Let's show how bogus Russian security concerns with Ukraine joining nato are by pumping billions of dollars into the country in response to an invasion. Kinda proves their point, doesn't it?

I would say put it to a vote in Ukraine but Zelensky labeled his political competition as sympathetic to Russia and banned them.

He spent 8 years of his life trying to overturn *** care and when the day came, he betrayed himself and everybody else just to spite Trump.
He chopped his nose off just to piss Trump off

It's been out there as an allegation for a long time, and many on here have staunchly pushed back against it saying it was totally unsubstantiated.

I agree with the above statement.
No, that is not his legacy.
But it's not his legacy.

So much butthurt about my truthful comments ....maineman » 06 Oct 2023, 5:11 pm » wrote: ↑ Butt hurt? Why would I be butt hurt about the life saga of a one-and-done enlistee who worked on electronic gear for a few years in the Army and then got discharged? Throughout my Navy career, I met a lot of guys who were not committed to serving their country and were only spinning their wheels for four years while they figured out what was next for them. I also met a lot of guys who wanted to make the Navy their career. I have zero inclination to think much about the former, and lots of the latter are still my shipmates and friends to this day.

A. How so much of the military is made up of Losers who barely passed HS. with all sorts of legal trouble, etc.....
B. Losers who couldn't make a living any other way and usually the first ones ordered to "take that hill"..
It was just too much truth for you to handle and your reaction was that of a butthurt teenage girl.
So you spent your life all day every day doing paper work and now you think you're Paul Revere......
