My fear is more like Operation Linebacker in Vietnam. How many billions did we manage to flush for the Military-Industrial folks before we had folks hanging on helicopters to leave there?
OK, you win. I’m for the ouster of Petrochenkov. Oh, wait....
I see, so not only can you do a seance to commune with the dead Reagan to know what his opinion is on current events, you also have psychic powers to know exactly what the opinion is of millions of people you don’t know and haven’t spoken to.
Either that or are you are really good at convincing yourself of things you have no way of knowing.
Maybe your way of discerning truth is broken
To be a little less flippant:
Would you rather elect Trump or Desantis in two and a half years, or have your entire nation laid waste by a nation which murdered 1/3 of your nation’s population 80 years ago, citing the Biden election, going forth and bombing every one of America’s major cities?
IOW: Yes, Petrochenkov and Soros did terribly evil things in Ukraine, but that doesn’t make Russia’s invasion justifiable.
This is a scam to build weapons. This is not true at all. Men are leaving Ukraine. Some crazies are going there. But they shot their wad with regard to Ukrainian men. If a million people show up in front of Russian guns they will be foreigners. Probably they will be from Syria or Africa. But they will not be Ukrainian men. Those men are already there. Or they have stolen away to other countries. But there are not new ones ready to fight.
This story is merely created to get governments like ours to provide funding to weapons makers and Ukraine. Its a money pit. And we are destroying the country. Ukraine will be unlivable and certainly not populated by Ukrainians when this thing is through.
Ukraine wasn’t a nation then, nor for many, many centuries before it.
The soviet union wasn’t Russia, and Stalin wasn’t even Russian. Anyone who disagreed with Stalin would be disappeared along with their family.
It is absurd and insane to collectively blame Russia forever for what Stalin did.
By the way, most of the people who implemented the Holomodor directly were... Ukrainian. Not that I blame them, see previous statement about Stalin’s totalitarian terror meaning they had little real choice
Russia’s invasion is not justifiable. But neither is ours. If we were not in Ukraine Russia would not be in this fight. They would be working with Ukraine.
Right. They are now conscripting women.
Also Russia resisted fiercely the takeover by the communists, there was a civil war, the white’s vs the red’s.
You might also consider that Russians suffered not less terribly than the Ukrainians from the soviet communists.
Putin's invasion of Ukraine is wrong. See? Its easy to say if you're honestly supporting Ukraine.
So? Poland wasn’t a nation from 1795 to 1918, so they don’t have a right to exist?
Is that why Crimea, Luhansk, and Donetsk seceded from Ukraine? Because they hate Russia? They must have invited Russian forces to help against Kiev for the same reason…correct?
Little green men from Russia.
By April 2014, Russian citizens had taken control of the separatist movement, and were supported by volunteers and materiel from Russia, including Chechen and Cossack fighters. According to DPR commander Igor Girkin, without this support in April, the movement would have fizzled out, as it had in Kharkiv and Odessa

And I “aim” to win a Pulitzer. Not gonna happen.
Zalensky is brilliant. He has figured out the scam. Ukraine is now money laundering pit in the world #1, replacing Switzerland.
Perhaps people need to pay attention and realize the Liberal World Order of Western nations is the new USSR empire reborn and every bit as oppressive and as evil, maybe more so, since the advent of tech, than the old empire.
Wrong is wrong no matter what people or nations want to call themselves. Anyone can declare their country a “democracy”. But they really are not and you know it. To say otherwise would be a lie.
We have two sides here and no side is saints.
Kinda late now. Cannon fodder? Tossing a million at the front with no plans reminds me of the 1980’s Iran/Iraqi war, lotta dead.
