These aren't "their" people. Hth.thechatch said:Russia has been committing atrocities against its own people on a mass scale for thousands of years. It’s just how they do business in that part of the world.

You can be against American interventionism and still not make justifications for Russian atrocities. They aren't mutually exclusive.
I ain't got no quarrel with the Viet Cong.
Ukraine might be a cesspool of corruption but aren't the enemy.
I hope the Ukrainians bleed the Russians dry and don't mind the US military industrial complex selling them the weapons to do so. Or better selling weapons to Nato that has been sending their old Soviet kit to Ukraine.
This is like watching the viet cong kick the shit out of the Chinese in the 70's only better. -

Commie loons on one side, Nazi loons on the other. They hate each other. Always have and both have reasons they think are right. They'll be killing each other long after we're all dead.

Exactly. It's damned near as stupid as fucking around in the Middle East thinking century-old feuds are going to be solved by US military might and aid.Sledog said:Commie loons on one side, Nazi loons on the other.

They won't. GTFO out of both
Make the Western Hemisphere great and that's it.

Most of what we have been "giving" is kit that is past its use by date. Himars being one significant exception. It's cheaper to "give" much of it away than pay for disposal or continued storage.RaceBannon said:

Similarly, we? Are making a killing right now selling nato replacement hardware to allies while they "donate" their Soviet era kit. I can't stress what a massive win that is for the US. Selling 10 new F35's to replace a bunch of migs basically covers all the small arms donations. All while getting some of our lackluster allies(Germany cough) to finally pony up.
Then you get into the "field testing" aspect where things like himars or the new infantry rifle are getting tested in real combat without the fallout of American lives at stake.
We are also managing to completely decimate one of our primary geopolitical rivals military strength at a massive discount with little ancillary risk.
Want to talk about corruption? Sure, let's not write blank checks and have decent oversight. We could use a hell of a lot more of that in general... -
The guy in the White House did that and now some want him impeached for it. Super weird, amirite?PurpleThrobber said:

Trump gets all the credit. Cho Bai Den said we had to leave because of Trump's deal with the Taliban. You suck at this.MelloDawg said:
