You do know that the majority of those stories either mirror other news sites or provide links to news sites, right? If you question the validity of anything, they provide links and sources for the majority of it.

You sound ignorant and have no idea WTF you are talking about.

I seem to remember these goobers lapping up everything to do with this conflict on twitter, from the official Ukrainian accounts, etc. (Ghost of Kiev?) as if they're gospel...

You are following the same media that gave us Russiagate, COVID nonsense, and hid the Hunter laptop story. Their recent track record is terrible.

I don't need CNN to tell me what's happening, I can LITERRALY see Russia bombing and shelling Ukrainian cities.

Are you suggesting this is CGI?

And for the record, despite all of the things you mentioned - the western media is 1,000 x more reliable than the garbage that's being pumped out of Moscow.

You keep trying to turn a crack into the grand canyon and no one is biting.

India is another member of the Security Council right now and there are a few others that would possibly back Russia.

That list of countries behind India is growing by the day, so that even when India rotates out of the UNSC, there be others there to take its place.

You'll be dead or senile in 20 years when we have to deal with where those arms end up. Same as with what's going on in Saudi Arabia and Yemen. You're doing a great job irresponsibly celebrating conflict- your kids and their kids are going to really enjoy cleaning up the mess. Just like I've watched many in my generation have to deal with stupidity in Afghanistan.

The financial aspect is a part of it. You're too spineless to advocate for stopping spending anywhere. Why not in a country where there's nothing there to do with the average of us? Why not in places around the world where we send arms and tech and aid in fruitless efforts that always do more harm than good? Hundreds turn to thousands turn to millions and billions and we keep crapping down a toilet for people around the world while our own people suffer. And again, you're just spinelessly sitting there saying nothing can be done. A weak, weak "man".

All the meanwhile you "care for your kids" because you spend time bitching on the internet and writing angry school board letters or Facebook posts or whatever you muster the fatass energy to do over masks, about the laziest thing anyone could actually do. It's shameful. And you ought to be embarrassed. But you're not.

Who the F is celebrating conflict?

Spineless ? Thanks, keep yelling it. I am all for abolishing the DOE and many other federal departments. So try speaking some words that would show you actually know a effing idea of what you’re speaking about.

No need to be embarrassed yet, I’ve got fools like you taking the front lines on that.

Ireland is a member of the Security Council right now and a wildcard; they might vote opposite Britain just for spite. The African countries might do anything; but given history, I wouldn't bet against them siding with Russia.

Agyati?

Oh boy, abolish the DOE but send weapons everywhere around the world! Dump all that dough into useless defense contracts and corrupt half-allied nations! That'll do it! Nevermind that you can't even respond to how that's worked out so brilliantly for all of us here watching our friends (and now in my case, cousins) deployed and supporting senseless combat that has little to do with American defense- or if it does, made worse because ignoramuses like yourself want to arm one side that never turns those weapons back on us, no, never! Don't ever question the narrative, alright? Yee haw war!

You see, you can call me a fool all you like- but you're the shortsighted buffoon that, again, will be dead or senile before all this comes to bear. Your kids'll love you for it, let me tell you!

You go off on spending and then when I speak of places I approve of cutting spending, it isn’t the right kind for you. A prior post and I was supposedly not even willing to cut any spending. What is the next absurd claim by you. I expect it never ends.

Do you think American intervention just happened yesterday? If so, you’re stupid. If not, then why do you feel compelled to be outraged over your friends /relatives in our voluntary army? You do realize there are people that want to defend American interests without regard to philosophizing over the right or wrong of it. Again, we been doing this for decades and the voluntary military isn’t deplete of volunteers.

Too bad kids, we sent some weapons (already paid for) to Ukraine, now we’re broke. Lol.

Patrick Lancaster is actually out interviewing people who have been affected by the conflict and they are telling their story. But Hill, Fisher, Luther, Python and crew would have you believe other people are the problem because they aren't taking Joe Scarborough's word for it.

What an idiotic take.
So you claim interviewing people who have been affected by the conflict is good reporting?
Interesting.....I wonder why no one has ever thought of that before.

Because Biden is the head of state of another nuclear armed nation, who also happens to be the real power of NATO. When the POTUS says "this man cannot remain in power" in a major speech, it becomes the actual policy of the USofA and everyone in it to effect regime change in Russia to remove Putin as head of state. That is very very close to a declaration of war. In fact, one of the rationales that Bush gave for going into Iraq is that Saddam wanted to kill a FORMER president. Consider if Xi made this very statement about Biden, we would be considering it as a prelude to war. The intel services and military take this stuff as gospel from their CIC and then start making plans/steps to actualize it.

It was completely irresponsible to the point of stupidity. Yes, we all might WANT this to be the case, the USA could even be trying in multiple unspoken ways to make this happen but you do not say "cannot remain in power", without there being consequences.

Again, he didnt say, this man SHOULD not be in power in our modern age, nor even that the Russian people should kick him out of power. Instead, he signaled that it is now US policy to remove Putin via any means necessary. Again, this isn't some comedian on late-night television, some bloviating Senator Snort, or even the leader of some tiny backwater like Greenland or a spineless country like Canada - it was the United States, who effects regime change for breakfast and sh**s new "democracies" by lunchtime.

Hopes that helps shed light on things.

I'd even phrase this a little differently to say there are people who would support another country's or person's liberty because we supposedly believe in the opportunity for others to be free regardless of our interests. In many regards we could just have remained neutral to what happened in Europe during WW2, and decided whether to go to war with Japan or turn the other cheek. Personally I think we've gotten off track as a country in why and who we choose to defend and the justifications for it all. As mostly Tennesseans with the Volunteer heritage here in this forum, there should probably be greater appreciation in supporting the weak from the strong.

You're going to say "do you think American intervention just happened yesterday" when I posted historical American stupidity in the post you responded to? Now it's getting to silly season. You know what's funny? You are for the cutting off of some types of corrupt bureaucrats (here) while for the support of other types of corrupt bureaucrats (abroad) with the end result that people are going to suffer badly at the hands of our interventions and machinations and stupid wasteful spending and efforts around the world. I laugh because it is patently stupid to claim one cutting of spending is waste (the DOE) while another is good (funding a country who does nothing for the average United States citizen). What is that but waste? I theorize that you just like wanking to dead Russians, blood, and combat footage based on your horrifically immoral posts in this very thread.

"I don't approve of conflict, but I hope lots of people die and suffer as long as they're Russian", to loosely quote you.

Not only do you not at all care about the prices your kids and grandkids will be paying for this awful stance, you seem to be gearing yourself to raising bloodthirsty maniacs just like yourself all the while. No wonder this country is going to hell in a handbasket- you feels-based emotional fools are no better than virtue signaling liberals, kicking the can of responsibility down the road in weak, weak, weakness. The American right is nothing but dead weight.

Speaking of dead weight, remind me again who invaded Ukraine over imaginary reasons. I know that is hard for you and the other members of the Red Guard to accept.

This would make sense if supporting Ukraine was supporting freedom. Arms we're giving to them are going to the political establishment in that country that has banned opposition political parties and clamped down on media as if they're Putin Lite. Suddenly they get invaded and the narrative shifts?

I've said all along that the United States needs to stay out of it completely. Partially because this is an evil on evil, bad guy on bad guy fight, partially because the interests of Ukraine are damaging to our own (it profits directly, and greatly, by encouraging American corruption), partially because it's a total waste of American resources, and partially because even limited support will inevitably be used as a springboard for greater involvement. None of these things are false, and the price to pay is, as always, going to rest heavier on the average American than non-involvement would. That's not our burden to bear especially when we've just been whipped all over the place by a pandemic.

Buddy, you can't even put four coherent thoughts together. You don't even know my position. You may want to just walk away from this one and get back to planting rocks in yards.
