“And therein you touch on one fundamental insanity of those opposing our support for Ukraine — they say: since we are not perfect as human beings, or as a political ideal, therefore we cannot legitimately defend our interests and help Ukraine against Russian aggression.”
Unless you’re a 5-year old, you know that WE PICKED THE FIGHTS with Russia and China. That is my question here, not whether we should now fight with a depleted military - it’s too late for that.
Again, the question is why pick the fight BEFORE arming up for it. All they had to do was arm-up for a few years, and they’d have half of Russia by now - that is my point - they were IDIOTS to pick the fight NOW...with hollowed out militaries.

It's complete rubbish & nonsense.
- Pearl Harbor was a legitimate provocation for war.
- September 11, 2001 was a legitimate provocation for war.
- Hitler's invasion of the USSR in 1941 was a legitimate provocation for war.
- Hitler's 1939 invasion of Poland in 1939 was a legitimate provocation for war.
I could go on and on -- nothing that happened from 2014 until today was a legitimate provocation for Vlad the Invader's invasions of Ukraine.
Vlad the Invader's claims he was "provoked" are just as valid as a rapist claiming he was "provoked" by a pretty girl.
It's insane, has nothing to do with reality. ![]()
