    If not now, when? But then again, some conservatives on this forum actually think that engaging China militarily would be a push over on our part and some want open engagement with China, not Russia.

    We are not the international police, but we do have multiple international security interests to look after. And that is the difference here.

    Well, that's where it all began - with Obama:

    [​IMG]

    Not only did Obama, Biden & Co. turn a blind eye to the imperialistic ambitions of a corrupt, anti-American dictator who had just invaded Georgia in 2008, they rewarded him by cancelling Bush's missile defense program in Eastern Europe and "resetting" relations with that corrupt, anti-American dictator during their World Ass-Kissing Tour.

    Did I happen to mention that after that corrupt, anti-American dictator invaded Ukraine for the first time in 2014, Obama, Biden & Co. refused to sell the Ukrainians lethal arms, even though Congress gave them the green light?

    There, I just did.



    Yep, Obama was more flexible towards Vlad the Invader than the entertainment at a bachelor party....:boo:

    So you wish Obama did what bidens doing? No, you’re calling for more of what Obama did while attacking him for doing it.

    I guess it's hard for you new progressive warhawks to understand that it's not our fight. Russia is not attacking us and Russia is also not engaging a proxy war against us

    I am a "new progressive warhawk"? Odd.

    And yes, Russia definitely seems to be probing us to see if we are still pandering to Putin's imperialism, along with encroaching on our allies.

    And what happens if, after all the arms and support, Russia still takes Ukraine? What then?

    The Lithuanians, Latvians, and the Estonians are part of NATO. Ukraine isn't.

    Yes, but won't stop Russia, will it? Ukraine wanted to join the EU in 2014 and Russia did not want that because it mean losing partial control of Ukraine. It is one of the reasons why Ukrainians revolted. They don't want to be dictated to by Moscow anymore.

    Sanctions will still be in place, Russia would have lost tens of thousands of men in that effort, and we would start financing the resistance movements through clandestine means.

    One of the best inaugural speeches of all time. But that is not how we got into Vietnam per se. We were there in the 1950s with Korea being the battlefield against Communism until 1964 when Johnson put some 400k active troops there.

    Yes, those countries being in NATO absolutely means that it stops Russia. Russia is a very much weaker country than the Soviet Union was. Given the troubles they've had in Ukraine, I'm not sure how someone could take seriously the idea of NATO going up against NATO (or, the US with a couple of pals). It just doesn't make sense.

    I wish I wasn't seeing the same spinelessness I've seen out of Biden that I saw out of Obama, but since we're talking about the same bunch of invertebrates, the same spinelessness is all I've ever expected out of them.

    Cuck is going to suck.

    Evidently, the message on the little plastic "Reset" button should have specified "Invade Ukraine once", not every time Team Democuck is in office.

    We weren't at war in Vietnam in the 1950's. An sentiment wise, that is pretty much how we got into Vietnam.

    Actually, we were. Why do you think we were there to begin with, especially with clandestine operations and the Viet Kong targeting American personnel then? We just kept it under the radar for most of that time, but we were at war against North Vietnam and its allies.

    The subject was Afghanistan. Try to stay focused.

    We were involved early on with special forces / advisors and air force, but got 'deep' only in 1965 when we sent the 3 500 Marines to protect the airfields in Da Nang. That opened the flood-gates for many more, - to over half a million in -68. It was nuts. So, helping Ukraine with arms does not compare in any way shape of form. Russia, in the other hand, was openly supplying N Vietnam with high tech weapons like anti-aircraft missiles, which is pretty much what we are doing now.

    Actually Ron DeSantis is the subject, and it has nothing to do with Obama or Biden.

    Pay attention!
