--- "I agree, but I don't think they should be shamed for it."

I am not shaming them, if you mean the average men and women. But that the current head of state was a comic with such a lot on video many replay for the fun of it -- after all, it was intended in fun to begin with -- then the target was ripe for the picking. As was the not-to-be-argued $83,000 a month an Idiot-in-Chief's son was pocketing for "consulting" in Ukraine before this horrid war.

I think it a very sad thing that young men die sometimes horrifically in battle. At the risk of seeming to needle you by going from the specific to the general, I include in that members of my own basic training group in the Army during the Vietnam era who "returned" in body bags before I was even past a few months tenure in olive drab. I was among the fortunate; they were not.

So who should be shamed? I think every damn leader in this mess right now. All of them.

Yeah, I hear he did “Bedtime for Bonzo.” Smirk...

I did not seek to imply you were denigrating them. If I
worded it so you thought I was, it wasn’t intentional.

I don’t know what Zelensky could have done differently than
he has once invaded. He didn’t cut and run, and at one
point it looked like Russia was going for the quick kill
in the capital.

Tell me what he could have done that you think would have
been a better act for the nation.

Yes, he did one stand up routine prancing as a homosexual.
Does that mean he is one? He’s married with kids, and as
far as I know they’re still functioning as a family.

Yes our kids did die in Vietnam, and plenty of folks could
say we shouldn’t have been there. I do look at South
Korea and what it became as a lofty goal. We’ve done a
lot of that over the decades.

Did our men who died in Vietnam lack valor? No. Do the
people in the Ukraine dying to defend their homeland lack
it? No.

I can think of one damn leader who should be ashamed, but
folks can’t stand the thought.

This academic for me, because I don’t see anything you
have posted I find to be a flagrant foul.
