War in Ukraine

[Grand Vol]

Careful, that's pro-Putin talk round here.

Oh, I just remember what the past five years of media has looked like...

This has turned into a major wake-up call for Europe and I hope America. I don’t think Europe actually thought he would go through with this, and I don’t believe Putin expected the backlash from the world.

He has done what he wanted in the Ukraine for decades with no repercussions, why would he think it would be any different this time? Especially with our weak leadership.

I responded to literally only what you said. You're welcome to an opinion- but don't act like a hypocritical champagne socialist. Put your money where your mouth is. What's "retarded" is virtue signaling about the power of an organization I assume you're not even an insignificant part of that ends up being the one making all the sacrifices. I know the world of the trailer park is small and you have to cling to "wins" where you can, but come on, "lol".

You're still at least pretending you don't understand my point at all. Maybe you should take a breather.

You think military personnel only pay sacrifices? Quit your job and go drive Uber with the rising gas prices. Put your money where your mouth is and don't spout off again until you do.

You see how easy and stupid it is to say **** like that? It's just pointless opinion gate keeping that sounds ridiculous.

I'm not advocating American troops in Ukraine. But I'm sure you'll let me know when I do since you want to put words in my mouth off the jump.

You are seeing what the propaganda wants you to see. Take everything with a grain of salt.

I still want the Ukranian's to win but you're definitely right, there is a lot of propaganda from both sides.

I keep seeing this but nobody's shown where he says that. Donald Trump was a big fan of the Gorilla Channel and pissing on Russian hookers, too.

It is not a stretch when he says the collapse of the USSR was the worst thing to happen. He wants to be the one that reestablishes Russia's dominance.

How would we think this war would be any different than what we see everyday with propaganda?

Watch for the next 4 to 5 tweets that get linked in this thread and critically think if the post could be propaganda.

Apparently many, many have forgotten. Like I said- as long as they get to jerk it to war footage damn the truth!

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

I actually understand not wanting an installed, relatively unfriendly government next door (how would the US feel if that happened in Mexico or Canada?). What makes no sense to me is that he's trying to appear strong and the invasion has been a mess.

You mean like in Cuba?

Man you're whiffing bad. "Opinion gate keeping", straight off Tumblr.

I'm saying put your money and effort where your mouth is. Nut up. That's all. Sorry it makes you feel bad.

Exactly like in Cuba.

You don't even know where my mouth is is the funny part lol. You seem to think I'm a liberal. You don't know a single opinion I have.

Except that "Only people willing to get on a plane and go to Ukraine should have an opinion on the US military" is a dumbass thing to believe. You've inferred a lot from that.

Can confirm

Yep, it showed up and later disappeared near Spangdahlem Airbase in SE Germany, and flew across Germany and most of Poland at 25K ft about 450 knots - seemed pretty leisurely. When I went to bed, it looked like he refueled and then was perhaps escorting the tanker. I had a couple of questions like why the plane was trackable and were there others with transponders turned off. Our fighters almost never (until the last couple of days I would have said never) show up on the radar trackers, so you wonder if it's a message saying those tankers cruising around Poland and Romania aren't unprotected.

Again with the asinine assumptions after complaining that someone was making irrelevant points. Strike four, you're the dumbass.

And then the second point- why is it a dumbass thing to believe? Is it a dumbass thing for me to get irritated when lefties tax my ass for all the people to not work? I don't want to fund military exercises abroad so your Cheeto fingers can fumble around on the remote for the latest propaganda footage from Eastern Europe.

He was actually a war hero..

I'm aware of that. Obviously a brave individual.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

Western aggression.

This is f'n stupid

Assumptions? You literally called me a socialist lol

The circle jerking in this thread gets old. You can’t claim “Trump lives rent free” if you keep bringing him up. He’s not a public servant: fact. So what does any of that matter?

LOL

So NOW you don't want to talk about Mr Trump.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

It appears as if there are plenty of “Rittenhouses” defending their territory. Where would you be if this happened here?

Dead, hiding in a hole with other cowards, or outright being a traitor for the other side.

 

[SpaceCoastVol]

Take that stupid BS to another thread. Stop acting like a moron.

He ain't acting.

 

[Burhead]

Kyviv and now Mariupol are both encircled by Russian troops but still Russia has yet to take any key cities.

"Don't act like a champagne socialist"?

Lay off the sauce, sonny boy.

If it is propaganda it at least says Russia isn't in control of the narrative.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

Spineless party.

For some reason I doubt that there's even an "encircling" here.
