They were your words. You seem to be assigning yourself as a free American some superiority over the free Ukrainian. Maybe youre just not communicating your thoughts well here so feel free to explain further. But by my upbringing, ALL men are created equal. Therefore the rights we hold as given by God here in what we still (barely) call the land of the free, are also rights of other people’s in other nations.
I think you are splitting hairs when you say would ‘not ascribe morality to international affairs’.
This is one of those subjects that has arguments both ways, so the right answer will always be debatable. As a profitable blessed Christian nation (not so much these days), do we owe service to God and fellow man by stepping outside our own borders to provide aid when needed (including military for defense) to peoples in need? Or do we only look out for our own. I personally think that we are supposed to serve, though our service is very often taken advantage of. Nevertheless, and independent of what we decide to do, what God wants us to do is clearly spelled out. He does not want us to ignore evil.
“They were your words. You seem to be assigning yourself as a free American some superiority over the free Ukrainian.”
Not at all.
Ukrainians are free to fight to the last man, woman, child and dog if they wish. I’m not judging them either way.
I know if I were an American in 1812, that’s what I would do.
I don’t care a whit what Ukrainians do.
But I would not use the American war of 1812 as an example of what Ukraine is doing. I don’t believe it to be a good analogy and I would advise the neocon think tank to toss that one.
Phenomenal post! That’s old school American values.
Evil prospers when good men do nothing.
Or do we only look out for our own.
***That is kind of the Me First mentality extended to America, AmericaFirst. It is sort of utilitarianist in outlook.
I perceive that it is in AmericaFirst best interest to do what we can to reduce nuke proliferation across the globe. Hence, it was right for us to denuke the Ukes, assure their borders and sovereignty, and wrong for the Rukes to invade and take their oil & gas reserves.
Of course, as an AmericaFirster, I think we should be following the emBASEee strategee

and the Lend Leasee strategee, the BBudapest AAgreement LLend LLease approach which would take BALLs.
