If Russia was still a communist country, the experts would stay we have no business inferring. I remember how every left-wing group in the U.S. and much of the rest of the world opposed the entry of the US into WWII, unil of course June 22, 1941 when Germany invaded the USSR

First Zelensky was demanding Javelins and Stingers. Now repeated calls for heavy weapons. Are they running low on tanks and armored vehicles?

“Much better to defeat the Russians now when they are poor and weak then to let them reform their empire.”

Are you ready to engage in nuclear war? Because, believe me, whichever side thinks it is facing a clear existential threat will launch.

“Who is paying for all this?”

Russia is. We have almost $1 trillion in their assets now and we can charge against it. So can Ukraine.

Seriously, Russia is never going to see any of that money come back to them. They’re hosed.

I believe racism drives a lot of this. If Ukraine was populated by papuans, the media and hence the general populace wouldn’t care less

You may have a death wish but you have no right to take me with you.

“No we should not be sending them weapons.”

I have no problem whatsoever with sending Ukraine weapons. But I would not support putting any US boots on the ground in Ukraine or helmets in the air above Ukraine.

"Think of it as an investment. How many billions did we pay each year to contain the Soviets? Much better to defeat the Russians now when they are poor and weak then to let them reform their empire."

Europe can handle this alone - and should.

I just think most of those weapons are going to end up in the hands of criminals. I’m sure Ukrainians are nice enough people but its an amazingly corrupt country even by Eastern Europe standards.
We backed Mujahideen in the 80s and ended up with Osama bin laden...I think we are doing the same thing now.

One day Ukraine is winning bigly. Next day Russia will wipe them out if we don't donate billions.

Do you really want the majority of nations on this planet to
be hiding under China’s skirt?

You honestly think it would be better if China has a good
relationship with 60% of the nations on Earth, and the US
has about 35%?

I don’t think you’re alone in your thoughts, but folks you
just do not remember how it was in the days when the Soviet
Union was at it’s full strength.

It won’t be better when China is.

Russia is minor league compared to NATO/America in terms of invading and destroying nations.
