"This simple and profound question is the fundamental issue when it comes to deciding how to respond to Putin’s declaration of war in Ukraine. All of the usual suspects in terms of bloviating politicians and frenzied pundits are filling the airways with the modern version of “Remember the Maine.” They are desperate to rally the American people for a new military venture overseas. Our military-industrial complex has no qualms about feeding gullible Americans into a war meat grinder. The usual approach is to sucker patriotic folks into believing they are defending freedom, protecting democracy or destroying tyranny. And they do this without any self-awareness or irony. Hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants flood across our southern border and the cast of despicable characters hollering about the sanctity of Ukraine’s border with Russia do not say a damn thing about protecting our border. Just count up the number of Republican Senators and Representatives who are saying we must act strongly against Russia and have remained mute on our own border security." https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2022/02/willing-die-ukraine/Quien Sabe, GWB

Hell no.
Isn't this just a response to what's been brewing since 2014?

Progressives are the most open minded, tolerant, and inclusive people on the planet, as long as you agree with everything they say, and do exactly as you're told.

Fu ck no, let Chelsea Clinton and Hunter Biden die for their precious mommy and daddy's graft/corruption/child trafficking connections in Ukraine.

No.
If we had a president, Ukraine wouldn't be in this position.
I'll add a question we will soon be able to ask.
How about Tiawan?
Without a strong American leader, that's coming.
Democrats, especially weak ones, tend to get us involved in wars.
This one is weak on foreign policy.
He is so weak, we have gatherings of 100k, in areas that should support him,
at events that would attract his kind, singing "Fűck Joe Biden".
It's pretty obvious he is going to be ineffectual.

Interesting quote there gw.
I wonder how many members' retirement portfolios have some Lockheed-Martin, Boeing, Raytheon, etc holdings?

No, Ukraine is a corrupt schithole, but with the severity of the banking & financial sanctions not be levied, Putin will likely lash out with a pile of cyber attacks on the US & other western nations.
That could easily provoke a quick expansion of the hostilities................if we are remotely still able.
Whole situation is not good & very volatile.

Somebody please explain to me what in the Phuq we as a country could possibly gain by going to war over Ukraine. I’m at a total loss, other than maybe to hide the Bribem’s family ties to their government.
This benefits no one in the US, and sure as hell won’t benefit Russia.
But a war between Russia and the US is surely of great benefit to China and the CCP!
Still think this POS was duly elected as President ? I never did.
If there’s anyone I consider a danger to myself, my family and my freedom, that enemy is in Washington DC, not Russia.
You’re welcome to change my mind, but I doubt you can.

My dad was from Ukraine. He and his parents had to leave right before WWII due to persecution. We don't have any family left there.
I ain't supporting Russia and I don't wish harm on the Ukraine, but I can't think of a single reason to put an American life in harm's way for this. Certainly send the Ukrainians arms so they can defend themselves, if that's what they're willing to do (I suspect a lot would just let the Russians take over), but that's it.
Eliminate qualified immunity and you'll eliminate cops who act like they are above the law.
