Yeaeah sure...... Imma go ahead an vote no!
The feckless and careless attitudes of conservatives is- we like wars- because they allow us to show off how much firepower we have- unless those wars are in other countries- where we aren't on the front lines. Like Reagan said- safety through strength, trust but verify and of course- Then it's poor boo-hoo bubbling lips and see how bad these people who defend themselves against a superpower are being obliterated?!!! A core tenet of conservative ideology is the belief in a strong national defense. This belief is rooted in the understanding that a powerful military is essential for protecting the nation from foreign threats and maintaining peace and stability around the world! FOREIGN THREATS AND MAINTAINING PEACE.
It's in the US's interest to stop all this from happening but also follow the core tenants of a democratically elected leader. It's the whole reason we were in Vietnam and fought in many other wars- but saying- ahh this time it's different!
The only difference is we are showing our hand at being weak and NOT standing up for our beliefs and saying to those countries being oppressed that we prefer our war veterans not getting caught behind lines, and the countries we support not getting the shit blown out of them. "Sorry Charlie- you lose- we are taking our ball to go home."
I mean if you truly gave a shit- you'd enable and suggest that Ukraine gets to fight fire with fire- air defense and offense. A-10's and Apaches- Not just ground battles & rockets that destroy everything. This is WWI and II bullshit. Also- why isn't Putin being called out for leveling cities and civilian sites alone. That's where the horror story of dead ppl and carnage really lays. Why is our POTUS snuggled up with the guy who is literally Hannibal the Carthage barbarian in modern day clothes. This is fucked 3 ways to Sunday when you think about it. Why would you support a guy who is a known liar, a known manipulator, and a known KGB trained operative? Why would you start negotiating with him to suggest that lands be traded in a peace deal that isn't enforceable except for security guarantees which are totally unenforceable. Not only that, but would be an open invitation to have the US join into the next skirmish. IDIOTIC.
Or within the continental US- by kicking AMERICANS off of medicaid- because "we think you're ok to roll that wheelchair grandma out to the fields and pick some of those veggies before they rot, so you can afford to get that insulin"
And while we are at it- I suppose you are fine with our domestic national guard destroying the lives of people less fortunate than others - who are homeless. Watching them drag someone's entire life and belongings into a garbage truck- sayanara and thanks for playing DJTs game of "fuck-you, because!".
Both are wars- and both end up with people dying- just one is by arms and the other is by government. "were here to serve and protect-"
According to foreign leaders in the UK that are supporting Ukraine, they are ALL saying that it is wrong for any country to be foreced to cede any territory by force when they are being occupied by another country without conceding directly. ERGO- no third party or Tri-lateral agreements that suggest ceding properties and land without all parties agreeing. Even Daddy Vlad said he wouldn't be held to such an agreement if it meant leaving anything he wanted on the table. You REd Hats are a bunch of hypocrites.
