War in Ukraine

You’re only being pragmatic. You need to avoid entangling debt after all.

I see just fine. And I’m unmoved by your BS. Once guarantees are made then they need to be honored. Petition all you want to minimize our participation in entangling alliances. In fact I agree on that. But once guarantees are made then that’s binding.

Australia, Japan, Taiwan and South Korea have more of an interest and combined could be just as capable of handling that or any other situation in that region. There is no reason for us to be involved in any way. Your position is only going to enable these countries to rely more heavily on us instead of taking matters in their own hands.

Then we shouldn’t have given the guarantee. Thanks Carter.

Same for you guys. Because I dont buy the russian propaganda I must buy the western propaganda.

You're about to take a hit on this take.

Digging deep. I applaud the tenacity

Who is "we"?

Who is "we"?

The embryonic stages of a "government only applies to me if I voted for it" argument.

Thinking more along the lines of, if saddling future generations with debt was bad, what about saddling them with defense obligations?

 

[NorthDallas40]

Definitely not “you” Larry. You use the guiding principle of WWPD. What would Pootin do

The Boomer generation will go down as one of the worst in American history.

It happens and hindsight is 20/20... not that we were right or wrong in this case. Like I alluded to earlier, if we take out the debt, we pay it back.

Yep. We unleashed worthless ***** of our offspring on the world.

Gen X doesn't care what you think.You're not in charge of us anymore!

Well, thats unfortunate...

Are you scared that The United States of America inserted themselves into another lose/ lose war?

Don't even get me started on that. I had to shut down one of those Boomers last week that was complaing about "young people" today.

There you go with this "we" nonsense. Who is the "we"?

Here is the frustrating part about all of this... we could just as easily walk away from all of this and unwind it at no cost other than a little bruised ego. It would cost us nothing. Let the Europeans deal with Ukraine.

Well, thats unfortunate...

Also along those lines... looks like a light bulb is beggining to turn on for some of these virtue signaling idealogs...

European Ban on Russian Energy Could Harm Global Economy, Yellen Says

“That would clearly raise global oil prices, it would have a damaging impact on Europe and other parts of the world, and counterintuitively it could actually have very little negative impact on Russia because although Russia might export less, its price for its exports would go up,” she said.

Watching Russia beat Ukraine’s fist with their face thus far sure I’m down with giving them toys to help with that.

France just re-elected Macron. Germany is contemplating going into debt to help finance Ukraine.
I dont see a light bulb moment for Europe. They are an unserious and frivolous people. To hell with them.
