      I wish we didn’t need to do this but honestly this is some of the best spent military funds I’ve ever seen in my life. It’s all hardware, manufactured by the US. So that’s jobs. None of it is death payouts to American families like we had to do in Desert Storm. Russia richly deserves the fight. We’re getting a lot of help from other countries.

      I wish we didn’t need to do this but since we do, fine.

            And of course you’ve conveniently forgotten the million Iraqis you starved to death, and then the hundred thousand more you genocided.

              You said the US only liberates people if they are white, are you now recanting that statement given the liberation of Kuwait?

                Yeah? You’re just making shit up whole cloth now?

                Also “Remember that time we lied to the UN to commit genocide against Iraq!” Is not the convincing point you seem to think it is.

        Jesus Christ. Half a million dead for your stinking jobs. Shame on you.

          The loss of Russian life in this shit show is a tragedy but their blood is on Putin’s hands, not the West’s.

          ? Half a million dead in Russia’s war of conquest is….the US’ fault?

          What would Russia need to do in their war of conquest for the deaths to be on them, the invader actively pulling the trigger and killing people?

            Of course it’s the US’s fault! WTF?

            Nothing, this war is 100% America’s war.

              Is Russia not a sovereign country, do they not have the ability to make their own decisions? Or is Russia so weak they simply follow Uncle Sam wishes?

                Same question for all of America’s wars and invasions.

                This is their proxy war. Russia was being threatened with nukes on its doorstep.
