Taiwan and Japan have got to be wondering if the US will back up its commitments to them with the same fervor it promised to Ukraine when it gave up its nukes.
socal2 saysI just don't get all of the over the top hate on Zelensky and Ukraine by some folks.
I don't hate Zelensky, or Ukraine, or Putin, or Russia.
I am quite disappointed in the sudden lack of critical thinking by people who figured out the vaxx scam at least.
I do wish more people thought with their heads instead of just mindlessly pick sides in some third world conflict that shouldn't matter to us.

This.
Mindlessly picking sides?
Just because the Democrats and our Garbage Media went bonkers with the Russian collusion thing and COVID trying to take down Trump, doesn't mean I am going to automatically ignore and deny over half a century of USSR/Russian crimes and actions.
Even if everything claimed about Zelensky and Ukraine is true, it is not even remotely reasonable to justify the tens of thousands of people Russia is getting killed over the last month.
My whole life - Leftists and our Garbage Media has been trying to whitewash the manifest crimes of the Communists. It wasn't but a few years ago Obama was mocking Romney for pointing out the obvious threats from Putin and Russia. Hillary was busy doing photo-ops with Lavrov with the famous reset button and basically handing over Georgia and Crimea to Russia without a peep.
Just because Leftists and our Media are total hypocrites, doesn't mean those of us on the Right have to lose all sense of reality.

What I have to laugh about is that suddenly, people have found their humanity suddenly. They didn't care when the US bombed Iraq over a non existent weapons of mass destruction program, or when they returned Libya to civil war and left it with slavery markets, nor when they bombed Syria back to the stone age for Genie Energy. They don't care when Israel spends 70 years bombing the native inhabitants or just outright murders them to expand settlements, the war in Yemen doesn't matter no matter how many people are killed, it doesn't even matter when they were dropping bombs on Afghanistan when there's no mission objective at all for that war.
But when RUSSIA goes to a war, oh my - the HUMANITY!
People are unprincipled easily led sheep.
Correct. It was not that long ago when one user known by handle "richwicks" was going on two-page rants about how wrong and criminal Iraq war was in every fuckin thread no matter the subject.
Now he's all: "meh, so Russia kills Ukrainians on some bullshit pretext, big fucking deal, nothing to see there".
A truly unpricipled easily led sheep, that one.

In a later announcement, the U.S. State Department issued an official message of concern over Friday’s verdict. Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland said that “The United States is concerned about both the verdict and the disproportionate sentences handed down by a Moscow court in the case against the members of the band Pussy Riot and the negative impact on freedom of expression in Russia. We urge Russian authorities to review this case and ensure that the right to freedom of expression is upheld.”
> richwicks
Since you and morality don't mix well
Let's just focus on the technical part. Are you saying that US should go back on the pledge that it made in Budapest memorandum?
I am more than happy to have my tax dollars spent on weapons to bleed Putin and Russia's military dry
I just don't get all of the over the top hate on Zelensky and Ukraine by some folks.
Some folks don't like being manipulated by propaganda.
How about we spend some money to investigate the corruption that led to the POTUSes son getting paid to work on Ukrainian energy board and why we have bio labs in foreign countries?
richwicks saysChauvinsKnee saysrichwicks saysI think Ukraine has no hope in this war, and should have never fought it, they should immediately surrender.
Not everybody is a cuck.
@ChauvinsKnee People like you are so full of shit.
Ukraine is accepting volunteers to fight. I'll buy you a plane ticket if you like, but I see you off at the gate.
You mother fuckers just love war, until you have to fight it. Fucking warmongering chickenhawks. The US has been at 20 years of war, what good has any of the wars been for this nation, or the people of this nation? But you braying asses keep clamoring for it, as if it shows some bravery to do it.
It's pretty clear that Ukrainians do not share your ideas...
Im from Ukraine and have relatives and friends in there. I can tell you that most people dont give a shit who rules them. All they want is prosperity and peace.
And how's that "prosperity and peace" going on for the Putin's subjects"subjects" is the exactly correct term.
Minime saysIm from Ukraine and have relatives and friends in there. I can tell you that most people dont give a shit who rules them. All they want is prosperity and peace.
According to my colleagues in Ukraine this is the type of people they call "wata" ("cotton"?) there. =)) Nobody said these types don't exist - they do, but it was great miscalculation by Putin to assume they are in the majority. Apparently they are not.
It's OK, we had fucking loyalists during American Revolutionary War too.
PS. And how's that "prosperity and peace" going on for the Putin's subjects?
If you talk to real ppl there majority dont care.If you said that most people didn't care until Feb. 23, I'd confirm. But that's not what you are doing, you are saying that nobody cares today. That is a lie.
On fighting i dont know anyone of my contacts there who wants to fight.In what sense? "I've been drafted but I don't want to fight" or "I'm on sidelines and don't want to get involved" ? Just so I understand the profile of the people to which you refer.
Name me one good reason why you would risk your life there.

I'm not. Why don't you just donate to Ukraine's GoFundMe instead of volunteering everyone's money.

Onvacation saysSome folks don't like being manipulated by propaganda.
Yeah - It is tough to know what to believe.
Is Zelensky a secret Jewish Nazi or is he a globalist homo that likes to dance in high heels?
The US was constantly told that killing Jihadis in Afghanistan and Iraq would radicalize moderate Muslims to hate America if they accidentally killed a family member or damaged property.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cZxw02x0rvw&source=patrick.net - a landing ship destroyed. The cargo was estimated at about 20 tanks and 40 armored personnel carriers, plus 400 Russian marines.
There's something very special about this one. TV channel of the Russian Ministry of Defense "Zvezda" ("The Star") has announced that the ship entered the port of Berdyansk. The greeting from Ukrainians followed shortly after. "Zvezda" was highly commended by the Ukrainian military. Good job, "Zvezda"!
US forces yesterday made their clearest admission yet that white phosphorus was used as a weapon against insurgents in Iraq. A Pentagon spokesman told the BBC last night that it had been used as "an incendiary weapon" during the assault last year on Falluja in 2004.
Lieutenant Colonel Barry Venable said the substance, which can be used to lay smokescreens but burns down to the bone in contact with skin, was not covered by international conventions on chemical weapons.
48 hour rule applies.You are not paying attention. I just gave you a lot more details than your media sources do.
Could simply be a gas explosion.
