Zelenskyy is only able to pursue a war footing with money and arms from the U.S. Furthermore, if Bitter honestly wanted to analyze Ukraine’s capability to continue fighting this war, he would hear the military reports that their ranks have been killed and depleted, only to be replaced by middle-age men involuntarily conscripted into service.
But, instead Bitter rambles on about rape and violence, like Ukraine is the only part of the world where suffering is happening. Meanwhile, our own country has a border governed by cartels, children being lost and trafficked, women raped on their way over here, more crime being committed by Venezuelan or other foreign gangs, and the probability of a terror attack waged here on everyone’s minds. Homeless people, especially vets, are everywhere in encampments, lone tents or rusty RVs. Hotels and public facilities are being taken over by illegal aliens. 60% of our population have no savings. Our country’s debt is almost $35 trillion. Hospitals are over-crammed by 125%. Basically, IMO we need to focus more on getting our own country together, before we are able to help others with spending packages we no longer can afford.

The Ukrainian soldiers who Jan pretends to care about will be imprisoned or killed. Moldova, Romania, and the Baltic countries will either fall next or become puppet states.
To sum up, they know this and don’t care.

Unlike the clairvoyance you seem to believe you have Bitter, in calculating the worse case scenario for Ukraine, I tend to look more retrospectively at the events in how this war evolved. The now well known story of Ukraine and Russia working out a peace agreement together in 2022 – agreeing Ukraine would not enter NATO – before Boris Johnson and the U.S. interfered, would have saved untold lives and the wholesale destruction of a country should it have been allowed to be signed.
However, after two years of devastating war and loss of life on both sides, should Ukraine and Russia be at the same point of forging a peace agreement, Ukraine will be in a less favorable position, with no leverage, and will lose at least the territory Russia has already taken over. The Ukrainian people’s fate will be mixed, with an absence of daily fear of being forcibly conscripted by Ukraine along with the terror of violent assault or death by the Russians, it will be weighed down by the loss of their sovereignty and under the rule of Russia.
As for any further loss of life, that you are always demanding Bitter, we still don’t have real figures on how many lives have already been erased by the brutality of war - they all differ from who is adding up the numbers.

It’s disingenuous how those supporting forever aid to Ukraine rarely if ever embark on consideration of the negative internal stories always leaking out: the misuse of our aid through government corruption; the imprisonment and/or disappearance of those protesting the Ukrainian government; the reluctance of civilians to fight; the banning of newspaper, churches and now elections, supposedly to be taking place in March. The fact Russia is appropriately called out as a dictatorship when Ukraine, operating under similar oppressive rules, begs the question “why not?” And, supplying a Churchillian equivalency to Zelenskyy is simply an irrational rationalization of what’s really going on in Ukraine.

Jan. I have not called you names and certainly wouldn’t call Tina names.

Bitter – i disagree that the Dems have become the party of defending America’s strategic alliances. They would abandon all our traditional Allie’s to support Iran and America hating countries in a heartbeat. The only reason they support Ukraine is because the Ukraine helped get Trump impeached. If it weren’t for that they would not even know where it was on a map.
Jan. The isolationist mantra that the Paul’s espoused was based on the anti-Semitic trope that the “Jews” controlled the international system and were trying to implement the new world order.
Trump followers jumped on it because it was reframed as we’re broke and shouldn’t send money to anyone, and then of course, the trump followers hate Ukraine because of the impeachment, so as you can see, there are a lot of components that have gone into the shift. It’s not as simple as “send the money to the border and we’ll keep them out.”
To close, other than Bunu, I respect each person on here and their right to have a different view on policy. We are the BIG TENT and I welcome different points of view. Unlike the Dems and Paul followers, I don’t want to look in the mirror. I want my orthodoxy to be challenged so I know I’m making the right decisions.
I just hate to see the vitriol and discord that again, was part of the Paul plan to tear the party and then the country apart so that we would devolve into anarchy and chaos.

BTW, while Biden didn’t “authorize” Putin’s invasion, he was complicit by first not firmly addressing Putin amassing troops on Ukrainian’s border, and then offering a milquetoast comment about it would be “ok if Russia crossed over a little bit.” Then there was Biden’s earlier interference in the firing of the prosecutor looking into Burisma, provoking speculation that Zelenskyy had damning information holding over Biden’s head, about what was considered money laundering operations being conducted by Biden’s son and Burisma.

So, as you can see Russia can’t rebuild the former Soviet Union. He maybe evil but he isn’t crazy enough to go to war with NATO. Now, Bitter will accuse me of being a Putin lover and a heartless person who doesn’t care about the Ukrainian people that are dying or about their children being kidnapped or whatever else he will slander me with which is one of the reasons I haven’t posted here much or in Dave’s blog in a long time. If you don’t agree with everything the A-hole club believes you are their enemy and they will try and vilify you with a whole bunch of lies. We have done enough. We have already given more money then all of Europe combined. Time is on Russia’s side. Ukraine is running out of troops. They are so desperate they have guys my age in their 50’s and older fighting. Russia has a population around 143 million people. Putin doesn’t care if he loses 300,00 troops. He can keep sending troops over to Ukraine for years. It sucks to lose but you can’t let your emotions make you blind to the fact that Ukraine can not win!
