    Hope those ATACMS sitting in decommissioning warehouses in Germany start moving a little a faster.

    Not that I really expect any kind of logical consistency from the right, but these quotes are interesting.

    “It’s because Ukraine represents the trans agenda and the western agenda.”

    “Ukraine is a meeting point of all the garbage, rubbish-filled, Western postmodern ideals that we teach our kids and they will not surrender it.”

    Isn't Charlie Kirk one of those guys who insists that Western civilization is the pinnacle of human achievement?

    Are conservatives seriously going to start telling us that the Western world is bad?

    A top ally of President Vladimir Putin warned Poland on Thursday that the NATO member state was now considered a "dangerous enemy" by Russia and could end up losing its statehood if it continued on its current course.

    Former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev, now deputy chairman of Russia's Security Council, made the comments in an 8,000-word article on Russian-Polish relations, saying Moscow now had a "dangerous enemy" in Poland.

    Nice to know that Russia is doing so well in Ukraine that they feel like attacking Poland would be a great idea. :cool:

    You mean like being the chairman of the senate foreign relations committee in 2002 when he successfully created the middle ground resulution that passed the senate that allowed little bush to go to war with Iraq based on complete lies?

    https://www.nytimes.com/2020/01/12/us/politics/joe-biden-iraq-war.html

    You mean like being that architect that allowed the Iraq war to happen? You mean that Joe fucking Biden and the Iraq war he was the gatekeeper that opened the gate for?

    You might want to remember you are talking about fuckhead republican warhawk Joe Biden.

    No, don't do that. It's tiresome. There are other threads for that. That's as annoying as BJ trying to shit on Joe Biden or defend Trump here. :nono:

    I suspect they’ll use an excuse of mass desertion, true (?) or justified (yes) or not, to just shell the whole battalion so they don’t have to keep feeding and housing them. Bet they never make it to the front lines.

    Yeah, that is going to work. You do that thing.

    I understand the horror of the situation, but this is why people need to get rid of petty dictators like Putin. Document this bullshit for the future so we can make some sort of government that works.

    I'm still sending money to the Ukrainian army, even though the whole issue has somehow disappeared from the media spotlight. They are still fighting... it goes on... NAFO did a demo near the Russian embassy today, but our esteemed authorities made sure not to bother the Russians too much. We are neutral. Right to the grave.
