Simple question, WarDam - Is it acceptable for Russia to remove by invasion the government of Ukraine and install its own?
Simple "Yes" or "No" without Whataboutism of prior regime changes the USA has facilitated.
Your question insinuates this is simply an arbitrary invasion and nothing more. So on the surface, no. It's not acceptable.
Is it acceptable for President Zelensky to nationalize Ukraine's media to ensure there's only one message - his message - being relayed to Ukrainian citizens?
We've gone around in circles here with this topic. Some want to pinpoint "Russian aggression" and Putin's desire to restore the Old Soviet Union as his reason to go into Ukraine as the war's primary cuplrit and it's our duty as the world's moral authority to stop said invasion by sending every asset possible to Ukraine which doesn't have two feet.
The other very undeniable side of the story is that NATO has continued its adversarial approach towards Russia which included a continued push closer and closer to Russia's border. All culminating in an attempt to get Ukraine to join.
So the other question I pose to you Mr Hunter. If an alliance comprised of Russia, China and Iran were to continually isolate and attempt to debilitate the United States before announcing they were going to include Mexico into their inner circle as a means to continue promoting the interests of the alliance, would it be acceptable for the US to take action in Mexico to prevent such scenario from happening? If you wanted me to answer your question, you need to answer this one too.
One can recognize Putin is no saint while also recognizing that war is not ours to fight. We don't have the resources to give to Ukraine to begin with. WE ARE BROKE. We're now spending over $1Trillion annually just in interest expenses - with absolutely ZERO prospect of that number decreasing anytime soon. Continued debt explosion will only lead to more inflation which will only lead to more poverty here. That is a FAR greater threat to the well-being of this country than anything happening at the Ukraine-Russia border. Then there's our very own border crisis. How many Americans has Russia killed over the years? Slim to None? And how many Americans have been killed either directly by illegal aliens or the substances brought over from the border? Yep, no need to go all-hands-on-deck to solve these problems. We just need to see Putin fall on his face. That'll save this country!
