Now would have been a great time for them to follow CNN’s lead - and just report the news.

Really? Like Trump getting two scoops of ice cream news?🤣 I used to watch CNN every morning, but since trump beat Hillary, it's been nothing but the trump channel. It's literally 90 percent of all they talk about. You're lucky if you catch anything that they don't mention Trump. I'm not even defending fox, cause they're right wing biased, but to act like CNN only reports News is laughable.

Did I say "on this board"? Also, there are dozens here wanting to send aid and weaponry- again, hence the qualifier. What better way to support the fight for freedom than joining the defense?

For a "lawyer" it seems like you were educated in reading at Bubba's Backroom Butt Stuff Shack of North Florida.

When are you going to take a bullet to the grill for the forces of evil?

I’m sitting here watching CNN since they’re mainly just giving the information and getting out of their own way finally. Still won’t watch MSNBC though.

Reminds me of 1991 and the world learning about “Wolf Blitzer”

I may have spoken to soon, but even their website is trump daily. I rarely watch it anymore.

When it's not in Ukraine. Or most places on earth that aren't here.

And I'm not going to saber-rattle that we get involved from the comfy seat of my own toilet either.

Yep. He has given speech after speech, including the one right before the invasion, which spells out his hatred for the fall of the USSR and desire to restore the USSR/Cold War geopolitical dynamics being central to his worldview. Ukraine could have passed a law forbidding NATO membership and Putin would have found a different pretext (corruption, Russian speaking people, etc.) to colonize Ukraine. It was just a matter of geopolitical timing for him.

No, I think Putin views the western trajectory of Ukraine, with the possibility of NATO membership, as an existential threat--one worth expending his military against.

If he was convinced Ukraine would remain neutral, he would still try to exert Russian influence on it, but he wouldn't have taken this drastic measure.

Since everyone gets so butthurt, I have to qualify this with I'm not on Russia's "side". But if Mexico, or Canada, were moving openly and explicitly against the US and were aligning with Chinese military interests, how would we react?

Hey all those eager to send American troops and/or other support over can now go to Ukraine and join their new defense legion for internationals. I hope to see several of you leaping into the fray in the coming days.

One time I said Guarantano sucked on here and someone said I couldn't do any better lol.

I'd love to go to Ukraine and protect the interests of the Western world. But first I have to go fill in some potholes for TDOT, collect garbage for the sanitation department, and go police some crimes.

Because that's totally how all of this works 😂.

On one hand, you're saying someone is bad at their job for entertainment.

On the other, you (assumption here) want to expend your and other people's resources on something largely irrelevant to our safety and freedom over your feelings.

You're this obtuse, this black and white? Explains a lot about the death spiral America is in when it can't differentiate sport and life. Pathetic, and sad.

PS: playing college football is a privilege limited by skill. Ukraine is famously putting 80-year-old men to use and accepting foreign volunteers. There's no barrier there but your own cowardice.

GTFO dude

The people being killed, being run over by tanks, bombed in their apartments, these are civilians. They're not culpable for this. Your comment is pathetic. This is an invasion perpetrated by a nuclear super power against a civilian population. Your spin is garbage.

Am I saying the civilians are culpable? Or am I pointing the finger at NATO leadership for using the Ukrainians as pawns in their agenda?

Remember what a boondoggle the C-17 program was...has paid dividends for decades. Probably need to be a replacement in works or line opened back up as they have been work horses for so long.

Your posts are filled with "Nato bad-Putin is just peace loving and felt threatened, so he had a right to invade". You are full of it.

I don't see that he's saying he's peace loving. I see someone saying he feels threatened. Again, I don't see how all of you will forgive and give a free pass to American-led NATO out of one side of your mouth, then condemn and crucify American politicians (who *cough cough* lead NATO) and their corruption in Ukraine out of the other. It's so goofy how you all will just boil issues to black and white like it's some movie because you like jerking it to war footage.

Maybe it was you who told me that lol

Way to respond to a bunch of stuff I didn't say. I think saying what's happening there has no implications in this country is completely retarded, but that's your opinion. And it has nothing to do with my point.

The idea that Americans can't have an opinion about what our strongest military in world history worth trillions of dollars should be doing unless they want to get on a plane with a glock and a dream is a stupid thing to say. But you know that.
