Wow. I'll restrain myself in honor of NWF courtesy and just say I completely disagree with most of what you wrote. Some items require a more direct response.I figure one word; "Crimea". If Ukraine can kick Russia out of the Black Sea, and put some USA bases right up to the Russian border, we'd have an advantage. For what exactly, I don't know.
But for Zelenskyy to act as if he deserves anything from us rubs me the wrong way. Ukraine is no where near ready for NATO. And to push for more arms just makes us weaker IMO.
We have many cities with homeless piling up on our doorsteps, yet spend billions for weapons of war.
BIden already gave it away we're short on ammo. Over 100 countries ban cluster-bombs for a reason.
I can't say I support the thugs from either side, but I get how Russia wouldn't care for a lack of a "buffer" between them and NATO. We did say we wouldn't push further East.
Yet I see we as a country have taken up to using the Ukrainian flag as a symbol of support. I can't help but think the media has pushed that agenda.
Kinda silly, like how folks put a yellow ribbon on their SUV and think they "support the troops." Nah, you support the Saudis and whatever Chinese company sold you that magnet.
Feels to me along the lines of; Would we battle to save Texas from joining Mexico? I'd be like, "adios" and take your weak-azz power grid with you.
So, pro or con, how do you feel about our involvement in what I figure is little more than a civil war.
- "We have many cities with homeless piling up on our doorsteps, yet spend billions for weapons of war." Your implication is that billions of dollars diverted to homelessness would solve that problem. Wrong. This country has already spent billions of dollars trying to "solve" the homeless problem, and it has only gotten worse. More money is obviously not the answer to that problem, despite what Democrats would have you believe.
- "We're short on ammo." Says who? I suggest you visit your LGS. Ammo supplies are actually quite healthy, even to the point that "boutique" rounds are available at more or less reasonable prices. For example, purchased two boxes of Hornady 212-grain 300 PRC at LGS last Friday, and cost was only $54.99 per box. That certainly does not speak to "short on ammo," and while not cheap that availability is certainly a strong indicator of market conditions.
- "Kinda silly, like how folks put a yellow ribbon on their SUV and think they 'support the troops.' Nah, you support the Saudis and whatever Chinese company sold you that magnet." Okay, now you're entering the laughable realm. You really should learn a bit of history my friend. Yellow ribbons as a symbol of troop support date back at least to the 17th century. Good grief, to waste your time griping about people using yellow ribbons to show troop support is one of the silliest, most petty things I've ever read.
- "Would we battle to save Texas from joining Mexico? I'd be like, 'adios' and take your weak-azz power grid with you." This statement is so ill-bred that it stands on its own as a display of ultimate ignorance. No further response required.
