Ya can you imagine that the US investing $300 million into Ukraines Western border security to keep Ukrainians INSIDE the country while the US still. Has minimal security protecting the southern border as millions of people from all over the world enter the US WITH A GOOD chunk of them being gotaways?
How does that make any sense?

$300 million from our pockets to Ukraine border patrol, to (in part) keep young men from escaping the meat grinder by going over the border into Poland.

Ukrainian soldiers are defending Ukraine's and all of Europe's “democracy” by burying a man alive because he refused to fight in this proxy war.

. Americans and Canadians who are the same people but two different countries..
And therefore a war between them would not be a civil war.
And neither is a war between Ukraine and Russia.

Not sure exactly what’s going on here but it doesn’t look good.

I too believe everything posted.
In reality it is a civil war.
It's good when we are reminded who they are and how wrong this war is.

No matter how often you repeat this obvious lie, it will not stop being a lie. Words have meanings. Ukraine is not the same nation as Russia like you're not a monkey although humans and monkeys have a lot in common. Still I assume you'd prefer to be referred to as a human, not as your monkey brother or sister.
As I'm not a native speaker of English, I can't really tell a difference between Americans and English. So if theoretically the US attacked the UK, that would be a civil war too? Your point is as absurd as that.

The nations who were at some point under the Russian rule know that Russia conquers other peoples by force. Nobody wants to be the part of the Russian empire out of "brotherly love". Others speak from the position of ignorance.

IRAQ WAR 1 was justified. Afghanistan would had been fine IF we didnt try to regime build. Iraq is a self sustaining Gov now though so theres a partial win.

All of them disasters.
History has been written and cannot be written again.
Iraq destroyed
Afghanistan back in the hands of the Taliban and everywhere else it hasn't been a great success. Do you remember Vietnam or Korea or you are too young?

It means why post something stupid just so people can say OMFG they are burying people alive? How about I make a 15-second clip that shows someone sitting on the ground and then I light a match so we can say OMFG they are burning people alive! geez
I'm starting to think you are a bot, you keep saying the same lines over and over. You want the war to stop so maybe go tell Russia to stop, it's that simple.
You haven't followed my posts I am afraid.
I am not arguing for the continuation of the war but the opposite and neither I admire Putin for the invasion of Ukraine. But given the facts the best possible scenario is for the war to stop straight away. There is nothing to gain further and on the top of this only some western 'elements' want to use it as a proxy war against Russia pretending they care about the people of Ukraine.

This is a cross border war being conducted where people actually have their homes and families, not some Middle Eastern country half way around the planet that the US and the other Western Powers fight with little impact to their own society.
The poster isn’t correct that this is a civil war but nasty things are done when it close to home.

What bot?
You have to see how you are repeating yourself when you argue the war must continue when you completely disregard the human cost. As I told you it's not your kids or grandkids who will fight and die.
Perhaps you need to pay more attention to the clip I posted and the way young Ukrainians are treated who had enough and don't want to be sent to their deaths in the fight against Russia. On the other side you would expect similar tactics.
I didn't know I had to deviate from my very reasonable position to argue the most unlikely scenarios. Most people will agree with me.

I'm not saying either way... I'm saying the power is in Putin's hands to end it, period.

I really...really...really don't care so say it 100 times more. There are 45 million in that country and your post is 1000s do not want to fight to save Ukraine, that is their choice they need to live with, as I said before. I also said you are talking about .0009% of the population and want to make it some main point. I also said there were close to 600,000 Americans that dodged the draft, so back to you...what is your damn point.

I guess you made your point 10 times over, got anything else?
