the effort against the illegal, failing Russian invasion is NATO-led

Canada is a member of NATO, so we’re part of the discussion

but you know who isn’t in NATO? Ireland

so get lost Commie Irishman

You just can’t live with, nor are you able to acknowledge the fact that Ukraine was attacking its own people. Nazi’s are like that. They like purity.

They got what they asked for. It could have been solved without violence because Zelensky promised he would stop it, but he lied.

Re: "The US was still trying to work up the cajones to attack the Japanese home islands when the two atom bombs ended WW2."

Cajones?

Between June 1944 and April 1945, the USA successfully invaded France, Luzon, Iwo Jima, and Okinawa.

When the Pacific war ended in August 1945, my Dad, a battle field radar specialist, was training to invade Kyushu, Japan.

The Ukraine isn't a part of NATO, so your point isn't relevant.

But back to you, why does a foreigner like you think it's ok to lecture Americans on their foreign policy? Especially when our hard earned tax dollars are being wasted without an audit? Who do you think you are? No one I know would have the gall to do what you're doing here on a Canadian internet forum.

Yep, there’s something funny here. I do peruse other conservative forums, like The Donald, and they do not have nearly the problem with operatives as we do. Annoying, to say the least.

I never lectured you or anyone else on foreign policy, you’re lying once again

I merely pointed out that Russia is an ongoing menace, and that’s the only reason NATO still exists

that’s what gets you Russian shills so upset

... well, that, plus the fact that Russia keeps sucking on the battlefield LOL

No you didn't. You do much, much more than point things out. You appear on these threads and argue nonsensical points ad nauseam. The level of argument you bring makes it appear as if you are some kind of stooge, an operative in you will. The only thing that gives me pause is that you aren't very bright, so why on earth would anyone hire you for anything?

Of course! That’s why NATO waited until 1995, four years after the collapse of the Soviet Union to conduct any military operations. NATO invaded Serbia and Afghanistan because Russia is a threat to it’s neighbors.

Please, tell us more.

The globalist and neocon's next goal is China. It's a way of pivoting away from the failed proxy war in Ukraine and other Biden regime failures.

China is a threat to the well-being of this country because same elites pandered to business interests that allowed our manufacturing base to be gained and us reliant on the Chinese.

But, the globalist freaks seem intent on a dangerous military confrontation with China, which is not in our national interests.

"but, there would be no NATO if Russia wasn’t such a menace to every country in Europe ... can’t you see that?"

Here we have another example of someone totally convinced of a situation contrived by propaganda, deceit, and manipulation by their own government. It is frightening how ignorant people can become without researching both sides of the situation.

no, here we have someone trying to ignore the obvious, and make the situation seem more complicated than it really is

just because you’re too blind to see that Russia is a menace doesn’t mean everyone is like that

mosaicwolf Here we have another example of someone totally convinced of a situation contrived by propaganda, deceit, and manipulation by their own government. It is frightening how ignorant people can become without researching both sides of the situation.

As someone who lives in Poland and has lived here since 2010, I can tell you, mosaicwolf, that canuck_conser is not falling to any propaganda

Until 2014, Western Europe laughed at the warnings of Central Europe about Putin's aggression. But now they arem't

Forget about Western Europe - until 2020 my own opinion was that Russia would focus on its southern border - against Turkey, Azerbaijan etc. and make Syria a colony.

But that was wrong - Russia is keeping its imperialist mindset and is a threat to non-NATO countries (it invaded Georgia and Ukraine but doesn't date invade a NATO country)

Russians have not been concerning themselves with acreage acuired; they've been concerning themselves with number of nazis killed. Kind of like one of those steppe wars that Genghis Khan was always engaging in prior to his big conquests.

Ever wonder why Ukraine used to be called "Maloroccia"?? I mean, the place is roughly the size of Texas so that the answer to that one can't have anything to do with geography...

I've read one theory which said that the place was called "Little Russia" because the men in the place were all... I believe the term the guy used was "Conspicuously Underendowed". He said that was why hoho women were always looking for ways out, with or without any sort of a war going on...
