Got an email today wanting to know if i wanted to go to Poland on the Ukranian Border

[Commercecomet24]

Sorry i started this thread....i was asked to go help with Ukrainian immigrants not to fight. It touched me to see the little innocent children suffering but i just can't risk going there with 2 years left to retire.

You're a good dude for all your service my man! Watching those children(any children) suffer because of the stupidity of others is tragic, they are completely innocent! I can sure understand why you didn't go, though! Thank you for your service!

[BeardoMSU]

Again. What US values are we defending in the Ukraine? There have been dozens of bloody conflicts around the globe that we totally ignored. Why now?

Don't be glib and pretend to not know our political alliances.

[BeardoMSU]

He is literally meaningless, but he is a nuclear power. He is not coming for us.

Can't even bring yourself to say anything negative?

Also very glib, lol.

Again. You have not demonstrated what dog we have in this hunt. If you are that supportive of the cause, I will pay for your ticket to Kiev.

Do you think Putin has done anything wrong? Simple Q.

Say something bad about Putin.

[Barkman Turner Overdrive]

Lol, ok? I can give you a list that goes back much further, but its still not pertinent to the topic at hand.

Do you think Putin has done anything wrong? Simple Q.

WTF? That matters not. What has he done to warrant spilling US blood and treasure?

Simple Q. What values would we be defending in Ukraine? You have never answered that.

[Barkman Turner Overdrive]

Say something bad about Putin.

He is a KGB thug. What values are you defending in the Ukraine?

[Dolphus Raymond]

It is obvious that some remain sore at Zelensky for not giving in to the former President?s blackmail demands. Sad, but not surprising.

[Joebob]

I'm just dumbfounded that there are people that think Zelensky should surrender, or that pretending that we don't have a dog in this fight will work out any better than it did in the 1930s. But you know what they say about history.

[BeardoMSU]

He is a KGB thug. What values are you defending in the Ukraine?

Again, as others have pointed out, we're not fighting Russia. But off the top of my head....
Democracy, an ally, Western safety, potentially NATO, keeping an autocrat from rebuilding the USSR, and having solidarity with all our free world allies that this shit wont be tolerated.

You keep mentioning "Ukrainian values". Do me a favor and spill it...wtf are you talking about?

[BeardoMSU]

I'm just dumbfounded that there are people that think Zelensky should surrender, or that pretending that we don't have a dog in this fight will work out any better than it did in the 1930s. But you know what they say about history.

Yep.

[Barkman Turner Overdrive]

It is obvious that some remain sore at Zelensky for not giving in to the former President?s blackmail demands. Sad, but not surprising.

What about the corruption charges against the current President’s son and Ukraine?

[Dolphus Raymond]

BTO, you just answered a question I have been asking myself for two weeks.
As for what values we are defending, they are the same values we so aptly demonstrated by holding the Nuremberg Trials.

[BeardoMSU]

What about the corruption charges against the current President’s son and Ukraine?

What about?!?!**

[Barkman Turner Overdrive]

Democracy, an ally, Western safety, potentially NATO, keeping an autocrat from rebuilding the USSR, and having solidarity with all our free world allies that this shit wont be tolerated.

Wait? Wasn’t that what we were fighting for in Afghanistan and Iraq? And we saw our resolve there.

[Barkman Turner Overdrive]

What about?!?!**

You can look those up yourself.
