You’re busy fear mongering online while they’re busy going to beaches, shops, and restaurants in a city that has has supposedly been “under siege”.

You are not making a serious point. But, carry on You don't understand what you are talking about. You are just a bag of hot air. You want to just let Putin crush a republic and murder millions. That's pretty screwed up. Evil, even. But hey, at least our arms makers won't get some extra cash, and that will make you happy, somehow Yeah, I'm the one that doesn't know what I'm talking about. Thanks for setting me straight. I finally understand that the US military industrial complex, or establishment, or deep state, or global empire if you please, is in reality an altruistic organization spreading good will and cheer across the globe asking nothing in return. Now I see the light. How could I possibly have thought they're a bunch of raging psychopaths intend on waging continuous war forever and have no regard for life or liberty? And what a tremendous record of success! Its just amazing how well its going for the Ukrainians compared to life before the Americans showed up on the scene in 2014. I can't wait to see which lucky country we're going to "help" next. Edited June 14 by All_Pro_Bills 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What conclusion do you draw from people going to a beach? Do you not know that the Russians have been driven back from Kyiv?

You're lucid and ingenious response (that my point is really stupid) to what I incorrectly believed was a coherent argument has got the best of me. In the face of your overwhelming brilliance how could my argument citing the history and record of our government's propensity to engage in endless wars for almost 25 years with nothing tangible to show for it except mountains of debt, thousands of American soldiers dead, wounded, or disabled, and countless civilian deaths in almost a dozen countries have anything to do with the desire to get involved in yet another war! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PetermansRedemption Posted June 15 Share Posted June 15 Ah, another 1 billion to Ukraine. I guess Biden is content to just continue writing them a blank check. I’m fine with selling them weapons. But giving them handouts has to stop sometime, right? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
