Free Republic shows that conservatives don’t fight. They bitch and moan but apathetically, actually do nothing

If Ukraine caves and lets Putin put a pro-Russian puppet regime in power, he will go after his next victim--either the Baltic countries, Poland, or Moldova.

Not our problem.

Who knows what Trump really is?
***He stated explicitly that he supports Ukraine. All your useless argumentation puts you squarely in the anti-Trump camp.

If “fully supporting” Ukraine means
***Usually setups like this are straw arguments.

only giving slightly more weapons to Ukrainian resistance (and that’s all), then
***I doubt that’s what it means because you’re already using humpty-dumptyisms. Look at the video, see for yourself.

I’m not sure why you think Trump’s foreign policy is so much better than Biden’s.
***Because, as per the video, Pootypoot didn’t move at all on Ukraine during Trump’s presidency, but within about a year into Biden’s admin, pootypoot sniffed out the weakness and moved on it. So are you NOW “sure why”?

But I rather fancy you don’t know what Trump thinks;
***Watch the video, Trump TELLS us what he thinks.

and I doubt that you are as “Paleo Con” as you say you are.
***I don’t doubt that you are as Pantywaist Putin Puffing aPPeasing as you appear to be.

This nation has way too many problems to be sending resources to anywhere else.
***Then we need to loudly proclaim that when we signed that agreement we are not to be trusted as a nation. Simple. It is RIGHT for us to work on our domestic problems like our own border. And it is also RIGHT for us to honor our own agreements. At this moment the democraps are in agreement on the one right thing but not in agreement on the other right thing. Just because the dems agree doesn’t make it the WRONG thing to do.

Do you lose sleep at night knowing that Ukraine got invaded by Russia?
***Do you luze sleep at night trying to find ways of trolling other freepers?

It’s Europe’s problem way more than ours.
***Then we shoulda never signed that agreement. Period. And by pursuing your pantywaist agenda, we push the Ukes into a nuke corner, threatening a nuked Ruke city as a result. That’s where YOUR approach is sending them.

In fact, it’s all their problem.
***Then we should loudly proclaim that we as a nation are not to be trusted on any agreement we ever sign. Ever.

They have the resources, population, and cash to stop him if they desire.
***I’m presuming “to stop Putin”. They were working with the Ukes to allow them into NATO with their MAP. Trump was right to push Europe into paying more for their own protection, and this is a good enough example for where they oughtta do it. The Europeans are even worse pantywaist appeasers than you are, which was how they ended up in World War 2 and they STILL haven’t learned that lesson of Sudetenland. The Russians completely ignored the “sovereignty assurance” of Ukraine in that Budapest Agreement when the nukes were gone and the Ukes found oil in those eastern regions. So if it’s completely ignorable, those provisions about sovereignty and borders just by calling it a “military operation” rather than an invasion, then it makes sense for US and the Europeans to conduct our own “military operation” towards sovereignty as outlined in that agreement — we just don’t call it an invasion like how Pootypoot did.

If Woke Capitalism is worthy of being spread around the globe,
***What is this new bullshiite red herring you’re going on about?

then it’s time to pony up the blood and treasure to do so.
***Yup, red herring. Look! a squirrel!

Not one more dime, missile, bomb, or bullet from us.
***Then what other agreements that we signed are we going to loudly proclaim as not applicable any more? And why are you choosing this as the place to stake your claim when it’s so fracking obvious that one nation simply invaded the other?

Ukraine spent eight years holding back the Russian occupiers in East Ukraine. Hope a lot of invaders died slow, painful deaths in the process.

And we are there because we care?
***We are not there. AFAICT there are no American nor NATO boots on the ground. We were “there” in 1994 when it served OUR interest to pull a bunch of dangerous friggen nukes off the table. And since that time the niggling pantywaist appeasers have taken over, claiming it’s not our fight when it was our actions that put the Ukes in the non-nuke position they are currently IN.

Just keep in mind that people who thought like you, at the time of that agreement, they DID agree with me.

It’s like the guy who sells a car, delivers it on the promise of $5k from the buyer. The buyer decides the terms of the agreement aren’t so solid, so he keeps his $5k but drives the car. Suqs to be you, he thinks.

But then the seller has a Mafiosa friend who owes him a favor. The mafia dude hears about the deal and breaks his legs, returns the car, AND the $5k, and takes your favorite hall lamp as interest. Suqs to be you, the mafia dude thinks.

In that analogy, both sides had an agreement. One side honored it, the other side didn’t. Think about the consequences of not honoring the agreement — does the niggling weasel consider that honoring the agreement was in his best interest? Did he have disdain for the agreement while he was driving the car with $5k in his pocket?

The ‘Deep State’, neo-Liberals and neo-Cons want war. Four years under Trump meant no new wars. FOUR YEARS WITHOUT WAR BUDGET SKIMMING; the Deep State could NOT handle that! The PEOPLE actually held POWER! NOT ACCEPTABLE!

XiJinBiden, through his spawn, Hunter, the ‘crack cowboy’, PUSHED Ukraine to put higher ranking members of the NAZI ‘Azov Battalion’ into positions of political power in Ukraine and brought them into the Ukrainian National Guard. They are even so bold as to BROADCAST THEIR ATTROCITIES against civilians over the internet! Don’t forget that Ukraine’s own Doctor Mengele (’Doctor’ Gennadiy Druzenko), ordered his staff to CASTRATE ALL RUSSIAN POWs under his control! XiJinBiden says NOTHIBG against this because he is an old snake whore ‘deep stater’, who will do ANYTHING and EVERYTHING for a buck.

Putin is the TARGET because, while he was a YGL member, he did I believe, join it, mostly as an intelligence gathering effort. He, like Zelensky, is a dictator, but NOT a globalist dictator! He is obviously PRO-Russian and not a globalist. For the WEF (Schwab, Soros, Gates, etc.), he is an ENEMY, as is PRC (the REAL PRC, not Politically Repressive Canada).

The WEF and its N. American and European sycophants, have been pushing and prodding Russia for years! NATO (NORTH ATLANIC Treato Organization) has expanded FAR BEYOND the ‘North Atlantic’, threatening Russia. Am I surprised at Putin’s reaction? Not at all!

NATO countries have been, for all intents and purposes, been TAKEN OVER by the WEF psychos! Their takeover is NOT designed to benefit the West, it is designed to SUBJUGATE THE WEST AND REPLACE THE POPULATION WITH MORE PLIABLE and CONTROLABLE IMMIGRANTS from Africa and the Middle East.

Putin is NOT A FRIEND by any means! The problem is, the REAL ENEMY is WITHIN! XiJinBiden, True-dolt, Johnson, Macron, Schultz (and formerly Merkel); ALL pawns/members of the WEF! THEY are a MUCH MORE EXISTENTIAL THREAT to our freedoms, than Russia is!

And before some jackwater FReeper chickenhawk accuses me of being a ‘Putinista’ or other such stupidity, give your head a shake! Do YOU want to ‘own nothing and be happy (or else)? THAT is what the world oligarchs of the WEF want! THEY, the Schwabs, Soros, and Gates, etc. want to rid the planet of the ‘useless eaters’, especially the RETIRED, confiscate their wealth, and REPLACE YOU with ‘serfs’.

Not a fan of Putin, but he is the LESSER OF TWO EVILS! We should NOT be supporting EITHER SIDE, financially or militarily. Assisting the DPs? Most definitely!

False choice. If you were sincere you would demanding we cut aid to Israel as well.

Is that the best argument you have?

1) There’s lots of things that Trump “explicitly stated” that he didn’t do.

2) I noticed you dodged the statement about Trump’s policy not being much different than Biden’s.

3) You really want to accuse the Russians of illegally invading sovereign nations? Really? You really are a brainless chickenhawk, aren’t you?

4) After 17 years in Iraq and 19 in Afghanistan I’m sure many American families who had their sons killed wished that we had more “appeasers” (as you call them) making foreign policy in Washington.

5) The best thing for you to do as the resident “Neo Con”...or sorry...”Paleo Con” as you call yourself...is to get off the couch and take your candyass over to Ukraine as a volunteer. That’s how I’d like to see you “honor our agreement”. If we’re lucky maybe we can read about you as the next casualty...another useful idiot globalist poof dead on Ukrainian soil.

BM: Who knows what Trump really is?
Kevmo:***He stated explicitly that he supports Ukraine.
BM:1) There’s lots of things that Trump “explicitly stated” that he didn’t do.
***That is a nonsequitur. He explicitly STATED that he supports Ukraine, and that video points out explicit THINGS HE DID to support Ukraine. When you explicitly state that you support Ukraine then you support Ukraine. When you point out things you DID to support Ukraine then you supported Ukraine. You have a serious comprehension problem.

2) I noticed you dodged the statement about Trump’s policy not being much different than Biden’s.
***I do not dodge. Where is the dodge? I send you to the video. It addresses your bullshiite assertion. That is not a dodge.

3) You really want to accuse the Russians of illegally invading sovereign nations?
***Yes. Duhh. It’s incredibly obvious with Ukraine.

Really? You really are a brainless chickenhawk, aren’t you?
***Talk about dodging, paytywaist appeaser. You really are a Putin Puffer, aren’t you?

4) After 17 years in Iraq and 19 in Afghanistan I’m sure many American families who had their sons killed wished that we had more “appeasers” (as you call them) making foreign policy in Washington.
***I understand the sentiment. But we SIGNED that agreement, we dismantled those nukes, and the Rukes invaded the Ukes BECAUSE they didn’t have nukes. You wanna talk about more than 6months in Iraq or Afghanistan, then address it where it ain’t a red herring, on my emBASEee Strategee thread.

5) The best thing for you to do as the resident “Neo Con”...or sorry...”Paleo Con” as you call yourself...is to get off the couch and take your candyass over to Ukraine as a volunteer.
***I’m ready to go. Set up my GoFundMe account so you can track how I’m gonna spend your money over there. I will be joining their suitcase nuke project.

That’s how I’d like to see you “honor our agreement”.
***GoFundMe I’ll go.

If we’re lucky maybe we can read about you as the next casualty...
***If we’re lucky the Russkies will target your home in their nuke retaliation. Your home and only your home.

another useful idiot globalist poof dead on Ukrainian soil.
***You would call Trump a globalist poof. Frack off.

I doubt you need a GoFundMe page to get over there. But I’d sure like to see you over there. Btw, Putin says “Boo!”

But if there were Russian tanks rolling through my town you had better believe I would spend every hour trying to kill as many of them as possible before they get me.

Much more likely they'll be US tanks targeting a dissident American faction, and I have little doubt that regime fanbois like you will be cheering them on.

“Ukraine and Israel.
Interesting your mind would make that leap.”

Duh. I guess you’re uninformed about US military aid, so let me educate you.

2020 US military aid in millions:

Israel 3,300.000
Afghanistan 2,761.464
Egypt 1,302.018
Iraq 548.148
Jordan 503.973
Ukraine 284.009
