But since they're practically a Russian colony at this point, it makes sense that they yip whenever master tugs their leash. 1

Where I'm coming from is that war is brutal should be avoided at all costs but when you have ignorant nations with no respect for human life you're basically screwed. I don't know that our role in this war is exactly noble either. We have our ulterior motives in this war

But it is interesting to me to see why people think what they think. Just now, TSOL said: Where I'm coming from is that war is brutal should be avoided at all costs but when you have ignorant nations with no respect for human life you're basically screwed. I agree. Just now, TSOL said: I don't know that our role in this war is exactly noble either. We have our ulterior motives in this war Yup. But if you're looking for a morally pure country to live in... well nobody sells real estate in space. 6 minutes ago, Chris farley said: Peace is good for the people that live in those two crap governments.

They don't, unless they achieve air superiority, and there is no current path to that now. The F-16 is not going to provide that. It will take years for that to become a change maker. This thing is a body grinding stalemate. The oversold counter offensive isn't going that well, and it takes multiples more munitions to be offensive rather than defensive. 1

That was my point, I just don't see what strategic end our government sees coming from the international welfare program we are running over there, that isn't going to cut it. Russia is just going to wait it out terrorizing that nation until the west either gives in or sends troops And if that was to happen Russia is just chomping at the bit to drop a nuke on that nation. Which is what they will do if NATO ever was to send troops

Now that we've read the required public service announcement. Does it need to be anything more than a target of opportunity chance to mess with Russia and disrupt their objective to spread their influence in Europe, ME, Asia, and Africa? It's just not a real good plan from the folks in Washington from an execution perspective.

Europe does certainly need a buffer from Russia, but Europe may need to face the fact that we need to concede Ukraine or send NATO troops. Which in my opinion is a recipe for disaster Sh*ts getting real in that conflict. Russia is not going to pack up and go home because we sent 30 M1A1 Abrams

You always make it seem like the free nations are to blame. Why is that? Comrade?
