  1. "We will of course do everything to keep our country safe," says Boris Johnson. We’re joined in our outrage with allies and friends around the world, he adds, saying the UK will work with them for however long it takes to ensure Ukraine's independence and sovereignty is restored. This "act of wanton and reckless aggression" is an attack on democracy and freedom in eastern Europe and throughout the world, he continues. He ends by saying this crisis is about the right of a country to choose their own future and that is a right the UK will always defend. https://www.bbc.com/news/live/world-europe-60454795 Yup, this is an attack on democracy everywhere. That explains the positive reaction of some 100% agree there
  2. Well, you guys got one less country to have a free media in.
  3. Ya, they didn’t want an expanded war with China, sort of like you don’t want WW3 now. And on the tactical level there were few off limits, air strikes were called in with little thought of collateral damage. That whole war was a blunder
  4. De-Nazification of Ukraine? Putin is a trash man Destroy his army!
  5. ok What targets were off limits? I know there were, but wasn't that because of the vast human suffering hitting them would cost?
  6. Nice post!!! Yes, so true. But this is a very different situation. You might be right, I might be overly optimistic, ya. But not for the this reason above. Russia is attacking with tanks and other equipment. They will have the air superiority, probably It's sort of like the Brits trying to conquer the Yanks in the 1770's. The Russians are more like the Americans in Nam here and the Ukranians are more fit for role of Vietcong and NVA. Make sense?
  7. Defensive war, a just war, a war of liberation, a war of freedom...
  8. A guy launches a war of aggression and that's not murder? Different values, I guess
  9. You were literally excusing the actions of Putin, and I'm the ass???
  10. No, its murder in this case. No reason to invade. Why you excusing Putin??
  11. He’s doing fine. American transport planes still arriving with weapons. Hopefully Putin won’t murder that many people
  12. Pompeo: I have enormous respect for Putin 😕 A minority of Americans, yes
  13. Seems funny is all. People bash Biden and saw nothing bad about Putin. That’s all. We are already on the line there. Biden is putting a sharp stick right Putin eyes by sending more and more weapons right into Ukraine to kill Russian soldiers. It’s like the Berlin airlift. Should we stop because Putin might shoot down own weapons carrying planes? You know Putin would if he could get away with it. But the USAF is looking over their shoulder. 🇺🇸 Does that make you nervous? You brought up an aircraft carrier getting hit.
  14. We won’t have to put American lives on the line. The Ukrainians are going to fight for their nation, we are giving them more weapons by the minute, anti tank weapons, anti aircraft weapons, killer drones and lots of sniper rifles. I hope we support that with our drones. Here is a good weapon. https://www.nbcnews.com/news/military/kamikaze-drones-new-weapon-brings-power-peril-u-s-military-n1285415 And this new generation of Raptor drones are pretty nasty https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_Atomics_MQ-9_Reaper With a 66 ft (20 m) wingspan, and a maximum payload of 3,800 lb (1,700 kg), the MQ-9 can be armed with a variety of weaponry, including Hellfire missiles and 500 lb (230 kg) laser-guided bomb units.[36] Its endurance is 30 hours when conducting ISR missions, which decreases to 23 hours if it is carrying a full weapons load.[37] The Reaper has a range of 1,000 nmi (1,150 mi; 1,850 km)[dubious – discuss] and an operational altitude of 50,000 ft (15,000 m), which makes it especially useful for long-term loitering operations, both for surveillance and support of ground troops.[38 Yikes! Actually it is https://www.npr.org/2022/02/15/1081009674/russia-opposition-leader-alexei-navalny-new-trial-prison-putin
