The war in Ukraine

What a mess. But honestly, we knew it was coming.

Putin has sealed his own fate. Every analyst I know, knew all of the combat experience lies with the old Soviet satellite nations. When the Union fell, Russia's military lost all its power.

The war proves it. Pure Russians have never fought for anything, since the second world war. Even then, it was an invading force they fought. They just were not prepared for combat. Now they are paying for it.

The fact that no one is talking peace speaks volumes to me. Not a liking either side.

I'm not sure I understand you. They were invaded. That's how this nation was founded. The Brits invaded the colonies, because they felt they owned them. The same does not apply to the Ukraine.

So no one should interject themselves in the conflict with peace talks, just send more money and guns?
If no compromise can be found then fine, but let them lay their cards on the table and at least negotiate.
Why do some American citizens question the funding of this war? No accountability.

You don't understand. Putin is not interested in "talks". Dictators never are.

OK

What is up with Republicans? Simply put, if Ukraine falls, so does all of Europe. This isn't about who controls the House or Senate. This is about freedom! At stake is the EU and NATO! That's 90% of our global allies.

I fought both gulf wars. One was about freedom (Kuwait), the other revenge (9-11).

If we don't fight for freedom, then we've already lost our own.


Bandit

If Trump wins the White House, Ukraine dies. If the Republicans win the House and or Senate, Ukraine dies.

Currently Ukraine is just barely hanging on. Russia is using missiles from North Korea, and guess what? Despite all the dumbass sanctions they are all using US technology!
