The Ukraine never was that important to them, the Dem progressives are ready to give them up and the Republicans (less Cheney and a few others) don’t care that much either.”

i used this analogy already on sonic but seems fitting: never play chess with a pigeon, no matter if you beat him, he’ll still strut around and sh1t all over the board.

high ground isn’t important lol…to utter this statement with conviction shows he doesn’t even understand how this war is being fought ….shame on me.

are you staying the Ukrainian people don’t have the right to defend their territory if they want to? Don’t they ultimately have the last say?

genuine question, is English your second language?

Exactly. ‘They’ can do whatever ‘they’ want. Keep your hands off my stack. Good hunting chap

And the Euros started to fold even before that. Not a comment on Ukraine, just on the fecklessness of so many of our NATO allies. Remember Germany’s promise a year ago to pour an additional $100 Billion into Defense?



Here is the current reality:


“some way short of what the defense minister initially sought”? Gee, you think?

An excerpt:
Germany plans to reach a NATO target of spending 2% of gross domestic product on defense next year, a measure on which it has long fallen short, with help from a special €100 billion fund set up to modernize the German military after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Berlin aims to meet the target via its regular budget later this decade.
Yeah, we’ll get to that long promised 2% sometime later this decade. And Germany is the most prosperous economy in the EU. So yeah, €100 billion is big talk, but they ain’t walking the walk.

And of course you misrepresent what I said which was that

Which isn’t to say that high ground isn’t advantageous for some things, but no- possession of Robotyne ain’t the determining factor in the Russo-Ukraine conflict. If you believe it is you are simply ignorant.

And, for your edification, Robotyne’s highest spot is 515 feet above sea level. Tokmak’s highest elevation is about 175 feet less.

A 175 foot drop over 20 miles is a 0.109% glide slope. That’s hardly hugely advantageous.

Can’t someone at least TRY to make a convincing argument for the path we’re on? Where’s the protagonist who makes any of this worth the risk, cost or SOF shame?

in the 21st century, no one nation should be allowed to invade another for territorial gains. If that doesn’t convince you nothing will.

This. Self-defense or humanitarian reasons only (de-nazification doesn't count, unless you can produce actual nazis).

Should is crap. ‘We’ are merchants of death. This aimless misadventure brought to you by the same nose pickers who sold the war on Saddam’s nuke stockpile. Remember him? Only 20 years and trillions later to dive in on another mega-dose of cluster. But lots of real nukes on real launchers this time. Rah, rah, rah. Go team 90% generations xyz can’t begin find on a map. Up your game. The topic is ruined lives & dead dreams. There’s far more at stake than you care or know anything about. The 22nd century has to be discovered not shot over. Think before you preach.

Your inability to think coherently does not produce an obligation on my part to repeat things. Try actually reading the postings rather than rebutting what you pretend I say to fit your biases.
