This new Liberal warhawk movement cracks me up

It's almost like Iraq was a war you've actively engaged over bullsh*t reasons. Russia/Ukraine is a war initiated by Russia for analogous bullsh*t reasons and in which we're at most propping up the defender, without actively taking part to it. If anything, opposing both US against Iraq and Russia against Ukraine is the most coherent position.

It's almost like those who were "totally not colluded with Russia" in spite of enormous heaps of coincidences, including but not limited to fretting to obstruct the only serious investigation on the matter (that didn't exclude anything) are upset by the fact daddy Putin soon enough won't be able to fund their future political campaigns.

Predatory wars of aggression must not be tolerated.

You, and Putin, seem to be forgetting a three-way treaty known as the [i]1994 Budapest Memorandum.[/i]

There's a three-way treaty known as the [i]1994 Budapest Memorandum.[/i]

Essentially, Ukraine agreed to give up all its nuclear weapons to Russia in exchange for safety from a U.S. or Russian invasion. Russia's invasion of Ukraine violates that treaty. And as a signatory to that 1994 Budapest Memorandum, the U.S. has a definite interest in righting Putin's current wrongs.

[quote]In the final version of the deal, Russia promised not to attack Ukraine. While the U.S. and the U.K. assured Ukraine they would aid if it was attacked by Russia, that promised aid did not guarantee military support like a NATO country would receive.

In 2009, Russia and the U.S. announced that the assurances in the Budapest Memorandum would continue to remain in effect in the future.

Russia promised [i]specifically[/i] NOT to invade Ukraine, and the U.S. promised [i]specifically[/i] to ASSIST Ukraine if the treaty were ever violated. And that's what the U.S. is doing now.

What are you talking about [b]now[/b] ? Most on both sides supported going into Iraq [b]initially[/b]; it was right after 9/11 and people were willing to believe the [b]lie[/b] the GOP sold about "weapons of mass destruction". That turned out to be false, and even most Republicans recognize that now.
But if you’re referring to the efforts to assist the Ukraine, they [b]were[/b] attacked by the Russians. You can ask some of members who [b]live there[/b] and are dealing with the fallout now.
But what’s mindblowing to [b]me[/b] is how the Republicans suddenly love Russia. Ronald Reagan must be turning in his grave. 😳

There were plenty of Democrat hawks during the Vietnam war as well.

They go with what ever their tv tells them to on the day..

Bush- war - bad
Obama-drone striking kids hospitals- good

Same freaking ppl

America/nato invading countries for 40 years on media lies-good.
Putin invades Russia- bad

Same freaking ppl

Damn, I miss the good ole days of republicans being the warmongers and democrats being the party of peace and love. LOL

Americans can barely remember what happened last month, you really expect them to remember 20 years ago?

I certainly don't disagree with you, and have found it both amusing and unsettling to see left wing Liberals foaming at the mouth calling for Russian "orc" blood and calling anyone who opposes the Ukraine war Russian indoctrinates.

Putin is W in this situation.
