Russian invasion of Ukraine discussion

We shoulda nuked Stalin's little Red ass into glass when we had the chance around '47-'49.

Nah, should have just turned Patton loose on his ass.

Russian ammo dump and base 4 km apart 70 km behind the front lines both hit and destroyed, HIMARS? The ammo dump left a smoke plume visible by satellite that was 100 km long.

Unleashing Patton and Mac in '45 and telling 'em "De-Nazify/de-Imperialize Germany and Japan, impress into Allied forces and meet in Moscow" in '45 woulda been first choice, but America was tired of war and running out of political will. Failing that, even once Stalin cooked his first nuke there was a time when a nuclear exchange was still winnable--there was a level playing field on the bomber front because both sides were flying B-29 variants, but our interceptors were enough better that our planes had a much higher chance to get through than theirs.

I wonder what France has in mind, cuz Russia has been bombing hospitals, food distribution, residential neighborhoods and apartment buildings for 4 months now...

One cannot believe anything in the media regarding russia/ukraine, Lies and propaganda from all sides. Irrelevant to me who wins this fecal imbroglio; only matter that does effect me is the stealing of $40 billion taxpayer dollars for this nonsense which should have been allocated to the US and not the phucking ukraine; where it will most liely be stolen, and a significant portion kicked back to scumbag politicians here and in the ukraine.

Why can't more people have critical thinking like you. War is a racket, always has been.

Bro, I was asking myself the very same question when all this nonsense started in one of the other threads, as at first I could barely believe my eyes at how everyone was just gobbling up and regurgitating the Biden talking points without so much as a critical thought. It is what it is. People believe what they want to believe as long as it lines up with their preconceived prejudices. I mean, we all have them, but some folks have a bit more self-awareness than others.

I guess I expected better critical reasoning from people who have been calling out the Bidenite and mainstream BS, but it looks like all that was necessary was simply the right narrative. Not that it really matters, in the greater scheme of things, but I just hate to see good people getting snowed.

Unless you can prove that your representatives have all been fraudulently elected, the claims over the $40 billion being stolen are childishly exaggerated.

It is possible to not like Biden and still be okay with the US giving aide to a country fighting our enemy. I didnt like Obama, but sending guys in to smoke Bin Laden in Pakistan was a move I liked.

I have no problem with that. My point was more along the lines of believing, uncritically, the mainstream narrative. If they're telling us to "look over there," it's undoubtedly to further an agenda. And frankly, any agenda "they" have should be approached with extreme suspicion and circumspection.
