Quoted: Gather former Eastern Euro anti-Russia nations, then invade Russia. Putin's head on spike over Kremlin. Cull majority of Russian males to avoid insurgencies. Build many ski resorts. Hike gas price to Germany for being pussies. Export hot Russian blondes to GD basement dwellers. View Quote Attached File |

In my mind: in rapid succession stomp on China’s toes, kick Putin in the balls, and invade Canada (its been a long time coming and we need to liberate our friends in the north).
My uneducated opinion: Ukraine is too divided and corrupt for us to effectively back them. They are not NATO. Let the Russian’s have it we don’t need it. Let Europe fight Russia if they don’t want to be solely reliant on the for natural gas / oil. Enforce NATO requirements; kick Germany / nations out if they are not holding up their end of the bargain. Same thing can happen to them that happens to Ukraine. Increase domestic production of oil, natural gas, chips, high end electronics, and medical products. Develop independence from other nations and sell them our shit not vice versa. Get Americans working. Print gigantic flags with the middle finger, hoist it full mast, and sail the South China Sea all day everyday. |

Quoted: I don't see a clear win here. The moment the US commits to war in Ukraine, I see China rolling into Taiwan. If we commit in Taiwan, Russia is probably steam-rolling in Ukraine. If we commit to both, I think we lose a lot of Americans and both countries fall to Russia and China. If we do nothing, both countries fall to bad people. Not that either are perfect on their own. Losing Taiwan means we're completely dependant on China for microchips, unless that has changed. Losing Ukraine means Russia has more access to the oil pipeline there (name escapes me) and the EU is at Russia's mercy for a considerable percentage of their oil. View Quote Here's an idea: Let the EU fight for & defend their own pipeline... |

Quoted: Sell weapons to Europe to protect themselves from Russia View Quote Cunty bitchy little girls. If they'd had followed through on Juncker's desire for a European army, beholden to the EU, they'd have a standing Lesbian/ Transgender army at the ready right this minute. And the First Pronoun war would go on to its logical end. Historical inevitability. A tale of woe and sorrow for the traditionalists. Veritable slaughter. Pent up anger and avenging for improper pronoun use. Charging fearlessly across the field of battle, smiting cis-gendered hateful white slav patriarchists. Because racism and sexism shaming ain't got no end. A new beginning! |

Quoted: Zelensky is Ukraine’s Trump. I was in Ukraine during the run-up to his election, the establishment were throwing everything they could at him. The accusation that he’s a puppet of Vladimir Putin certainly hasn’t held up well. Zelensky, like Trump, is the product of people getting tired being fucked over by the same people again and again for decades and deciding “fuck it, let’s roll the dice with a non-politician, it couldn’t be any worse”. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted: Quoted: Quoted: Yes, please. Take more of my money away in taxes to give to the Obama installed regime. Fuck right off with that shit.

Zelensky, like Trump, is the product of people getting tired being fucked over by the same people again and again for decades and deciding “fuck it, let’s roll the dice with a non-politician, it couldn’t be any worse”. Zelensky is what now? You’re comparing a multi billionaire, with decades of experience in business to a regionally famous actor. Them both being outsiders is where similarities end. Zelensky was truly given a shit sandwich. He inherited a corrupt, depopulated, deeply divided country, with weak economy, weaker international partnerships and a gutted military. The idiocy of Ukrainian internal and external politics even make the US look forward thinking. I actually like the guy and what he stands for, but he cannot undo 30 years of post Soviet damage, plus 70 years of Soviet damage in a couple of years. The best he can hope for, is to keep most of his country, while avoiding a civil war or a coup from within. My guess, is when this will all be over, he’ll be a refugee in Israel. |

EU countries have to be the first responders. PERIOD.
If Russia attacks a NATO country…we respond. I don’t even think we should be arming Ukraine, it needs to be the EU. The EU has an agreement with Ukraine. A formal agreement of sorts. We do not. |

Unless Ukraine wants to join nato or eu, we and Europe do nothing. If they do then while negotiating the join, nato troops are stationed there. Unless they commit to being an ally or in a defensive alliance we have no reason to put their fire out.

Quoted: I think we should pull all of our shit out of the rest of the world. Fortify the fuck out of our defenses. Build an economy around our own production and resources and mind our own fucking business. With our nuke supply nobody will ever invade or attack us. We just need to be more self sufficient. View Quote Maintain a strong navy and nukes. Other than protecting our border and rebuilding our economy, infrastructure, and bringing manufacturing hone the US should stay out of the rest of the world. |

Quoted: Troops and aircraft to Poland, Estonia, Lithuania, and Latvia, as a deterrent and insist that NATO members match with troops alongside. Advisors and air defense systems for Ukraine and a shit ton of antitank weapons. View Quote This, I would even be ok with our special forces using Ukraine as a play ground too |

Quoted: Granted. But if we let Russia roll through Ukraine, our NATO Allies in Eastern Europe are next. Then what? View Quote Lol, they aren’t rolling on Poland or Germany…they’re rolling on Ukraine and any country like Belarus where they already have broad based support. The Poles hate the goddamn Russians. Like I stated before messing around in Ukraine was shitting in their backyard and we knew it. Putin is a known quantity and this was all predictable. |

Never let a crisis go to waste, especially one the gov. creates for their own selfish interests. We have very evil people running this country.

If I were POTUS this is what I'd do:
1. Start pumping oil like crazy from the US and promote the pumping of oil from around the world, the intent is to drive the price of a barrel of crude below $40, which is the point below which putin and russia will have heartburn with "sanctions". 2. Oil at below $40 and flowing freely will provide a nice hedge against inflation, US Taxpayers will appreciate that. Of course I'm not POTUS, and I clearly don't have all the advanced information that the potato has, so there's that... |

Quoted: I see Taiwan as more of a naval / Air Force battle. View Quote I see it as a massive sea/Air curbstomping of Taiwan, and then then a little secret Taiwanese canned sunshine rising over Beijing and a few other fun PRC spots. I can absolutely see the Taiwanese government going full Samson on their way down. And if THAT happens? Who the fuck knows what will happen next? |

Putin has wanted to do this for years.
Just as China has wanted Taiwan, for years. But they knew it was a bad idea for them to act. What changed? Biden and our withdrawal from Afghanistan. If Russia takes Ukraine, what’s next? The “Domino Theory” seems so antiquated, but it may be relevant here. Taiwan is paying attention. So is Estonia, Lithuania, Latvia, Georgia, etc. They have all experienced phase one Russian subversion activities, and certainly don’t want to get to the later stages where Russia insists on protecting “Ethnic Russians” from the Nazis… Our sanctions should be devastating to the Russian economy. Oligarchs should be hurt by them. The Saudis should increase production and bring the price of a barrel of oil down to $30. |
