Seems like USAF support for air cover could be based in Germany (less than 1k miles from Kyiv). Boots could touch ground there.

That' so dopey!

That 'kids' that are going to war are already there, and they're there because your man Putin decided that Ukraine was so pretty and delicious looking, and easy-pickings . The 'kids' doing the fighting are Ukrainians and your friends, the Russian.

Pay attention!

The usual tedious smear job. Call anyone who supports peace negotiations a Putin supporter. It’s a Democrat tactic meant to bully and silence debate.

..... Let those engagements be observed in their genuine sense. But, in my opinion, it is unnecessary and would be unwise to extend them.

Taking care always to keep ourselves by suitable establishments on a respectable defensive posture, we may safely trust to temporary alliances for extraordinary emergencies.

Harmony, liberal intercourse with all nations, are recommended by policy, humanity, and interest. But even our commercial policy should hold an equal and impartial hand; neither seeking nor granting exclusive favors or preferences; consulting the natural course of things; diffusing and diversifying by gentle means the streams of commerce, but forcing nothing; establishing (with powers so disposed, in order to give trade a stable course, to define the rights of our merchants, and to enable the government to support them) conventional rules of intercourse, the best that present circumstances and mutual opinion will permit, but temporary, and liable to be from time to time abandoned or varied, as experience and circumstances shall dictate; constantly keeping in view that it is folly in one nation to look for disinterested favors from another; that it must pay with a portion of its independence for whatever it may accept under that character; that, by such acceptance, it may place itself in the condition of having given equivalents for nominal favors, and yet of being reproached with ingratitude for not giving more. There can be no greater error than to expect or calculate upon real favors from nation to nation. It is an illusion, which experience must cure, which a just pride ought to discard......

It's not a smear job if it's the truth. Learn the difference and stop being so ignorant.

Call anyone who supports peace negotiations a Putin supporter.

Putin does not support peace negotiations, and he proves it on a daily basis. Anyone that believes Putin wants peace is delusional and ends up supporting Putin by denying that basic fact or truth.

It’s a Democrat tactic meant to bully and silence debate.

Support of a bully and an aggressor and a warmonger, does not deserve the basic freedoms and protections of democracies. Do you think a criminal deserves the protections of a democracy? Criminal are put in prisons and have their rights taken away. Putin should be in prison or should have met his maker (Satan) a long time ago. In the U.S., if you support a criminal, you could be brought up on charges of aiding and abetting a criminal. Aiding and abetting a war criminal is no different.

It’s a smear job when you falsely call people who support peace negotiations Piutin supporters. Your crowd has been doing that since the war started. It’s a nasty Democrat tactic.
