But to smarter people, it’s evidence that our support has paid off in a big way No it’s evidence that they need no more and are just fine. It’s also evidence that if we provided nothing we would have wiped them out if they tried to go into a nato nation. but keep going with that war machine. Maybe we can overthrow another govt so we can do more wars 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If they’re still willing to fight and Russia is still occupying their territory, I don’t how it matters to us. Tragic, yes, but they were invaded At any rate, as I understand, their casualties have also been significant, maybe 2/3rds of the Russian casualties from many estimates Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

seafoam1 2,803 Posted December 13, 2023 What a shame. Ukraine, the human trafficking capital of the world could have been wiped clean and the US could have used the money they spent to lockdown the southern border here, but no, democrats only want to support wars in foreign countries at the expense of the American people.

KSB2424 3,148 Posted December 13, 2023 I feel like it’s time to regroup on all things Ukraine. Here’s the rub. Putin is the bad guy and Russia is the aggressor. Let’s get that out there. However Ukraine and Zelensky aren’t to far off the bad actors tree themselves. For as much as Liberals call anyone they disagree with “Nazis”, they sure do love them some Ukraine. 1. I’m for public and financial support for Ukraine. However we, the U.S. are much further away from this conflict than Europe. Let them foot most of the bill and we match some of it. 2. I trust Zelensky None. He is a used car salesman. I’m 99.9 % sure he’s getting uber rich off this war. 3. It is perfectly acceptable as an American citizen to look at the lack of control we have on our own borders but throw Billions to protect another's. Not only is it acceptable it’s logical to ask that question. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

listen2me 23 1,825 Posted December 14, 2023 Guys like Tim are goofy. Nows the time to talk peace and come to an agreement. Why couldn't America try harder in administrating a peace negotiation as it was ramping up? Oh thats right, because many in politics here welcome war. Russia is compromised! Russia is exposed! Goofs like Rusty have said this for months. Then why are they occupying Ukrainian territory at this point on the war? If Russia is on thr brink and has a terrible army then why not finish the mission? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Who's going to rebuild Ukraine, us. Whether they know it or not will be the occupiers. AND RUSSIA KNOWS THAT. That's why we're invested so heavily. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GobbleDog 984 Posted December 20, 2023 Quote Zelenksy - military seeks to mobilize 500,000 soldiers At a news conference in Kyiv, President Zelnsky said his commanders were seeking "450,000-500,000 individuals", admitting this was a "sensitive" and costly issue. His comments come in the wake of aid setbacks from the US and the EU. Ukraine is facing an ammunition shortage as it continues to fight occupying Russian forces, following Moscow's full-scale invasion in February 2022. Kyiv's counter-offensive ground to a halt at the start of winter and there are fears that the Russians could simply outgun Ukraine. He said this was a "very serious number" and he needed more in-depth discussion before committing to the plan. "I need specifics: what will happen to the million-strong army of Ukraine, what will happen to those guys who have been defending our state for two years? We have issues of rotation and holidays." But he ruled out any proposals to mobilize women. When asked about whether Ukraine could be on the cusp of starting to lose the war, Mr Zelensky was firm. "No," was the answer. During the briefing, Mr Zelensky also said that: Ukraine would be able to produce a million drones in 2024 He had "working relations" with Ukraine's top military commander Zaluzhnyi, playing down reports of a rift between the pair Peace talks with Russia were not feasible, stressing that he seeks to restore in full Ukraine's internationally recognized borders, including Crimea https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-67767246 No women? Don't necessarily have to put them on front lines. Maybe just the dykes. Interestingly, before Hitler invaded Russia they badly miscalculated their potential army size... mainly because never considered women. Nearly a million ended up fighting.

I believe his goal was to be in Kiev in a few weeks, Russia lost hundreds of thousands of men, and NATO expanded so I wouldn’t say he has won. I doubt he counted on the US crossing his redlines over and over again. He also will end up with some land in Ukraine I’d bet so it’s not an absolute loss either.
