@therevjoeblank@KyivIndependent As opposed to the widely accepted philosophy of Alexander Dugin in Russia? And you are aware that Putin has an ICC arrest warrant on him for the mass kidnapping of perhaps 20,000 Ukrainian children? Exhibit A being a screenshot of the Kremlin website BRAGGING about doing it?
@therevjoeblank@KyivIndependent When you think about Ukraine, is it as an abstract concept? Or is it millions of people not much different than you and I who woke up to find their town destroyed because a neighboring country was afraid they'd join the EU?
@Oilfield_Rando What year was that? If it was during the Biden Administration, then yes...this was an FBI "COINTELPRO" false flag operation. Same kind of garbage they did to the old threats to the status quo starting back in the 50s.
@therevjoeblank@KyivIndependent Ukraine elected a political outsider. An entertainer. Not a careerist. As a reformer to finally start draining the corrupt swamp of Ukrainian politics.
Does that remind you of anyone we know?
@therevjoeblank@KyivIndependent I get that many fellow Trump people had no love for Ukraine because it put all its eggs in the Democrat basket back during Obama. Can you blame Ukraine? The GOP looked like it was going to be a permanent minority, with every election stolen. That's certainly how I felt then.
@therevjoeblank@KyivIndependent You assessed Ukraine as an "enemy" of the USA. What are their global ambitions? How many times have their bombers tested our airspace? Their subs prowled our coasts? Russia has done exactly that for decades. Yet you assess Ukraine as an adversary?
@therevjoeblank@KyivIndependent Yes, actually, we did have an agreement with Ukraine. We gave them security assurances in return for getting rid of their legacy Soviet nuclear warheads. The ONLY reason this war even started is because Ukraine no longer had a nuclear deterrence.
@therevjoeblank@KyivIndependent They wanted in our good graces!? How horrifying! You didn't just assume because Democrats supported Ukraine, the logical thing to do was hope Ukraine gets crushed, did you? Because that is asinine.
@therevjoeblank@KyivIndependent You do know that Ukraine sent a brigade to Iraq to support us (I was there), right? They sent more troops than most of our NATO allies. Ukraine was also key in logistical support to Afghanistan. Air transport. There are Americans ALIVE today because of Ukraine.
@infantrydort Pershing, being offered the use of the French Chauchat light machinegun, learned that Browning was pursuing a similar weapon (the BAR). Having learned that, his response was, "We'll wait for Browning."
@Izengabe_ The weird thing is the few Iranians who are in NYC probably have no love of that regime or that flag. But of course, those aren't "the right kind of Iranians".
