Russia invades Ukraine

That opinion piece was written by Marc Thiessen. He's a known idiot. He thinks Trump was a good president.

The Internet is overwhelmed with real videos shot by Ukrainians, just check Youtube or Instagram. This type of content is shocking, but I think it will blew away all of your skepticism. Here https://www.pissedconsumer.com/blog/2022/02/the-truth-about-ukraine-should-be-known/ is more info about Russian/Ukrainian war, the post I shared explains the reason of conflict.

So you can't formulate an argument to rebut him? Lol

That's the perfect rebuttal. If you voted for Trump in the last election, your opinion and credibility is pretty much worthless.

Sanctions?

I think we all pretty much agree that war is bad and to be avoided. People get killed and it is destabilizing for the entire world, especially when nuclear superpowers are involved. I can appreciate rooting for the Ukranian people, as for any people caught up in a military conflagration, invariably started by governments and not the man on the street. However, the narrative being pushed by our government and media is flawed in many respects, most particularly in their insistence that anyone who questions them and tries to explore some of the nuances of this conflict is a "Putin sympathizer." There is an alarming trend of this among the government leaders of the West and the corrupt media apparatus. Just a few recent examples: They smeared anyone opposed to vaccine mandates as "anti-vaxxers," suppressed social media questioning aspects of the COVID narrative or the appalling irregularities of the last election, tried calling travel restrictions from China "racist" at the beginning of the pandemic and now insisting that Trump or in fact anyone questioning them are Putin sympathizers. This stuff is straight out of George Orwell's 1984 and "We the People" are pissed off about it!

Support the Ukrainian struggle... but donating to a fringe website. Lot of that going around.

I would normally take those points, but your examples with antivaxers, Trump etc are pretty poor. Most of the examples normally cited are all easy to debunk scientifically. I have no problem if you want to provide some specific better examples, but I suspect that will just go back into the old silly discussions on this forum.

Supporting by calls, no need to donate ANYTHING

The Czech Republic has actually made it illegal to express any support for the Russian invasion.

Putin's machine is NOT doing well. Despite all the cavalier things that Putin said about how much more sophisticated his army was since it took Crimea in 2014, his army still hasn't seemed to be able to execute basic battle drills. They don’t seem to be able to get their combined arms attacks together (infantry, tanks, and artillery working as one) and they definitely don’t yet have air superiority. Without air superiority, you can only do so much.

So until the air superiority is established, it stops being fun and games when the Russians have no more food and zero ammunition, which is pretty much where they find themselves now. If the 65 km long convoy of military vehicles eventually gets resupplied with diapers and food and fuel and bullets, I would expect them to surround Kyiv and wait for hunger to do its evil work on their Ukrainian brothers and sisters. That is when people will be calling on NATO to do more … and that is how WWIII starts.

All of that being said, if Putin does somehow think he can take Ukraine and then look at Poland or Baltic states or whatever … the US Air Force has a little more sophisticated equipment and planning and doctrine than the Russians do. The US would see a 65 KM long convoy of Russian armor and put a JDAM guided bomb onto every single one of them, blowing everyone back to mary, jesus and joseph. Putin has to know that Ukraine is one thing. NATO will bash his face in.

Your 2 favourite countries together,Unkle is in heaven

And you can't either...Typical liberal, no brain, all emotion.

You have favorite countries?

God help us.

Wait, are you serious?

I really enjoy the fact that the people that worship every word of an orange guy that is clearly awful for this country, whine about literally everything, and base most of their morals and values on a fairytale from 2000+ years ago try to pull the “YoU bAse aLL yoUr idEaS oN emoTioN” card on anyone that calls them out on their BS.

it’s truly pathetic.

As an unvaxxed, atheistic Trump- AND Biden-disparaging radical centrist, I despise the fascist dictator Putin and all he stands for. His unhinged actions against an innocent democratic nation and in particular it's civilians show once and for al what a deranged POS he is and no amount of whataboutism about why "the U.S. is worse!" will save him from the depths of Hades upon his death. Things are setting up for a huge, protracted urban insurgency. Ukraine will be his Stalingrad, only he is the invader this time.

Concerns about WWIII being triggered in E Europe aside, China is an entirely different Beast, the question is whether they will move before we can get a competent Commander-in-Chief in place. A little less than three years and the clock is ticking.
