Typical :dunce: MAGAt, focusing (ie nitpicking) on a single element to try and avoid debating the more serious elements of my post.

The ramifications of a successful takeover of Ukraine by putin are significant and should not be flippantly dismissed. Stopping russia here likely reduces the risk of future conflicts and saves lives.

Poland wasn’t worth fighting for. :ohno:

So Jefferson and Madison tried to overthrow the government so they could “remain in power.“ ?

You’re right, the Baltic States would be ahead of Poland on putin’s target list.

And they’re NATO members so it’s either actual US involvement in a war or we pretend to have bone spurs and take the cowards way out.

Ok, so using that same logic anytime there’s a future conflict around the world that could spread to additional conflicts, the US should become involved, you know because it could save lives.. Sounds like you want us to be the world’s policeman..
That isn’t what I posted. You continue to try and simplify and narrow the debate either intentionally or because of limited reading comprehension. The key word is “significant”.

Allowing master putin to take Ukraine will embolden him and lead to more than just minor regional conflicts.

Well then we disagree on what is significant to the US.

-If its not significant to our economic interests (ie controlling 1/2 the world’s oil reserves or most of the top computer chips, etc)
-Or if they’re not likely to attack the US
-Or if they’re not aiding and/or harboring terrorists who are attacking the US
then I din’t think we should be involved. Spending 100 billion (and counting) on Ukraine is insane when we have all kinds of issues in the US, including we have an invasion on our southern border we can’t control, we have a close to 33 trillion and rapidly increasing national debt, etc.

Plus if the rest of NATO thought it was that big a deal they would be spending far more in military aid to back Ukraine, militarily per capita as much as the US. They’re not even remotely close.

In the end Obama was just another politician. He wasn't a bad guy, but he wasn't anywhere near the transformative leader he could've been and who people voted for in droves in '08. I agree, a missed opportunity.

Lol thats FAKE NEWS. Fossil fuel production increased under Obama 77%, not 88%. And that was IN SPITE of Obama. Fracking production exploded, almost all on private and (red) state land. Even left leaning Politifact acknowledges that.

Obama was a Chicago machine politician with a pretty face, beautiful voice and suave demeanor that helped him seduce illiberals and moderates alike.

Increasing fossil fuel production is a positive to BDKKKaren so he was upset you were giving Obama credit for it.

Look at that dork in the background.
During the press conference announcing the move, DeSantis was joined by two local sheriffs, who CNN points out don’t serve any county that overlaps with Worrell’s jurisdiction.
