    Bakhmut is a city of 70k that Russia has spent 9 months trying to take, and still hasnt fully taken.

    You knew that, right?
    So why did Ukraine send lots of men there to defend and become encircled and die?

    Again, this is where your understanding of history fails you.

    Putin did in fact ask William Jefferson Clinton for Russia to join NATO and was rebuffed.

    Considering NATO's charter was to be a defense alliance the former Soviet Union, the joining of NATO by Russia would render the necessity of that charter inherently moot.

    Chess, not checkers.

    https://www.theguardian.com/world/2021/nov/04/ex-nato-head-says-putin-wanted-to-join-alliance-early-on-in-his-rule

    "Vladimir Putin wanted Russia to join Nato but did not want his country to have to go through the usual application process and stand in line “with a lot of countries that don’t matter”, according to a former secretary general of the transatlantic alliance.

    George Robertson, a former Labour defence secretary who led Nato between 1999 and 2003, said Putin made it clear at their first meeting that he wanted Russia to be part of western Europe. “They wanted to be part of that secure, stable prosperous west that Russia was out of at the time,” he said."

    I'm pro American unlike PGOS so when I engage in whataboutism it's to make a point, not condemn America

    The US has a long standing no malarkey rule for the western hemisphere

    Grenada, where we called in Clint Eastwood, Nicaragua, El Salvador, Peru, and Chile among others have met the CIA when the Soviets meddle

    Cuba was lost and democrats started supporting the Sandinista and Venezuela commies which makes things more difficult

    Note that the democrats party has not been outlawed even though they support our enemies

    Nobody was easier on the Soviets than Teddy and the gang

    It all matters for a long walk to get perspective

    I am pro America

    My issue is what is the endgame? And what if Ukraine really starts kicking butt and Putin ratchets it up.... we don't want nukes, even tactical ones. Putin has fought this war without those... let's not provoke him.
    I was told US F22's could wipe Russia off the face of the earth.

    No way they'd press the nuke button as their country is obliterated. No way in hell. Right?

    But itSaul Goodman if Zelensky wants to call for tactical use of nuclear weapons.

    Putin Bad/Z Man good.

    No one asks Warren Buffet for his tax returns.

    Either the goal is peace with Russia or it's something else.

    So far its something else.

    Like the US military industrial complex has restrained itself in lobbing bombs into populated areas. Ka ching! on the reorders.

    For the record, I think NATO should've bent over backwards to let them in

    But at the same time, at some point paperwork has to be filled out. Every other country did it in short order, even Turkey

    Despite your best efforts Russia has no one to blame but itself, and if they wanted into NATO theyd be in NATO.

    Instead they want to invade their neighbors

    Military force to defend America is dangerous and needs to be thought through. It was just 4 Americans kidnapped today anyway.



    One of the tells of the global elite is that they are against anything that actually might help America. Useless endless wars are GOOD though

    Border wall BAD
