I remember reading William Shirer’s Berlin Diary, and he was struck by how little enthusiasm there was among the average German when Hitler invaded Poland.
Check your facts…because they are simply not true. Back to Kievan-Rus, Ukraine and Russia have been linked culturally, religiously, and linguistically. Katherine the Great drove out the Muslims (Turks) from Ukraine and rebuilt it using General Potemkin. I have no problem with Ukrainian independence…but about 50% of them are sympathetic with Russia
“We did the same foolish adventure in Vietnam. How did that work out?”
They took over San Jose...
“Lets see how ‘mind our own business’ you are once Russia or china cuts off a strategic resource halfway across the world and suddenly you can’t buy a car or food prices triple. It doesn’t have to be stupidly intervening in every tinpot conflict or even anything major”
It sounds like you are describing the current situation.
“Capone had no debt.”
Except to the IRS.
True post there.
And they all moved here it seems to continue that dream.
“Historically, Ukraine has always been part of Russia. Russia wants their land back”
Maybe. But more importantly he drew the proverbial line in the sand and after watching NATO expand like crazy said STOP IT NATO. And everyone said screw you were not stopping. That’s what a real line is for.
What would we do if China signed NATO like agreements with Canada, Mexico and Cuba?
Never mind. Xiden would just say “pretty please don’t do that.”
Just like Ireland has always been a part of Britain?
Good point. They are, but then again they could draft and force the vax. Conscripted doesn’t really give a choice. I told them to hold out until we are invaded.
I don’t think we will have a draft. But then again. We got biden now.
Well Obama and Biden made it easy for Russia to do just that. They basically handed Russia anything they wanted to do in Ukraine.....and Biden’s still doing this.
We're being invaded now! Check out our southern so-called "boarder"!
Yeah but that is the soft invasion. I am talking hard invasion.
Not true. Capone was simply not paying taxes, among other crimes. He was a very rich man making millions from bootleg operations.
What is not true? He got busted on tax evasion. Not any of those other crimes he committed.
Historically, Ukraine has always been part of Russia. Russia wants their land back.
Russians don’t want Ukrainian land. IF they did Putin wouldn’t have to round up snot nosed conscripts and send them into a meat grinder.
If invasion is such a bad thing to Jao Bai-din, he'd stop abetting the foreign invaders coming across our Southern Border. He'd have the DOJ charge politicians in "sanctuary cities" who are aiding and abetting foreign invaders.
The United States has no standing to point a finger at any other country that invades another.
That’s a false choice. Would you fight for your land if an invading army showed up at your house and said your country had no right to exist? OF course your would. Ukrainians are no different.
Putin has kicked a hornets nest and now a lot of Russian boys are going to go home in body bags.
I wouldn’t want to see my son die for a country that says Whiteness needs to be eradicated, they could tell my daughter she’s really a boy in a girl’s body, the American culture is all about hip hop garbage and rappers, forced vaccines, open borders, replacement of American workers with Indians, Chinese, and Arabs, CRT, and a plethora of other mess I could name.
Anyway, he served four years in the Navy, and he’s now a policeman, and I already have to live with that fear everyday.
So what exactly would these young, men be fighting for? Certainly, not their own freedom. They can send mercenaries from south of the border.
My point was he was NOT broke unlike our country. You are right, he was busted for tax evasion. Capone just ignored all laws. But he was not broke.
