I thought the lesson of Viet Nam is that you don’t cut off aid and let the bad guys win. Our soldiers actually won the war. It ended in a peace treaty. Then North Viet Nam invaded and the Democrat congress cut off aid to South Viet Nam.

BTW In 1975, Biden was among 16 Senators to vote against extending aid, although the measure passed in the Senate. The bill was then defeated in the House and aid was cut off.

I remember at the Gulf War rallies the counter protesters chanting NO MORE VIETNAMS! Now most of them are chomping at the bit to get us in Ukraine.
🎶WAR! UH! what is it good for, absolutely nothing! Ah ha ah ha🎶
🎶well come on all of you big strong men (and those of any other gender), PedoJoe needs your help again, got himself in a terrible jam, way down yonder in Ukraine 🎶
🎶All we are saying is give peace a chance 🎶
War hurts children and other living things".
They were full of 💩 then and they're full of 💩 now

Yes. they forgot. They never learned in the first place.

The fools are bird brains (don’t mean to insult birds).

Sure. This is heading directly to the same outcome as all the others.

What was it that Enstien said about fools and doing the same thing over and over??

The war is 19 months old.

NATO supplies the weapons. Ukraine fights. Russian military gets so shot up it has to spend the next two or three decades rebuilding.

No US combat boots have been on the ground ground for the last 19 months. No need for them now or the future either.

Deal with it.

It’s laughable that anyone to the right of Gavin Newsom or AOC would listen to a thing RFK has to say. He is a socialist who is a one trick pony to some low information anti vax people.

There is no basis to this story.
RFK is simply trying to stir up the pot for attention.

more scare-mongering

don’t need to send US military advisors, Ukraine understands modern warfare quite well

(unlike the South Vietnamese Army)

apples & oranges
