The sad part about the Ukraine situation is that they're ontheir ow when it comes to fighting a Goliath that is Russia....weapons aide can only take them so far. I'm not sure if they have the numbers to hold their front....Russia isn't even throwing bodies at them anymore....they're just shelling targeted locations now and that's worst for civilians. They might need to give up land for this to be over....
Taliban we’re on their own as well and they won, there’s no excuse.

In this case we have to be content with sending aids. To my knowledge
our military personnel were sent to the UK to train Ukrainian soldiers. We
would not put our own boys in harms way by sending them to land on the
soil of Ukraine let alone the front line. The oppressive invaders may need
to be defeated but no Putin haters here would want to be conscripted and
sent to defend Ukraine like other dumb fuck vodka kommandos willingly
fight for Putin.
And the US spent the first part of WWII doing exactly what they're doing now until they were forced into a more direct role.

The U.S. was on one side pearl-harbored and on the other side
war was declared on it by Adolf Hitler (Dec 11 1941). Putin has
to be a lot more aggressive for the U.S. to be forced into direct
action. The U.S. could be as dumb as to have invaded Iraq and
Vietnam. This time around they don't need to fight the war to benefit
from it. I expect Russia will make nice with the U.S. after the war
while the EU and the UK will take a joy ride to economic collapse.
The U.S. stands to be rewarded big time.

The war is good - at least for the US politicians who are making shitloads of money in kickbacks from arms companies by sending arms aid to Ukraine. One of the main reasons Trump was removed was that he did not start a new war. No war, no money to be made for the politician.

Taliban 1.0 who fought the Russians were armed by the CIA. Those sidewinder missiles make scarp metal of the Russian helicopter gunships.

Ukrainian human shields like people shopping at the market hit today? Or are you suggesting that Ukraine should have evacuated all civilians from the country so Russia couldn't hit them?
I dont think Ukraine is going to use civilians as shield like the taliban....it's a country not a terrorist faction....

Right. Two years after Hitler (and Stalin's) invasion of Poland, two years where they supplied England with lend-lease weapons. Only difference now is that lend-lease on its own has been able to stop Russia and create reverses.

Taliban 3.0 was armed variously by Pakistan, Saudi Arabia and Iran. Much of Iran's support (other than the anti-US aspect) was by assisting the Taliban in moving drugs out of the country.

The Leapard Tank escalation shows the death wish of dumb and ignorant western leaders. They think they do not have to get their hands dirty in their aggressive proxy war.

The West will have to directly engage with Russia once the inter-continental nuclear missiles start flying.

The West cannot make Putin cry. He will go down with the ship ...along with the rest of our universe.

Add nuclear fallout to your contingency plans.

Mother Russia is a proud nation. She will not fold.


I have not felt this way since the late 60's. This is a real and scarey threat to mankind.
