Why I, as a populist, changed my mind on the Ukraine.

I have Ukraine flag fatigue. The flag is about as repulsive to me as the masks, but I understand our need to be there, and it’s not for the Ukrainian’s. At least not primarily. Otherwise, why not help Yemen?
We need this war to deplete the Russian military while sharpening our saw (weapons). The result will be a less robust Russian-Chinese alliance. You think it’s bad now? Imagine getting knocked to second place. The global village is a Godforsaken Jungle where might makes right.
I’d have so much more respect if Desantis, Trump, or Vivek would say the quiet part out loud stop pissing down our legs and telling us it’s raining.
It’s not a gentleman’s game. If we don’t keep our alpha status, we will feel it in our pocket book, safety, etc.

You go fight on their front lines then.

You should go over there and fight for your principles.

Problem is, we are sending old shite. We aren’t testing anything worth a damn.
I almost bought in to that narrative as well. That’s the new gimmick to keep us in line.
We are going to find out how good our advanced tech is with Taiwan.
And we aren’t depleting anything but Soviet era tanks helicopters and planes. Bc that’s all they are using. On purpose.

This war is not depleting the Russian military. When Ukraine falls, the Russians will have the weapons that Brandon sent.

We shouldn’t have a dog in this fight unless Congress declares war. There’s a reason the constitution requires the legislature to do it, because it’s a big deal.
You’re right. It’s not a gentleman’s game. Right now it’s a conman’s game, and too many people are falling for it.

I’m supporting you on one specific point, and it doesn’t even get into the substance of the matter.
I applaud your willingness to change your mind and the willingness to be open and unapologetic about it. That’s the sign of a mature critical thinker. Hear hear.

I did too once I fully understood the matter. We tried to frame it as a battle of ideas (De-Nazification, corruption, biolabs, etc.). This war is nothing more than a battle of geography and strategic blocking positions. Unfortunately, two of those blocking positions are in the yards of our allies (Poland and Romania). I give precisely zero fricks about that corrupt shithole Ukraine. I just don't want us in a shooting war with Russia over NATO allies. If we can stop the Russian advance with some donated tanks and Ukrainian bodies, I'm fine with that.

I always wondered what do we gain by depleting the Russian military.
I always wondered what do we gain by being in Afghanistan.
I always wondered what do we gain by beating the shite out of the Iraqi military.

Yeah go frick yourself you neocon prick. You’re no populist.
It’s this stupid Ukraine policy that’s driving the Russia China alliance in the first place.
We’re wasting money and people’s lives, making the world a more dangerous place, and doing massive long term damage to ourselves.

This is a war that WE created.
We wanted this. If that causes you hurt, then you're probably still a functional human being. Because this shite was not inevitable. It was chosen by us, for them.
We're the bad guys here.

frick Ukraine. The war is only depleting OUR military. We would be fricked right now if we had to actually go into a real war.

Well we could have tried being friendly with Russia. shite they offered us airspace after 911 but dumbfrick W decided to ignore the olive branch and put missiles in Poland (not sure which country). Everything was quiet and fine up until the DNC leak and Russia Russia Russia from Hillary.
