No kidding, Russians kill everyone, even their own troops.

[A strike]

Instead of going full neocon zeep
please stop promulgating the StateDept/CIA/deepState (sorry but true) War party of you youth. feel free to join the tewnty-first century
No learning makes one, ahem, a fool.

‘We’re gonna need all the help we can get..’ (against RedChina and Russia)
Well, that’s for dam sure, but not by following idiotic policies from idiot thinking.

I never said media. I’m referring to people. Individuals. The same measure of disgust should be felt equally against the horrors of war. And yes individuals did delight in the poisoning - thinking it was clever. You certainly wouldn’t be saying the same thing if the parties were reversed. Next.. you seem to be into this collective mindset. Not everyone thinks or feels about Ukraine the way you do.

[ansel12]

And now the name calling.

[ansel12]

“”””But, the media celebrated Ukrainian women honey potted Russian soldiers who then poisoned them on dates.”””””

We and the rest of our 31 NATO alliance and another 20 or so of our allies and friends globally and in the Pacific support Ukraine against the Russian invasion.

We have a side in this war and yes, it does make a difference if the bad guys are being killed while invading a friendly nation or if the good guys are being killed.

sorry, not, if the shoe fits

Taking prisoners is counterproductive. They have to be sheltered, fed and guarded.

[ansel12]

It takes resources but in the long run it is not counterproductive.

[Cen-Tejas]

So, given Russia’s long and indisputable evil history, any idea WHY we have so many Putin lovers on FR?

I have one thought. My daughter is beautiful, a CPA, a mother and controller of a 40 m company.

But, I bet she couldn’t tell you who Stalin was. Even though I sent her to the best private schools in our area, she was either sleeping in history class or there was no history class.

[JimRed]

“…it does make a difference if the bad guys are being killed while invading a friendly nation or if the good guys are being killed.”

There is no “good guy” in this fight. So I only root for the invaded underdog.

[HollyB]

I’m not concerned with how Biden and Milley, the UK, Boris Johnson etc ( when he was in office ) feel about Ukraine and Russia.

If they give/gave a crap, they would have worked on a peace plan and stopped provoking with threats of NATO membership. Sorry.. we provoked Russia into the war. And again… please stop hiding behind what other people, countries, govt, media think. You can say how YOU feel. I care less what other’s think. We were wrong and the consequences are catastrophic.

[HollyB]

And I may not respond because it’s fruitless. It makes zero difference what I think or say. You are one of the masses and count yourself as validated because the media, Biden, Congress wave their yellow and blue flags in unison. I’m not part of that clique nor do I ever want to be.

[ansel12]

LOL, no one cares about their feelings, but we do care about how able they are in a fight.

We are in a much better situation than we were 25 months ago, NATO is stronger and getting stronger and has woken up from the stagnation we were worried about 2 years ago, and that applies to the Pacific as well.

Every year our allies have made vast improvements over where they were at the beginning of this invasion.

[ansel12]

Don’t forget the celebrating media you never mentioned.

[tennmountainman]

Why were the Ukies surrending? I thought Ukieland was winning.
Why not fight to the death?

[jmacusa]

Me too. So much for the ‘’brave Ukrainians'' Said it before, say it again Russia and Ukraine are two scorpions in a bottle. They deserve each other. And not a dime of our blood or treasure.

[Darksheare]

Getting in the middle of a Slavic slapfight domestic dispute is never a good time.
You’d think that The Great War would have been a good lesson on it.

[jmacusa]

Indeed FRiend. This is just another go round in an ancient Eastern European blood feud that has nothing to do with us.

God how it was nauseating to hear all that clap trap two years ago about “Standing With Ukraine’’

Now it's all over and gone.

People who two years ago couldn't have found Ukraine on a map as big as a barn door were all agog at this supposed little brave nation fighting for ‘’democracy’’.

What twaddle.

[Darksheare]

I know.
I still remember the Obama misadministration meddling everywhere that they could.
2014 was a poster year for such things.
And the supposed democracy closed churches, promoted lgbtqwerty, and suspended elections which our media points to as a “masterclass in democracy”.
Which gives a hint of what they plan here.

[Svartalfiar]

No logical argument can be used to make them realize that Ukraine is but a distraction for the Pavlovian Americans that react without thought, when aggression is put forth by Russia, even if it be justified. Because for them Russia cannot be justified for securing it's national security.

And how exactly did Ukraine threaten Russia's national security? I never heard about Ukraine secretly attacking Russia or anything even close to that.
