Uh Oh......Russia agrees to 30 day cease-fire.

Weak, so the issue isn’t that he’s accomplishing all those things it’s that he didn’t do it fast enough?
He lied about it directly to the lemmings in the cult to get the vote. And the dupes fell for it. And in case you aren't paying attention... the war in Ukraine still rages on, grocery prices are still high and prices are going to go tarrif driven higher, and the cost of energy has not dropped 50%. All his failed promises... I mean lies. He's accomplished nothing that HE PROMISED. I'm surprised you didn't know all this. Head meet sand apparently.

Wait you mean sending Ukraine trillions of dollars didn’t motivate Russia to turn around and go home? I’m stunned.
I’m not sure if even you think you just made a zinger of a point. We’ve sent billions to blunt an aggressor nation. The ROI has been very large as Ukraine degrades Russia, and the West gleans a treasure trove of data on Russian, Chinese, and North Korean capabilities.

You understand.
 
Not a callout of you, or Lucas.

I just don’t get this take that we’re fighting some proxy war, at the expense of other countries citizens dying, for our supposed benefit.

Feels gross.
Would you rather enable an ethnic cleansing telling Ukraine your wallet is empty, you won't donate anything from surplus, or support them with information? Because once Russia has all the territory saying we are sorry doesn't give them a second chance.

It’s American defense policy.

We develop strategies within defense.

For example, you have two options? A has possible outcomes as does B.

Based on what we know of said governments, the analysts make recommendations

This is more complicated than binary decisions of A and B.

A. Support Ukraine who chose to fight off a larger army within the borders of their own country while coordinating with the majority of western governments.

B. Support Russia who keeps saying they will launch nukes at us while they invade their neighbors.

Pretty darn simple when you see how much more simple it is than the middle east conflicts we have grown spoiled with few, but not zero, flag draped caskets.

K. It’s that simple, as you say

Choosing A is exploiting another countries people- to die- so our soldiers don’t? Again, seems gross. If we have a fight, pick it and finish it. Otherwise….

I think moving the finish line to suit those not within their borders is gross. I also thought Sullivan slow played weapons restrictions while congress couldn't get out of their own way tied both Ukraine's hands. There isn't a lot of good to find, but a willingness to give Ukraine the second wind they are asking for. They have put together a drone program that's taken 10% of Russia's refineries offline, and swarms the front like like a disturbed hornets nest.

The movie Glory was gross, but based on our own history. Would the 300 that stood against an army have been remembered if they never tried? How many thousands of Greeks would have died if they weren't issued both shields and spears?

Ukraine is currently advancing in counter attacks instead of trading ground for time and lives. They can't keep that up with a good luck, but we're tired of hearing you're dying nor can you beat the army you've kept at bay for 3 years when you were given 3 days. Trump cost them Kursk already...will you give away Kiev too?

We aren’t. Russia has invaded Ukraine snd we and other countries are attempting to keep a sovereign nation intact. Ukraine is also in a very important location, and the weakening of Russia is to our benefit. But that does not mean that we are behind the war or orchestrating it.

Russia can stop the dying anytime it chooses. Ukraine cannot and is in an existential crisis. Helping them exist and repel Russia is not exploiting.
 
Post the proof where you called out Trump for anything. You're here wanting people to praise the shit stain you praise but you have never been here to call him on the BS that has been going on? All positive in your eyes?
He nominated a rotten Labor Secretary. There you go.
 
I didn’t blame Bonespurs for rape... a woman, then the judicial system, blamed him for sexually abusing a woman. So he went to trial for it and was found to have sexually abused her. By a jury of his peers. And it took them 30 minutes to reach that verdict, given the mountain of evidence against him. Then he was fined millions of $$ by the court for his sexual abuse of her. It was really quite simple, I'm suprised you didn't know the actual legal facts of the case. He is a legally confirmed sexual abuser. I wonder if he needs to get court or his guardian's permission to get within 300 yards of a school? 😯
And people NEVER get wrongfully convicted in this country. 100% accuracy.
 
Your prez dumpster is still giving away the farm to russia. I am sure Dumpster wants Ukraine to pay russia for reparations, wow. Is Trump going to side with Ukrainians to have their kids released from russian and back to them, or their family if the parents are not alive.

You do remember that russia kidnapped and stole tens of thousands of Ukrainian kids from the East and are trying to turn them into little muscovites, my gawd how awful
Wait.... how is that Trump's fault, and why is Ukraine the responsibility of the US now?

Russia not being an aggressor nation is in our best interest. A ceasefire doesn't benefit either side and is just political virtue signaling both sides can be forced into something. Giving Russia anything in the matter doesn't solve the conflict, and Ukraine being asked to give up anything just increases the likelihood it's a rest and rearm for Russia. Short term gains can be at the expense of long term results.

You should be able to see save a little now to spend a lot later may not be preferred by those wanting to invest in Ukraine a little now so savings can be assured later on. Does giving up our military leadership role to Europe decrease our military budget? A ceasefire lifts military budgets worldwide. Does that sound like a lasting peace proposal?
