Here we go
Sally, you are arguing EXACTLY what Putin has arguing, forewarning, and warning NATO and the West about.....Ukraine is a buffer zone, per se’, capiche? Putin does NOT want NATO on its border, and again, has long stated such, short of the Baltic states that are already bordering Russia.
People who worry that Russia, once it controls Ukraine, will invade Western Europe need to have their head examined. Russia lacks the resources to occupy Europe. They aren’t trying to take over the world.
A very well-written article that explains why Putin wants the Ukraine.
It does NOT explain why I should care. A European buffer? Let Europeans handle it.
Coal, oil, and gas for Europe? Europe’s issue, not mine.
How about this;
We really don’t need to care.
However, our own CIC and administration has botched up every single thing that it has touched in this term. Sending our troops to Ukraine and rallying the libs against Putin deflects from Biden’s ineptness in an election year.
Here we go
Sorry Tootsie, we do not have any interest in the Uke. We don’t need to go to war so Hunter can keep his no-show gig and protect the big guy’s cut.
Like all those donor’s to the clinton foundation, they hitched their wagons to the wrong people (dumocrats) and now they get to see their money and their country lit up in flames.
This statement looks particularly silly and bizarre when you realize that United States of America has made such an outrageous habit of toppling governments and invading sovereign nations all over the world during the course of my lifetime.
Sally, I don't see where you described it. At all.
Well, frankly to me this just really looks like the United States wanted out of the ‘agreement.’ And just like Afghanistan, this is a nasty looking retreat. This time from Russians, not the Taliban.
Hey Sally -
Got any kids? How about you send them to Ukraine to fight instead of volunteering mine.
Thanks!
Mrs AV
I don’t think the argument is that there is no interest, the argument is that we have many more important issues.
Had Ukraine pursued a policy of independent neutrality, like Finland or Sweden, this would not be happening.
Yay Tucker! Keep it up. We are sick and tired of wars fought for plutocrats.
The security interest is that the U.S. needs Ukraine in order to oppose Russia in the area. The reason we must oppose Russia is that they are attacking Ukraine (see above). ... The u.s. has a security interest in Ukraine. The security interest is that the U.S. needs Ukraine in order to oppose Russia in the area.
Lots of talk but very weak case for our “security interest.” Basically, she doesn’t make the case. Sort of like if we don’t stop Putin here he will attack Nato next. Which is just a total implausibility.
America is turning into Mexico. If only the dwindling Caucasus Mountain people could stick together, we'd be migrating to the new world Mars right now. Millions of years of the Lord's genetic and cultural R&D is being eaten alive by genetic and cultural evil. We walked upon the Moon, but we couldn't walk from the black rot of vanity and envy.
There was a window of opportunity for the world's white people to tame Earth's evil, but the evil was too weak and dispersed at the time. Instead, we needed a worthy enemy, an actual challenge, like that time we took out the Neanderthals. Hence, white people killing white began, with industrious efficiency and fervor.
“Well, OK, the US doesn’t have a vital security interest in Ukraine.
But a war would be really cool!”
This is purely a Russian/Ukrainian issue and dispute — with a little of Europe thrown in.
It’s not our issue or dispute.
It’s none of our business.
There’s a lot of misery in the world. It’s not our place to fix it with our children’s lives and our treasure…
