Belarus is stepping in as allies of Russia and will be sending troops immediately. Lukashenko is another Putin. As soon as NATO steps in it is going to be a real mess. I can't even imagine how it will play out but it won't be good. There are more actions than can be anticipated i.e. how far counter-measures, sanctions, cyber attacks, dissension , shortages will end up...
I'm thinking we care because if Putin takes Ukraine, then what??? Then he takes another, then another, then another, etc.... We care because with each and every country he takes-over, he is one step closer to the old USSR. (Not to mention we care because it's just not cool to sit back and watch a world power overtake a sovereign country just for kicks and grins....)still haven't seen an expiation of why we should care about this? how bout we just throw a dart at the list below and care just as much?

What is it like 1.5 million have invaded our country through the southern border in the last year.

Difference being one actually matters to the average Americans life. But dont worry, they’ve told us our sacrifice is worth it.

No , googling doesn'tYou can't?
Google Iraq, Libia, Syria,
Hey look though defense company stocks are up?
No, googling doesn't do chit. These conflicts are all different. You think the same players and motivations are cookie cutter endings ?You can't?

Ummm....... You're insinuating that I agree with whether we care or not. I was simply answering that other dude's question regarding why "we" should care. (I assumed he meant 'we', as in the U.S..) I didn't say that I agreed or not, and I also don't see the relevance in bringing-up the second time we invaded Iraq. That was Cheney/Bush reaching for straws of mass destruction.... Total cluster-F of a different flavor, IMO.Answer your own question.
If Russia takes Ukraine, then what?
He's tied up in guerilla warfare? He burns through his money keeping it.?
Was it cool when we rolled into Iraq the 2nd time? You know, a world power taking over a sovereign country for kicks and grind?
Over/under on how long until we start sending "advisors", for training only?
Wait no longer. One of my kids is a major in the USMC, so I guess in a way my "kids" are already signed-up to fight.Can't wait for you or your kids sign up to fight!
Yes, because he said we are so focused on Covid that we don't see how much better he has made America for us. ?Y'all worrying too much. Uncle Joe will figure this out. He has a plan. He will sit with Putin and Xi to negotiate. I trust Uncle Joe! Biden/Harris 2024!!

Umm.... You believe that Biden will actually "divert" BP agents?? Asking for volunteers to assist is a bit different than diverting, but OK..... Given that Fox and Newsmax (or any other news outlet that isn't extremely far right leaning) hasn't picked it up yet, I'm guessing the facts behind the so called memo didn't pass the sniff test."Biden to divert Border Patrol agents from U.S. border to aid Ukraine border" https://www.lawenforcementtoday.com...agents-from-u-s-border-to-aid-ukraine-border/
Same apples
Huh?The relevance?
FOLLOW THE MONEY.
Up until Brandon we could walk & chew gum at the same time. JPicket's 1.5 mil illegals is probably 1 mil+ short.... and counting, plus the getaways. A federal judge ruled that Brandon should return to the previous remain in Mexico policy has fallen on deaf ears. Importing those kinds of numbers & dispersing them in the dark of night at taxpayer expense is totally unsustainable. A nation of laws... laws that you choose to not enforce will be our nations demise, especially with unassimilated law breakers that don't share American values. Think those illegal immigrants pouring across our southern border will do like the Ukrainians & take up arms to protect their new country, if needed? Most don't even speak the language and have no allegiance to us, they just want their free chit and will vote for whoever gives it to them. It's all important and we should be able to defend our own once sovereign borders and offer our support elsewhere....where neededDomestically, it doesn't matter. Globally, it does. The US has the resources it needs to be just fine. Everyone else doesn't. If Russia were to regain its former Soviet "glory" and the EU breaks up, do you really think the US will just be left alone indefinitely?

What are they doing now? I guess getting good at booking flights inland for illegals. That’s something I guessThen what would the border patrol do?
They're both illegal. And how many non-English speaking people with no skills can we handle? 100 million? 200 million? A couple billion? There's lots of poor people in the world.Then what would the border patrol do?
When the mexican army brings tanks across, they’ll meet the Marines. Right now it’s mostly poor folks with a walmart sack and a jug of water.

The whole thing started by this administration and it’s propaganda wing aka mainstream media, talking about the sovereignty of boarders and our obligation to defend them.

I’m on the same page as you. We need to control our borders also. I have no doubt bad people are exploiting us. Hell, I saw them steal sections of our border fenceThey're both illegal.

Maybe if they were honest and said “elections coming up and a lot of our personal money comes from this Eastern European chit hole so we’re going to war” we wouldn’t be drawing the comparison or pointing out the complete domestic failure that leads to all the questions of shown. Why the F do we care about their border?
Probably because there all being flown to states where the lost the electoral voteI live a couple hours from the border. It rarely crosses my mind.
“I can’t see the difference” and your too dim to see the parallels of there excuse for getting involved.I don’t believe I’ve ever expressed satisfaction with the way things are being handled on our southern border, nor anything about the current administration. Pay attention![]()

Also, your comment about "we're going to war..."? Who is??? Because we (and basically any other western country with any brains) is imposing sanctions, that means we're "going to war"? Too funny, man.?

Once again, you should refrain from commenting on anyone else’s intelligence. I thought we covered that in one of the other threads that you showed your smarts in.
In your words. It isn’t cool so we should get involved. Let’s head to the Congo too(Not to mention we care because it's just not cool to sit back and watch a world power overtake a sovereign country just for kicks and grins....)
Wait, what??? What did I miss?? Did a world power overtake the DRC while I wasn't looking?? Do tell.....In your words. It isn’t cool so we should get involved

Like I thought. You care about what your told to care about. Again, a true independent thinker. Wonder what you’ll care about next? Bet I could watch don lemon for 20 minutes and know what you care about even before you do! Man, smart smart smartUmm..... I'm honestly having a hard time following your drivel at this point.

Yep, no doubt China has been doing their best to get their mitts on that valuable stuff.C-H-I-N-A
last I checked, they are a world power.
Oh, that's right, they are just bribing their way into that Kobalt and rate earth?
Yep, no doubt China has been doing their best to get their mitts on that valuable stuff.
To you're point though, they're waging their 'war' with bribes (and likely other nefarious means), as opposed to moving their army in to take over.Hence not a great example to hold-up regarding the debate on Ukraine.
Some of that sacrifice you’ve been told you think is worth itDiesel is now over 5 bucks per gallon , $5.05, as I filled my F250 super duty today. Cost was $199.00 and Biden refuses to allow more oil to be put in the market. This will cook his goose and the Democrats come mid term election time as it hurts from the very poor to the rich.

I saw a whole line of Russian vehicles lined up on a road waiting to advance into Ukraine. They would have been sitting ducks if Ukraine had a few planes.
I thought the same thing. They've been given a blueprint for modern warfare that's apparently very difficult to counter.Wondering if Ukrainian civilians have access to IDE materials and associated skills. They certainly worked in Iraq. Kind of surprised those troop trucks, and fuel tankers haven’t been introduced to that proven little gem.
I can dream, can't I?If They Did Have a Stronger Military!
PUTIN Would Throw Bigger FireWorks!

Nato wont step into this, if you think putin was bluffing about launching nukes your delusionalBelarus is stepping in as allies of Russia and will be sending troops immediately. Lukashenko is another Putin. As soon as NATO steps in it is going to be a real mess. I can't even imagine how it will play out but it won't be good. There are more actions than can be anticipated i.e. how far counter-measures, sanctions, cyber attacks, dissension , shortages will end up...

Meanwhile, Biden releases oil from the strategic petroleum reserve...
Dems will be hard pressed come November, but the question remains whether Biden can ever become less popular than Trump. Let us hope that both parties give up on their attempts to appease their fringes who have no respect for law and nominate candidates willing to represent an entire nation. Or, perhaps we will finally see a viable third party.
