We don’t need to be getting into another conflict, especially with Russia for heaven’s sake.
Why would we do that? What good could possibly come from providing small arms to one side in a lopsided conflict? It will just get more people killed and YOU CAN COUNT ON IT we will be blamed for more people dying.
No thanks.
Russia may very well be in the wrong, but this is Europe’s problem, not ours. Haven’t we bailed those guys out enough the last 100 years or so?
The firearms requested by Ukraine were for the men being called up for induction into the army. You are correct about the contest being lopsided. Russia holds all the cards with a better equipped and trained army. Do you prefer Ukrainian soldiers go to their deaths ill equipped? Do you think Russia will not attack because it wouldn’t be fair?
Do you think Russia will give up its plan to stage long range bombers in South America if we do not provide small arms for Ukraine’s new soldiers? Russia is playing us as a country and apparently you also. They’ve always had people willing to do their bidding in high office here.
