How can the U.S. provide security guarantees to Ukraine when it is currently unable to stop Russia from attacking Ukraine?

@swirlie Sorry but it is about capabilities not backbone.

The US lost every fight since 1945 except Grenada.

The US and NATO just proved itself to be a paper tiger.

@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow
...however, the USA has lost every war it ever started in the last 113 years.

@swirlie Much of the world seem to forgive or conveniently forget the war crimes and atrocities committed by the USA

@Jokersswild Yep. The only person who went to jail for the US torture scandal was the whistleblower.

@swirlie


Hmmm :) Were you asleep when the Berlin Wall came down? All without even a low yield nuclear weapon being dropped. And where were you when the Warsaw Pact and Soviet Union were dissolved? Likewise without even a low yield nuclear weapon being dropped.

This brings up old, fond memories of my days as a fighter in the Cold War. I was a regular on the old Berlin Corridors.

@Heartlander
The USA delivered nothing but political rhetoric from the mouth of Reagan, which had nothing materially to do with the tearing down of the Berlin Wall. Sorry Heartlander, the USA can't take credit for that one either, but nice try!

And the wall came down :)

@Heartlander
..but Reagan had nothing to do with it coming down, it was already a done-deal before Reagan tried to take credit for it.

@swirlie wrong president. it was Bill Clinton who was our Rooster president who took credit for the sun rising.
