The issue is it's none of our business, and we have plenty of problems here we should be working on - rather than trying to cover up Biden's corruption over in the Ukraine -- because that's what this is really all about.
No. Putin wants to restore the Soviet Union, or maybe the Russian empire. That’s what this is all about. After we finally won the Cold War, you want to roll the clock back to those days?

40BIl of aid for the Ukrainians to keep testing our equipment.

Nay ADVERTISING our equipment.

1 bil = roughly 6,000 javelins or about 5,000 destroyed Russian tanks, APC's etc.

I think a lot of countries around the world are taking note that the Russians are about a generation behind in terms of most of their military.

Some of their stuff is really good, just hampered by their military structure or the overall integration. I have a lot of admiration for some of the qualities of Russian people but they've been done a disservice of leadership for centuries.

I think the average Russian is great, the average Russian leader is a murderous, corrupt, incompetent arse.

P.S. I've said on this forum numerous times that the best form of govt. is *for a time* a benevolent dictatorship. Someone highly competent with love of country, in other words the "good king". The problem however, is that then the king gets a little crazy or has a son that is crazy etc. then the same mechanisms that focused the power into the hands of competency focuses the power into the hands of idiocy.

Did you want the commies to take over Vietnam, or for Sadam to keep sitting on his weapons of mass destruction?

It's so random, the causes that left-wing people decide to take on. Now they're defending tens of billions of dollars in war spending for a country on the other side of the globe. Who thought we would ever see the day?

We are basically funding their war. Just no boots on the ground. No different than Iraq...someone else is just doing the fighting at our expense.

When are you enlisting keyboard warrior? Have Congress that hasn't done it since WW 2 declare war with Russia to see if the people are for it and let the people debate it and vote?


NATO expanded from 16 countries during the Cold War to 30 countries today and the U.S. has the military in over 200 counties but you feel a threat because Russia took part of Ukraine?


What's the threat? These are the same geniuses that got us into Vietnam mess and the Iraq war and the Afghanistan debacles and are ignoring real Americans in the U.S.


Anybody that puts Ukraine over the American people is garbage and shouldn't be in government.

LOL, Tucker Carlson would be screaming bloody murder if we weren't giving Ukraine military aid, and you damn well know it. He will criticize any and everything Biden does. He's an actor and a pro-Putin traitor to this country.

If you bother to look at the video he goes after Republicans also. I hope the DNC is paying you well to be a political hack. It would suck if you do it for free. I hope you really enlist keyboard warrior and are not just talk.

So putting Americans first is being a pro-Putin traitor? You can't make this up.

Nice spew of insults there! That's what a person does who's got nothing. Note that I said nothing about Republicans, only Carlson. Apparently reading comprehension is above your pay grade.

Carlson is well known for being a puppet of Putin, just like your dear Trump was.

Except for Tucker Carlson, the conservative media has largely cast a critical eye toward Russian aggression
