The mainstream media has reported that Ukraine has launched an attack on Russian soil, in the Russian town of Sudzha, in the Kursk region of Russia, resulting in injuries to 24 people.

So in case I was "so wrong" before, I can now accurately say that the USA, under Biden-Harris's administration, has funded an attack on Russia. No longer can the whiners say "no, we're funding Ukraine to defend itself."

Good point! If the government started telling us that they were going to spend billions to feed the homeless, most of us would probably be happy about that. But getting most of us to be happy about needless wars is not working!

Wrong. The USA is not at war with Russia and is not funding any attack.

Ukraine is defending itself from a Russian invasion.

Sometimes the best defense is a good offense.

Russia now needs to pull back from Ukraine (a place they should not be in the first place) to try and defend the area that Ukraine has captured. That could tip the scales in some of the Ukrainian territories to allow Ukraine to take back what is rightfully theirs.

Anyone who has played RISK at least once in their lives should know this is a common strategy.

The Elitists like wars. It keeps people distracted from what they are doing.

In this case, though, this might be their excuse to suspend elections. "It's a war!"

Our money just killed at least 5 Russian civilians. When they retaliate, will you be happy with the number of American civilians who get killed?

You act as if we're the only country pouring money into Ukraine.

If Russia were to directly attack Americans, Article 5 of NATO would apply.

So then the leftist way to look at it is: go ahead and let the Ukrainian military kill all the Russian civilians they want, and if Russia retaliates, then we'll depend on the NATO alliance to defend us. Sounds smart.

That is not true. The USA is one of many countries that helps Ukraine defend itself from the Russian invasion. This does not give your country a bad reputation.

MAGA gives your country a bad reputation.

Hello Alan,

When Japan attacked the USA at Pearl harbor did the USA reply in Pearl Harbor?

FDR announced to a joint session of Congress that a state of war
existed between the United States and the Empire of Japan.

And then all Japanese and Japanese Americans in Hawaii were given
special protection so they could remain in paradise rather than be
returned to the Land of the Rising Sun.

No, Ukraine is an American asset. Biden is the one who was ok with it while Russia amassed troops along the Ukraine border for months and months and did nothing about it.

Nobody should be killing anyone. This all could and should have been avoided, but the opportunity to squander money was knocking, and Biden seized the opportunity.

If Ukraine attacked Russia unprovoked, I doubt we'd be defending their
actions.

However, that is not what happened. Russia started occupying areas of
Ukraine several years ago. In the last four years, they have invaded
Ukraine. If Ukraine sees an opportunity for a counter offensive into
Russian territory that would weaken their invader, they'd be stupid not to
take it.

Ukraine is the Elitist's money laundromat.

EVERYTHING about Ukraine has been around stealing U.S. tax dollars and putting a good percentage into the pockets of the Elitists.

Our troops have been attacked in other countries. They were recently attacked by Iranians in Iraq (reuters.) The public in the USA wasn't outraged; they don't care, because it didn't happen here.

Now Ukraine has recently attacked Russians in Russia, and killed 5 civilians in the process. That's different; 9 military members and 5 civilians died on their own turf. I expect that Putin will avenge their deaths, and I don't expect him to blame himself for it.

Ukraine is an independent and soverein country that is trying to
protect itself from an unprovoked invasion by Russia. And you want
the USA to stand idly by and do nothing at all to prevent that
from happening? Suppose we would have done nothing to stop Hitler?
Do you think FDR and Hitler would have sat down together and made
a toast to the Brave New World they had created?

I reckon that is what you were hoping to happen - between Trump
amd Putin.

Biden is the one who was ok with it

Biden is the one who told Putin NO - thus ruining Mad Vlad's plans.

I think it depends on what part of the public. I care. You apparently do.
Many (D) voters may or may not care -- those that believe Joe Biden when
he claims that no military members have died on his watch probably don't
care.

The general public, who may be so tired of "news" might care if they were
even aware of it happening.

Now Ukraine has recently attacked Russians in Russia, and killed 5 civilians i
the process. That's different; 9 military members and 5 civilians died on thei
own turf. I expect that Putin will avenge their deaths, and I don't expect him
to blame himself for it.

That last sentence is probably correct, especially the very last bit. I
100% am certain he won't blame himself, even though he should.
