Will Ukraine be Biden's next Afganistan?

[SugarDaddy1]

The Biden administration warned over the weekend that it "will not be in a position to evacuate U.S. citizens" from Ukraine in the event of a Russian invasion, and critics quickly drew comparisons to the administration's previous failures in Afghanistan.

Hundreds of thousands of Russian troops have been massing on the country's border with Ukraine in recent months, foreshadowing a possible invasion. Diplomatic attempts to resolve the tensions so far have appeared to fail.

"As President Biden has said, military action by Russia could come at any time and the United States government will not be in a position to evacuate American citizens in such a contingency, so U.S. citizens currently present in Ukraine should plan accordingly, including by availing themselves of commercial options should they choose to leave the country,"*the State Department said.

Critics on social media quickly responded by slamming the Biden administration's efforts to help U.S. citizens trapped in war zones, or lack thereof. Many drew comparisons to the administration's botched withdrawal from Afghanistan last year, during which hundreds — if not thousands — of Americans were left behind amid a Taliban takeover of the country.

Why not all of the ingredients for a Biden failure are present.

Next Vietnam,

 

[GothTalk]

Next Vietnam,

Yuuuuup.

A war for the sake of war..... there is absolutely zero reason for it except to help distract from the political dumpster fire that is the D led congress and Biden administration.

And I bet all the boards good comrades step right in line and support it. Even if they say they don't, they'll immediately go vote for the warmongers again.

So...you're pissing your panties because people who are being told to get the f out might choose not GTFO, and then when war comes and they can't GTFO they'll cry? That's what you're worried about?

No I'm worried about blowing trillions of dollars we don't have, thousands of American lives and other resources..... just to boost Bidens approval rating.

Another pointless war we have even less interest in than Iraq is the last thing we as a nation need right now.

 

[PaxNurgle]

Let me guess...you SUPPORTED the Iraq invasion in 2003, right?

They can't be honest now.

I wasn't really politically aware of much until 2010ish after I got out of the military.

Before then I was too busy operating operationally to have an opinion on matters soldiers shouldn't concern themselves with. ​

What does your whattaboutism with Iraq have to do with Ukraine near 20 years later??

They can't be honest now.

Luk is projecting again.

Stop pretending you were in the military.

I'll say this again; claiming to have served in the military when you have not, is EXTREMELY disrespectful to those who have actually done so.

But that's why you do it, isn't it? To piss off those patriotic American soldiers who lay their life on the line protecting this country from people like yourself.

Emobo also claims to have burned military uniforms in a dumpster after being drummed out of the military for unspecified reasons; while also receiving a significant monetary settlement from said military.

I think disgraceful is a better word to describe Emobo.

*disgusted nod*

I'm not pretending.

Yea, it is, good thing I'm not doing anything of the sort.

Nope..... I am that American soldier who protected this country from people like you.

I know you think only true communist sympathizers who hate white people as much as you do could possibly serve, but it's just not true.

Not unspecified reasons, that's just a lie from (D)ishonest scum.

The reasons were very specific.

Loss of military standards for equity fee fees. What used to be a noteworthy achievement is now just another participation trophy handed out for equity sake.

Why would I want to keep a reminder that my achievements have been totally degraded??? The US Army is full of woke bullshit, thus I burnt the participation trophy uniforms.

The USA has been in a race to the bottom for equity sake, I'm just here to extract every bit of wealth I can to provide for me and mine.... laughing as it all falls apart.

To the OP:

Did you mean to say, Putin's?


I think he's just playing chess with a flock of seagulls (pigeons).

All the West is going to do is shit all over the board...

 

[JohnnySavage]

Europe's problem. They should handle their own business. For a change.

 

[Champakian]

Everyone is terrified that if they did that then
Germany would produce a Fourth Reich.

Everyone is more terrified of Germany than Russia.
Especially France and probably England.

The Italians have mixed emotions...

 

[JohnnySavage]

Sounds like France and England need to spend more on defense and stop suckling at the teat of the American tax payer

 

[Champakian]

That's such a great idea.

Tell the Europeans to armor up again...

We have centuries of real life experience that teach us what a bad idea that is.

 

[Champakian]

Another thought...

They treat us and view us as the ugly red-headed stepchild,

but all too often it seems as if we're the only adult in the room trying to dampen their squabbling.

 

[JohnnySavage]

As a percentage of GDP, the US (the biggest debtor nation in history) spends more than twice what the average NATO member spends. And that money isn't defending Kansas.

 

[Champakian]

Good.


The bad-ass on the block doesn't get bullied...

 

[JohnnySavage]

The bad-ass on the block gets manipulated by the smart kids to do their fighting for them.

 

[Champakian]

He takes their lunch money for "protection."


Were you home-schooled?

 

[JohnnySavage]

Here is how to be a prosperous nation (i.e. a Germany, South Korea, Japan):

1. Find a patsy to pay for your defense.
2. Use the money you would have spent on defense to provide social programs like healthcare.
3. Now that your businesses aren't burdened by providing social programs, set them up to compete with the patsy's businesses.
4. You now have said patsy paying for the honor of cutting it's own throat.
