perhaps this is a different situation with respect to Ukraine.

I'm all for supplying weapons and food to ukraine, but I'd rule out intervention.

mostly, this is biden's and Europe's fault. this war was unnecessary, but apparently somebody wanted it.

Like Tucker Carlson said "do we really want to go to war with Russia" and he is called a purveyor of Putin propaganda. How dumb does a human being have to be to not consider that question salient? Ah, but the "burn it down and start over with Marxist ideology" crowd can twist any common sense into dystopia.

Are we really witnessing the end of this great experience in democracy, in this Republic? Will we be able to keep it Mr Franklin?

For some reason this just came to me, maybe the Cabernet is kicking in.

Remember when Bill Mahr was on network TV and he made this comment, "so, say what ever you want about the 9/11 hijackers, they weren't cowards"! That got him fired. I know exactly what he meant, he was not on the side of the hijackers but the powers that be at the Ministry of Truth, took a vote of their board and decided "Nope", can't say that, but there is that whole thing about private enterprise and they can due what ever they want with your job but should they, to the extent it is being done today? When did we lose the right to speak our minds and not be cancelled?

Mahr tried to appease them, trying to explain that the wasn't high fiving the hijackers, oh never mind.

Point is, I just heard this report about this base where these MIG-29's, would be retrofitted in Western Ukraine if that decision was ever made. Well, somebody on the Russian side said "where exactly is this airbase they are talking about in Western Ukraine by Polish border"? "Here are the GPS coordinates right here General". "Plug them into a dozen cruise missiles that we will fire from plane in Russian airspace and take that base out". " Right away General".

Guess what, that base is gone! Not quite like world war 2 when they didn't discuss military plans on the phones and on the internet in the middle of a war, huh"?

Now, at least one of you, I won't name names, will see that as "praising Putin". But I can't lose a job I don't have or need, I can't be cancelled for saying anything I damn well please without being cancelled, at least not yet.

Just thought it was an interesting story. Good night.

I really don't know if one month ago Ukraine would have signed an agreement to never join NATO, this invasion wouldn't have happened but it sure as hell might have. Sure, we all hate Putin but failing to understand the other's guy's argument on what he thinks his security needs are is a failure on our part and if that sounds like schilling for Putin, that's to damn bad. I can't concern myself with what morons that don't understand geo-polics think. Just imagine what we would do, hell, we don't have to imagine, we lived through it when we went to the brink of nuclear war to tell the Soviet Union we would not stand for Soviet missiles in Cuba. How the hell is Putin saying he will not stand for NATO missiles in a country that borders Russia any different? He was asking for a security agreement that we, the West ignored and now look where we are.

Mmm...your arguments sound so familiar, perhaps the Chicoms aren't such evil beings as some of our ignorant posters in this forum have alleged...

I don't care what camp you put me in. For one thing you aren't tactical minded, secondly you have no clue how this conflict started or what the history is behind it. I'll put you in the camp of oblivious know nothings.
