I will kill before I will let them take my son to war.
The White House would be radioactive ash in such a scenario.
“The cash flow is far too lucrative for the politicians to walk away from this bs war.”
**************
Ukraine has been a cash cow for them. The war will continue as long as its profitable.
A hot war will be a loser. America rejected Truman for Eisenhower on Ike's promise to end Korea. Ditto LBJ/Nixon over Vietnam. Not saying we were right to accept defeat in either case, but that's what happened. Putin is hoping for another such collapse of popular support, and a change of leadership. Hence the barrage of threats aimed at the Western media, and the flood of "influencers" on social media, including FR.
I think that sentiment will the same for millions of families around the world.
I have a nephew who was a Captain in the 101st Airborne, he recently got out on a full medical retirement, he damaged 2 discs in his back getting thrown out of a Humvee during a training exercise.
He could have stayed but decided it wasn’t worth it anymore putting up with all the Woke Nonsense, the Afghan withdraw and the potential to be thrown into a war no one wants.
What if they gave a war and nobody came?
The Ukes can’t shell the civilians in Donetsk like they had been from 2014 until recently, so they gotta find another way to do it.
Well if Russia doesn’t like it, they’re free to pull back to the pre-2012 borders.
I don’t know if it will go nuclear immediately, or not, but I suspect Russia will respond in a lethal fashion. A US embassy (or 10) might get bombed, or over-run by local extremists. A US warship (or 10) somewhere in the world might catch a torpedo. An American aircraft (or 10) might get blown out of the air, by a bomb smuggled onboard at a foreign airport. Or the Ruskies might just get impatient and use a tactical nuke somewhere, given the clown in the Oval Office.
Anyone who thinks the Russians will be unable to respond to US warheads landing inside Russia is smoking way too much hopium.
A hot war with Russia will end the White House, the Biden team, and a whole lot else.
What's wrong with you?
“A hot war will be a loser. ... “
It’s a new time. Americans tend to keep the elected officials who are in office at the time of war. If the left can keep power for the next 4 years, by then, all the illegals will be voting, and Republicans will never win another national election.
And if they lob 1000?
Viet Nam was a hot war with China. That is, what I think, the left is envisioning with Russia/Ukraine. Lots of munitions used, lots of corruption flowing, and distraction for the masses.
Russia will show up and fight, if the USA starts a war and the actual fighters don’t show up, it will be a catastrophic defeat for the USA, which is maybe what we need to completely eliminate the MIC and all the Neocons.
It figures that a POS such as yourself would side with Biden after what he is doing to Trump and this country.
Pro tip: War with Russia, or Iran, or China, has no popular support.
Oh I think you could see rebellion in Russia, as in 1917, when they had enough of the war.
You're right but there are easier ways for them to get rich. There is something much deeper and darker going on in Ukraine. I hope the answers come out soon.
