...what, so Ukrainians can kill their fellow citizens on the battlefield. What a wonderful idea. I just read the coup-installed Ukrainian gov’t passed a law today that allows draft deserters to be executed. Do we real want to support a government such as this?
As it is, Russians are killing Ukrainians, Ukraine needs help if it stands a chance of defeating this Russian invasion.
Let me ask you a question.If this US truly a “Russian invasion” as you say, they could have taken Ukraine in a very short period of time. It took them, what, 5 hours to squash the Georgian invasion of South Ossetia, ans then retreated,BTW. How long do out think it would take Russia to defeat Ukraine & March right through Poland if they really wanted to? We have J effing Kerry telling us there are thousands of Russian troops & tanks in Ukraine. Where’s the proof? Where’s the satellite images DC is usually so quick to broadcast in other wars?
typo correction: if this WAS really a Russian invasion...
They are basically the same Slavic people. The people fighting for independence are Ukrainian citizens, but culturally Russian. It’s the same as American citizens who are culturally different, but are Americans, first & foremost. At least that’s what our founders hoped for.
Russia is obviously not devoting their entire military to invading Ukraine, only part of it, fighting on the “down low”.
It is a Russian invasion, to enslave Ukraine.
Why would you want that?
The people wanting to conquer Ukraine, is Russia.
This is something that we do not want, why do you want to support our enemy’s military and strategic goals?
I call BS. If Russia really wanted all of Ukraine they certainly could take it quite easily. This is not about a Russian invasion, but about citizens in a few republic’s seeking autonomy & independence from the coup-installed illegitimate Ukrainian gov’t. Also, we’re supposed to believe these “rebel citizens” are bombing their own hospitals. This makes no sense, whatsoever. If Russia truly wanted to conquer Ukraine they wouldn’t be just “pussyfooting” around, as you claim. Georgia is a fine example of how they operate, when they mean business. Aain, no satellite images. Why is that?
This is Russia invading Ukraine, just because they are doing it low key for diplomacy/propaganda reasons doesn’t mean they aren’t doing it.
Why do you support Russia over America and the West?
