SureWe're planning to train them on how to use patriot missiles and other equipment in Germany. Does that ruin your whine?

sickeningMore Russian military targets.
Good grief, once again, the people of Ukraine want to fight to protect what is theirs. Why can't you understand this. There is no point of no return for the West. Russia could go nuclear and that would be a point of no return for them but that is the flip side of your coin.It's not the troops, its the citizens. There is a point of no return for the West, what will we do at that point?
What I meant was the point of no return of sending troops. We cannot, and will not send money and weapons there for years and years, the voters will eventually get over it. Ukraine is being ground up right now, thats exactly whats happening. If Ukraine could stop it they would, they can't. Without US Troops they aren't capable of pushing Russia out, so do we send troops or just pull up ship? That day is comingGood grief, once again, the people of Ukraine want to fight to protect what is theirs. Why can't you understand this. There is no point of no return for the West.

Facts... my ass. We aren't sending Patriot missile batterys into a hot war with unexperienced operators. Besides, since you believe all that Ukraine tells you, they shot down something like 95% of the missiles that Russia launched at them today, whatever they have now is doing well...right?Facts, care to actually challenge them?
False, American troops will be nowhere near those batteries except for training purposes in other European countries. Where the hell did you come up with that?US troops will be manning or around the Patriot missile battery's, what do you think will happen when Russia strikes them and kills US troops, you can almost hear the call to arms now in DC. How long before we have "advisers" on the ground in Ukraine, if we don't already.
Ukraine is not faring well, if you think they shot down 27 of 30 missiles in Kyiv today I've got a bridge to sell you. They are being ground up by Russia, unfortunately. The citizens will suffer mightily this winter, how long before they start calling for their leaders heads? It's a terrible situation that we've fostered, and unnecessarily lengthened. The only way Ukraine wins is if we get involved with troops.
Every word of this is nonsense. Especially the last. I would ask who is making the calculation and what variables are being used but that would lead to accusations of being a Russian sympathizer. Better to be dragged into war by the heartstrings, I suppose.George Kennan, you mean the guy who was against the creation of NATO, against the Monroe Doctrine, against the idea of an independent West Germany, and called the threat of the Soviet Union “exaggerated”? 😆 K.
Shocking that an isolationist would like another isolationist.
You are right, the right thing to do is not a security strategy, but a moral calculation.
Neither. You act like Russia isn't losing incredible numbers of men and equipment. This is a battle of attrition and Russia can't afford to keep up.What I meant was the point of no return of sending troops. We cannot, and will not send money and weapons there for years and years, the voters will eventually get over it. Ukraine is being ground up right now, thats exactly whats happening.

Like advisors, right?False, American troops will be nowhere near those batteries except for training purposes in other European countries.
This is the crux and I doubt you get any response that makes sense.What I meant was the point of no return of sending troops.

Sure…you’re gut hook my man.False, American troops will be nowhere near those batteries except for training purposes in other European countries. Where the hell did you come up with that?
I want some of the stuff y’all are smoking.
They can’t? Can we? Are you willing to sink our economy over a Country that has no strategic interest other than to make DC elite rich?Neither. You act like Russia isn't losing incredible numbers of men and equipment. This is a battle of attrition and Russia can't afford to keep up.
We have similar politics but you’re completely wrong here. If you have information that U.S. troops are going to be in Ukraine overseeing Patriot batteries, feel free to share it.Sure…you’re gut hook my man.
If we do send Patriot missiles there will be US troops going with them.We have similar politics but you’re completely wrong here. If you have information that U.S. troops are going to be in Ukraine overseeing Patriot batteries, feel free to share it.
I do think I read an article that more troops would be in Ukraine. The reasoning being oversight that arms are going where they’re supposed to. Read into that what you will. The patriots will be a target. If American soldiers die as a result I have no idea what the response will be.We have similar politics but you’re completely wrong here. If you have information that U.S. troops are going to be in Ukraine overseeing Patriot batteries, feel free to share it.
Again, where did you come up with that?Sure…you’re gut hook my man.
You do realize we're talking about less than 10% of our defense budget, not to mention the high paying jobs these equipment deliveries creates. You act like this happens in a vacuum, it doesn't. We can afford this for a long, long time.They can’t? Can we? Are you willing to sink our economy over a Country that has no strategic interest other than to make DC elite rich?
No, you're applying your gerbil brain to the situation. We will train them in Germany. You can refute that if you're able, which you aren't.If we do send Patriot missiles there will be US troops going with them.
We already have some oversight in country checking on equipment stocks. That is 100% different than helping them in country in using the equipment.I do think I read an article that more troops would be in Ukraine. The reasoning being oversight that arms are going where they’re supposed to. Read into that what you will. The patriots will be a target. If American soldiers die as a result I have no idea what the response will be.
We are 30 trillion in debt and sinking rapidly. How can you possibly rationalize that this makes sense?You do realize we're talking about less than 10% of our defense budget, not to mention the high paying jobs these equipment deliveries creates. You act like this happens in a vacuum, it doesn't. We can afford this for a long, long time.
$31.5 trillion.... but who's counting?We are 30 trillion in debt and sinking rapidly. How can you possibly rationalize that this makes sense?
Assad had jews and christians in his country living freely. Isis doesn't agree with that at all. Got dayum you eat up any propaganda thrown at you. there is a reason governments use propaganda and you are case study #1. Isis was actively trying to overthrow Assad. Not sure why Assad would back an islamic group hell bent on removing him and installing an islamic goverment????Assad was not fighting ISIS. Once again you prove yourself to be totally ignorant.

Feel free to prove your assertion, hoss. (you can’t and won’t)Like advisors, right?
“The Patriots will be a target” means nothing. The mighty Russian army haven’t managed to knock out a single HIMAR yet. Nobody really fears their outlandish threats anymore except a few drama queens in this thread. They probably crawl under a desk when Kim Jong-Un launches a nuclear test.I do think I read an article that more troops would be in Ukraine.

Wrong, Kennan’s ideas and policy proposals are easy to find.Every word of this is nonsense. Especially the last. I would ask who is making the calculation and what variables are being used but that would lead to accusations of being a Russian sympathizer. Better to be dragged into war by the heartstrings, I suppose.
Yeah, because the Ukrainians have proven completely inept using complex defense systems, failing to wound or kill nearly 30 percent of the invaders to date.If we do send Patriot missiles there will be US troops going with them.
Uhhh, you mean stuff like international law should be respected and defended?Hmmm… maybe the calculation that a sovereign country shouldn’t be invaded by a hostile imperial neighbor and have their culture wiped out. Is that too hard to understand?
Truth of the matter is that US troops will have to initially man those battery’s while training ukraine on their use. This is universally known information and why the biden admin has been reluctant to send them. It takes 90 troops to operate one battery.False, American troops will be nowhere near those batteries except for training purposes in other European countries. Where the hell did you come up with that?
I want some of the stuff y’all are smoking.
More hitler tired ass analogies. Find someone else to dig up. And the international law stuff lol. Ukraine has broke international law over and over in the build up to this latest war your only focus is on Russia. Where is condemnation for Ukraine? The reason there never was is because Ukraine is a pawn to NATO to conduct a proxy war against Russia. You clowns act like just one day Russia decided to go after Ukraine. That’s the biggest lie well it’s up there with bush Iraq war lies but one of the biggest lies out of our govt and media this centuryUhhh, you mean stuff like international law should be respected and defended?
Hell, we shoudda’ had some of that notion in the 20th Century: Hitker could have been defeated and the Commies rolled back to Moscow with that attitude!
Yes, this is very close to what I meant.Of course they won't stop. Jack is a capitulator. So long as he has a comfy home, cold beer and a nice car along with TV and internet, he really couldn't care less what happens to eastern Europe or anywhere else for that matter.
Why can't they learn in Germany?Truth of the matter is that US troops will have to initially man those battery’s while training ukraine on their use. This is universally known information and why the biden admin has been reluctant to send them. It takes 90 troops to operate one battery.
This is an incorrect assumption and leads directly to your other statements. With proper equipment, they can and will run Russia out of Ukraine.Without US Troops they aren't capable of pushing Russia out
No they won’t, Russia considers those 4 areas now part of Russia. Without US troops and air support they will not push them out.This is an incorrect assumption and leads directly to your other statements. With proper equipment, they can and will run Russia out of Ukraine.

Lol, watch and see.No they won’t, Russia considers those 4 areas now part of Russia. Without US troops and air support they will not push them out.
Profit for whom?---
War for profit, well that's a really sad state of affairs.
Northup Grumman is up around 50% on the year. Lockheed Martin is only up 40% on the year. General Dynamics is up 27%. Raytheon is up 20%. Boeing is actually down because their civilian plane sales are dragging down the massive increase in drone sales.Profit for whom?
