Ukraine..ahh...

[dryheat]

Here we go. I hope this is all just for fun. We just sent 200 million worth of armament. Next it'll be a billion. Why? We just got out of Ass-stan two weeks ago.

It's a family feud.
Ukraine: you stole Crimea
Russia: it was just a little toe (not like Russia doesn't have any seashore).
Ukraine: it was our favorite toe.

Never get involved in a family despute. But we don't have anything to do evidently, so we stick our noises in.

Putin wants you to think that way.

Remember Napoleon's XVIth maxim.

Now I have to look that up

That 200M could feed a lot of Aphgans or buy me a nice house. It could buy ten of us a pretty nice house. Heck, every time one of those F-16's flies off the carrier it's probably ten grand. Of course that's not the point. I hope this is just play. But I'm nearly always wrong. I could be wrong about this.

Uh,huh. Can you say Maginot line? Yup, looked it up. Didn't study it. A wall un-defended is alone -Me. What did we learn Dorothy? Walls don't work. Sorry Donald. What does work? No grade here.
Red Dawn; Does Russia sway hearts by attacking? So, they get Ukraine, then what do they do with it? This is why I don't like Europe.

If we're not an international player, then all the stuff we need to sustain our standard of living nice and cushy will get diverted to countries with more moxie. Can't have that can we?

I wonder can conservatives and liberals stop their pissing match and focus on external threats like in the Good Old Days?

F16's are not carrier based,



and France is a bit PO'ed cause Putin's saber rattling (as in who is bigger) is directed to the US and is ignoring the rest of Europe

[dryheat]

I guess those would be F-18's.

Ruskies are to busy cutting fire wood by hand to keep warm to start a fight , and how many cans of ether does it take to start a ruskie tank .
