I just heard the US should send vastly more weapons. Russia just declared themselves the enemy, the US must ensure the destruction of their ability to wage war.

Do you think this is a game?

[–] [email protected] 77 points 4 months ago

Of course not. Russia is killing hundreds of thousands of people and it is imperative their ability to continue is stopped.

Not giving aid to Ukraine when they needed it most was GOP playing a fucking game. US should have taken this seriously and intervened in Feb 22 when they knew this shit was going to happen weeks before Russia launched their stupid invasion.

Seriously.

Biden and the rest of NATO should have said something along these lines:

If you intend to proceed with your invasion of Ukraine, it will fail. If you send transports or helicopters to capture strategic objectives, they will be shot down. If you send ground forces across the border, they will be destroyed with prejudice. If you fire missiles into Ukraine, they will be destroyed, as will their launch platforms, where feasible. We did it to Iraq twice; we can do it to you.

We will restrict our actions to Ukrainian territorial boundaries at the outset, but be warned: any attack on NATO or allied assets outside of Ukraine will be met with immediate lethal response.

This is not a negotiation. This is a statement of policy going forward.

So fuckin tired of limpdick neoliberal geopolitical leadership.

So when will you enlist to go fight?

The point I’m making is that a strong response out of the gate would have made what’s now turning into a massive conflict a lot shorter and far less catastrophic.

Usa and the west have been helping ukraine for decades and sent them billions already.

The west have been working with russia and selling them weapons too in the past years. Rulers and politicians are indeed playing a fucking game which is called war, a game in which they act as the puppeteers and have fun sending peasants to die in the front over a bunch of invisible lines on the map

Thank god the only thing needed for this war to stop is Russia to stop waging war against Ukraine and fuck off back home, right?

Or is it everyone else’s fault Russia started a war?

[–] [email protected] 40 points 4 months ago

No, Russia is extremely dangerous and we should arm Ukraine to the teeth to give them the best possible chance of repelling the invasion. The US needs to ensure this war ends Russian military capability for the foreseeable future, in the interest of global security.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 4 months ago

Nah, let them eat permafrost.

[–] [email protected] 53 points 4 months ago

Wait, does this mean treason charges are back on the menu?

[–] [email protected] 38 points 4 months ago

I just wish Putin's hirelings in Congress felt the same way about Russia as the Kremlin does about the US.

The kremlin did that two decades ago. Everything spewed out of that cesspool has been hot, noxious air since then.
