It will affect us. We support Ukraine now, or we fight Russia directly later.

Says someone who is willing to let millions of people die and be displaced, when we could do something about it.

I’ve served in the Army. I’ve traveled the world as a civilian including Russia and Ukraine. I am not naive or frightened and neither is Danny. You on the other hand are a Putin useful idiot.

The globalist would sacrifice a 1000 times the number of Ukrainians or anyone else for power n control. Zel is an Obama era deep state supported globalist getting tons of our taxpayer dollars. Convenient how Biden gets a pass on inflation due to another Russia Russia Russia.

This war or whatever Putin chooses to call it should end soon, and when it does, money to repair the damage in Ukraine should come from Russia. It should not come from western nations directly, maybe we can collect some of it in the form of tariffs or confiscations.

The best solution would be for Russians to replace Putin with somebody more reasonable and admit a large share of the responsibility, perhaps in return for some concessions and a return to normal on the export of resources (but with some tariffs added to raise this reparation budget).

Or Putin could come to his senses and take that approach himself. I don’t think arresting him for war crimes is ever going to happen, whether it should or not. He’ll be lucky enough to be alive in a year or two anyway by the looks of recent photos.

Excuse me Neocon, I don’t care if you charged up San Juan Hill with Teddy Roosevelt, America is finished with illegal wars fueled by defect spending. Now strap on some testis and re-up. Biden needs you.

Maybe, you simple misunderstand the PARODY . I would like to offer clarity here.
In 1998 at 20 years of age, [Twenty-four years ago] Zelensky joined his local team competing in the KVN comedy TV show.
International competitions were held where teams (usually college students) competed by giving funny responses to questions and/or showing prepared sketches.

Check the dance sketch again: the parody of rough tough Cossacks feminized into drag queens!

If you don’t get it that is ok. The audience found it hysterical! The initial Cossack costume was torn off before dancing.

EXACTLY!!!

Check the sketch again: the parody is that the rough tough Cossacks are feminized into drag queens with the initial Cossack costume torn off before dancing.

Yet, some lustful homophiles purposely find more personal satisfaction from “misunderstanding” the PARODY!
Whatever, I guess it takes all kinds in society today.

You are totally correct! Ignore the ‘Putinistas’ that must focus on spreading disinformation about President Zelensky.

Imagine how these envious and resentful these ‘Putinistas’ must be to cast dispersions against President Zelensky! than face the reality their miscreant champion!

Putin is nothing but a profoundly and manifestly evil murderous dictator.

Your premise is wrong.

When Ukrainians voted for independence from the Soviet Union in 1991, all of its 24 “oblasts,” or regions – including Donetsk, Luhansk and Crimea – supported Ukraine independence. The minority of ethnic Russians were included as Ukrainian citizens in an independent state voted for independence.

The ethnic Russians and Russian speakers in Ukraine’s east did not automatically support the separatists or want to be part of Russia. Since 2014, some 1.5 million people have left the Donbass to live in other parts of Ukraine.

That statement is NOT factual.

The exact point is the minority ethically Russian or Russian speakers other ethnic minorities in Crimea & Donbass region were living peacefully For most of the first two decades after Ukraine independence. In other words, being an ethnic Russian or a Russian speaker does not indicate that one sees its self as part of the Russian World.

There has been an increase in sentiment of a strong, unified Ukrainian identity since 1991. Most Ukrainians see their future as a sovereign country that is part of Europe. Of course, this directly contradicts Putin’s goals.

Putin attempts to invoke the concept of the “Russian World” or “Russkiy Mir” – that Russian civilization extends to everywhere that ethnic Russians live no matter where Russians are in the world.

It takes real Balls to do both, slightly!

That is why Biden, Schumer, Schiff for Brains, and other Democrat lunatics can’t do anything right.

“ She was a comedy writer for Zelensky’s production company?

So, she was the lamebrain who came up with all those raunchy skits?”

“In Living Color”, “SNL”, and “Mad T.V.” were on par or even worse sometimes.

Did you Clutch your Pearls over those?

Because you’re aping the giant western media propaganda machine bullet points is why

And proclaiming you don’t believe anything anyone else says that is supportive of Russia perspective

I’d take both skeptically

As for being aggressor ok I’ll go with that since they invaded although at least to me ukraine and their militias have been the aggressors for eight years indiscriminately shelling civilians in a region where 89% voted in a referendum for some sort of Russian ethnic home rule or autonomy

We have been aggressors ourselves and support the dominant power when it suits us

Nevertheless it’s not our fight

And we’re just prolonging it
