War in Ukraine

[BreatheUT]

Just heard Sen Linsey Graham advocated for assassination of Putin, just as Double Dipshit did...Graham was all Trumper...LMAO

Doubling down. We see how wrong Graham was on Iraq. Tucker ran clips of how buffoonish Graham has looked over the years. Hannity looks like a hack too. He seems to be enjoying the idiot talk.

So you think a teacher trying to persuade students to their political opinions for 10 minutes in a middle school Spanish class is appropriate?

That's the opposite of what I thought you supported.

Yet you’re ok with them making white kids feel guilty for being white.

 

[Rasputin_Vol]

The German partition was worked out by FDR and Stalin at Yalta and I’m sure had FDR lived he would have yielded to Stalin at Potsdam over Japan. Truman probably would have also except he was afraid of MacArthur.

Well you just said the key. I'm sure MacAuthur would have had something to say about Japan and The Philippines. I think most, the furthest that it could have gotten in the Pacific was The Soviets getting back Port Arthur, and that might have been a stretch.

Or securing the Mexican border? Building a wall?

That's too yesterday. Putin has upped the game it seems. We could ship Mexican drugs to Russia in return for weapons to sell as a second line when ours are too expensive, and enslave/indenture border jumpers to build a pipeline to the US to get us cut rate Mexican petroleum. Fences and good neighbors as foreign policy apparently doesn't work according to our dems and now the Russians.

It sounds like you have been consuming Mexican drugs.

 

[BreatheUT]

Is it still possible to get weapons into Ukraine?

 

[DonjoVol]

true, you’re not and wouldn’t make as one. Keep waiting tables.

I don't wait tables. Never said I did. And if anyone in here ever did or currently does then so what. Reading comprehension definitely is not your strong suit. Hope you compensate someone well to do that for you.

Nah, have to blame it on Ras - why we are bad and Putin was justified in invading his neighbor.

Had MacArthur allowed himself to be cowed by Truman who did continue the FDR policy of being bent over by Stalin he wouldn’t have been in position to thwart Soviet expansion.

Truman was worse than Jimmy Carter and both were post turtles when it came to foreign policy.

then I apologize. I must have you confused with another liberal who considers themselves a conservative

Japan would have surrendered before The Soviets likely invaded. I guess I am aware that The Soviets had those ambitions, but I guess I don't believe that it would have ended up with Japan under Soviet control after their surrender. That could have still been negotiated in the same way the German partition was worked out.

Just like you knew Russia wasn’t going to invade Ukraine. You show a pattern.

 

[IluvdoubleD's]

Yes. We do it as little as possible, and announce it when we do. Putin wants us in a nuke confrontation. We are not going to give it to him. We will do this the right way, and it will hurt, but it will get done.

 

[KB5252]

Disagree. These aren't Soviet Era folks, they've got a taste of the west and have softened.

I don't doubt that for a second, but they are still solid stock, they aren't soft like the US and western Europe.

LOL

Dude, they have the internet and video games too. Russian soldiers are there because they were drafted.

Hundreds of German anti-aircraft missiles for Ukraine Useless relics of Cold War: Report

Hundreds of anti-aircraft missiles that Germany pledged for Ukraine are useless Cold War relics from East Germany and are packed in boxes so moldy that anyone handling them has to wear protective gear, according to a report.

Out of the 2,700 "Strela" anti-aircraft missiles that Germany earmarked for Ukrainian fighters trying to fend off a Russian invasion, at least 700 are inoperable, Der Spiegel reported. The aging weapons are Soviet-made and date from the pre-1990 East German National People's Army.

The West convinced the Ukrainian leadership to ignore the 2015 Minsk II agreements and instead reassured them that if the time would come, Europe and the US would stand behind them. Well, this is what they get for their faith in the West. Broken or half promises. The pathway for a diplomatic solution was there. All the West did was arm them with sanctions, Warsaw Pact Era weapons, and more empty promises.

The vast majority of Russians parents suffered. Every generation get a little weaker then the one before with success and an easy way of life. We are at least two to three generations ahead in the soft game.

There is plenty of ire to go around. The disastrous decisions of CEO's to manufacture in China has lead to the rise of The Eastern commies, and a huge transfer of wealth. Politicians on both sides are also to blame. Make no mistake, they love getting their palms greased by these CEO's. Now, if the American consumer would get together and target just a few sectors at a time then it would cause immense pain to these companies and as well as China, and yes, it would change some things.

The sad truth is that today the consumer has little choice except to buy what's on the market. Maybe the consumers had some choice in the past, but that's largely been taken away by corporations at this point. I think we'd have to agree the consumer is largely a slave in a market decided by what marketers push and CEOs have agreed to build elsewhere. US labor didn't help by pricing itself out of business; apparently nobody on the labor side really understood that our labor was in competition with foreign labor plus the cost of shipping and manufacturing overseas - or they didn't count on politicians turning globalist on them.

We are a victim of a society living in the short term and can't be bothered with long term analysis; otherwise we might have figured out that we were selling out to a future enemy and building his military that we'll probably face again one day. We've fought the Chinese in Korea and Vietnam (more indirectly), and we should have figured out they aren't our buddies.

 

[AM64]

I fail to see how the CEO of a large corporation is more at fault than our consumer based economy. The desire for more far out weighs any desire for economic independence. Politicians are the same as CEOs. They buy votes.

You can't buy what corporations don't make. If you need something and all those somethings are made in China, you can't vote with your pocketbook. Consumers have no way to vote a CEO out of office. We have a two tiered business structure - one of products and markets and the other of markets (of the stock kind) and investment profits. The stock type market is the tail shaking the dog - it's out of control. The stopper might be that corporate officers and family cannot own stock and essentially vote for short term policies that line their pockets - it is a conflict of interest after all - their short term profit vs the country's long term well being. Nationalism has to win over globalism or we are sunk.

 

[Weezer]

But one party has idiots scattered within it while the other‘s entire platform and world view is completely based on idiocy. The two are hardly equivalent

In your opinion. When it comes to idiots, I think there's more of an equivalency than partisans want to admit. Too many sheep just looking to follow without question on both sides. We'd be better off without political parties. Imagine if Senators and Congress people just did what they were supposed to do, which is represent their constituents, not a political party?

 

[IluvdoubleD's]

How about we just be good people and ignore political parties. Vote your ass off, its a right few get, and was almost taken away from you.

Are you saying the country's long term well being is more important than an individuals short term profits?

Honestly..this concerns me more than nukes..
