Your opinion on supporting Ukraine?

@CactusJackManson
USA =NATO’s muscle
NATO = global aspirations

@TheOneyouwerewarnedabout Indeed.

@CactusJackManson isolationism also didn’t work when we were pulled into World War II. I don’t think there is a perfect answer. But I don’t see us retracting ourselves to our borders because the world is changed.

@CactusJackManson My intellect will run circles around you. Go play somewhere else if you can’t make a point without an insult. I was asking a legitimate question. I respect opinions.

@Coldplay If you think it's a good idea to go to war with Russia, you have no intellect.

@CactusJackManson where did I once say it’s a good idea to go to war with Russia?? I despise war.

@Coldplay Reread your post.

@CactusJackManson no. I know what I said. What does “I despise war” mean?

@Coldplay Nice try, That's not in your post. You said that trying to dig yourself out of your other comments. BTW, people who brag about their intellect are 115ers at best.

@CactusJackManson The US is not involved in the conflict. There are no US personnel fighting in Ukraine.

@Adeptlinguist We have sent roughly $100BILLION USD to Ukraine in "aid" and weapons, we are involved, plus there is proof that there are US operatives in Ukraine fighting with them clandestine. You have to stop watching and reading the establushment press, they are lying to you.

@NativePortlander1970 Where do you get your figure of $100 billion from? The largest number I can find is around $77 billion, a substantial part of which is made up of drawdowns of equipment stock, not new expenditure. Europe has sent around $58 billion.

Unfortunately, Russia is behaving aggressively, with a declared aim to go beyond Ukraine. I believe that our Western liberal democratic way of life is worth defending, and must be defended against unprovoked aggression. Just because the US is on the other side of an ocean does not mean that US and Western/Central European interests are not closely aligned.

"Establushment press" is far from my only source of information - perhaps you should stop making assumptions?

@Adeptlinguist Ever hear of stubby thumbs and small smartphone keyboards oh sinless nitwit, hmmm?

@NativePortlander1970 It is possible to read before pressing Post Comment you know!

@Adeptlinguist Even proofreaders miss typos, genius 🙄🤦‍♀️

@NativePortlander1970 So sarcasm aside, do you have a substantive response to my points?

@Adeptlinguist Read the link, Poindexter.

@Adeptlinguist you are wasting your time. When they start calling names they’ve run out of objectivity. You will not get a substantive reply.

@Adeptlinguist Not involved in the conflict? How do the billions of dollars sent over there indicate "not involved"?

@CactusJackManson I could not agree more.

@Iwillwait Thank you.
