little2add Posted February 1, 2023 Share Posted February 1, 2023 As of 01/06/23 the US has given $24.9 billion, Today, the Department of Defense (DoD) announces the Biden Administration's commitment of $3.075 billion in additional security assistance for Ukraine. This saga is reminiscent of the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria,let us pray that history doesn’t repeat itself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fides' Jack Posted February 1, 2023 Author Share Posted February 1, 2023 I also read that Biden is sending over long-range missiles. Russia is the only country that seems to have any interest at all in averting a world war. Whether Putin had just reasons or not for starting the war in Ukraine, he has had soo many opportunities now to escalate and strike back against other countries, and he has not - yet. If we keep poking the bear, eventually that bear is going to lash out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The war crimes though, bit of a bummer. What a shame, nobody thought to just ask nicely for them to cut it out. Next time I see one of the dozens of kids I have personally met here in Canada, with their homes destroyed and fathers and uncles back in Ukraine fighting or killed, I will remind them "thank goodness Russia has not escalated!"

My heart goes out to Ukrainians who truly have suffered as a result of this. It really does. But Ukraine has not been innocent in all this. It is not all Russia. I do believe that Canada is less complicit than the US, so there's that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, Russia has escalated the war in Ukraine. But the United States has done it's fair share, if not a leading cause of it beginning. The 2012 overthrow of the then Ukrainian government was lead by the US. In 2016 Senators Lindsay Graham and John McCain visited Ukraine promising an offensive proxy war with Russia. The US has repeatedly rejected the idea of Ukraine as a neutral non-NATO nation. Just a few days ago the former prime minister of Israel recently came out and said the US basically forced Ukraine to reject a peace deal with Russia. Numerous other sources have also said the same. There has been nothing but escalation from the US. This doesn't make the Russians the good guys, they are not good. But I don't want the world to burn in a flood of nuclear fire. Which is what all this is leading up to. Ukraine is a must win for all sides. Strength through force. Each side wants to punk the other side down. Honestly, I don't see how this doesn't grow outside of Ukraine and Russia. NATO / US sending tanks and jets next are acts of war making it a target.

fides' Jack Posted February 14, 2023 Author Share Posted February 14, 2023 Not to mention the fact that it's known now that the US blew up the Nordstream 2 pipeline. When did that come out? When there was hysteria around spy balloons, instead. No one took notice, which clearly seems to have been the goal. The MSM is not going to report this to the American people. The US is seeking WWIII. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didacus Posted March 15, 2023 Share Posted March 15, 2023 Of my living memory, the world has never been closer to WWIII as we are this moment. Furthermore, it would seem hard set on the path of WW-III; usually something has to happen to set off a war, at this point it feels as though we need something to happen to prevent it. China is the main player outside of Europe and the USA. The main weakness of the Western world is there is no longer a will to fight (nothing like there was 60+ years ago to say the least). If WW-III happens, I dare say NATO would lose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is nothing worth defending anymore in Europe or North America, especially in Canada. I currently have more in common with Russia, who at least recognize traditional family and Christian values, than anything splurged out of anything labelled 'Canadien'. I would hail the Russians (or the Chinese, whichever comes first) as genuine liberators. LET THE WESTERN TOWERS FALLS!
