they help others even at their own expense some time but hey, you keep calling people pussies and globalists for wanting to help end the needless suffering of others. It seems to suit you.

WTF? We won't fix our own freaking border, but we will someone else's on the other side of the world? WTF? (I can't say WTF one more time or he'll appear)

I was MADE to focus on COVID? In what thread did that happen?
You are being manipulated.
Our own nation has a border being over-run. Our own nation has hundreds of thousands dying. Our own nation is being impoverished by rampant inflation.
Yet you are focused on Ukraine.
UH, in a thread on Ukraine? Kinda the point. You would only have to do a simple investigation of my writing here to see that I talk about every subject including inflation and hundreds of thousands of Americans dying from the drugs crossing the border in which I described what I would do to handle that. I have spoken at length about the crime in this country killing thousands. As a matter of fact, I have addressed every single topic you have brought up, at length.
But you choose to criticize me for discussing Ukraine in a thread about Ukraine.
It's not our monkeys, and it's not our circus. But go ahead, provide food, fuel, and weapons to them. Lord knows we didn't get involved in WW2 in a similar manner.
Two words....Lend Lease.
The Lend-Lease policy, formally titled An Act to Promote the Defense of the United States, was a program under which the United States supplied the United Kingdom, Free France, the Republic of China, and later the Soviet Union and other Allied nations with food, oil, and materiel between 1941 and 1945.
Putin won't use nukes? How the fcuk do you KNOW? Desperate men will act in an irrational manner. And while that might be a gamble I'd make with a conventional opponent, it's not when it comes to cracking atoms upon the Earths surface.
How about we apply a little common sense here. So we are worried about Putin using nukes but everyday we tell him that if one single missile goes into a NATO country, Poland in this case, we will be at war with Russia! Really? Not afraid he'll use nukes if we do that? We start attacking Russia proper and Putin won't use nukes? Putin will not use nukes because he knows it would be his end. He may have blundered into this war with Ukraine but he isn't North Korea or Iran. But to answer you question, I don't know any more than you know. We are both merely giving opinions, nothing to get so exercised about.
But keep being led around by the nose if you like... make sure you change your pic to some blue and yellow flag.
The Chicoms are laughing along with all the Globohomo crew that just finished keeping you locked up for the last two years.... Originally Posted by texassapper

We have a serious set of issues with an insane amount of homeless peoples, which with our current trajectories with inflation is going to get exponentially worse - IMHO. I would propose that we have more homeless than Ukraine has refugees at this point. Many of us understand the various reasons for homelessness like mental health, substance abuse and on and on.
We are spending the $ of our great-great grand children at this point - for what?!? Besides all of that, with all the political corruption and NWO reset BS going on around us, it is likely to end us in a hot bed of violence in our own streets before too long - considering the breath and depth of our own political ineptitude and corruption.
In a nutshell, we best be fixing our own smelly shit-house before we make some dopey attempts to fix someone else's smelly shit-house on the other side of the planet.
America First - Ukraine about 23rd or so in my book
Hope we can still grab a couple craft-brews from time to time.

Yeah, the ChiComs watching the Russian military having their asses handed to them are laughing at the US? They are more likely asking "what the fuck did we just hook our wagon to, and might this be what happens to us, have most of the world condemn us and cut off trade as much as possible, if we try the same thingBlah blah blah... Again, it's be great if you figured out how to format a post properly... maybe try using that old preview function, eh?
What keeps the ChiComs up at night is losing trade and cooperation with the West. They can't be a world power with only Russia, Iran and North Korea as allies. Originally Posted by HedonistForever

I know all about lend lease - hence the sarcasm of we didn't get involved in WW2 doing similar things... to whit... we DID get involved for the same stupid shit you are proposing now..
The ChiComs aren't worried about shit... they are weakening the Russians and they have all those lovely resources sitting in the Far East on Chinas northern border.
They are also learning from the Wests reaction and figuring out how to blunt the same when they move on Taiwan... and they will move... before the 2024 elections... they aren't going to pass up the opportunity of Beijing Biden fumbling around in the White House...
Think what you like, you don't know the first damn thing about the geopolitical situation or Chinese aspirations... anymore than you know how to format a post. Originally Posted by texassapper

And would you mind giving us your bona fides on geopolitics and Chinese aspirations? Originally Posted by HedonistForeverYes actually I would. I can demonstrate my knowledge by accurate predictions. You? Not so much.

MITT ROMNEY’S SONS
Republican Senator Mitt Romney has five sons: Tagg, Matt, Josh, Ben and Craig Romney (here).
Tagg is the co-founder of Solamere Capital, a Boston-based private equity investment firm where he serves as managing partner (here). Matt is a managing director at a Salt Lake City real estate firm called Sundance Bay (here). Josh is the president and founder of the Romney group, a real estate investment company in Salt Lake City ( here , here ). Ben is a radiologist in Murray, Utah (here). Craig is the director of asset management for Sundance Bay (here).
Reuters could not find an explanation for posts linking any of Romney’s sons to an energy company doing business in Ukraine.
When reached for comment, Arielle Mueller, press secretary for Senator Romney, told Reuters via email: “We don’t comment on fake news from random internet trolls.”
