You don’t negotiate with authoritarian aggressors. Much less compliment or encourage them.
The expense is a red herring. It’s cost us comparatively little in aid to seriously diminish Russia’s military capability.
Only Russian loving, democracy hating, sheep see otherwise.
The red herring is we will inherit the financial burden of the entire Ukraine population for the next century .. Puerto Krania
How many decades will it take to weaken Russia? The Ukraine will run out of men before that happens

So the entire MIC is just a bunch of establishment Dems and neo-cons. OK.
Do Trump supporters of Republicans not receive campaign donations from defense contractors?

Longer we wait the more it will cost, might as well have it out now. I don't think you're so out-of-touch that you seriously believe that Putin will stand down for any longer than it takes to rearm. Spend him into oblivion just like we did the Soviet Union.

Re: The Ukraine Crisis
He didn't spend $200,000,000 on the campaign without expecting an ROI. Leaving Sideshow Bob sucking hind tit while he assumed the VPship was a nice move though. About now JD is realizing that he was right about Trump the first time and how did he let himself get suckered into going from being a US senator to his present insignificantness.
Leon: "Boy, I told you I want cream on the side with my coffee, now you shag your phony-hillbilly ass back into that kitchen and make my coffee right!" (turns to trump) "Where the fuck did you find that loser anyway?"

Re: The Ukraine Crisis
The issue is Putin holds all the cards. Ukraine doesn't have much more left in them. In addition, Trump was the one who allowed nastier weapons than Obama into Ukraine. I think all of Trump's bluster is for domestic consumption and he'll actually have to negotiate with Putin. It's sad the neocons fucked the Ukrainians over for a dollar or two.Gil Dobie wrote: ↑Mon Dec 02, 2024 7:42 amI agree on Putin.

And hard pass on letting Ukraine in NATO. Ukraine should be grateful that Trump won and they get to keep access to the Black Sea, otherwise they were on track to be a land locked rump state.

Or are you arguing that everyone trump pardoned and will pardon is guilty and should be behind bars?

That's not what they said, that's the children's book version of that decision. If you're not going to read it all the way through, then you're missing all of the details about what was and wasn't decided. Be better.

Re: The Ukraine Crisis
I think it's a valid point to consider if what happened in Ukraine would've happened if Trump was still in office. Clearly Putin could've pulled the trigger on a full scale invasion earlier, and during Trump's first term, if he wanted, but he didn't. You have to wonder if what happened in Afghanistan and the way that we scampered out of there played a part in Putin assessing what Biden would and wouldn't do if he invaded Ukraine. Would the same things have transpired under Trump? Hard to tell. But it's certainly worth considering.UNI88 wrote: ↑Tue Dec 03, 2024 8:51 amYou probably believe the bullshit fairy tale that putin wouldn't have invaded Ukraine if trump hadn't gotten his ass kicked in 2020.SDHornet wrote: ↑Mon Dec 02, 2024 10:42 pm
