Swell guys. Joey Rotten and Zelensky allowed an American citizen to be killed in a Ukrainian jail simply because they were being criticized.

Re: The Ukraine Crisis
More money to The Ukraine guarantees

More destruction for the rebuild
For a conflict the Ukraine can’t win on their own
How long will it continue until the inevitable is reached?
and that is NATO and the US has to go into the Ukraine to fight the Russians….
It should’ve been negotiated from the start but obviously there’s too much profit to be made

The expense is a red herring. It’s cost us comparatively little in aid to seriously diminish Russia’s military capability.

The red herring is we will inherit the financial burden of the entire Ukraine population for the next century .. Puerto Krania
How many decades will it take to weaken Russia? The Ukraine will run out of men before that happens

What was Obamas response? He gave Ukraine some money?
So you’re saying it’s not Biden’s proxy war against Russia being financed by the U.S. and Ukraine lives? I ask because I’m not sure what you’re saying
I just don’t see any of this working to defeat Russia and if that is really the goal, we will have to do it by getting our hands dirty… not good

First of all, nobody has invaded the US since when? Never

Do you believe the military is stronger now then it was 30 years ago? It’s not
The Ukraine is not gonna defeat Russia the way we’re trying to go about it now, so what do you think is going to ultimately happen?
