The issue isn't Moscow 'telling' us what to do. Putin said that any Warsaw Pact mnation joining NATO would be considered an act of war, and it was.
Sure it is, in so many words. You want us to base our decisions on Ukraine on what Putin SAYS he's going to do. As I said above, we could have not given any security assurances to Ukraine and Putin could still have invaded. We would have been giving exactly what he wanted.

Read your history. Peace for our time. Appease the murderous dictator, it will be alright. Nothing to see here.

The bottom line is you don't GAF about Ukraine. "Give me liberty or give me death" means something when it's your country fighting for their freedom but Ukraine shouldn't have the same opportunity for self determination and independence it might piss off Putin. Thank god the French didn't take that attitude.

This is EXACTLY the type of conflict where we should take sides. Even in 2024 we must stand up for democracy and use our strength and influence to fight back against tyranny. For Gods sakes, Russia IS all the things MAGA says they hate. Every "ism" you guys say is taking over our country..........communism, socialism, fascism, authoritarianism..........THAT'S PUTIN'S RUSSIA.
 
Just for fun, let’s start posting Quixote speak:

Putin and Hitler are guys who should be respected. Just ignore all of the people they have killed over the years.
Quixote:

“If Putin or Hitler promise they’ll invade you for having allies they don’t like? Roll over like a beaten puppy and give your country away.”

No, I want us to base our decisions on a logical risk/benefit analysis. What did we stand to gain if Ukraine joins NATO? Very little. What did we stand to lose if Ukraine joins NATO? A war that Ukraine cannot win, a destabilized Europe and a very real possibility of an even wider regional war. Don't forget that Russia has over 9,000 nuclear warheads as self-declared by SALT. If Ukraine gets the long-range missiles that they have been begging for and strikes Moscow, that war could go nuclear, at least with tactical nuclear weapons.

Further, we should use the same type of logical risk/benefit analysis to make military decisions regarding Israel, Taiwan and the Chinese Navy in the South China Sea.

Because the guy that took the video wasn't African he was a black American. He saw what was happening from the street and filmed it. This was looked into by a journalist and proven that the video is real. It's over a year old. African immigrants cooking cats on the grill.
Unlike your nonsense, I have incontrovertible video proof of AMERICANS eating pets:

If wealthy European countries are not willing to reduce their elaborate social welfare programs to defend non-Nato allies in their region, American taxpayers should roll over like a beaten puppy and subsidize their vast government welfare systems by paying for their defense against countries not in North America.

Wtf, so your stance here is to shove your empty head up your ass because something is happening in a part of the world that isn’t in North America. So Putin should go unchecked. Hitler should have gone unchecked. And so on and so forth. Because this is what you’re saying. You and some others on here really need to step away from the computer, go outside, take a deep breath, and reassess your lives. Just an incredibly stupid take from you, and that’s saying something.

Keeping read to the parts about Vietnam and Iraq.
You mean just read past Hitler or do you not know what "Peace for our time" refers to? Skip over that one. How about Stalin and the Iron Curtain? Korea?

Clearly you believe because we lost Vietnam we shouldn't have tried to do anything.

Iraq is a mixed bag. Poor example. Economic conditions are much better and they aren't living under a dictator but it cost hundreds of thousands of lives.

They must defend their stance at all costs. If they actually engaged in an intelligent discussion they might stop and catch themselves before reaching the point where they are defending an utterly ridiculous position.

Start out arguing let Russia take Ukraine and end up saying standing up to Hitler was a bad policy.

It’s wild. Their hatred of “libs” is so strong that their brains have fallen out of their asses and they come up with takes like this. X is happening in a country on another continent and the current response is “meh, out of sight, out of mind”. Never mind that those idiotic takes go directly against the foundational principles of this country.

Better go back and reread WWII because you and your incoherent sidekick 95 seem more confused even than usual. The US didn't enter the European war until after Hitler declared war on the US.

Are you saying the US should have gone into Europe to stop Hitler before he overran Belgium and France? Peace in Our Time is a lesson that could apply here, even if you don't understand it. The Brits and French could and should have taken action to stop Hitler in the mid-30s.

Likewise, the Brits and French and the other wealthy European countries (relative to Russia) could take action to stop Putin overrunning a non-Nato country if they think it in their best interests. We can sell them weapons systems that are superior to anything the inept Soviet army has. They have the money to buy those systems without massive subsidies from US taxpayers. They are ripping us off, obviously.

Is the real story here with you libs is that you so admire the vast socialist programs of the Western European nations that you think US taxpayers should be forced to subsidize them?

Your post is incredibly shortsighted.

Why do you think we are the world’s economic engine? It’s in a real part because we have agreements to protect our allies, which leads to innumerable trade deals. It’s also because the world’s developed nations consider us the best hope for the world and against tyranny.

The tunnel vision in your post is only surpassed by your insatiable need to name call, label, and refuse to consider any opportunity to learn something. Instead, when you don’t know something you try to decide which posters are assuming the identity of other posters (they’re not) and call people names like a frustrated first grader. Good lord do better!

MAGA brains are truly beyond broken. That you have to type any of this out to him should be embarrassing enough for him, but he will double down instead with his response.
