War in Ukraine

Used to acknowledge the obvious; Zelensky is a triumvirate of Hitler, Satan, and the beast of Revelations.
And a bad comedian.

I recommend 4elensky.
His show was pretty mediocre. In fact, his tenure as president wasn’t highly regarded until Putin’s actions guaranteed he will remain a Ukrainian hero forever.

Well, that sounds right of center.
 


You know it’s bad when a country would rather pay higher gas bills and ration energy than be your friend.

The Putinists here like to crow about how badly Europe needs Russian energy. They're mysteriously silent, though, on the fact that Russia needs to sell gas to Europe to keep its energy industry/economy afloat. Both sides rely on the other.

Why even waste time answering you. You’d just ignore it or deflect away from it. Never mind the fact you assisted in selling his narrative that nukes would be justified in defense of Russian territory which implied inclusion of the Ukrainian occupied territory. “Just give Pootin what he wants why risk it”

Replace Russia with the West, and their will to support the war. Or Ukraine and how long they will last.

Considering how TN became the Volunteer State, and Volunteer is associated with UT, I'm just wondering how long before there are calls for discarding "Volunteer" and pulling down a statue on campus.
 
The US military is so incompetent and is on such a huge losing streak, it's extremely hard to trust any American active duty personnel or veterans under the age of 90 with any military assessment about anything. But Ritter was right about Iraq's supposed WMDs and the fact that the USA couldn't win in Iraq with air power. Nobody listened, the USA cheered its soldiers into Iraq, and enemy soldiers held 502nd Infantry Regiment accountable for its rape and murder of children, when American forces had no business even being there.

You forget the US military is under civilian control. Civilian control decides if/when the military acts, places limits, sets agenda, determines rules of engagement that often negate the effectiveness of our weapons systems ... often absurdly expensive weapons systems that they approved - sometimes even over the objection of the military. Civilian control is necessary as an extension of foreign policy and domestic safety; micromanagement by civilian authority rather than those on scene is just bad management.

As a vet and generally from a military family, your analysis is both wrong and frankly repulsive.
 
The leadership of the country. Not the people of the country.

So did the leadership just assume the position of authority or were they elected by the people of the country? If it were a complete democracy with the people deciding everything, nothing would be settled or work ... ever.

It's almost like Henry Ford was the last meaningful person on earth to understand co-dependencies or symbiotic relationships when he connected the welfare of the worker to his welfare as a producer.
