigger* than the NATO countries put together. We don’t need Russia getting any bigger.

We put up with Russian imperialism and its oppression of captive nations within itself and the Warsaw Slave Pact in the post-WWII period because we were tired of war. But the fact is that for the last 1000 years, Russia has been an ever expanding empire posing a threat to the free nations of the world, pausing in its expansion only when defeated by superior force wielded by the few effective alliances against it.

I have been saddened by all the "conservatives" on the Freerepublic who would do anything at all to stick their heads in the sand and wait until everything's all taken care of for them. The vast majority of these people would have no chance in hell of being required to fight anybody - but that doesn't keep them from reaching for their keyboards to loudly proclaim their renewed spirit of hyper-isolationism or even full-throated support of that insane dictator, Putin and all he stands for.

We are the world's preeminent force for freedom and we have had to wade into fights all over the world to stop the forces of evil - it's that simple. We are holding the wolf by the ears and we can't let go and hope somebody else saves us.

It is sad - but always the case - that if war does come for us, it'll be "somebody else's kids" that will sign up and fight, not these clowns.

I am saddened by “conservatives” that ignore the invasion of our country.
They just want to keep re-electing Amnesty Senators until the Assistant Democrats have assisted the Democrats to a permanent majority.
There wont be any more freedom anywhere once we fall.
