Good point. I would prefer if the US was known as peacemakers, there were a few times in the past this may have held true but unfortunately things have changed, and not for the better.

“With all the “specimens” of advance military equipment (manpads, anti-armor, drones, etc.) and assorted documentation that corrupt Ukrainian elements will CERTAINLY be selling to the ChiComs.”

The Chinese already got a treasure trove of our stuff from the Afghanis.

True. But since the Taliban didn’t have aircraft and armored vehicles we did not give our Afghan “allies” the advanced high-tech manpads and anti-armor technologies that we’re giving the Ukrainians by the thousands. ChiCom agents are no doubt having a field day buying specimens from the corrupt Ukrainians.

When Biden said a “limited excursion” would be okay (one of the stupidest comments by a head-of-state in 100 years), Putin knew he had free rein.

“True. But since the Taliban didn’t have aircraft and armored vehicles...”

Yes, they did; we left some of those, as well. Did you ever see that video of the Taliban trying to operate one of the Apache gunships? It was hysterical.

Ooops, it was a Black Hawk, not an Apache.

Honestly....we ought to give Taiwain a bunch of nukes with missiles. That would be the end of any Chinese threat to take Taiwain by force. Beijing could huff and puff about it all they want but we wouldn’t even need to get involved anymore. The message Tapei could send them would be quite clear - “try to invade us and the forces you send will be nuked.....and maybe Beijing and Shanghai get erased from the map.”

I have to laugh at the use of “you folks”. You act like the only people who think they have justifiable nukes is us. Our nukes ain’t gonna hurt nobody so it is all okay.

I hate all nukes. I also hate China and their nukes.

If countries start using nukes we are all dead anyway.

A nuke is a nuke. Deflection from what?

The Russian apologists never answer direct questions. It's always answering a question with a question or a "well, but what about" deflection.

You gave the classic response.

Oh yes, you are such a brilliant follower of the Biden gang. You take up for that clown Zelensky our whirreled hero. Or should I say elensky since Z has now been outlawed by self righteous dorks like you.
