You've told me on several occasions that there is no
real freedom.
On other occasions you've asked me which freedoms have I lost. The implied assumption being that, as an American, I have not really lost any.
And on other occasions you've said that we will probably never get back the freedoms that I've complained we've lost in the U.S..
So what freedom are you asking we should fight for exactly?
Seems to me with Ukraine many of the people in the U.S. are willing to send money and arms so that the UKRAINIANS can die fighting the Russians
"so we don't have to fight them here".
Ask me if I think the Ukraine war was contrived and only
sold as a fight for "freedom"?
(Like the Contras, and Iraq, and Afghanistan, and "the war on terror" and bombing Libya, and Syria etc. etc.)
Real freedom is worth a lot to me.
But 20 years of meddling in another country's "free" elections, putting in weapons system and bio-labs next to Russia, helping Ukraine kill many of it's own Russian speaking citizens and pretending to be shocked when Russia also decides to meddle.
Then the U.S. starts crying about "freedom"?
Sorry, no. I'm not willing to pretend it's about freedom.
You can Ignore the facts i've mentioned & more and then act as if NONE of that matters.
You might believe that Zelinski is more than U.S./Western puppet only being used to weaken Russia on the bones of MORE Ukrainians.
Believe what you will.
But I can not, with any honesty, pretend that the Ukrainian fight is for "freedom" Gunny.
So could you... answer my questions please, "fair is fair".
If you were the CiC what would you do that would insure Ukraine's victory?
And how long and how much $$ do you think it would take?
Also how many lives, Ukrainian, Euro and American, do you think should be thrown into the grinder for victory?
There are about 36 million Ukrainians, how many should be scarified for victory? 1 million, 5, 10?
How many years? 10, 20, 30, 100?
To get them back to the level of freedom where they again known as the most corrupt "democratic" nation in Europe.
Should they fight to the last person and just leave it for the Russians after they are all dead, to show they aren't cowards?
.
Idealism about freedom is what you say I have.
These are practical questions that a reality based person like yourself should want to address.
"Real World" war winning tactics, real cost, real lives, real timetable?
