I think he went out and bought a copy of “Nuclear War for Dummies” at his local Ukemart.
They could have had that long ago and no war. Minsk Agreement. The Ukrainians signed it, then refused to implement it with our encouragement. So here we are ...
You ever see man on the street interviews with folks about just rudimentary knowledge on geography and politics
Incredibly stupid populace
They could be convinced of anything
Whoever controls the daily info spigot of soundbites they see beyond kardashian YouTube shorts
Zelensky wouldn’t have done this without the US encouraging it. I think the Neocons are worried the EU is going soft and thus they decided to take the Nordstream pipelines out and are now pushing for Ukraine’s ascension into NATO so as to force NATO troops into this war.
Yes
And most people couldn’t even locate Ukraine on a map.
If glad would sign off on that great!! I just gotta break it down to the basics on this... I mean what would we do if Canada signed a military pact with Russia or China? I don’t think we’d be too happy about it!!
“ But the majority do want to support Ukraine in some way.”
You make this a big war, with wmd’s flying around…that “majority” disappears like beach front property in a hurricane.

no we wouldnt be happy, but we wouldnt use it as a pretext for a land grab either.
We've learned in the last six months that Russia is not the power we thought, or they claimed. Yet, they very likely hold a few cards yet to play. Is there any doubt we could beat them in an all-out war? Probably not, but has anyone figured out what the cost of a war with Russia would be? And does anyone really want to pay that price?
Sure go ahead. And we will give nukes to Ukraine.Sounds fair.
Does he also want to buy hurricane insurance for a beach house in Fort Myers?
In 1914 WWI started with each side convinced it would be all over by Christmas.
Well, they were right, Christmas of 1918.
Well I’m no global scholar but I thought the pretext was the increased Western presence and fringe groups aka Nazis that started the saber rattling and then our administration’s running off at the mouth. ??
Europe already Shanghaied the rest of the world into two of their inter-tribal squabbles. Looks like they are prepared to do it again.
Sort of like buying homeowners insurance after your house catches fire.
Russia still wants the rest of the Black Sea coast.
It would seem so
Yes Kazan GUARENTEED it would be so!
