    Whether or not it’s going to a good cause is highly debatable.
    Many good things are highly debatable, but it is impossible to conclude it is not a good cause unless someone is pro-rashist...

    There is absolutely no justification for russia's invasion, therefore ANY opposition to that invasion, particularly in providing armaments or making them available is a good cause.

    I saw the apartments and churches that had been bombed. I walked streets away from any justifiable military target that were cratered. I spoke the Ukrainians who had relatives killed...

    Our support for Ukriane is 100% as justified as WWII and if russia is allowed to continue, we will be watching the start of WWIII as russia grows bolder with our inaction just as Germany did in 1938 and 1939...

    Here's the deal bro...

    Ukriane getting a bunch of our equipment and some of our money isn't the problem it is at most a symptom. You repeatedly bitching using ignorant hyperbole is a just as much of a problem as the US sending our tax dollars abroad.

    I am 100% for the USA sending tech and equipment for free or a large discount. I don't like our tax dollars leaving our shore, but that ship has sailed and at least it is going to a good cause. The value of the equipment and cash is maximized by going to Ukraine who is fighting to remain free and taking real, concrete steps to clean out corruption.

    You’re about as far off as Ukraines missile that landed in Poland, but you’re entitled to your opinion.

    How many times did that happen?

    There is a difference between someone who made a mistake or had a car malfunction and gets into a crash, vs someone ramming any car they see...

    As I've stated, I'm not pro-russia,

    Russia, at one time in the past called in the U.S. - 'Imperialist's, which is hilariously hypocritical and not a little off the mark given their current pursuits...

    But, I still maintain, as rapacious and imperialist as russia is against Ukeraine: It's not our fight.

    Do we stick our nose in (militarily when other countries war with each other...maybe, but mostly...no) so why do we want to want to spend our blood (yeah, our guys are there) and treasure there?

    Oh, the injustice...russia invaded ukraine..uh-huh and we should be the white knights saving another corrupt country from the bad guys?

    Puh-leeze...it's a despicable World War 2 tactic, that will eventually lead Ukraine to give up with an effort killing millions...I guess I admire, nowe won't give up, no matter how many of us you kill or ruin our country with destruction...sigh...ok...good luck with that...

    I get it, I too won't give up, but then it's only me...not millions...

    Yeah, then we'll abandon billions of dollars worth of shiny new small arms and vehicles for them to use to spread their terror more. Frankly, I'd rather voluntarily give old stuff to Ukraine to use against Russia than do a half-assed, idiotic bug-out and give new stuff to the Taliban to use against whoever they decide to try to kill next.
    What are the odds of Russia some how getting their hands on the US equipment left in Afghanistan? That would be some shite if they started using it against the Ukraines

    Then what was your point other than to equate A SINGLE errant missile with a distinct pattern of intentional destuction...

    lol. Maybe you need to read that post a second time. I wasn’t trying to equate it to anything.

    Why would they want to do that?

    It's obsolete.

    We give it away at no cost whatsoever I am told.

    Try using a little reading comprehension. He was asking about the brand-new, top of the line equipment that was abandoned to the Taliban in Afghanistan. Not obsolete, and not given away at no cost - it cost us 14 Marines just during the bugout shitshow. In total calling it quits, abandoning the one strategic airbase that could have handled the evacuation and leaving behind all that equipment was the culmination of throwing away nearly 7000 US and allied lives.
