Professor: Why we must power through domestic issues to support total victory for Ukraine
The Augusta Chronicle ^ | 7/7/22 | Nicholas Barry Creel

Posted on 07/07/2022 4:29:12 PM PDT by JonPreston

As Americans, we must continue to stand with Ukraine in their war against Russia. As time goes by this will become more difficult as the cost of that support literally goes up for us all. Regardless, practically and philosophically, it remains in our nation’s best interests to pay that price.

As I conceded above, I am under no illusions that supporting Ukraine over the long haul will be easy. Doing so will come at a significant economic cost to the world, America included, as energy and food prices continue to go up in response to their protracted war

The costs of standing with Ukraine may well be high - but they can be controlled and they ultimately pale in comparison to the cost of anything resembling a Russian victory.

And in breaking news, US President Joe Biden ordered all Americans to wear their underwear on the outside, until Ukraine achieves total victory over Vladimir Putin's barbarian hordes...

The problem with the vast majority of academics is they live and work in a bubble. No dissenting views or arguments are allowed. Life is pretty simple when their is only one viewpoint and it’s 100% right and anything else is 100% wrong and cannot be tolerated. One doesn’t need to worry about any facts that don’t fit the established narrative as they are 100% wrong and not worthy of even minor examination as they might cause emotional discomfort.

Before Russia invaded Ukraine, Ukraine was a dumpster fire of corruption. After the invasion it’s the virgin who must be saved from the slavic hordes. In reality, it the sceptic tank of dirty money in which all the politicians and elite wish to wallow. Once again, the hogs gather around the trough for the old whore (the USA) to fill it with other people’s money. Ain’t life grand?

Nonsense.

These people just want a built in excuse.

Supporting Ukraine (or not) need have no effect on our economy whatsoever.

We would like to use the laundry detergent that was used on Gilligan’s Island. Their clothes were exceptionally clean despite being stranded on a deserted island for many years.

I’d like to see it a tie, with the Russian army decimated to the point where it is not a threat to its neighbors. There is no “good guy” in this fight.

My question is this: If Russia achieves all of it’s goals in the war with Ukraine, how would that adversely effect the U.S.?

“America should find a way to get inbetween all of it!”

Selling arms and intel to the underdog with political kickbacks to politicians? Take payment in oil, mineral rights, grains and raw materials....

Nothing some local hookers, politicians and international lawyers can’t get rolling.

Huge margins in regional warfare.

Just don’t get caught starting it....

Get f@cked, Professor. Supporting Ukraine with arms and money will do nothing for Americans except make them poorer. Sending assets to Ukraine will ensure that part of those assets will wind up in the pockets of US congressmen and Biden administration officials in the form of kickback.

Ukraine is not our problem.

The domestic enemy democrats and their communist friends are our problem.

Focus… it’s a wonderful word…

There is no argument to keep supporting Ukraine. I hope Russia finishes this off quickly and we can cut this crap out of our lives.

No more money and no more weapons.

I’m with you. After watching those corrupt bastards sell Trump out during impeachment, I have despised those people. It’s obvious that the Ukraine government was a money laundering scheme for Democrats, especially crackhead Hunter and his pedophile Father.
Zelensky could have spared his country all this destruction and death if he had the sense to negotiate.

“ Let’s start by sending the Professor’s entire salary for the next couple of years to Raytheon to provide weapons for the Ukraine.”

Better yet, send the prof to Ukraine. Problem solved.
