I think with Ukraine we are being manipulated into WW3, where the carnage will be far worse than it is now. And I believe it is being done solely so that certain people can profit, but you don't want to acknowledge that possibility.Xeraphim1 wrote: Thu Jul 14, 2022 11:33 pmThis has been asked and answered already so I don't know what point you're trying to make. It certainly sounds, though I could be wrong, that you're yet another suggesting we leave Ukraine to be conquered by Russia because... whatever. You make no real reason so not support the country being brutally attacked by another other than to bring up historical atrocities that have no bearing in the current situation. If you could point to another situation where there was a country suffering invasion and the US et al. shrugged and did nothing your argument might have some bearing. But you don't do so and instead engage in a long line of logical fallacies apparently to suggest that Ukraine should be hung out to survive or not on its own.JDav wrote: Thu Jul 14, 2022 2:44 pm
Thank you. That was the original point I was trying to make - wars of conquest are as old as man himself, and they continue to this day. Why are we so intent on Ukraine when it is happening in dozens of places across the globe? How about if we let the Russia/Ukraine conflict play itself out and let bygones be bygones, rather than sending $65 billion so far and counting over there, with US Democrats demanding that the IMF send another 2/3 of a TRILLION dollars? What is so important to them over there? Inquiring minds want to know.
If the argument for getting involved in the war is that Putin is committing atrocious acts against the people of Ukraine, I just want to see a little consistency in the application of that reasoning throughout all the global conflicts, but I don't.
As to your comment about demonic human sacrifices, they continue to this day in this country. See the previous discussion on abortion. No point in rehashing it here.
I don't see this as much different that the Putin supporters who infect so many sites these days.
There are conflicts all over the world, internal and external. For most of them, we do nothing. China is constantly encroaching on/annexing land from other countries. We do nothing. Russia didn't invade Syria, but without its help Assad would have failed in his attempts at genocide. And they DID participate in that genocide. We did next to nothing. The Rohingya genocide? Nothing. Uighers? Nothing. Do those lives not matter because it wasn't an "external invasion"? We should either be all in or all out. The hypocrisy of our foreign policy screams of corruption.
If Russia is your issue, look at Syria (and Ukraine 8 years ago). If humanitarianism is your issue, look everywhere else. But you have a single-minded focus on Ukraine, now. I don't see this as much different than a) someone who is a Democrat party/George Soros shill, or b) someone who has a lot invested in defense stocks, and this is good for his portfolio.
