But this is becoming Viet Nam where politicians, safe in their office, send arms so other people can die and suffer and the American taxpayers pay for it.
The strip the Russians control is completely leveled and has no real value at this point.
But if you let a country have the Crimea, you are basically telling them you have no juevos. You are setting the table for a further incursion.
It is time for the U.S. to act like the big dog we are and set the pizz line. Both in Europe and in the South China Sea and in world trade.
Youâre no " big dog" when China industrial capacity is 1.6 times ours. Their ship building capacity is 200 times ours. Not to mention there people power. They produce ships like sausages as well as other war material we get into a conventional war conflict with them, literally in their own backyard.
We could if he believed we had the juevos to force him out. We could easily force him out but we donât have juevos.
There are realities. The Russians arenât leaving unless they are forced out. The only people forcing them out is the United States. Do you want to die for a strip of mud in Eastern Europe?
The problem is we havenât been transparent in what our pizz line is. We havenât been willing to defend our pizz line.
Are you willing to put boots on the ground in Ukraine? Putin is confident Americans donât have the stomach for it. If he is appeased in Ukraine he will take more, Putin wants to reclaim the old USSR he grew up under.
The support we have been giving Ukraine has been money well spent. The US is also holding ukraine back with what tactics they can use. Ukraine, which is being invaded can not strike back deep inside russia.
I am not willing to put boots on the ground for the strip of mud they now control. But if we tell them what our line is, yes hell yes we commit everything we have got so nobody Fâs with us again.
Letting them have the Crimea was what caused all of this. Lack of transparency and lack of resolve gets people killed.
American population has no stomach for American dying great numbers thatâs just a fact. When they start seeing Americaâs sons and daughters coming home in body bags. Theyâll lose that jingoism real quick and our pols know this. Can anyone say Viet Nam. Much to the MAGA folks credit a lot of them say their tired of fighting forever wars, one reason Orangeman appeal to the masses.
Might makes right when there is a lack of might to counter act what was going on. We let them have the Crimea because we lacked resolve. But in defense of the unresolved, we werenât exactly transparent in what our line was.
When you are the big dog you donât deal in nuance. You deal in absolutes. We were puzzies and consequently we got more people killed.
Donât rouse the DragonâŠwe may just catch there fire. They will fight to the bitter end once the gauntlet of war is laid down. You know there military history especially ancient history. They were fielding armies in the 100 of thousands way before any other civilization on earth.
