Why Are We In Ukraine?

Worth a read, thanks.

I could not that believe that a conservative could write such a piece about a matter that is so trivially simple: Russia is a threat to the mere existence of the Western society and Ukrainians are willing to do the fighting. It is worth remembering that Russia (as Communism before) is a threat regardless of US policies or whoever occupies the Kremlin - the whole Russian society is hell-bent on the (suicidal) destruction of the West. It is evident for now that for V.Putin Ukraine was a just a first (easy in his eyes) step toward world domination in alliance with China. Fortunately, he miscalculated badly but we have to use this opportunity to stop them. In many respects, this is reminiscent of Munich in 1938, but in our case, modern-day Czechoslovakia decided to fight alone despite being sold out.

It is my belief that most of our current politicians, all democrats and over half the Republican Party, have sold us out and Ukraine is their money laundering piggy bank. JMHO.

If that is the case, Nr 2, then let the Europeans deal with it. It is none of our business.

Russia is not a threat to anyone. They're a broken shell of the remnants of the USSR. Their military is proven trash, their generals are horrible, their navy is a tiny joke, their Air Force still hasn't taken control over Ukrainian air space, and so on. Russia has only a few things going for it right now: 1) an educated population we have been brain draining since the Wall fell 2) nuclear weapons they haven't been maintaining which may or may not still work 3) cyber warfare, a dangerous game they can't afford to play with us 4) Germany stupidly letting themselves become dependent on Russian natural gas which is being corrected What threat to the world are they? They can't even take over a tiny agrarian non nuclear nation right next door which has no nukes, limited Air Force and trivial navy. Any Russian threat to their neighbors is appropriately responded to with, "Yeah, you and what army?" because they don't have one. The entire US defense policy of nearly unlimited Ukraine support is a pure cash grab from American tax payers into the pockets of the defense contractors and our corrupt politicians. We have absolutely no strategic national interest in Ukraine. None. Nada. Zip. Nil.

Very simple. Ukraine bribed the Bidens with millions and the Bidens are paying them back with billions.

the elephant in the room is NATO Putin drew his red line 14 years ago but NATO continued to poke the nuclear armed hibernating bear. Why? To justify their existence and to buy their military industrial bosses'weapons

Another vote for money laundering, Ukraine is Congress' clearing house for corruption money.

Russia is nothing but Bulgaria with nukes. This whole thing is being done as a red herring to cover for the series of train wrecks since the Nov 3 Grand Theft of the Election. All actions and pronouncements of this cabal are now focused on one thing - how to reduce the threshold of fraud required to steal the next election. Nothing else matters to them.

this is pretty much the same argument as for ignoring Planned Parenthood killing babies next door even when we know they are letting them live, lifting the organs out of them alive, and selling them. I always wondered why people let that go and now I understand. So we are to cocoon in our own prosperity and find fault with the victims of violence and also find fault with those who cry out that God calls us, and he does, to save the innocent being dragged to slaughter. Because there will be fault to find everywhere. Listen. God forbids all of that. We are not a random country and if some country is suffering then we have proportionate responsibility. Sorry to have to be the one to inform you. There is a sin called sloth. You can't just sit back and cocoon when there is a duty out there. It is related to the duty of a pregnant woman, the duty of a soldier. It is all one thing and the argument for letting Ukraine suffer is the same as the argument for letting Planned Parenthood kill in black neighborhoods. Same. Same. One makes the case for the other.

Re #2 - well, then Congress should declare an Act of War. China is the real threat to this country (has been since being allowed into the WTO) and a threat to the world. Screw Ukraine's sovereignty when our own Southern Border has been ripped wide open and on purpose by the Dems.

"all of the Democrats and at least half the Republicans in Congress you're on the bipartisan team Gravy Train, elbow deep in the one supply chain—the military-industrial complex's arms-procurement racket" Truth!

So our elected officials can get their ten percent of the 40 billion of our tax dollars funneled back into their fortunes. This is how commoners comes to Washington and leave as millionaires and sometimes billionaires (aka Clinton’s).

If the politicians, the media and Hollywood are all in for Ukraine, it immediately makes me suspicious. Why is congress sending tens of billions to protect the sovereignty of a foreign country when they wouldn’t willingly spend a penny to protect their own country?

#2 - Is George Washington a liberal pacifist, in your estimation? If one bothers to read Washington's Farewell Address one finds advice very much applicable to the current NATO and Ukraine conflict and American involvement. In simple terms, he advised the US to “steer clear of permanent alliances with any portion of the foreign world” (NATO), and to avoid involvement in European "intrigues." (Ukraine) Washington further pointed out, "The Nation, prompted by ill-will and resentment, sometimes impels to war the Government, contrary to the best calculations of policy." Could the response to Russia (including NATO expansion to the border and forward basing) be an example? "Excessive partiality for one foreign nation, and excessive dislike of another, cause those whom they actuate to see danger only on one side, and serve to veil and even second the arts of influence on the other." Let's leave it at this: "Europe has a set of primary interests, which to us have none, or a very remote relation. Hence she must be engaged in frequent controversies, the causes of which are essentially foreign to our concerns. Hence, therefore, it must be unwise in us to implicate ourselves..." After 75 years, it is time to modify, if not terminate, our NATO obligations, allowing our Euro "allies" to fend for themselves on their side of the Atlantic, and fully pay for the privilege of their mutual defense. We can watch the western flank from North America. #10 - God has his own ways of intervening on the side of the just.

Do not ever forget that Ike's original words were "military-industrial-congressional complex."

We are not "IN" Ukraine. We are supporting them with weapons. Way, way different that being "in". The headline is a fraud.

That’s easy. We are there to protect the money train that the Deep State has ridden on for decades.

...and to hide the US sponsored bio-labs hidden there.

The disinformation posts are think as can be. People need better BS meters, clearly.
