I'm not a tranny, mommy.
I was born a heterosexual girl, still am a heterosexual girl and will die a heterosexual girl.
That fact means I'm not likely to be approved for membership in your branch of the UMC.

“Yet you don’t see that as a problem, or a priority, but want to spend even more on a proxy war 5,000 miles away in a country that we have no national security interest in?”
Au contraire. The US has a huge national security interest in hobbling Vlad from invading more countries. Letting him take Ukraine is a recipe for world war, both in Europe and in Asia. Remember the Sudetenland? Remember Manchuria? Everyone thought throwing those countries to the wolves was a necessary sacrifice for peace, too. Your arguments were already rehearsed by Senator Taft and PM Chamberlain, and were totally discredited almost eighty years ago.
Yes, the US has been destroying its currency since Nixon. Yes, it’s a very bad thing to do. But Ukraine is not what will destroy it. The invasion at the border could be fixed with just one billion and change, and giving away all those free goodies to the invaders will destroy the US entirely, courtesy of Cloward-Pliven.
Ukraine is actually a sound investment by comparison, despite all its problems. It’s a similar investment that King Louis XVI made in those rebellious colonies way back then. France did go bankrupt, and erupted in revolution shortly thereafter.
But did so because Great Britain was still standing and thoroughly p!ssed at France, and they had what passed for a world war back then, while the US gained its independence. The US, despite all that Brandon can do, remains on solid ground for now. Russia, not so much. They are the ones who will go bankrupt, and that would be a boon for the free world, as well as Ukraine, Russia and the US. Refusing to aid Ukraine will not make the dollar more sound, and aiding Ukraine will not break the dollar.

I thought it would be a nice break from the usual pissing contests that Uke/Russia threads devolve into.
Maybe to globalist commies and fascists there's an interest, but not to normal American citizens who love their country, and don't want to have their tax money squandered to pay salaries and pensions for Ukrainians. Biden and his handlers, and thousands of illegals, with God knows what kind of diseases and with criminal/terrorist intentions coming to this country uncontrolled, are a far more serious threat to you than Putin is at this time.
“Maybe to globalist commies and fascists there’s an interest, but not to normal American citizens who love their country, and don’t want to have their tax money squandered to pay salaries and pensions for Ukrainians. “
Maybe you should try substantive arguments instead of name-calling and semantic games. You sound like a Democrat in reverse.
“normal American citizens who love their country” want to keep the Bear in his cage, and realize that feeding Ukraine to it represents the mere hope that the Bear will eat them last.
If you do not deal with Putin now, you will have to deal with him loosed from his cage AND the thousands of illegals, with G-d knows what kind of diseases. Better to make sure the Bear is in his cage and THEN deal with the crisis at the border without the distraction of a world war in both Europe and Asia. He was complicit in 10-7, and he’ll be complicit in other crises, too along the way. You’ll notice when they bite you in the a@@.
Now repeat your mantra again. The tedium will rock me to sleep.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. I heard that same BS propaganda in the 50's and 60's about the U.S.S.R. Our government wanted us shaking in our boots, and full of fear. And they still do. Save your fear-mongering for somebody who hasn't a clue about what's actually going on. My only brother fought the commies in Vietnam in the 60's, and while we were fighting overseas to keep communism from coming here, we took our eye off the ball, and domestic communism blossomed and thrived, and that's why we are where we are today.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. I heard that same BS propaganda in the 50’s and 60’s about the U.S.S.R.
And Churchill repeated it ‘til he was hoarse, and nobody listened until it was almost too late.
” Our government wanted us shaking in our boots, and full of fear. And they still do.”
Not my government. Yours. And I’m not a part of it, and haven’t listened to a word your government says. To me this is just common sense. In the ‘50s and sixties you did duck and cover and had fall-out shelters in your schools. So did I, in the sixties and seventies. Now I’ve had to go to a bomb shelter a few times, and had the fragment of a missile fall on the roof of a store across the street and explode from the impact, as I descended to ground level. Didn’t shake in my boots. Wasn’t full of fear. My sensei taught me how to stay calm. But I did get into that shelter with all the others, and cheered the recent Russian immigrants up with some Russian singing in my best tenor voice.
” Save your fear-mongering for somebody who hasn’t a clue about what’s actually going on. “
That’s what I’m doing, clueless.
” and while we were fighting overseas to keep communism from coming here, we took our eye off the ball, and domestic communism blossomed and thrived, and that’s why we are where we are today.”
And the commies were protesting frantically, and having riots and occasionally blowing up buildings, in opposition to the war in Vietnam. According to you, they should have been cheerleading it Enthusiastically while they quietly got advanced degrees and tenior, and prepared to corrupt the minds of the youth. But no, they sounded a lot like you do right now, and like you they mistook wishful thinking for reality.
The US pulled out of Vietnam, and the Vietnamese took the ethnic Chinese who had been there for five hundred years, and shoved them onto rickety boats, headed for the high seas and America. They did similarly beastly things the Hmong in Cambodia, and the Montagnard tribes who had allied themselves with the US. Sort of like how Brandon did to the Afghans.
So your comparison is inaccurate and poorly thought out. That was then. This is now.
And here we are 80 years later, Russia isn't communist anymore, hasn't invaded or nuked us, but we have been invaded, hacked, and our politicians bought by Communist China, who is an even bigger threat to us than Putin's Russia. If you're not fear-mongering, why do you insist we have to send aide to Ukraine in order to stop Putin? If that's not fear-mongering, I don't know what is.
You can't handle my calling the globalists who want to destroy my country, commies and fascists? What would you call them then? They'd love to see Israel on her knees too.
“And here we are 80 years later, Russia isn’t communist anymore, hasn’t invaded or nuked us” yet.
“...but we have been invaded”
True. And if you cut off aid to Ukraine, you would still be invaded, and you would still have Traitor Joe doing nothing about it.
“...hacked, and our politicians bought by Communist China, who is an even bigger threat to us than Putin’s Russia.”
Yes. China is. Does that mean Russia is not. They are both big threats. North Korea is their lap dog, but he’s also a theat. So is Iran. And they’re all mixed up in the Middle East where I live, and the border, and Ukraine. If Putin takes Ukraine, they will be emboldened to help him take Moldova, and China will be emboldened to take Taiwan. Maybe little Kim will do something to South Korea.
Your lack of concern about Ukraine is sublimating your understandable hostility to everything that Biden stands for.
But comfort yourself. His support of Ukraine is as fake as the man himself. So you can be for supporting Ukraine with real help so they can win and have done. At the same time you can also be against Traitor Joe’s money laundering racket disguised as aid to Ukraine, but never the right aid at the right time, so the war goes on forever. The two are not contradictions.
“If you’re not fear-mongering, why do you insist we have to send aide to Ukraine in order to stop Putin? If that’s not fear-mongering, I don’t know what is.”
I’ll tell you what it is. A clear sense of reality.
Do not feed your neighbors to a bear in the hopes that he’ll eat you last. It will not secure the border or stop China or Iran.

Good to know! :)
Someone had mentioned they had assumed you were a guy because of your log-in. So, I posted this apology indicating that I meant no harm.
To: All
“she cannot help himself”
I apologize for not knowing what pronouns to use.

Sorry, you missed it. Hope you have a great evening :)
“So Joe sending money to Ukraine to protect their borders is okay with you. You accused me of being a Democrat, so why do you support Joe Biden, and the liberal line on Ukraine?

Once more, broken into paragraphs for your convenience, and this time read it and stop wasting my time.

i.e., I’m for aiding Ukraine, but against Biden’s fake support for Ukraine.
It’s now 1:39 a.m. in Israel I can’t keep going back and forth. Must study, pray, brush teeth, sleep.
As is his support of Israel as fake as they come. Since Joe's support of Ukraine is fake, why do you approve of him sending billions of unaccounted-for money there, knowing he and his corrupt family, have gotten rich with kickbacks from Ukraine?
The same people who are saying we have to support Ukraine financially and militarily against Russia, are the same people telling Israel how to fight their wars, and how to treat the terrorists who want them dead. They are the same people pushing Israel into a cease fire.
“Since Joe’s support of Ukraine is fake, why do you approve of him sending billions of unaccounted-for money there, knowing he and his corrupt family, have gotten rich with kickbacks from Ukraine?”
I don’t. I tolerate it so long as they also provide some weaponry to fight the Russians, and they do. That doesn’t give them a blank check to do whatever they want and call it “aid”. A thorough audit is definitely in order.
Trump gave them weapons in 2019, and the Dems impeached him over it, because he asked Zelensky to look into Traitor Joe’s extortive behavior towards Poroshenko, and to look into what happened to Hillary’s hard drive, which he had reason to believe was somewhere in Ukraine.
“And Churchill repeated it ‘til he was hoarse, and nobody listened until it was almost too late.”
I appreciate the perspective, wisdom and clarity of your comments. Thank you!!!
Obama gave them blankets. Trump gave them some weapons. Despite Zelensky saying Trump did nothing wrong in their phone call, and never pressured him, his support for Trump during the impeachment process was less than stellar. Alexander Vindman did his best to get rid of Trump. He and his twin brother are both Ukrainian-born, and the snake Alexander, has been trying to get his business going to send military contractors to Ukraine. Just another corrupt member of Biden's swamp taking advantage of a situation trying to cash in. And your push to supply Ukraine will help him get his foot in the door, if he hasn't already. It's people like Vindman who will benefit from this war, not the Ukrainians. And there's plenty more where Vindman came from. But let's keep feeding that fat cow, right?
Me too, keep up the good work, FRiend.
