That's a great point. Asymmetric attacks are critical. Protecting sensitive industrial facilities from drone attacks needs to be a thing. We need to see some of those anti-drone EW guns available on Amazon for public use, even if you have to get a FCC or FAA license to operate them.

All this strengthens both Ukraine and America, our positions in the world, our economies, our societies.

Another important partnership document was signed today - the Memorandum of Cooperation between the Zhytomyr region and the state of Indiana. The document envisages the development of economic ties and investments, strengthening of trade relations and exchange of experience in the agricultural sector and high-tech production.

Thanks to the governor of the state of Indiana, Eric Holcomb, for his comprehensive support of Ukraine!

Who elected you as spokesperson for the entire mid-West?

You are one individual isolationist who holds views that are actually a minority position throughout this country.

If we continue to provide aid to Ukraine and Russia continues to be degraded militarily, we might not have to budget all that money to build more nukes and civil defense you so desperately want.

I can tell you that the majority in Missouri is against the spending. I support US defense of Taiwan and I am shocked at the amount of Trump voting Republicans that are against all support for Taiwan and Ukraine. The Obama-Biden Democrats are the reason Russia is in Ukraine to begin with. If Ukraine hadn’t meddled in our domestic politics they wouldn’t be in the situation they are in now. They weakened Trump and help defeat him in the election. That memorandum of understanding is just another example of that groups meddling. We need a more sophisticated and larger nuclear arsenal regardless of the outcome between Russia and Ukraine. We need fallout shelters and better civil defense against Nuclear and especially biological attack. The Chinese and Russians let alone Iran represent a serious threat and we are almost totally at their mercy.

It's the try hard of trying to get people to be MAD.

Why would that make you mad? Do you love Biden, Macron, China and Russia? Or are you a Nordic feminist?

Edit- You mean Mutually Assured Destruction? No, if we have proper civil defense and a good offensive capability we don’t need to consider MAD a thing. You read me opposite. I’m not what you think. I want to win and marginalize or destroy all the communists and socialists. Leaving the American people open to attack by anyone who walks across the border or can send an icbm our way is neglegance.

Russia is just defending the rights of Russian speaker who were oppressed by the regime in Kyiv. Russia is totally not interested in genocide against the nation and people of Ukraine.

All right. If Ukraine wins you are empowering the socialist EU which holds values opposite my own. We can look forward to an ever stronger Macron, Labor government in Britain, Canada, Poland, Hungary, Spain, just about everything. This to me isn’t about Russian aggression as much as it is about the US-deep state and European socialists remaining in control of us. If this was about protecting the interests of the American people we’d be protecting the southern border.
Your side argues out of both sides of your mouth. You can’t have Ukrainian nationalism and join the EU. The EU is moving towards becoming more centralized and anti national every year. I don’t support sending my money to protect European values. Let them pay. France has nukes. Let macron send his tax payer’s money.
We shouldn’t have left Afghanistan and I’d go back. No nation building. Plant the flag at those air bases. That was far more valuable against China and Russia than Eastern Ukraine.
In my estimation China is far more aggressive than Russia. I see Russia as Chinas pawn. When Russia is sufficiently weakened China will move on Russia. They think on a long time horizon. You might want to see China move into eastern Russia when Putin collapses but in another generation you will regret it. Not enough space for a serious conversation. I am mad. No MAD, prepare and win if necessary.

Yeah, I’m sure 87% of what we’d be posting will get covered while we’re gone. It’s the 13% people might miss but that’s how the cookie crumbles. Prime and everyone will hold the fort down but the basis of the thread - the axis that’s not changing just the details of what they’re up to and how that’s being addressed or not addressed.

Your side called me a Russian agent and then retarded. I’m happy to stay on your topic I have a lot of questions and input to add. I’m not the one that lowered the level of discourse to that level. I’m actually not against Ukraine or the Ukrainian cause to get the eastern provinces back just the leaders that helped take trump out in 2020 I will never forget that.

If Russia somehow took over 100% of Europe or only Ukraine, would what change? Would Europe then no longer be socialist? What form of government and economy is Russia? How does Russia seizing Ukraine or Europe free the USA from deep state control? I can raise many points on why policy on Ukraine should be changed but none of my points would overlap with yours. As anyone involved with international relations and geopolitics knows, you have to grasp the pros and cons of everything like a lawyer in a courtroom so you can better advocate for your position, that’s why I read TASS, Xinhua and Mehr. Not to absorb their propaganda but to understand their propaganda. One must know their enemy to defeat their enemy. Anyway, how does what you’re advocating translate into positive outcomes for the USA?

If Poland can’t maintain its distance from EU control how will Ukraine? That pretty much leaves Hungary and I know lol he loves Putin. The EU is just the United States before the civil war.

I’ll answer the last question first. I believe in the sovereignty of the United States. I don’t want an international rules based order set up by a bunch of European socialists, a future where the green new deal is an international treaty and a global oligarchy decides who gets what resources based on the climate religion they created to hide their Marxist agenda.

I hear you actually lol. Are you Ukrainian? I’m not against you. I’m against the Marxist communist domestic enemies here that hate us all. The people in rural Missouri are like that because of generations of attacks by our elites.

Gramsis long march is complete You arrived when the people of rural Missouri have damn near been destroyed already. Sorry Did you think America was a shining city on a hill? We aren’t allowed to think that way anymore

How will Ukraine be better off getting colonized by refugees than Russia? It’s a no win scenario for Ukraine.

Yes, but correlation is not causation. The people behind brexit are diametrically opposed to immigration.

Good thing those aren't "old growth" forests with spotted owls in them.  They would be off the US approved target list.

So the troll is saying Putin is the only one that can save Europe from the globohomo? Putin is invading The ukraine to save them? Where have we heard that before? That's an RT/Putin talking point from 2022.

ETA - previous screen name for that troll?

Ok, but your position on Ukraine allows a China/Russia alliance to be the dominant power in world influence.

That proves my point. It was his undersecretary of state Vicky nuland and Hillary Clinton that pushed the orange revolution because they damn well knew the Russians would occupy Crimea and the East. The knew the Russian invasion would happen and didn’t prepare because they wanted this mess to go the way it has. They wanted Russia to overreach which they did and then leverage the Ukrainian men into the meat grinder in the East to take down Russia so they can loot it and use the earnings there to oppress us in the United States. The American people and Ukrainian people have the same enemies. We are fighting one Russia but the second one the global communists we are pretending they are our friends. They, Obama, Susan Rice, Hillary, Victoria Nuland, Joe Biden, etc, etc who are benefiting from this are the second and most dangerous enemy.

He’ll Bill Clinton was pushing climate shit back in the 1990s before Russia and Ukraine ever squabbled
Like I said, there are pros and cons to any policy but I don’t see a direct connection with your point on redistribution of wealth because Europe orders the USA to do it because of Ukraine
In my 7 years of posting I’ve never advocated for global warming or climate change or open borders or transferring sovereignty of US economy to Europe. In 2013-2014 I argued for increased European defense spending and OSCE sought my advice on Russia’s activities and intentions in Ukraine.

Like I said I can make a coherent argument against support for Ukraine because I need to understand the pros and cons of policy positions but my points would not include the ones you’ve listed so far

I’m  not against fighting Russia I just want everyone who pushed the Russian hoax on us thereby actually meddling in our elections to be removed before they get our money. If them at means Russia holds those East provinces a little longer so be it.

Kudos to all the information you all put in this thread, I wouldn't know any details because our main stream media is full of crap or too lazy to get actual details.

? You implied Europe’s leadership was flooding their respective countries in order to secure election victories.

How does that not apply to Britain?

There was not mass immigration prior to BREXIT?

Didn’t Labour Party in the UK oppose BREXIT?

Russia turned out to be a joke. The globalist/commies are no joke. They have co-opted most of you guys into their cause. I put the threat from our globalist-Marxist enemies on parity with that of Russia and China. We need to be fighting them all at once and not tolerate them in our ranks.
