Weird transformation. You were the guy who said you would NEVER vote for Trump or any Democrat because they are all corrupt and incompetent; they are all the same thing.
I may be wrong, but I don't recall
@sneakypete every saying that. I think you have him confused with someone else.
And now suddenly you seem to be a RAH-RAH-CIS-BOOM-BAH cheerleader on the side of Ukraine, and the Democrat looting of the U.S. Treasury.
This is a logical fallacy. The two do not go hand in hand but are independent of each other. It is entirely possible to support Ukraine while at the same time vehemently opposing the spending excesses of the US Congress, which incidentally have nothing to do with equipping Ukraine with the arms needed to push Russia out of their country.
I do not say this is wrong or right. It is just surprising to me that you would take such a hard stance on promoting a war and America's involvement in it?
Same logical fallacy. Keep in mind that the only side promoting war here is Russia. Our role has been to come to the aid of a country wrongly attacked - both morally and politically. As for American involvement, while there have been numerous posters here (myself included) calling for arms shipments to Ukraine, there is not a single poster here who has advocated for US troops to engage Russian or pro-Russian forces.
As a reminder, Ukraine is not asking for $
33 40 billion in aid. They are asking for the weapons needed to defeat Russia. If we had jumped on this early, half of Russia's entire armored force would be rusting away on the roads between Kyiv and Belarus. Instead, Russia was allowed to withdraw those forces and redeploy them into Luhansk, Donetsk, and Kherson.
