  1. 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
  2. In conjunction with the Ukrainian army and drones from many other nations, ya, there’s going to be a lot of burning Russian tanks, armored personal carriers, self propelled artillery and trucks. Attacking units are always vulnerable to attack
  3. Well, its all Putin's fault. Refusing to recognize Ukraine as a sovereign nation and threatening to bring the horrors of war to innocent people is evil. You know he wants to destroy Ukraine because it is a successful democracy with a growing economy? It's making Putin's authoritarian regime look bad.
  4. LOl, oh, that's bad? Face it, anything said by people that scare you ...scares you. Yes, best version of truth means that its hard to get the whole truth but they do they best they can.
  5. Don't think they will have to. We can destroy the Russian army without any boots on the ground Oh
  6. Not wanting to help Ukraine helps Putin, right? How bad is Putin, in your opinion?
  7. You don't think Putin is happy he has friends here trying to limit our response to his aggression?
  8. Part of Putin’s calculation is that he has so many friends and admirers of his brutality here in US. Disgusting!
  9. Well, it’s interesting language. It’s public language. We don’t know what’s been said privately. . Speak softly and carry a big stick. There’s a joke video out there with Biden saying it about Obama, but he was being serious and I suspect he has told Putin about the big stick. We have drones. Very powerful ones. Those Russian tanks can be simply destroyed. That’s not boots on the ground. Ukraine is getting stronger everyday with all sorts of weapons flowing in, so the Abe Lincoln tactic of stalling helps Ukraine and hurts Russia. Im going to predict that if a Russian army starts a major invasion, it gets wiped out by Ukrainians on the ground and a multi-national drone response in the air. At least I hope. Oh, sorry Remember the only time ramped up for war? When his friends in the kingdom of Saudi Arabia were attacked by Iran. Now he’s wooing them for a golf tournament.
  10. Watching Fox, it’s all Biden’s fault. Putin is not portrayed in a bad way at all. Why so pissed, lol? Just asking. I forgot that was a Republican led war. So it’s all good
  11. Fine, I didn’t say anything. I personally wouldn't let a free nation go down to a murderous dictatorship simply because they didn’t sign a contract. I guess the first Gulf War was wrong?
  12. Oh, so its a contractual issue with you. You are willing to risk WW3 because of an agreement. Fine Oh, but it’s still nice to know he’s gone. If Trump won election Putin would digest Ukraine with no push back at all and the Baltic States would be next.
  13. There’s more “Here’s a guy that says, you know, ‘I’m gonna declare a big portion of Ukraine independent’ — he used the word ‘independent’ — ‘and we’re gonna go out and we’re gonna go in and we’re gonna help keep peace,’ ” Trump said. “You gotta say that’s pretty savvy. And you know what the response was from Biden? There was no response.”
  14. But drawing a line? So you actually are willing to risk WW3 but not over Ukraine, but some other country?
  15. “I went in yesterday and there was a television screen, and I said, ‘This is genius,’ ” Trump continued. “Putin declares a big portion of the Ukraine — of Ukraine. Putin declares it as independent. Oh, that’s wonderful. So, Putin is now saying, ‘It’s independent,’ a large section of Ukraine. I said, ‘How smart is that?’ And he’s gonna go in and be a peacekeeper. That’s strongest peace force … We could use that on our southern border.” Donald J Trump Hes on Putin side, as if we already didn’t know that Who cares? Lots of people do, What could Biden do different? So we should be telling Putin that if he takes one step over the boarder we will annihilate his army. We can do that. Do you think the threat of real force would deter him? Or not doing that, we get an opportunity to destroy it like we destroyed Saddams in early 90’s?
  16. Second, it seems you are unaware we are already flying over Ukraine. Did you know that? American aircraft can operate in Ukraine. You talked about this before like it’s a third world country without airports. And Poland is right next door, not sure if they would let us, but I’m sure they don’t want the Russians right next door. As are other NATO countries You may or may not have flown off the Kitty Hawk, but I don’t believe you. Maybe you are not lying, but I doubt it. And settle down. Most people agree with you. Not sure what you are so worked up, no one else is listening to me. The west is ready to let Putin roll over a republic
  17. First off, you are writing off Ukraine with your “solution” is that correct?
  18. So we should be tougher? Gees, Putin’s threatening to snuff out a free people and you attack Biden.
  19. Ya, the age of twitter, we need fast definitions, or you fail. What is your opinion of Putin
