Even if that’s true so what? The European union was Europe attempt to recreate the roman empire. Why is it our business when people in other parts of the world do that concern their sovereignty (or lack thereof) and their future. You seem to have this idea that the United States of America has both responsibility and the right to dictate politics whether by war or negotiation in other parts of the world

"Still trying to virtue shame people. I don't see you on the front lines of the Russian offensive. "

I cannot speak for JonPreston but, as for myself, I resent the waste of American prosperity funding a insane proxy war to protect the establishment's playground of kickbacks, no show jobs, and cheap prostitutes. Another thing that I resent is that NATO's ever eastward expansion is what started this war and could burn the world down.

“you call them (Russia) the aggressor?”

Yes, of course. That is obvious.

That is recognized by the whole world. You are not fooling anyone.

That is why Russia is now a pariah - the most heavily sanctioned country on Earth, surpassing North Korea and Iran.

Putin has squandered the opportunity for a better life for more than a hundred million Russians, and is dragging them back into Soviet-style poverty and oppression.

Who cares about the war in Eurasia . The real question is what are they going to do with the chocolate ration.

Agree. Later today I'll post Biden's own words from 1997, regarding this NATO provocation.

"Rather than cheerlead for Biden’s war, you should join the fray, DannyTN. Or are you a coward?"

Again with the virtue shaming. But I've donated to Ukraine. I've put some of my money where my mouth is.

Zelenskyy wants more, and don't you dare ask for an audit. I want to see you and other warmongers on the front line. Go, show us you are more than words and a handful of coins.

"Thee Big War is coming—this should have been done six months ago. We are Not ready for the looming conflict. What Must be Done NOW!
1. Close the border—air tight. Place land mines all along the thing least saboteurs slip across the Border.
2. In stall Draft for all people ages 18 to 26—Men, Women, Trans, Gay, Legal, illegal.
3. Make all needed drugs, things here—NO Imports from unfriendly nations. FORTRESS AMERICA!
4. Stop production of all civilian cars to build planes and tanks.
5. End all Green Laws and limits for the duration.
6. WE need a 600 ship navy and a 15 million army NOW.
7. Law and Order put in place. Criminals put into special Mozart Gropes as “Shock Troops”—To be used first. A year at the front and they get a full pardon. They can comeback with a medal as heroes or in a body bag."

You sir are a madman channeling a communist dictator. Why would Americans want to lose millions of their fellow citizens to fight your big wet dream of a war? It is certainly not for God, country, and the American way under the demonic Biden Regime.

Taiwan will not be defended with 155mm artillery. It is a separate question.

Note on war games: most, if not all, begin with a preconceived outcome, further, only certain factors are considered and others are omitted entirely - done to achieve the outcome desired.

They are realistic only to the parameters input and the units manner and usage. Everything else is excluded. In short war games are not real and never work out in realty.

Also the ‘enemy’ is always described as stronger that they are and ‘friendly’ forces weaker than they are under the worst case scenarios.

I get that. You want us dead. So much for your claims of being for peace.

Nobody needs to go fight on the front lines, just for supporting Ukraine's fight to remain free.

Ukraine and the west didn't start this war. Putin did. Putin can end it now just by withdrawing from territory that is not his.

And if not, TANKS are coming.

Ukraine is now a certified welfare nation, the world’s largest welfare queen. Most don’t realize our money packages are going directly to fund their government,

I didn't know Russia was providing monetary packages to Russia.

So you aren’t going? You’ll only cheer for war from the safety of your computer monitor?

Only about 4% of American citizens cheer for Putin. You’re an odd one not a “silent majority”.

Welcome to FreeRepublic. Your perspective is certainly ... different.

I do more good here.

What good is an old man on the front lines, when maybe I can help the decision get made to send F-16’s.

Meanwhile, you can stand there watching Ukraine get raped and fancy yourself as “peaceful” because you refuse to get involved.

they’ll be GREEN, right? Made in all electric factories with no petroleum products used in production? When they explode they will emit only harmless steam or into bitS of compostable materials, right?

the factories will all but plenty of carbon offsets from Al Gore, correct?
