What % of American parents of 18-21 year olds would be willing to send their kids to Ukraine to fight Russia?

I would wager, easily less than 10%.

These people hate Russia more than they love the future for their own children and the rest of humanity. Biden and the rest of these Western leaders are too dumb and corrupt to realize just how dangerous this is... and a lot of the clowns in here are 110% down with letting nukes fly.

You really need to reexamine your position. I get you're entrenched and think you're right but it ought to be a red flag when @volgr is one of the two other people agreeing with you.

Did you expect anything different. One of our resident ruskies has already said it and claimed the US is a state sponsored terrorist.

Oh yes. It’s all part of the Russian propaganda mill. Pootin claims western terrorist attacks on Russian soil. Hey he hates to do it but he has no other choice but to respond to this “escalation” with nukes on Ukraine. I think you can pretty much book it.

Its about stopping the most direct line from Europe to the heart of Russia, Russia doesn't control the whole European land mass. Whether Finland is in NATO or not really doesn't change the fact that NATO could always have put troops there under agreement. The most direct path is straight through the Ukraine, otherwise it would take probably a year or more (probably multiple years) to ship everything up to Finland.

Technically the US is only 55 miles or so from Russia, but the point of entry is very remote... and less population to deploy tactical nuclear weapons. Hint, you're not going to see even the stupid American troops crossing the straits. Even the stupid American troops are smarter than that.

There just isn't many easy paths for large masses to easily and swiftly move into Russia as it stands from Western Europe.

I'm sure if it came down to it, Russia would deploy tactical nuclear on their own shores if they have to... but the further that warfare takes place, the better.

Why do you think JFK did his thing to Cuba? Its not really all that difficult to understand.

I don't blame the Ukrainian government for assigning a suicide bomber to conduct a specific mission. If the juice is worth the squeeze, suicide bombers can be beneficial to a war effort. Ukrainians and Russians have been dying every day, often accomplishing less than this suicide bomber.

What I think is lame, however, is how Americans applaud this suicide bomber and hail him as a hero when we've spent the past few decades whining our asses off about suicide bombers. Take the ones in Lebanon, for example. Whoever sent those two guys to attack the French and American bases had done their homework. They knew we were quitters. They lost one man attacking US forces and one man attacking French forces and completely knocked the USA and France out of the war. That saved a lot of their men's lives in the long run. But we shrieked and still shriek "Terrrrrrrrrists!" regarding that attack.

The same thing in Iraq. The US military obliterated the Iraqi national army with ease but couldn't cope with Islamic suicide bombers. Islamic suicide bombers were a decisive factor in Iraq and Afghanistan just as they were in Lebanon, with the American public screaming, "Terrrrrrrrrrrists!!!!!" the whole time with red faces, tears in our eyes, and veins popping out of our necks and foreheads.

But Americans are collectively cheering suicide bombers now. Quite a 180 degree change of heart. Same thing with the bombing of civilians. Killing kids by the bushel can be righteous with the purity of Baby Jesus himself, or evil and downright Satanic, depending on who is bombing whose kids. A lot of selective outrage, yet entirely predictable.

True, but they love seeing their sons come home in wheelchairs, needing to be spoonfed their meals just as much as we do. Russians and Americans never learn from each other's mistakes or even our own.

He was worried about nuclear weapons, there is no real definition for tactical nuclear weapons. If you go by the Treaties parties have signed since that time, I would suspect most of the missiles would not be covered i.e. short or medium missiles or bombs. He was worried about nuclear weapons and in today's world those would be probably classified as tactical nuclear weapons.

Tactical weapons in most of the nuclear treaties between parties has to do with long-range delivery.
