Support a Soldier
 
1 Attachment(s)
Let's say I could easily acquire (Hypothetically) 10k Rounds of 5.56 from my reserve to send to Ukrainian soldiers to aid in the war on Ukraine. Then lets say 40% to 50% (334 Million) of Americans are in the same position and 1/2 want to help (167 Million) that would be one trillion six hundred and seventy billion rounds of aid from Americans. Now lets say we believe Russia and they have 300,000 active military (forced) in Ukraine. how could Americans get this done.

I'm not very good at math but i like the numbers....:yesnod:

Exactly. If I am acquiring ammo, I sure as hell ain't sending it to somebody else...especially some foreigners I don't know or have any interest in knowing.

You think additional small arms donations will let a clown corrupt comedian, who brought war to his country, defeat the land of 12 time zones. And then you assume ANYTHING sent over there will make it to their intended recipients instead of being sold off to the highest bidder or smuggled off to terrorists.
Adorable.

The Ukraine has already lost and never had a chance and is now a money laundering scheme for Blackrock. Good grief.

And before anybody calls me a Putin lover, I spent time in Army intelligence in Sinop Turkey spying on the Russians...

Right now, I'm more concerned about a PetSmart billing fkup I need to get fixed.

But for the US sending $ 400+B to Ukraine, the 'war' would have lasted a couple of weeks, maybe a month, ending in Russia taking the ethnic Russian areas to the east that have been suffering from guerilla warfare already, plus an agreement that Ukraine would NOT join NATO, and that would have been it. War's over. Tens of thousands of White people would still be alive, Ukraine wouldn't be a smoking wreck right now, and we wouldn't be expected to pay to rebuild Ukraine. Guess who's going to pay for that? If you guessed your great, great grandkids, you'd be right.

No, I'm not sending ONE cartridge to Ukraine, and I don't want one dollar of taxpayer money sent there either. Not our circus, not our monkeys. NATO was geared toward defending against the Soviet Union. There is no more Soviet Union, and Russia certainly isn't big or powerful enough to take over the world anymore. The actual threat is China. NATO could be retasked with that, and what we should have done was to become friends with Russia now that they've thrown off the yoke of communism.

White people are a minority world wide, we should probably stick together from now on.

Russia wants all of ukraine because of at least four reasons.

1. Deep water ports on the arctic ocean
2. Nuke capabilities (power generation)
3. Fossil Fuel production
4. Ukraine was the Soviet bread basket where most of their grain was farmed and they don't want to rely on imports.

You want to support a soldier? Give to the DAV. :yesnod:

Onebadcad 01-23-2024 12:34pm

I would not give the comedian and his wife another EFFING dollar.
he has been given more than enough, no one knows where it went or is, this is a money hole that keeps getting deeper.

Aerovette 01-23-2024 3:19pm

This was nothing more than an ad campaign to join NATO.

DJ_Critterus 01-23-2024 3:21pm

I'm not opposed to sending a few BoD's, though.

Better yet go to the nearest V.A and talk to some soldiers that will be missing parts of their bodies and minds. Vietnam or Iraq. A lot have given up hope.

I don’t need to watch YouTube videos to know war is hell and Putin is evil.

If you voted democrat you have to own it, just like I have to own Bush’s f’n war when I voted for that dumb shit. Carter made me a republican and Bush made me an independent.

The US should have assured Russia that Ukraine would not join NATO. Asshat Biden opened the door with his just take a little bit of land comment. Trump would not have made those weak minded strategic mistakes.

Your tax dollars are directly paying to create their suffering. This is why voting matters so much. If you want to end their suffering, vote out the politicians that are funding it, and replace them with people who will NOT fund their suffering.

And a few years from now, we've created a whole crop of young foreigners who will ALSO hate the US. This is not winning.

They already had Crimea....got it during the O6ama regime. No problem. They already had that sweet, sweet, deepwater submarine port. I doubt they need any more nukes......Hillary sold them all the raw materials they needed, and IIRC, the Trump rUsSiAn CuHlOoZiUn special counsel Mueller actually hand delivered samples of the merchandise before the sale was consumated.

As to the farmland, yeah, that's a definite strategic asset, but I'm sure Russia would have settled for just the eastern provinces populated by ethnic Russians, and a guarantee Ukraine wouldn't join NATO. They legitimately need a buffer between themselves and NATO....like Belarus is. I can also see the benefits to controlling Ukraine for present and future pipelines. As Germany and the rest of Europe are finding out, it's hard to maintain that first world lifestyle without natural gas, and Russia's got plenty.

Having said that, I bet fracking would yield plenty of natural gas in Europe, but they refuse to do it, rather, experiment with suicidal "green new deal" bullshit that has proven to be a failure there.

Trump said in a city hall that he would end that war in 24 hours in a public town hall and you could hear a pin drop. Everybody knew that he could ,and would, do it.

Except the Ukraine is a devastated wasteland now and I don't know how much of what you delineate is even extant at this time.
