    I just heard the US should send vastly more weapons. Russia just declared themselves the enemy, the US must ensure the destruction of their ability to wage war.

        Of course not. Russia is killing hundreds of thousands of people and it is imperative their ability to continue is stopped.

        Not giving aid to Ukraine when they needed it most was GOP playing a fucking game. US should have taken this seriously and intervened in Feb 22 when they knew this shit was going to happen weeks before Russia launched their stupid invasion.

          Seriously.

          Biden and the rest of NATO should have said something along these lines:

          If you intend to proceed with your invasion of Ukraine, it will fail. If you send transports or helicopters to capture strategic objectives, they will be shot down. If you send ground forces across the border, they will be destroyed with prejudice. If you fire missiles into Ukraine, they will be destroyed, as will their launch platforms, where feasible. We did it to Iraq twice; we can do it to you.

          We will restrict our actions to Ukrainian territorial boundaries at the outset, but be warned: any attack on NATO or allied assets outside of Ukraine will be met with immediate lethal response.

          This is not a negotiation. This is a statement of policy going forward.

          So fuckin tired of limpdick neoliberal geopolitical leadership.

          Usa and the west have been helping ukraine for decades and sent them billions already.

          https://www.nytimes.com/2024/02/25/world/europe/cia-ukraine-intelligence-russia-war.html

          The west have been working with russia and selling them weapons too in the past years. Rulers and politicians are indeed playing a fucking game which is called war, a game in which they act as the puppeteers and have fun sending peasants to die in the front over a bunch of invisible lines on the map

            Thank god the only thing needed for this war to stop is Russia to stop waging war against Ukraine and fuck off back home, right?

            Or is it everyone else’s fault Russia started a war?

              They don’t seem to want to stop so i have another idea, what about stop doing business with china, saudi arabia, turkey, israel and any other country selling weapons and making business with russia?

              Why do you think this isn’t happening and pretty much every western government is ok with russian chilling in abu dhabi?

                hey I know you haven’t heard this one before but it’s kind of relevant for this discussion

                Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and to remove all doubt.

        No, Russia is extremely dangerous and we should arm Ukraine to the teeth to give them the best possible chance of repelling the invasion. The US needs to ensure this war ends Russian military capability for the foreseeable future, in the interest of global security.

    I just wish Putin’s hirelings in Congress felt the same way about Russia as the Kremlin does about the US.

    The kremlin did that two decades ago. Everything spewed out of that cesspool has been hot, noxious air since then.
