So... just sit back and hope the next country they invade is a NATO member? Got a plan B for when it isn't?
So you would like to march American troops into another fucking war? We have been at war over half my life, I’m done with it.
Give those boys all they need short of boots on ground.
If you don’t like my opinion, feel free to block me.✌️
Putin can end the war any minute. That's what I'd like. But he won't.
Failing that, enabling Ukraine to defend itself is the next best option. That's what I'd like. But republicans are doing their evil shit again and blocking that route.
All of the remaining options are shit. If you don't like what I'm proposing, dude I'm with you: I don't like it either. This whole situation is horrible, and it's shameful as fuck that we have politicians here in the US that are hell-bent on enabling Putin.
...but what's left to do? Throw our hands up and say "gg republicans, you outplayed us! Putin, Ukraine's all yours!"?
