You are wonderful. We are still fighting those wars. I grew up at Ft Bragg and know the military culture all too well. Dr. Strangelove is true! I have some Asian friends that now hate Sasha Baron Cohen after his insult at the Oscars, and these stereotypes are no better than most others.
I spent four years in Vietnam. It was a case of communist aggression, pure and simple. More Russian than Chinese. The US had no idea how to fight it. The South Vietnamese were unenthusiastic.
Ukraine knows Russia intimately. It was under their control for three centuries. Ukraine is united as never before. Wants no part of Russia. Ukraine is a conservative country, with no use for the woke agenda, but it certainly is making good use of the NATO weaponry to check the advances of an always hungry Russia. See Russo-Japanese war, Russo-Finnish war. Molotov-Ribbentrop partition of Poland. Eastern European satellites. Afghan war. Chechan wars (1 & 2). Transnistria war. Georgia South Ossetia/Abkhasia war. Ongoing Armenia and Syria wars.
Ukraine is not Vietnam. We know what and why we are fighting, and are grateful for help from whatever quarter. Liberals, neocons, whoever. We will have to resist their advances later, but first we must defeat Russia.
I personally think it's a gigantic grift based on capital flows that cannot stop. Both sides are in on it and there's so many hands in the cookie jar that neither will allow it to be "won."
I have 31 book reviews of Russia/Ukraine related topics on Amazon. They are at the end of this catalog of my 480 Amazon reviews. Many of them are in Cliff-notes style, giving you the gist of the book so you can decide. Recommend you read reviews at least of
Letters from Russia, 1839
Homo Sovieticus, 1977
Bloodlands
Putin's Wars
Kyiv Diaries
More to come - I have a draft waiting to go next week.
War is a racket. Smedley T. Butler said it in the 1930s. Yes grifters on all sides are getting rich on this one. But it is as clear of a case of unwarranted aggression and violation of sovereignty as you could want. Up there with Saddam's invasion of Kuwait.
The battle must be won. Best approach is to arm Ukraine to the point of winning decisively. Living here I can tell you that Ukrainians will not quit and will not support a political solution that gives away territory. We have done that before and it didn't work. We are clearly occupy the high moral ground, have the support of the world community, and will not give up.
You do not have the support of this member of the world community. There is a reason neither the US president and the US vice president can complete a sentence in English, they are so easily controlled. The Ukraniane has been a stronghold for Naziism and the Khazarkian mafia for a long time, and where we have been laundering much ill begotten money, and hiding pharmaceutical gain of function labs. If you want 'your' country back I would start with getting the US out of it.
We pray for peace over every meal. We pray also for friends and relations in the Russian occupied areas. Despite all they are able to communicate with their families one way or another by Internet, sometimes by phone. Enough for us to know that it is worth fighting to avoid their fate. Which we already knew - there are lots of 2014 Crimea and Donbas refugees among us.
If men are still fighting wars on the basis of who is bigger we have a lot of evolution yet to do as a species. The meme made me laugh perhaps as it was attached to a specific story I heard: our friend Mr. Nathan was Thai military, and was stationed two years in South Sudan (and also eight months in Texas for some reason). He told me a story once of getting deployed to some walled fort and the South Sudanese soldiers refused to let him in until he showed them his junk and proved he was a real man. I remember joking with him at the time about it and wondering what they would think of a US trans person. This meme put that picture in my head of that encounter...
Literally laughed out loud with Moses and tablets. Awesome collection, thanks for the laugh!
"Climatards"- Good one. The "See I knew you wouldn't know" cracked me right up.
Thanks again Amy.
I love the electrical outlets one the most ⚡️⚡️⚡️

Amy, these are great, and thank you a zillion times. We need this to keep us sane.
You're welcome. Me too there!

That's number two on the agenda. Getting Russia out is number one.
My prayers are, as always, for a peaceful resolution ASAP. Take care out there!

Isn't it time to retire dick jokes? It perpetuates hatred among a significant number of people, and it doesn't help.

that was actually the funniest meme of all of them - and still laughing over sinaloa katie h.
Trans person could claim to be a eunuch.
Technically true. ;)
Nope.
Dick jokes are funny.
Especially when black guys tell them. ;)
Depends on the context to a degree. But what I found especially funny about this one is he didn't actually say if he had the answer either
I did not get that joke.
That is too bad.
It was probably very funny. ;)
I be talking to ghosts tonight long story
OK fine.
Tell them I said Hi!
