Because this is their homeland. They do not want to be ruled by a tyrant.
You must not understand that for many people, freedom is worth sacrificing one's life.

Well, the person you are responding to likely has tantrums around the freedom not to wear a mask during a pandemic, not understanding what ACTUAL freedom entails.

I mean, the patriots to the PP are the people who attacked the Capitol, whereas in Uktraine, the patriots in Ukraine are DEFENDING the capital.

More likely - it is someone who believes we should cut our defense budget to nearly nothing because war is bad.

So if that’s the case US gun owners should just all surrender their weapons amirite?

Many o f the gun owners watch fox news and listen to Steve Bannon and thus believe the Russias are the good guys here.

And you know this how? (you don't... you are just making crap up)

most gun owners lean right. Most right leaning people watch Fax News.

Truth hurts, doesn't it.

If you can’t win, why die fighting. The fight could happen after with strength from other countries plus will buy time for the sanctions to take hold,Putin to crumble. The soldiers on the bridge who were ordered by Russians to lay down to avoid bloodshed and one soldier told them to F off; one soldier’s actions killed the entire group.

Well, you little hypothesis is proven false since Steve Bannon is not on Fox.
And, you must not watch Fox if you believe them to be "pro-Russian."
Their coverage of the war in Ukraine has been excellent.

At this point, I think you are just trolling.
They believe they CAN win. And, most of us are hoping they are right.
And, the incident you are referring to happened on Snake Island, not a bridge. And, it appears that all 13 soldiers were in agreement that the Russian warships f off.

Just a simple question,....... if a foreign power, let's say China .... invaded the US in an effort to take over our country, would you want the US not to fight?

Turkey.


Putin has lost Khazakstan, Hungary, Turkey and full Czech region.

This, so far, has been a disaster for him, and if Finland and Sweden end up joining NATO, well that will be just desserts.

Turkey hasn’t confirmed this and it wasn’t in the Turkish readout of the call. It’s probably just a request right now

Again, they are outnumbered and overpowered.^ we are a super power and hat is not comparable.

Excellent insights from National Security Advisor Fiona Hill. Listen through the link below (it’s about 10 minutes). Two of many excellent points she makes:

- Former Western leaders, including Americans, Germans, etc, routinely undercut sanctions - we must be consistent and steady with sanctions if they are to have any impact for Putin. She suggests Putin already factored in sanctions to the calculus.

- Putin, like Hitler, sees invading Ukraine as a matter of National security and will not stop.

Because if you roll over without a fight when a foreign invader comes then you are only emboldening them to move on to the next invasion.

What you are hinting at but refuse to state clearly is that people like Tucker Carlson, who is totally pro-Russian, do not run a news program, but a propaganda program. And Fox is littered by personalities like him.

Apparently they would rather be dead than live under Russian rule, which should tell you something.

Kinda like great Britain and the US colonies? Yet our ancestors (mine anyway-- maybe you are descended from lesser stuff) scrapped together and FOUGHT this superpower, got allies (thank you Lafayette), and won. USA! USA!

No the Russians killed them. They are fighting for their freedom unlike the jan6 th’ers. Russians are thugs and criminals. They will rape, loot, and kill civilians. It is better to die on your feet and take a few Russians with vs quietly die in a prison.
