You DO personally have the option of taking Ukraine up on their offer, and helping them kill "The Russian bear". You personally do not have the option to spend other peoples money or send off our governments weapons to a foreign country under your personal authority. You don't understand the fallacy.

Im guessing again my views wont be popular here.
I have traveled to both countries in the past. Had alot of wonderful times in both countries. I just want my friends to somehow survive at this point. Prior to the war my wife wanted to go abroad.

Great folks when they stay in their country or if they visit without bringing Tanks, Artllary & Bombers... Ukraines too. Hope Putin comes to his senses & pulls back the Russians out of Ukraine, but sadly, I don't think that will happen because he won't settle for anything less than keeping Crimea, Donbass, the Land Corridor & other key parts of Ukraine. And that means the war will drag on and BOTH Ukrainians & Russians will keep on dying ... Russia has had this "Special Military Operation" as an "away game" (tearing up Ukraine with no damage to Russia), but at some point asymmetric warfare may come home to roost for the Russians - as they say "everybody has a plan until the get punched in the face"...

Quoted: You're arguing circularly now. Just war posits that war is terrible, but not the worst thing there is. Russia started this war and is causing that needless suffering that we have witnessed. Russia did that. They were unjust in doing so. Ukraine is just in defending themselves against this aggression. This isn't a powerpoint, this is real life where an aggressor nation unjustly invaded, and another nation is justly defending themselves. War is terrible, and you're giving the aggressor in this war a day pass because you refuse to call it what it is- an unjust invasion. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted: Quoted: Quoted: Quoted: Quoted: Quoted: Quoted: Quoted: Quoted: Quoted: Quoted: Quoted: What is the tangible negative result for American citizens, if Russia takes Ukraine? Hunter Biden and associates can’t launder millions in bribes? Seriously. How does it affect the guy working at the local McDonalds? It doesn’t. That’s not pro Russia…it’s literally America First. Well, it wouldn't have ended with Ukraine for one. Two, personally, I am totally okay with providing weapons and training to a country that is quite literally at risk of being genocided. It doesn't effect the guy at mcdonald's, but it doesn't have to in order to justify some level of help. Apply that standard globally. Wanna go visit Rwanda? Maybe we should step in when Ethiopia and Eretria go at it again? How about the CAR and the never ending purges...it's a literal genocide. What's the difference now? Why now and not then? Maybe we can add Tibet and what the Chinese did/are doing there? Wanna go toe to toe with the Chinese? You can't claim an ethical standard and then selectively apply it. We let genocide happen regularly and do nothing...so why are we all fired up about this one? Could there be other reasons...gee...what else happens in that specific country... A civil war within a country in africa is a lot different than an unjustified invasion in Europe. Not an apples to apples comparison. Further, Rwandan forces never had their eyes on neighbors, and never threatened dropping nukes on everyone if they didn't get their way. Don't get me wrong, it's a tragedy, but it's not the same scenario. What else is in Ukraine? Please be specific and provide sources. Ukraine is a corrupt quasi oligarchy that laundered money for US political groups and foreign powers. It is one of the most corrupt places on earth. This has not changed from then to now. Not once, has anyone in this thread identified a US National Interest in us fighting Russia for Ukraine. My standard is as stated above- Tell the guy working at McDonalds, why US tax money and manpower should go to Ukraine and not to anywhere else on the planet including domestic spending. Explain how that guy's taxes should be spent in Ukraine and exactly what will happen to him if we don't do it. Nothing...his life will not change by us staying home. We can feel bad about someone's country being invaded without that meaning we have to jump into the middle of the conflict. Ukraine democratically elected their leaders, and in fact the last time someone tried to prove what you said they actually ended up accidentally proving that it was Zelenskey's opposition that was the particularly corrupt party. Oops. I notice that you provided no sources, nor can you explain why them being corrupt means they waive the right to self defense. We are corrupt as well. I never said manpower should go to Ukraine or that we should "jump in the middle of it". But providing weapons and training is good to go. Your standard is weird. Yeah, the US democratically elected someone too...keep believing that. You want to get your war boner wet. Go get some. Stop pretending it is moral or justified and do it on your own time, not by proxy of US taxpayers and armed forces. There are no good guys in this fight. None. Stop trying to make it look like a john wayne movie and accept the reality that is is just two corrupt states fighting one another. PS. Nations don't have morality. They have national interests and what is best for their own citizens...is their national interest. There is zero upside for the US to be involved here...none. I am still in, and I have no intention of going to fight. I also have no problem in helping UKR to defend themselves. Stop pretending like I'm advocating we go to war. I'm not. In fact, doing what we're doing now helps to ensure Russia cannot invade another country and thus triggering article 5. This is one of the biggest upsides for us. Ensuring Russia has zero ability to trigger art 5. See, you can't think just one step ahead, you have to think of the unintended consequences of action and inaction. Your PS is wrong. When a nation unjustifiably invades, condones murder, pillage and rape and deliberately targets civilians that is immoral. I'm surprised this has to be said. Russia is very clearly the bad guy here, even a significant amount of Russians understand this. Ukraine is about as "good" as a country can be concerning this war. LOL, "Unjust" according to whom? We...as in the US Military...knowingly and intentionally firebombed entire cities full of civilians and we did it on purpose, multiple times. There is no morality in war. None. Morality is the illusion sold to simpletons who want a good vs evil feeling to justify the horrible things that are done as if it gives the deaths purpose and allows the people to not have to answer hard questions about how horrible their actions truly were. It is imbecilic to moralize war. It has no morality. It has winners and losers. All else is just to feel better about doing what you did to win. Unjust according to anyone with any sense, including many Russians who are dumbfounded that an American would say something as ridiculous as you just said. You clearly missed your PME, I'm saddened that we have such uneducated people in our ranks. I cannot believe that you never studied Just War Theory. Ignoring morality in war is for simpletons who are too scared to assign morality to actions. You are hilariously wrong, and need to educate yourself. Here's a primer. https://iep.utm.edu/justwar/ I had that class. Then I went to Iraq...twice. Same with Afghanistan. Theory met reality and reality wasn't like the books and powerpoints. It smelled a lot worse too and justice wasn't what decided who lived and died. War sounds awesome when you are 25. I thought it was the best thing...ever. Looking back, it was pointless and full of needless human suffering that would not have happened if we had not been there. It was not just for the literal truckloads of dead people that are still dead, no matter how much pretty paper we wrap our involvement in. War and just are not words that go together. Not in reality. Justice and truth are the first real casualties of war. You're arguing circularly now. Just war posits that war is terrible, but not the worst thing there is. Russia started this war and is causing that needless suffering that we have witnessed. Russia did that. They were unjust in doing so. Ukraine is just in defending themselves against this aggression. This isn't a powerpoint, this is real life where an aggressor nation unjustly invaded, and another nation is justly defending themselves. War is terrible, and you're giving the aggressor in this war a day pass because you refuse to call it what it is- an unjust invasion. No, I’m saying that our track record is one of absolute failure and mass death of civilians. We literally lose every war in the lifetime of everyone in this topic and there are more than a million dead civilians in the ground to prove it. Objective reality says…STOP DOING WAR…we lose and make it worse for actual humans while defense contractors get rich. This war is perpetual. It has paused, but it will always be there and we can’t stop that. It’s literally none of our business. We can’t add anything but more death. |

Quoted: Quoted: I had that class. Then I went to Iraq...twice. Same with Afghanistan. Theory met reality and reality wasn't like the books and powerpoints. It smelled a lot worse too and justice wasn't what decided who lived and died. War sounds awesome when you are 25. I thought it was the best thing...ever. Looking back, it was pointless and full of needless human suffering that would not have happened if we had not been there. It was not just for the literal truckloads of dead people that are still dead, no matter how much pretty paper we wrap our involvement in. War and just are not words that go together. Not in reality. Justice and truth are the first real casualties of war. Don’t forget nuance, that dies too. If you just send more lioness units and linguists…and drink more chai…and touch the beard of the elder for wisdom…and deliver these radios…and put the locals out front to give the people confidence in their own troops…and take off your helmet and glasses…and give the terrorists privacy in their mosque…and drop bombs intentionally off target as a show of force…but not actually kill the people that are killing people because it’s vital that the public see how we have the power to kill the terrorists and win but choose not to because…nuance Nuance the nuance of the nuances and the war will be won…even though we lose…we win because we didn’t kill our enemies… What a pathetic joke that all was. What a waste of life. |

Quoted: Nah, more like "if every comment you make regarding Russia/Ukraine mirrors everthing Russian propagandists say, you're a Russian sympathizer"... View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted: Quoted: So it would be something like, "Say you support Ukraine or you're a Russian sympathizer" Like many here keep repeating? Nah, more like "if every comment you make regarding Russia/Ukraine mirrors everthing Russian propagandists say, you're a Russian sympathizer"... Like saying it's none of our business, let the two corrupt countries on the other side of the world fight without the US getting involved and making it worse while dragging it out for decades costing $trillions while defense contractors get rich like we have done every time in the last half of a century? |

Quoted: Bullshit. There's a big difference between inevitable deaths in pursuit of military advantage and raping babies/blasting bystanders for kicks. If you can't tell the difference you're morally blind. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted: Quoted: LOL, "Unjust" according to whom? We...as in the US Military...knowingly and intentionally firebombed entire cities full of civilians and we did it on purpose, multiple times. There is no morality in war. None. Morality is the illusion sold to simpletons who want a good vs evil feeling to justify the horrible things that are done as if it gives the deaths purpose and allows the people to not have to answer hard questions about how horrible their actions truly were. It is imbecilic to moralize war. It has no morality. It has winners and losers. All else is just to feel better about doing what you did to win. Bullshit. There's a big difference between inevitable deaths in pursuit of military advantage and raping babies/blasting bystanders for kicks. If you can't tell the difference you're morally blind. The US knowingly firebombed non military targets full of civilians and admitted it was a war crime that they would be executed for if they lost the war. Who is blind? That happened. It repeated in Korea and VN on varying scales. There is no morality to it. It’s an illusion to market war to idealistic idiots. |

Quoted: Not unpopular at all. I have MANY Russian friends and family. If I had it my way, Russians would go home and no more of either side would die. Sanctions would be lifted, Putin would be dead, and both countries would get along and be peaceful. We can dream can't we? Until then, I hope Ukraine makes them pay for every fucking inch with blood, and I hope they do it with American weapons. View Quote I understand the idea. Back in the early 2000s when I was single I was in kyiv, at a meseum for the great patrotic war. ( the Lady with the Sword). First floor is mostly ww2 stuff.. I think it was the second floor, who knows after 20 years. I bumped into a Soviet soilder. Over there they put on old uniforms instead of a vfw cover. I was with a girl from kyiv and another acting as a translator so we were speaking English. He asked if I was an American and I said yes. We talked maybe 10 or 15 minutes. Not long. He mentioned how he didn't hate America but was jealous in a way. I called my dad later that day (he is a Korean war vet). My Dad explained how i shouldnt hate him as he didn't hate us. I wish I had asked him more questions... |
