War in Ukraine

[AM64]

Lol. So we are posting no gun signs over Ukraine. Because that is so effective...

No way. Ukrainian farmers are waiting for hunting season to open; they've got some good stuff to try out.

 

[AM64]

Think about this: if Putin is a "war criminal," what does he believe will happen to him if he loses the war? This is only painting him into a corner and increasing the odds of him doing something catastrophic if he senses that his invasion is failing.

Obviously somebody needs to end Putin before ending the war. Win/win the war is over and Putin isn't a war criminal ... at least not a live one.

 

[volgr]

Which means he doesn’t value life, period, including ours. In his mind, he cannot be viewed as the loser in this. If he thinks he could be, then he would surely see his only path to “victory” would be to launch nukes against those that have helped Ukraine.

That's moronic.

 

[AM64]

What value does the Euro/Pound/etc. have?

Two really stupid things happened in Nixon's day. Opening up China for trade, and floating currency. Nobody is going to best China in trade, and currency linked to nothing is like a standard of measurement without a standard - worthless except to speculators.

If he thinks he'll be brought to justice for war crimes and executed I believe he would drop one on his way out, yes.

If Putin is a war criminal worthy of execution, then Obama, Bush and Clinton need to be next up on the gallows.

I think I've seen this shot before.

Biden is Mr. Pink.

 

[TNVOLNAVY]

If the US was in this war, it'd be like shooting fish in a barrel

Hate to break the news to you Skippy but the US is neck deep in this war thanks to Bidumn.

I am of the opinion that we are at the perfect level of involvement .

 

[evillawyer]

The Ukrainian's have a good sense of humor. They set this video--drone footage of an attack on a collection of Russian vehicles--to AC/DC's Highway to Hell.

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

Amen, brother. Lots of armchair economists claiming the sky's falling tonight.

Pure poppycock.

Enlighten us oh smart one. Why does Ukraine deserve a penny from us?

Not a chance

They bought the biden kid a lot of crack and enhanced the big guy's bank account?

We have to hope China doesn't go to war with us with biden in office. No telling how much we'd give them to assist their fight against us after all they did for the bidens.

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

Lol. Your lack of knowledge is baffling.

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

Well I guess that technically counts

Many of these folks believe the U.S. can invade any country they want and can sell weapons to any country they want. Including countries like Saudi Arabia.

[DonjoVol]

You mean you've been thinking for yourself too? The usual cackling hens here at Volnation don't like that.

 

[DonjoVol]

Lol. Your lack of knowledge is baffling.

Lack of knowledge is a common skill of many of the posters here on Volnation.

One more thing that just went over my head when this was initially reported.

Attack on Ukrainian base came from warplanes inside Russia, Pentagon says, underscoring limits of a no-fly zone



So NATO troops in Ukraine... a non-NATO member. Now, what are the odds that there were NATO trained troops or actual NATO trainers or support staff over the last 8 years in the Donbas?

Pretty good. I have a sibling who has been training troops in all the old soviet countries for the past few years.

Well, there are plenty of reasons - several of which are self-serving which should appeal to you.

You could go with the standard government rationale:

That high level of U.S. involvement is necessary, because "this is about more than just Russia and Ukraine."

"It's about standing for what we believe in, for the future that we want for our world, for liberty, the right of countless countries to choose their own destiny, and the right of people to determine their own futures, or the principle that a country can't change its neighbor's borders by force," Biden said. "If we do not stand for freedom where it is at risk today, we'll surely pay a steeper price tomorrow."

Or you could see the moral / humanitarian aspects of helping fellow human beings being killed and their property absconded for no legitimate reason.

Or, lastly, you could recognize that Ukraine may only be the first country to be invaded by Russia, thereby likely leading to an even larger conflict for us in the future:

You mean we can't?

60 APCs and 45 vehicles purportedly KIA yesterday.

Hmmm. What's that from and what is the difference between the red and gray lines?

 

[DonjoVol]

Just your daily reminder that the people who lied about Russian Collusion, Kyle Rittenhouse, Jussie Smollett, Dr Robert Malone and the Covington Catholic kids are now telling the truth about Ukraine.

You guys and gals enjoy your day.
