You are jealous, because you don’t know the streets of Alchevsk, Kharkov, Lugansk, and Kiev. My wife is one of those Russian-speakers in the eastern Ukraine but she also speaks Ukrainian. Her grandmother spoke an intergradient between the two languages.
Did you know that minor administrators and bureaucrats in city services and clinics in the occupied areas are forced to join “the party” and its name is United Russia? Did you know outspoken Ukrainians are disappered (in the Latin American sense)? Did you know the Russian check not only papers and documents but peoples’ phones to see what they have been reporting? Did you know that the forceful conscription of Donbas teens and young men is literally done at the point of a gun on the street? Did you know that the cemetery in Alchevsk is growing at a very fast rate because new conscripts get little training and are killed at a very high rate?
The official U.S. Congressional “Money Laundry Mat” must remain safe, secure and open for business regardless of all costs and whatever it takes. How else are our beloved, esteemed congresscritter rulers gonna retire multi-millionaires if the “laundry mat” gets closed down?
Ya don’t want your favorite congresscritter running around looking like one of the low-life, common “unwashed masses” now do you ya? Well, do ya? /S
Yep. Just keep the war going inside Ukraine until it looks like Syria, John McCain's big success story.
Thank you. Well said. I remember those Russian behaviors and policies from Cold War studies.
“US sending advanced rocket systems to Ukraine”
Biden told reporters on Monday that the U.S. was “not going to send to Ukraine rocket systems that strike into Russia,”
Another walk back by Biden himself this time?
if we aid Russia, we hurt Ukraine.
if we aid Ukraine, we hurt Russia.
on the surface, there does not appear to be much difference, but Russia is much bigger than Ukraine, so if we want to keep them both as weak as possible, the strategy would be to aid the weaker against the stronger.
if we do nothing, the stronger (Russia) wins and becomes even stronger, as well as poised to begin an invasion of its next victim. This too does not seem very viable as a long term solution.

Are you pretending that the Ukrainian side doesn’t do anything like that? Update yourself on what the civil war is.
If Ukraine is paying us for weapons that we gave them to begin with then we’re not selling them weapons were giving them weapons. And you have to remember that Putin is not a Washington DC politician who says things just to say that I wanna point something out to all of you; that nations that have come out of Socialism and communism like Russia understand the value of telling the truth, something is the Western countries have yet to learn. For that reason I take Putin very seriously when he says that there will be consequences for sending these weapons in for all the countries involved.
Is NOT a civil war. It is a criminal war of aggression. First with the dirty war started by Russia with its fake “separatist” movements. Then with the all-out invasion supported by criminal thugs like yourself. You are soooo smart that you said Kiev would fall within days and that was over two months ago. There are heaps of Russian rotting corpses since then and you are still a criminal for both countries because you support the aggression that is destroying Russia and killing innocents in the Ukraine.
I'm very sorry for your family's trouble. I mean that sincerely.
But this is the United States of America. We have our own problems to deal with. Adding another war on behalf of alien peoples is not anywhere on my to do list.
