War in Ukraine

But why does Ukraine deserve that much from us? Why can’t other countries kick in more? And don’t say just because they are being invaded by Russia. Ukraine is a corrupt country run by a dictator.

Zelensky is a "dictator", huh. Thank you for sharing your special perspective. Now starting to understand you.

2019 Ukrainian presidential election

The 2019 Ukrainian presidential election was held on 31 March and 21 April in a two-round system.

There were a total of 39 candidates for the election on the ballot. The 2014 annexation of Crimea by Russia and the occupation of parts of Donetsk Oblast and Luhansk Oblast prevented around 12% of eligible voters from participating in the election. As no candidate received an absolute majority of the vote, a second round was held between the top two candidates, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, a comedian who portrayed a fictional president of Ukraine in the comedy television series Servant of the People, and the incumbent president, Petro Poroshenko, on 21 April 2019. According to the Central Election Commission, Zelenskyy won the second round with 73.22% of the votes.

I don't think giving them 4 times more money in one year than we give Israel or Afghanistan every single year is that big of a deal. My bigger question is why do we give those countries BILLIONS EVERY YEAR,
 
WASHINGTON – NATO estimates that up to 40,000 Russian troops have been killed, injured, captured or gone missing during the first month of the Kremlin’s war in Ukraine, an alliance official confirmed to NBC News.

Of those, between 7,000 and 15,000 Russian troops have died, according to the official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity in order to share NATO’s latest intelligence assessment of the ongoing war.

Good. Stack em up like cordwood.
 
The US orchestrated the coup in 2014 and the heavily Russian republics refused to follow that illegitimate govt and chose to breakaway. Fir making that choice, the puppet Ukrainian govt attacked them for 8 years and violated the ceasefire agreements.
You mean the russians used them for human shields and shelled Ukraine. They werent peaceful for 8 years either. Rebellion, especially when backed by a foreign power is always considered an act of violence.

They get to self determinate, but that also means dealing with the consquences of their own choices.
 
Oh let me guess. Anyone who is not a Democrat is a bum? I got it. And you have the audacity to claim the Republican Party is a cult. Yet democrats can't seem to form any original thought that hasn't been approved via their religious sermons on networks like CNN and The Young Turks.

You obviously don't pay attention. Your party has been praising Bush, McCain, Romney, John Bolton and the daughter of Dick Cheney these last 6 years. I bet the vast majority of John Bolton's book sales came from democrats. And they let Joe Scarborough have his own show on MSNBC where he gets to trot out some other neocons to keep that message alive mainly through your precious democrat party.
After repeatedly correcting you about what is said, it tickles me that you accuse anyone else of not paying attention.

Feel bad for the Russian kids cluelessly waltzing into a country where the citizenry is fighting for their lives. They know not what they do.
 
Look, there is probably about 50 satellites parked over that battle zone. IF you think the rest of the free world is lying and hiding the actual facts go ahead, in todays battlefields the truth will be known quickly. There is no hiding with BS propaganda.

Now do Snake Island...

I had a little of that feeling watching the thermal imaging video of the tanks being blown up at night (a few pages back). I can pretty much guarantee you those soldiers didn't want to be sitting there hiding in the forest waiting for missiles to rain down.
