Every port I visited in the USN had Ukrainian girls being trafficked, including children. You know who was trafficking them? Russian organized crime. Even places like the Philippines, Hong Kong and Thailand had a large Russian mob presence, trafficking girls from all over the former Eastern Block, as well as locals. Most people assume they are just Russian. This is based on intel briefs and NCIS briefs I received prior to every port visit.
No doubt there are some Ukrainians involved in trafficking people, just as there are Americans. But Russian is an order of magnitude worse, and their massive human trafficking ring spans the globe, including a large presence in the USA.
Our entire military presence in Europe and membership in NATO is based on checking Russian aggression.
This is Russia’s Vietnam and all we are doing is helping with some material goods, in Vietnam the Russians were not only doing that but fighting and killing us also, just like they did to us in Korea.
Reagan would love this deal.
Ukraine wants to join the West and leave the dark brutal primitive past of the USSR and Russia behind.
If Ukraine survives this invasion with enough of it intact, then the West will be helping them and requiring them to continue to reform and squelch and erase the remnants of Russian corruption and the organic Russian evil in their culture.
Made it up means exaggerated, the Bishop works everything to benefit Russia, much as the other pro-Russia people do exaggerating and magnifying Ukraine’s internal problems with human trafficking and corruption while ignoring Russia’s far worse version of those problems.
When it comes to corruption and Human Trafficking, it isn’t just the rankings, it is the fact that Ukraine is getting better and Russia is getting worse, one is fighting its crime, and one lives on it.
as I said, I’m done posting to you -t here’s no point. We disagree on everything.
I always hope that facts can help change someone’s opinions.

Then you post propaganda and just can't figure out what went wrong.
Making that up shows why you think as you do, you shut out the facts and let your feelings create the opinion that you wish to have,

Well said, this idea of “nazis” always makes me chuckle. In todays terms what does being a Nazi or neonazi mean? What power does that represent, what structure is there to accomplish their “goals”(still no idea what they are)
What I can see is behaviors exhibited by Nazi germany(BTW replicated by many regimes which we don’t call nazis, the word is used the same as calling someone a racist, or ….phobe). These behaviors like invading other nations, explicitly calling for genocide of indigenous people as many in Russian govt and media have done, torture, razing cities, targeting civilians. Does doing these things make one a nazi? Again if you say yes then how does that differentiate them from all the others who also have used these tactics.
The Russian propaganda was to frame this invasion as defensive, and of course the highest moral purpose denazification, but in reality it was a land, resource, and power grab Humm just like Nazi German, so who are the neonazis if one wishes to use this term
Having served under Reagan and having the pleasure of having him be the first president I voted for, I would imagine( can’t speak for him, but here is my guess)
He could and would have done both, help defeat Putins aggression and secure the border
The border was a mess before the Ukraine war and russias multiple invasions, helping Ukraine does not mean we can’t secure the border, that is a political decision not a resource decision
My two cents
