On 9 December 2008, Ukraine formally withdrew its last forces from Iraq, ending its participation in the Iraq War. Prior to the Russo-Ukrainian War, Ukraine's involvement in the Iraq War was the largest military operation ever performed by the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Over 6,000 Ukrainians performed military service in Iraq and Kuwait during the war, including a permanent presence of 1,600, and 18 Ukrainians were killed." (emphasis mine)
I'm trying to understand what the Republican Party (the party I vote most often) stands for anymore.
Imagine what it's going to be like when the Republicans are the only ones sandbagging Ukraine. They weren't even a NATO member and sent troops to help defend us during out terrorist attack. When we invoked article 5. And now we won't even sends weapons?
Did Russia send troops? No. They did not.
I'm starting to wonder if Republicans believe in Western values at all. Or if they even know what freedom really is after the last four years of fake "mask freedom".
Snark - Republicans & Democrats are birds of a feather.

I adore you BunnyGoat, but I couldn't get through the whole thing. That guy is definitely being paid by the word. Or loves to hear himself talk.
ReplyDeleteI don't know if I even agree with the parts I read. Because America gave up right away. With SARS and everything else. There was literally no effort needed by any country. Americans literally said "waaaa this is too hard. I'm giving up".
And about Russia, I honestly believe that some Republicans believe that Russia is a better place than the US.
People who talk about "Russian Values" don't know a single thing about Russia.
He does go on for a bit, doesn't he?
ReplyDeleteStill, a few good nuggets in there. You are right about Russia.
If you are still covering COVID, then this guy from Brazil has some interesting articles.
