you're 100% right...I was wrong

Now, where's our prize as a country?

Oh, I know...billions of dollars down the drain for a "crippled Russia" that was already, apparently crippled (and our intel agencies were too brain dead to notice, apparently, although I think it was deliberate).

Good deal, as always!

Russia just might have been the biggest and best boogeyman ever created...ever...ever...ever....

Look at how much traction it's given certain sectors of our nation since 2015.

What I think we've won is that we showed the world that we don't even need to send troops in to win a war. We've grown so powerful that just our support is enough to effect the balance of power in a conflict. Which is also an indictment of the Afghanis' poor cultural make up who proved not deserving of our support. I realize rogue nations won't believe it. It would be nice if they did as it would prove a deterrent. It should make us feel safer.

Except Russia isn't the actual threat. Never was...unless you're Ukraine...then again, they were so dumb, they practically begged to be invaded.

Try again please.

BTW, guess who's going to end up giving billions more to fix broken Ukraine once this is all over.

Yep...you guessed it...sucker USA

This is gonna end up a trillion dollar "win" if it goes long enough.

Good thing we got Roe v Wade to take our minds off the important stuff

He made a good point there, as usual.

One recent example:

If NATO didn't exist, Ukraine wouldn't be getting the same kind of military aid and $$$$ from around the world?

Really?

It's fascinating how wrong you've been...

You're now left to just reflexively complain about the money.

Fascinating...

Finland and Sweden have long be aligned with the west. The only thing he has to worry about is a military buildup (which he said he would respond to).

Ukraine was aligned with Russia until the west (US) starting interfering in the politics there and the democrats started using it as a money laundering operation for their corrupt activities.

Also, some locations are more strategic for war and defense than others.

That's 100% why he went after Crimea initially. Ukraine is more strategic.

Even a RINO like Mitt Romney made that point against Obama BEFORE the invasion.

Wow, did it end already? Has Russia withdrawn?

Has the media been so busy trying to blame Tucker for the Buffalo shooting that they missed it?

Ooh boy is there a lot wrong in this post.

Unsurprising though you've been a Russian sympathizer for years on this forum.

No, but eventually they will.

Low-key though you're probably hoping they win now. Not because you believe in anything... just because you want me to be wrong.

I'm old enough to remember when you sympathetic to the Ukrainian people in this thread though.

Oh no you don't... not in this thread... I told you I was done.
I believe in free speech and a return to pre-"1984" / McCarthy-era witch hunts.

That's what I believe in most these days.

And I'm still VERY sympathetic to the Ukrainian people. They didn't deserve to get royally FUCKED because an obvious public declaration by NATO that wouldn't have cost the US ANYTHING, couldn't be delivered to try and stave off this invasion.

You're the one who is all GUNG-HO to see Russian tanks get blown up, no matter the cost to the UKRAINIAN PEOPLE.

Imagine if the invasion could have been avoided altogether with a simple declaration that Ukraine would never be a part of NATO. I know you think this wouldn't have mattered to Putin, but they didn't even try. Then they (NATO) tell Zelensky that hey, btw, you're never going to be in NATO...AFTER the invasion...LMAO
