The current admin is the one our founders warned us against, totally corrupt and compromised.
There is. If Ukraine loses, it will be forgiven.

We can forgive the US for not immediately arming Ukraine after a revolution and a history of corruption in the country.

The situation is different now. Zelensky seems like a great leader who isn't in it for just profit and for him to become President shows democracy is working when it's often tyrants taking over. He's a great wartime President and it's what Ukraine needs right now.

People rag on Biden for being old, but old Presidents know WTF they're doing. They've been there and done that, they've dealt with manlet tyrant wannabes like Putin and Kim, they know what works and what doesn't.

It's not just being old. Trump is old and didn't know what he was doing. But after a lifetime of politics, being old is an advantage.
Back off, Warchild.

Seriously.

Zelensky may look like a saint compared to Putin, but he is still a tyrant and not behaving like a democratic leader. He tortures and kills opposition. And the fundamental cause of Ukraine's division has not been resolved. The unjust language laws and neonazi elements within Ukraine's military forces still persist. The country's nationalism is forcing a strong divide between the East and West. And that would persist even if Ukraine managed to push Russia out.

It will not a stable state, even on the long shot that Ukraine pushes Russia back. They needed to federalize. And for lasting stability, Ukraine and Russia must reach some kind of agreement.

Yeah, no wincel...

Each and every single day all the You-Krane fanbois remind us that You-Krane is in a fight for it's very survival.

So if that's true then sparing anybody for any reason is a luxury that they can't afford. Bitches have the audacity to put their hands out and keep whoring for money, then they can also get TF off their asses and do the heavy lifting for it.

People will look back at this war in 10 years and ask themselves.....what in the F was the US and Ukraine doing? They destroyed their population and country.

For what exactly? THEY CANNOT WIN AND HAVE NEVER BEEN ABLE TO WIN.

Sometimes you have to cut your losses.

Yeah saving those most fit to fight as you continue to lose territory and resources over the course of a couple years doesn’t make a lot of sense..55 year olds out here on the front lines while 22 year old men get to chill at the house and play COD..

I looked at it right when it started and said that. This could have been over in around 2 weeks just like Georgia. It was essentially the same situation, but the difference is Ukraine was very committed, slightly nazified, and backed by the US. The US also had a political need for a "rally round the flag" effect during crisis (which failed spectacularly). Ukraine has lost more territory than it ever would have under the Minsk 2 agreement.

That's pretty much what they went with. But they aren't playing COD. They are still preparing the younger men for war.

It never even had to start and wouldn't have if NATO and the west had lived up to the original agreement in place with Russia a few years ago. But then the English PM squashed it.

It wasn't just us who squashed it. Their nazis did not accept any kind of ceasefire. This is why you do not give weapons to nazis. And that's one thing Obama did right that Trump fuked up.

The more I think about it the more I think it was never about Ukraine winning. Eastern Europe has been fairly anti clown world and without direct sea access to filter millions of illegals as they stream through the rest of Europe. So clearing out a good part of the population of one of those countries to import millions of illegals that will do whatever their handlers tell them seems like the way to go about it. Since Ukraine is now looking for 4.5 million works to replace everybody that left (and you know no western Eurotard is going to move to Ukraine to work).https://news.yahoo.com/ukraine-looki...100541722.html

Are you really so stupid that you don't see the entire point is to destroy Russian forces and materiel? They consider the money better spent than on deterrence. That's all. If you are this incompetent, you should just kill yourself.

wrong again.
or just lying.
Earlier this month, Ukraine lowered the conscription age from 27 to 25 in an effort to bolster the size of its military.

The latest government decision means men aged 18-60 can’t renew their passports unless they return to Ukraine.

You shouldn't call people out for "low IQ".

I mean, unless you want to be a hypocrite, in which case go right ahead.
