sick sick people.

They must not have grown up during the cold war. As a kid my friends and i were resigned to dying in a mushroom explosion. I grew up smack dab in the middle of 3 military bases. One was a 24 hour B-52 alert unit. You could hear the engines spooling up at all hours of the day and night. Was it the first friday or last friday of every month? Civil defense would test the air raid system across the entire region. Scary scary times.

"They must not have grown up during the cold war."

I was born in '47, and although I didn't live near any military bases, fear of nuclear war was instilled in us all the time. That's all anyone talked about in the 50's. I can remember our air raid drills at school. We had no windowless basement to go to. We sat along the walls in the hall at school, which had windows along the outside wall, and at the end. I'd sit there looking out the window, waiting for the drone of airplanes bringing the bombs to kill us. They did have us a bit traumatized back then, and it was done deliberately, just like they fed us the BS about Covid.

All those people who support Biden on Ukraine, need to ask themselves, is Ukraine worth the U.S. being nuked by Russia today? Is any foreign country worth destroying this country over? What part of that don't these Ukraine supporters understand? Many of them cry that Putin won't stop once he has Ukraine. Well, who gives a crap? I don't. I care about this country's survival, not some European craphole that can't defend itself, and hasn't bothered to even build up their own security. Why does this country always have to bail out those that will not protect themselves?

Sadly, there are some here who claim to have lived during the Cold War, but haven't yet woke up to the fact that we aren't the policemen of the world, who need to be responsible when a foreign country is weak or corrupt, and can't, or won't fight its own battles. In the case of Ukraine, that's Europe's problem, and it's time they stepped up, instead of expecting the U.S. to take the lead on everything. We can't afford to do that anymore, without it severely effecting the stability and economy of this country. President George Washington in his farewell address told us to avoid entangling alliances with foreign countries. He was right then, and he's still right today.
