(1,516 posts)If they are so tired of the war in Ukraine, then if they think they have the guts to do so, go to Moscow and tell the Kremlin that, hypocrites! Here's a scenario: imagine if Mexico or Canada was a dictatorship and decided to invade the United States in a genocidal war, and they had said, "We don't think the US exists, they are part of the Mexican or Canadian World." These same hypocrites would be screaming that they need to defend the US, Well, now you know what Ukrainians think. To be bluntly honest, the United States has no idea what it is like to be invaded by a neighboring country who is a dictatorship. Even with the wars with Great Britain, they were not neighboring countries/empires. They have it relatively easy compared to others. I think most of us want the war in Ukraine to end, but how can it end when the Russian government is attacking Ukraine, all because of their stupid "Russian World" myth? If we stop now, it will be more than Ukraine that will be lost and our allies in Europe and elsewhere will never trust us again. We were lucky to regain the trust of Europe in particular after the severe damage the previous administration did. Next time around, the break in trust could end up being permanent.

(1,516 posts)I have said this before and I will say it again. Russia is not our friend. They have never really been so during or after the Cold War. Their values are not the same as ours. We have to stop pretending they are our friends.

(12,352 posts)And let me preface this by saying I am 100 percent for helping Ukraine all we can, how does the Military Industrial Complex feel about their financed candidates voting to end the massive cash flow they are getting (and without losing a single American soldier while taking in 100s of billions).
This is a sweet deal for them, especially since we are out of a 10+ year war, their Stuff is in high demand in massive quantities.
And THOSE repubs sure as hell love the wars our soldiers die in.

(1,516 posts)They are cowards who know nothing about Ukraine or Eastern Europe in general. Their sorry butts wouldn't be able to handle it if they went to the front lines. If you ask me, Ukraine, Poland, Georgia, and the Baltic States know better than anyone what it is like to be under the iron hand of Russia (as part of the Soviet Union and afterwards). So I think what it is telling is how much they do not understand the situation. Their actions tell me they actually support China and Russia, even if the former is communist who they love to bitch about. These are the same people that always complain that anyone that is not them is communist and/or satanist. But really they don't understand either thing. It's not as cut and dry as it appears.

(39 posts)A country is invaded by Russia, and they dont want to help. We have an opportunity to set the Russian military back 25 years. And without American troops doing the shooting. Killing Russian soldiers, and destroying their war making equipment, what American could be against this? I just hope Ukraine can get their corruption under control and push the Russians out of the Ukrainian territory.
