“Just travel to Ukraine and see for yourself what Ukrainians are like.”
I don’t need to.
Just came back from Europe where millions of Ukrainians are refugees in Germany and elsewhere thanks to a war people like you thought was a good idea to instigate. I ran into several of them, including a young man whose parents were smart enough to get them out of Ukraine while he was still under 18 so that he doesn’t get killed in this senseless and stupid war.
What a great idea this was!!! https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/ukrainian-president-zelenskiy-holding-talks-with-biden-adviser-says-2021-12-09/ (Was it worth it?)
Let’s make this real clear: People like YOU caused this war. It is an unnecessary war, it was foreseeable that it would happen (especially post Rep. of Georgia 2008 and Ukraine 2014), and the outcome was predictable.
You cannot articulate a true national security argument for us without some make belief boogieman which does not exist.
You cannot tell me how the war has made me wealthier, safer or more free.
What argument do you have, other than name calling?
Now, it’s just a matter of time until the knuckle heads which caused this insanity (The Biden administration) disengages and a settlement is reached. I was hoping before the elections (end the pointless death and destruction), but with the tight control on the media nowadays that appears unnecessary and in fact it might be politically advantageous to keep this going until after the elections.
The end of this war will include No NATO for Ukraine, No EU (in reach before the war), 18% of Ukraine’s landmass lost, a population living in Ukraine going from 41 to 28 million, Ukraine’s most significant industrial area and the center of their steel industry being lost, tens of thousands dead, even more crippled (long term economic drain - a generation), a damaged infrastructure, exploding debt, an economy that shrunk by ~37% GDP, internal instability. Congratulations on your accomplishment, you are a true Ukrainian patriot!
I saw Biden's election as a turning point. Putin felt that he had an opportunity to conquer Ukraine because he sees Biden as a weak President. So he went for it.
So, you have zero personal knowledge of Ukraine. You’ve NEVER been there and want to dismiss the entire population based upon a few malcontents you found among refugees. All countries have malcontents including America.
People like me caused this war?!!! I did not invade the Republic of Georgia and Ukraine and constantly threaten other neighbors. Seems like you are pretty good at name calling. But the name of Neo-Stalinist fits you. You are filled with hate for freedom-loving Ukrainians and see no threat among those who attempt nuclear blackmail at every military reversal. You do not have a Texas heart to place victory laurels upon the brutal invader’s head. Like your screen name you are a Red as in a filthy stinking commie criminal.
