All the Ukraine supporters on sw, would you still respect zelensky if he was a neighbour or a friend who would ask for money all the time in place of

Taking care of himself?

If we were in that war of course!

The circumstances dictate the responses.

Now answer this, if we all were at war would you not help your neighbor? 🤷🏻‍♂

Or are we all that selfish that we refuse to help our neighbors?

If you believe in that so called holy book, read it for the answer!

Mark 12:31
Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.

FYI I have Three different neighbors that use at least twice the amount of electricity that I do! The bill is divided four ways.

So I'm always paying at least twice as much for electricity! I have yet to say anything to them.

The circumstances dictate the responses!

If he was fighting a battle with his people so that I wouldn’t have to intervene personally then that is an easy yes. People forget how bad the USSR was and how much we spent in fighting them. They are currently thinking of SDI 2.0 if you want to know where all the cuts in Medicare will be going.

Pretty dumb question I think. It's more that would you support him if he was being bullied by somebody who is an existential threat to you. Someone who if he manages to get away with bullying Zelensky will move on to someone closer to you, and do the same again until he's a far more powerful threat to you.
And I'd be happy if most of the help I gave was kit I had lying around unused that alternatively I'd have to pay to have it scrapped. I could also pretend I was being amazingly helpful by using it's depreciating value on the books rather than admitting its real value to me which is pretty much zero.

@22Michelle Exactly! Of course, Michelle, there are those who, having gained his trust, would suddenly stop helping him, profit from his sudden misfortune by demanding he hand over his family's silverware, and then form a friendship with the bully.

What words would you use to describe someone like that?

If that neighbour was defending me from a much worse aggressor, absolutely.

Ukraine is holding off one of the largest armies in the world, and all they want in return is some ammo. That’s a bargain.

I don't give money to beggars who can do work, but don't want to do the hard work. You should be willing to work hard to take care of yourself and for your own growth. Begging is the easiest job.

As it is written "Let him who will not work - not eat". There is an element of self reliance that goes into any relationship. Even in a marriage each partner must contribute. Freddie the Freeloader er I mean Zelensky is a puppet and is acting out his role while taking huge sums of money for himself.

@hippyjoe1955 Well I think you need professional help given your reliance on conspiracy theories, some of which it seems you dream up yourself. Just try living in the real world, do some checking, some research on these "theories" before you post. It's always sensible to be a healthy sceptic.

@22Michelle After you ma'am I insist. Twisted bitter ladies first.

@mysteryespresso russia has been invading the sovereign democracy of Ukraine for the past eleven years, murdering Ukraine's men, women, children, and babies.

Is that how russians express love for their neighbours?

Actually, looking at their history - it is!

@mysteryespresso
such an extremist point of view. What happened to love thy neighbour, live and let live?

Ask Jehovah =
Exodus 12:12 (TLB) = "For I will pass through the land of Egypt tonight and kill all the oldest sons and firstborn male animals in all the land of Egypt, and execute judgment upon all the gods of Egypt—for I am Jehovah."

Exodus 12:29 (TLB) ="And that night, at midnight, Jehovah killed all the firstborn sons in the land of Egypt, from Pharaoh’s oldest son to the oldest son of the captive in the dungeon; also all the firstborn of the cattle."

Numbers 31:17 (TLB) = "Now kill all the boys and all the women who have had sexual intercourse."

Deuteronomy 3:3 (TLB) = "So the Lord helped us fight against King Og and his people, and we killed them all."

Joshua 10:38-40 (TLB) "Then they turned back to Debir, 39 which they quickly captured with all of its outlying villages. And they killed everyone just as they had at Libnah.

40 So Joshua and his army conquered the whole country—the nations and kings of the hill country, the Negeb, the lowlands, and the mountain slopes. They destroyed everyone in the land, just as the Lord God of Israel had commanded,"

Joshua 11:14 (TLB) = "All the loot and cattle of the ravaged cities were taken by the Israelis for themselves, but they killed all the people."

1 Samuel 22:18-20 (TLB) =
"18 Then the king said to Doeg, “You do it.”

So Doeg turned on them and killed them, eighty-five priests in all, all wearing their priestly robes. 19 Then he went to Nob, the city of the priests, and killed the priests’ families—men, women, children, and babies, and also all the oxen, donkeys, and sheep. 20 Only Abiathar, one of the sons of Ahimelech, escaped and fled to David."

@Diotrephes Sadly for Ukraine and its supporters while it may have inflicted minor pain on Russia it has suffered great loss. The mighty US/NATO but I repeat myself has been shown to be a toothless tiger. All of its very very expensive weapons are duds. The US lost to the Hutis and is terrified of a war with Iran. About the only thing the US can do is try to economically force Canada into the Union.

How much did cold war with Soviets cost USA ? Better to Bankrupt Putin now , then spending money on wars next 25 years.

@hippyjoe1955 basically you talk to a person who can own sw at will, since you are here .. free membership 🥳
hippyjoe1955 · 70-79, M
@Khenpal1 Do you ever post anything intelligent on SW? I haven't seen any yet so just curious. Maybe I just find it hard to understand a McNamara fan.
Khenpal1 · M
@hippyjoe1955 just ask around , don't need to defend myself here

President Zelensky isn't 'taking care of himself'.

The role of a leader is to provide for, and protect, the people he is privileged to lead.

Your master putin doesn't understand this, because he isn't a leader

That buffoon trump doesn't understand this, because he isn't a leader

That's why President Zelensky is now the leader of the Free World.
He's only asking for gas money to torch his neighbors!
