Heil Hitler?Idiot, do you know what is written on that photo?
Missed.Heil Hitler?
White supremacist views are not isolated. I think there's only about 5% of the global population that's non-Hispanic white, but they punch far above their weight class in many respects.The US, as shown by Biden's ridiculous speech the other day, is hypocritical. The US invades, it does whatever it wants and everyone just accepts it. What's the difference between the Ukraine and the US? Not much, other than the US can do whatever it likes.
Bullshit. Most of the US, Canada, Australia, even bigger percentage of Europe, Russia, etc. Probably close to a billion, could be less. Even if you subtract Spain.White supremacist views are not isolated.

The Fight Against White Supremacy Isn't Just an American One
I think you're right.Bullshit. Most of the US, Canada, Australia, even bigger percentage of Europe, Russia, etc. Probably close to a billion, could be less. Even if you subtract Spain.
Stop trying to deny what you said.
Obviously.They were a sovereign nation 40 years ago. What difference does it make that they were once part of the USSR? Did you notice they HAVE prepared better since Crimea? Even before the influx of weapons from the west? But they are still a tiny country facing a much larger better funded and better armed country who is invading them.
That was one of my points. I'm sick of it.the U.S. government has committed to providing the most arms, weapons and other equipment by far.
It is not a simple, dry calculation to me. We have just about the least interest in Ukraine, so why should we be penalized because of our size or success? Whose dumb idea was that? And I think we are over 40 billion now, from a country whom a few years ago told Trump that the USA COULD NOT AFFORD A MERE 20 BILLION TO DEFEND OUR OWN BORDERS! I'm tired of the bullshit. I can see giving them, 8-10 billion, no more. That is a LOT of money. Next will come the appeals to send them a 100 billion to rebuild after the war is over! Why? We have no interest, worse, we cannot afford it. Every dime we spend is BORROWED money from China WITH INTEREST OWED--- will UK, Italy and Estonia and Moldova be paying down the interest on our debt?The second-ranked country, the United Kingdom, has pledged far less - just over $4 billion – in the given time frame. In relative terms, however, both military aid commitments amount to approximately 0.1 percent of either country's GDP. Looking at this metric, Ukraine's smaller neighbors contributed more to its war effort, for example Poland (military aid of 0.3 percent of GDP) or Estonia (0.8 percent). Even when combining military, financial and humanitarian aid delivered or pledged by the U.S. is added up, this only amounts to 0.2 percent the country's GDP.
Then we ought to donate 0.06% too. I am not the world's keeper, and if our donations were contingent on others,. that would put pressure on OTHER countries to give more, just as Trump was doing when in office. I feel for the Ukrainians but that government is far from blameless, and maybe they WOULD get reabsorbed by Russia and that is too sad for them but not my doing nor my fault. Long overdue that this government starts representing the people who PUT them there and putting OUR needs first--- once our ducks are even REMOTELY in order and OUR people are safe, happy and prosperous, then we can look at what surplus we can afford to help other countries too.Other big donors of military aid to Ukraine are Germany and Canada - even though their relative pledges only amount to 0.03 percent and 0.06 percent of their respective GDPs.
Nothing. We have no leverage to make China do anything. Politicians have sold the USA to them right out from under us.Lots of issues within China’s sphere that are problematic particularly with human rights, what should we do?
Exactly right, but who appointed us the world's policemen? We have ridden that horse to death and are now over THIRTY TRILLION in debt. And Biddum is spending like there is no tomorrow. And his "inflation" bill was just another joke: bribe money to leftwing pet interests which won't do jack for the average american!Russia’s military invasion of a sovereign nation marks a major break with a long established and agreed upon world order.
So, A). When a nation is involved in being the PROBLEM, it should be made to abrogate any say in UN affairs of which it is now the PROBLEM. And B). What next, 50 billion to Georgia when Putin attacks there first? 75 billion to Estonia, $100 billion to Poland? There is more evil in the world than any one country can solve, so, it must come back to each country resisting evil from WITHIN and taking care of business at home first, THEN give what you can afford to help other countries.Russia is a major member in the UN with veto power, which makes that much worse. This marks an existential threat to something that we have taken for granted in a way that smaller conflicts do not. Presumably Putin’s intent is to re-establish the old Soviet empire, and swallow all it’s former satellites: Georgia, Estonia etc…Poland, Serbia…
Israel is a key, vital, and important strategic ally in keeping the ME balanced. Whether Ukraine is independent or back part of Russia again makes little difference to anyone but Russia and Ukrainians.You support Israel’s right to exist, and I can’t find where you have complained our support of Israel, so why is Ukraine different?
What has affected us most is empowering Ukraine to put up this protracted war defending against Russia. Had we not done so, the war would have been over quickly, millions would still be alive, Ukraine would be intact, people would still be living at home, and there never would have been any need to disrupt energy, banking and supply chains.Look at how ruthless (channeling Stalin) Putin has been, the energy and supply chain disruptions, the energy blackmail. You can’t say it won’t affect us. It has.
Agreed, and I never said we were immune, still, that doesn't mean we also have to finance 95% toward every global conflict either. If neighbors to Ukraine can justify giving so little doesn't mean we need to cough up the lion's share of the rest. I'm tired of being the patsy to other countries while our own people live in crumbling cities, high crime, soaring inflation and empty shelves.Because we do not exist in our own universe, immune from world events.

Shit for brains, when you argue the US shouldn't help Ukraine resist the Russian invaders you are arguing that the US should ignore the pleas of Ukraine for help.If I said it, SHOW IT asshole, simple as that, or I'll report you to the mods for trying to change my words.
Agree, there is too much evil, but I think Ukraine marks the stand. If the Russian invasion fails, it will be a long time before Russia can consider such actions again.Obviously.
That was one of my points. I'm sick of it.

Maybe each world leader part of the UN should be made to have an explosive surgically attached under their skin and if any UN country goes rogue, you just press a button and take their leader out! Problem solved and no war necessary.

The Ukrainians fought like hell with what they had. They did not sit back and expect others to do it for them. The alternative is not just losing their autonomy, it is losing their culture and identity. That is whatWhat has affected us most is empowering Ukraine to put up this protracted war defending against Russia. Had we not done so, the war would have been over quickly, millions would still be alive, Ukraine would be intact, people would still be living at home, and there never would have been any need to disrupt energy, banking and supply chains.
We don’t finance every global conflict….and keep in mind, one of those other countries is coughing up 3 times what we are and another 6 times what we are (proportionate to GDP).Agreed, and I never said we were immune, still, that doesn't mean we also have to finance 95% toward every global conflict either. If neighbors to Ukraine can justify giving so little doesn't mean we need to cough up the lion's share of the rest.

Where did I ever say that?Shit for brains, when you argue the US shouldn't help Ukraine resist the Russian invaders
We seem pretty good at ignoring the Tibetan's pleas for help! We ignore the Texans, Arizonans, New Mexicans, Kurds, and Floridians pleas for help! We ignore senior citizen's and the poor's pleas for help! But the Ukrainians, you got them covered.you are arguing that the US should ignore the pleas of Ukraine for help.
Glad you see that, so then, THEY ought to be financing 95% of Ukraine's war then, not us.It makes a difference to much of Europe because….who’s next?
Virtually every conflict and battle we have ever stuck our nose into turned out far worse afterwards.Going back to Russia and Eastern Europe. It seems to me you are de facto throwing away that entire region as useless…let Russia do what they will. Hasn’t the West done that over and over throughout history? Yet multiple wars that either originated there or engulfed that region have ended up drawing us in only AFTER they wreaked a lot of devastation and human cost. Seems to me we ignore that at our peril.
Oil.why should the Middle East concern us?
Israel is the lone democracy there.Why shouldn’t we let Israel, the Arab Countries, work out their own issues? What is there of value there?
Glad you see that, so then, THEY ought to be financing 95% of Ukraine's war then, not us.
Not the last two world wars. Not Bosnia either. But most of them? Ya.Virtually every conflict and battle we have ever stuck our nose into turned out far worse afterwards.
Oil.
Ukraine is a democracy, under attack from an authoritarian nation. Is it of less value because it isn’t the only democracy? Actually…Lebanon is also a democracy…so, it is moot.Israel is the lone democracy there.
"Wait, are you saying that Ringo personally is killing people in Ukraine?Where did I ever say that?
We seem pretty good at ignoring the Tibetan's pleas for help! We ignore the Texans, Arizonans, New Mexicans, Kurds, and Floridians pleas for help! We ignore senior citizen's and the poor's pleas for help! But the Ukrainians, you got them covered.
I see a swastika on a Russian flag, I don't know how that proves Ukrainians are Nazis.Idiot, do you know what is written on that photo?
Exactly. What is written there is The occupants' colors.I see a swastika on a Russian flag, I don't know how that proves Ukrainians are Nazis.
Dumb.
Yes but there are 30-40 of them! And Ukraine is their backdoor neighbor to many of them! Too many needy countries out there being buoyed off american life support as if it were our responsibility. Countries who need so much help maybe aren't meant to succeed, besides, I'm still wondering where our great help was to the Tibetans? Despite decades of pleading, the USA hasn't given the Tibetans $5 worth of help.Their economies are much smaller.
Oil is money, security, stability and power.We export more oil than we import.…. So, I’m not seeing why we should care.
You wouldn't know it to listen to many people.Ukraine is a democracy,
"Wait, are you saying that Ringo personally is killing people in Ukraine?
Here is good information you likely know nothing about. Pay close attention to the emboldened type, as I made it easy for you.Yes, they have. And people got a little fed up of wars and didn't really expect this sort of thing in the 21st century.
