if russia gets away with invading ukraine they will not stop there, iamerica was trying to keep out of ww2 but they had a slight problem in pearl harbour
if russia gets away with invading ukraine they will not stop there,
Nonsense! Where would they go next? All are NATO counties. That is the whole reason Russia is taken a stand with Ukraine. NATO keeps expanding to try to take over Russia and Russia isn't having it. Ukraine is Russia's last buffer zone before NATO puts Russia in checkmate.
it's about Biden escalating the war into WW3
The fact that they are now allowing Ukraine to do this means that they were not allowing them up until this point. The reason for not allowing was said because they didn't want to 'escalate' the war with Russia. If that is the case and they are now allowing it, it can only mean one thing, they want to 'escalate' the war with Russia.
The problem Ukraine and Russia have is a regional problem, with disputes going back hundreds of years. All the parties speak Russian. They need to work it out.
This is the dominant attitude of the nearby states where I have friends and relatives. They are appalled at the endless supply of cash flowing into Ukraine from NATO and the USA.
It is producing nothing but dead bodies, and a poor economy for everyone nearby. I predict that they will work out some compromise. Trump will make sure of that. In the end, all the soldiers will have died for nothing because NATO and the US stoked the fires. Thanks Joe.

So am I. And so are, I believe, 71 million voters.
I don't know if it's actually CA$H or if it's really weapons. The Military Industrial Complex is who is really promoting this was (and every conflict for the past 25+ years).
I find that Americans who complain about how much money has been spent on the Ukraine-Russian war, fail to recall how many TRILLIONS of dollars the US government gladly spent to send the Soviet Union broke on the arms and space races of 1945 to 1990s. Showing that the money and equipment the the Ukrainians received is nothing in compared to that ... no even a drop in the proverbial bucket.
Lets look at the facts.
So far the US has given about 55 billion dollars in cash and equipment.
However one defense project, the Ronald Reagan Star Wars system (which actually failed to work) cost your tax payers, 30 billion (1985 dollars). Now just add up all anti-communistic programs and proxy wars America paid for over the decades ... and you should develop a different perspective on this issue.
Oh yeah, this is going to end well. Having a world was nice while it lasted. 🌎

It’s not that Americans fail to recall the Trillions of dollars the US government spent in 1945. It’s that it makes no sense to recall and cry about something that happened 80 years ago.
Crying about the past is what Democrats do. They cry about slavery that happened HUNDREDS OF YEARS ago, and now they want EVERY SINGLE WHITE PERSON alive, MAN, WOMEN AND CHILD, to make Reparations or restitution provided to the Decedents of victims of injustice such as slavery. They want compensation in the forms of financial payments, land, or whatever they can take from the white people. It’s call Legalized STEALING AND PLUNDER.
The population of the United States in 1945 was approximately 139 million people. Of those 139 million people between 50-64% are still alive, most of whom are in their 70s or 80s.
The average life expectancy at birth in the U.S. is currently estimated to be 77.5 years. This figure varies by sex, with males having a life expectancy of 74.8 years and females 80.2 years.
So all those Americans living in 1945 are Old Dudes and Gals who will all be gone in the next 10 or so years.
The estimated population of the United States in 2024 is approximately 341,814,420 not counting all the illegal immigrants when estimates are in the 20-30 million.
That means that majority of Americans have no idea what happened in 1945 and couldn’t care less what happened in the past. We are concerned with what happens NOW.
I’m not even 30 years old and do you think I care about all the Atrocities committed by Genghis Kan.
Genghis Khan is estimated to have killed around 40 million people during his conquests, by Massacre, famine, genocide, and androcide. People couldn’t care less what happened in the past.
Americans care about what is happening NOW. It’s our time. And it only makes sense to complain about what’s happening TODAY………..NOT WHAT HAPPENED 80 YEARS AGO WHEN MOST OF US WEREN’T EVEN BORN.
The US economy is 20 trillion dollars. Donald Trump 2016-2020 added 7.2 trillion to the national debt his first go around. The majority of US aid has been soon to be decommissioned military equipment. Hardly any of the money even leaves the continental United States. It just goes to manufacturing jobs in the American rust belt. The spin off for the oil and gas and mining industries by cutting off Russia from the world order , far surpasses the help we give Ukraine. Half of Europe now is being heated by American LPG.
The idea we are making some significant sacrifice helping Ukraine is absolute horseshit.
