I guess, when you can't hit legitimate military targets, you go after civilians. Isn't that right, Zelenskiy?

Growing up in a Republic was nice... Shame we couldn't keep it.

Indeed. If MSN ever publishes the truth, it's by accident. That's why I don't even bother reading it.

I had a funny thought this AM while I was waking up:

If you want to see how much Americans support Ukraine, try selling shares of it on Amazon. Yanno "Buy a share of Ukraine's war effort for $150" (which is so far the per-person cost of our aid to Ukraine).

In that context people would ask themselves... "I spend $150 and what do I get for it, compared to, say, other things I could spend $150 on Amazon?"

Some people would probably answer..."Well, I help preserve democracy in Europe" or "I help fight Russia", and they would plunk down $. But some (many?) would think ..."Well, nothing".

Nobody had a fundraiser for H-bombs, but the US spent more than $10 trillion on nukes and it is all thanks to Russia endlessly threatening to nuke the US. It is time to pay Russia back by way of Ukraine.

WHAT are we waiting for, THUGR? Something is missing! This time you got a deadline but not an event.
Epic fail.

Yeah, AFTER we flattened two cities with nuclear bombs.

Yanno, none of the conventional explanations excuses for our first use of nukes make sense to me. Japan was ready to surrender. It didn't "shorten the war". The only explanation that matches the magnitude of our war crime was basically a warning shot across Russia's bow, since they were storming across Siberia and China, ready to take Japan.

So we used Hiroshima and Nagasaki as examples of what we prepared to do to Russians, and the reason why we used two bombs was to make clear to the Russians that we had more than one
IMHO that was just one of our MANY war crimes, and the start of the nuclear arms race.
I don't post this for you SECOND, bc you're just a sociopath looking for a target to hate. I'm just correcting your revisionist history for the lurkers here.

How many cities did the US fire bomb? Hundreds more than Hiroshima and Nagasaki, but how many articles claim those hundreds of other cities were war crimes? The point is that Russian politicians officially threatened to nuke the US during ten thousand different announcements and those threats have cost the US at least ten trillion dollars. Now is the time for Ukraine to make Russia pay for scaring Republican voters with Russian nukes.

If fire bombing is such a Big Deal, why do you keep harping on nukes? So shut up about nukes, already!

Once again, you mess up your own argument. Another epic fail from a sociopath who can't even keep his lines of hate straight.

Signym, Russian politicians have made ten thousand official announcements threatening to destroy the US. Perhaps those politicians were thinking it is all a friendly joke, but that joke cost the US ten trillion dollars to build a system of Mutually Assured Destruction. The US doesn't have a sense of humor. A famous example was Khrushchev saying "We Will Bury You." Ha-ha, funny man, but the US did not understand the intended message was that the USSR would outlast and out-perform the US. It looked just like another death threat from the lips of a Russian politician to the ears of US Republican voters.

Ukraine knows for sure that Russia delivers death by directly killing millions of Ukrainians during Holodomor. Maybe the US did not misinterpret Khrushchev's "We Will Bury You."

Seriously dood, stop harping about Russian nukes. They're not the ones who started this whole shit show, they're not the ones who put nukes on our borders, and they're not the ones who backed out of every agreement. Whatever happens, we're just reaping what we sowed.
