No war during the Trump administration. Stolen elections have consequences.

Losing a limb in an existential battle to save your country is noble and tragic both. An opportunity for the Western World to step up and help these amputees with something akin to the Wounded Warrior project to help them help themselves and their families be productive and thrive to the best they can. This war will end someday, like all wars.

I saw light in loafers and Pocahontas were teaming up for Big Tech oversight.
How great will that be?…

No doubt those Ukrainians are happy to have made the sacrifice for Joe’s retirement fund and Hunter’s coke and whore habit.

Well, Linsey has been ‘stumping’ for more Ukraine aid.

How noble of America, after a few years of feeding Ukrainian men into a wood chipper of a war then America will put a Band-Aid on the survivors.

God save me from that kind of charity.

They’re supposed to use the cluster bombs on the enemy, not themselves.

in an existential battle to save your country

Your argument is based on a faulty premise.

Prior to Feb. 2022, there was nothing necessary or "existential" about this war. Peace could have been had at any time, even up to April 2022, if US neocons and deep-staters (the same satanists who gave us the "Russia-gate" hoax) had simply reigned in their megalomania a little bit.

France had 1.2 million killed, and 4.3 million wounded in WW1 with 50,000 amputees.

So you extrapolate 20K for Ukraine, even with a greater survival rate, and you have hundreds of thousands killed already.

The Ukrainians are fighting to try to force people in regions who left - back into the country.

And fighting so that Globohomo NATO will have more favorable terrain to attack Russia.

Not worth it.

They aren't fighting to save their country. They are fighting a failed proxy war we did everything we could to start with Russia and have done everything we can to keep going.

At every turn, we've thwarted peace deals -- the Minsk Accords, in December of 2021 when the Russians came to us with their valid concerns and Turkey last March when a peace deal was almost reached and killed by Boris Johnson and the Biden regime.

Thank you for your thoughtful reply.
Yet here we are now nonetheless.
Where is best to go from here?
I generally side on the cause of restoring functionality and productivity.
If not us who then?

They are still alive. Better send them more money.

I would like to see the power of American compassion and desire to help channelled to where it is needed.
Cannot both be addressed?
