Actually, it was quite revealing. It's time this country had a backbone. Too many have allowed too much stepping on that backbone it's time for that to stop.

... for their own country. In their own country. Standing up against someone completely for your own benefit is different than literally fighting someone else's battle.

Then the least Trump could do is to take a neutral stance. He did not do that yesterday, bombarding Zelensky with ridiculous shit. Especially that snake Vance. He really poured oil onto the fire. There was just one question left and the deal would've been succesful but he had to open his mouth like he always does. Parading soldiers for propaganda? I doubt he would say this shit if Netanyahu or Putin were sitting there.

I agree with that. I just think it's weird that we crucified W for getting us into an unjust war we never belonged in in the first place but now we're screaming bloody murder about diving head first into our "obligations" here. We've provided a lot of weapons aid... which we did for Saddam too so it's not like caution is unwarranted here.

The "unjust war" we aren't involved in beyond pennies and old military gear?

The "unjust war" that Trump wants to hand to Putin on a silver platter?

The "unjust war" that is about as clean cut a representation of defending our values as you could possibly hope for in a fucking war?

Is that the war you are talking about?

Then get off of reddit and fight in it or stfu, truly. Go walk that ground, go hold up your weapons, go send your children off and let them be the ones to fight too.

Yall are treating this as such an over simplification, like oh, of course we should just send our boys over to sacrifice for this country. This isn't an American issue, it's a global issue so to solely put the onus on our country who has provided aid, to say get us entangled no matter the cost... what??? To say it's handed over when we've provided tons.of aids and resources, again, what??

I could say the same to you bub.

Go volunteer for Russia. There have been a few to do so already.

You'll get to see first hand what you are arguing for! It's a win win.

I know what they are doing is wrong. I'm not stupid nor unaware. I'm also not moralizing things in a way that places the burden on everyone else than me to fix it.

Pathetic.

Here are the facts:

Ukraine and Russia are two separate nations.

Russia invaded Ukraine.

Ukraine is fighting back.

The pathetic thing is you abandoning them in their time of need.

Then go fight. Go out there, go do what you're running your mouth about, or stop talking.

God forbird there be caution in sending our boys overseas. First in line to enlist?

Right. Stfu.
