Still not clear why you bed wetting morons think being pro-Ukrainian makes you patriotic Americans.
That's because your misguided and extreme biases render you incapable of even formulating the issue correctly. The issue is why you think being pro-Russian doesn't make you an un-patriotic American. It clearly does.
You're an imbecile. How is wanting American money spent on Americans rather than Ukrainians for the benefit of Europeans "pro-Russian"?
You don't give a sh*t about Ukraine. You're just pretending to care because you're a mindless fool who will pretend to care about anything the media tells you to pretend to care about.
Coming soon to a theater near you: more dead Russians, forced to fight for no reason.
We can add M1 tanks to the extensive list of things you know nothing about.
These tanks are nothing like fire and forget missile systems. It takes a lot of training to be able to use them. The fire control systems are computerized. If you don't know how to align the gun with the computer you'll never hit anything you shoot at it.
Plopping an amateur into a ferrari doesn't make them a proficient driver even if you give them a few weeks of training.
You've been so wrong on Ukraine I'm inclined to just go against every prediction you make.

And it's worked great so far.
5 days, tops
Yea me and every military expert on the planet...
I'm still amazed you aren't too embarrassed to show your face here after your hilariously bad takes on COVID. You made 5 days tops look like the best prediction ever by comparison.
AdultRoom just can't help telegraph his pro-Russian/anti-American desires and wishes.
Ukrainians will do fine with the tanks. Ukrainians that are already experienced with tank technologies and operations will undergo sophisticated training in the UK, Germany and Poland (and maybe even the US, on the hush-hush) on the M-1 Abrams, Leopard 2 and UK Challengers. They are going to kill A LOT of Russians later this spring and summer.
31 Abrams
28 Leopards (14 from Germany and 14 from Poland)
12 Challengers
Probably another 20 or so from other countries (France, Portugal, Netherlands)
That adds up to a lot of dead Russians (for a mere $300 a month). The average scumbag Russian bozo isn't even aware of what's coming down on them.

As one who followed free-thinking Russian youtube commentators from before this conflict, all three of whom have now had to flee Russia, and as one who has both Russian and Ukrainian friends and co-workers, ALL of whom support Ukraine in this existential fight, I can say that I support Ukraine's right to exist as a democratic sovereign state, NOT as a puppet state of Putin, the CIA, NATO or anyone else. No intelligent person I know who has been in both countries supports Putin and his fellow rapists in this conflict. This new brand of anti-Ukrainianism seems to be the new space occupied by "new neocon" Trump-lickers who think that Putin is a good guy that would have settled this all of this with a golf game shared with DJT with no bloodshed if Biden hadn't bought the election instead. Yeah right.
This has nothing to do with American patriotism in my case, in fact it is the first U.S. foreign intervention I have fully supported (first Gulf War was somewhat warranted, but not for idealistic reasons) in my six and a half decades on this planet. The proverbial stopped clock of U.S. foreign policy seems to be right roughly every 80 years or so. This is one of those times. So yes it affirms mildly my support for the American military for once being an influence for the better. But my patriotism is for my land and my people, not my government.

What does Ukraine have to do with American land or American people?
Why should the US be paying for the majority of the war?
We're literally spending more on Ukraine than we spent on our own military in a year in Afghanistan.

No one can ever be as idiotic about any topic as Monkey Man was on covid, but I'm afraid you are pretty frickin' close to that level of warped reality on this topic.

Why? I hope Ukraine wins. I just don't think the US should have to pay the lion's share of the bill.
Germany has WAAAY more at stake than we do. Germany to this day is giving more money to Russia than it gives to Ukraine.
It doesn't, but being a Putin fluffer does automatically make someone anti-American. It doesn't matter how many American flags you put on your truck and Twitter profile, or how many times you call yourself a patriot, it's impossible to support Putin and America at the same time.
Not giving a sh*t about Ukraine only means you "support Putin" to stupid people.
100,000+ Americans die every year from fentanyl pouring through our wide open southern border. Forgive me for thinking the $50+ billion we're wasting in Ukraine could be better spent to help actual Americans.
There is nothing stopping your politicians from spending money to address the country's drug addiction problem.
Are you spending any effort to push that issue on here or in real life? Or do you just bring that up whenever you want to shift the conversation?

I put a needle emoji on my Twitter bio so I'm doing as much as all of the Ukrainian heroes in America.
We're $33 TRILLION in debt. There's plenty stopping politicians from addressing the issue. Democrats are also vehemently opposed to securing the border. Anyone who voted Democrat is voting for lawlessness and a rampant opioid crisis.

We're literally spending more on Ukraine than we spent on our own military in a year in Afghanistan.
We have "spent" (provided value often in quasi-retired equipment of no immediate utility) all of ONE QUARTER of the expenditure of the first year of the criminal Bush II Iraq invasion. This doesn't "make up" for that collosal error, but it is immeasurably more important as an existential defence of overall Western safety and integrity and almost all western countries realize what you don't.
BTW I didn't see you when I was out on the streets marching against that Iraq war back when the majority supported it. But that was "just a bunch of hippie left-wing pacifists" to you, I'm sure.

A thriving muslim democracy in the middle of the middle east would have dragged the entire region into the modern world. It was worth a shot. We just underestimated the middle eastern desire to live like stone age morons. The Iraqi people were very happy we were there and thrilled to have Saddam gone.
Russia has already learned it has absolutely zero hope of success if it messes with a NATO country. The point of resistance has been made.

You are a bed-wetting moron. You are well aware that US Abrams tanks in Ukraine are going to kill thousands of Russian soldiers in 2023. You know that for a fact, yet you couldn't resist the impulse to denigrate Ukrainians, their skills and US/NATO efforts with some cheap negative-prediction. That impulse alone makes you pro-Russian/anti-American. And your claims not to care about this conflict or which side succeeds, are belied by your constant presence in the thread mouthing Russian wishful thinking and generic Russian talking points.
Further resort to the tired old tangent about where money can be better spent, as if such a conclusory argument isn't raised in every political debate, is further evidence of your hypocrisy and love of Russia. You know damn well we can spend money killing Russians at the same time we pay drug rehab for your deadbeat fentanyl addicted friends. So coming in here pretending something else is more evidence of your pro-Russian bias.

So you don't really care about opioid deaths either.
Also, if you think opioids deaths are primarily about the border, you are beyond hopeless.

I was a soldier and I served on M1 tanks. I'm well aware that 31 tanks in the hands of amateurs will NOT be killing "thousands of Russian soldiers" particularly when every Russian in the theater is offered a bonus for killing the American tanks.
I'm not "denigrating" Ukrainians. I'm being realistic and understanding that putting these guys in sophisticated weapons like M1 tanks isn't going to magically transform them into 1st world soldiers.
We're $33 TRILLION in debt.. We're about to hit the debt limit. We spend over $400 BILLION every single year just on interest on the debt. Only painfully ignorant morons think we can afford to spend money on anything we want.

Like I said, you're beyond hopeless. You have the depth of a cable news chryon. I know people who OD'd on heroin long before you were told that you could use fentanyl as a political wedge issue. You're about 10 years behind on the problem.

While the U.S. has been battling the Covid-19 pandemic it’s gotten lost in the shuffle that the nation endured record numbers of drug overdose-related deaths. Illicit fentanyl is the primary culprit. Federal, state, and local...
