Sucks to be Ukraine but I'm not willing to die for their soil, nor am I willing to have the service age people I care for do the same.  Allowing nations on Russia's borders into NATO would be insanity.

Ukraine has publicly stated many times this is their war and they will be the ones to fight it.

The caveat is that they would love some shiny new weapons to do so.

We're doing our part with 60 million dollars worth of tanks, humvees, and weapon systems delivered just this week IIRC but against a full Russian invasion it will take a miracle

I wish them the best.

Notice how the contested area of Ukraine with its ethnic population in need of Russia's help looks like a mirror imagine of the Sudetenland of Czechoslovakia with its ethnic population in need of Nazi Germany's help
If we let them take it there will be world peace, they will not ask for more, we promise

Years ago an old Austrian-Jewish man recounted to me how he was at a rally where Hitler spoke and said referring to England granting them the Sudetenland "At Versailles they over stepped, now we shall over step" and they took all of Czechoslovakia (It was a bit odd to hear a Jew say this admiringly)

Will Putin just take that enclave of Russians? Or, will they, like Hitler, take it all

Will anyone care?

Nope: No one will give a shit and the grave threats of economic action by Biden will stop Putin from taking Ukraine much like Obama's stern looks deterred Putin from taking Crimea

Will Europe cry like a bitch. yes.
Will Europe turn off Russian natural gas. Hell no, Ukr-who?

Don't fret.
This will be forgotten when China invades Taiwan and Biden retaliates with and increase in soy prices.
Boy will they feel that and be sorry for messing with Uncle Joe an da ho

Interesting flag on that red pickup truck.
View Quote
It is a stand-in for the flag of the Confederation of Novorossiya and was based on the Russian Naval Jack. Novorossiya is an unrecognised confederation of the Donetsk and Luhansk People's Republics, claiming the territory of the respective Donetsk and Luhansk oblasts in the Donbas region of eastern Ukraine.



The flying of the Novorossiya flag is seen as a "pro-russian" act. The American Confederate Flag is used as a stand in for folks since decals and such cannot be easily found.

We should stop being the world's police. The British did it for a while and look where it got them. They lost everything because of it. Instead, we should be Switzerland. Heavily armed and neutral. Our goal should be commerce and making things better for our own people.

We have enough problems in our own borders, why do we focus so much on outsiders? Why is Ukraine an issue but Cuba isn't? Why aren't we invading Cuba to overthrow their dictatorship? China is steamrolling all over Latin America and thr Caribbean, yet as a nation we aren't worried about that. But Russia is a threat to the US in Ukraine?

It is hypocritical if we are the world's police to make it an issue in one region but not another.

But, as I said, we should be Switzerland. Focus on or own problems, make bank, and be heavily armed.

My Grandfather smoked his whole life. I was about 10 years old when my mother said to him, 'If you ever want to see your grandchildren graduate, you have to stop immediately.'. Tears welled up in his eyes when he realized what exactly was at stake. He gave it up immediately. Three years later he died of lung cancer. It was really sad and destroyed me. My mother said to me- 'Don't ever smoke. Please don't put your family through what your Grandfather put us through." I agreed. At 28, I have never touched a cigarette. I must say, I feel a very slight sense of regret for never having done it, because your post gave me cancer anyway.

Ivan has issues deploying their sole aircraft carrier and keeping the thing afloat, catching fire, or cranes falling on it. I recall when they deployed it to Syria, it needed a tug to follow it because of constant issues of breakdowns. Their invasion of tiny neighboring border states is a monumental task and it stretched them thin.

The idea of them being able to deploy forces to the US is laughable. The reality is, other than their ICBMs and SLBMs, they are not a threat to the US.

Let Europe deal with their own issues.

I have researched this, and can't find a definitive answer. Also, that was 30 years ago. Nuclear weapons require constant maintenance. I don't believe Ukraine has the needed infrastructure to maintain nuclear weapons.

We have nuclear weapons in the dakotas. If DC went away tomorrow, would the governments of those states have the means to use their nukes?
