Ukraine

[Merlin99]

Why are we shipping them all of our arms?
1. The enemy of my enemy is my friend
2. Stop the Russian empires rebirth.
3. Ukraine gave up the nukes, when asked.

Why should we stop?
1. It’s a lose/lose situation, Ukraine’s never been our friend and never will be
2. Ukraine was one of the most corrupt regimes before the war with no reason to believe it won’t be afterwards.
3. The potential for all of those high tech, easily transportable weapons getting on the black market and being used against us is very high.


I’m sure there are more points, but those are the ones I see at 5:00am.

Cut them off

I'd rather send them weapons than tons of cash to be handed out to political cronies.

The problem is that if it can take down a mig it can also take down an airbus or a Boeing.

if you watched the video posted this week ... entire truck loads of weapons go missing in transit

Neither ... weapons end up on the Black Market

What does Zelensky have to say that is so important to air his speech live or for him to even speak in front of congress to begin with?

Nevermind - Tucker is explaining it to me now.

What's he saying?

What's he saying?

Apparently the Republicans think their constituents think Ukraine is the most important issue right now and Russia is a threat to the US so we must supply Ukraine with billions.

That's BS.

 

[TPD]

That's BS.

I think I heard Trey Gowdy say something similar on Bret Baier’s show tonight. I need to watch the rerun to see if I heard him correctly. I think Gowdy is on my swamp creature list.

 

[Merlin99]

If the Russians hadn’t invaded Ukraine they would probably be considered in the top 10 enemies of the US.

 

[Monello]

This is Europe's issue to deal with.

My wife and I are registered as Republican, and were never asked our opinion.

****ing politicians do love their wars, don't they? Think what we could do for Americans with 81+ BILLION $$$. And freaking Mitch McConnell all like, "Oh, this is the #1 priority!"

WTF, Kentucky?? Rein in your grifter corrupt warmonger POS.

He can go sit next to the Dans. Freaking traitors.

 

[PeoplesElbow]

Wasn't the deal give up your nukes and we will protect you? We haven't really done that, I suppose giving them other arms is what we are calling protecting them?

NO

we promised Russia NATO and the EU would not spread East

Wrong. Here’s the actual text of the Budapest Memorandum. Nothing of the sort is contained therein.
