Ukraine….what’s our endgame here

Depends on what you mean by strict? I believe in the ideals and the intent of the constitution.
I’m not saying that we shouldn’t have the feds provided disaster relief as I believe in the benefits of broad federalism, but I also don’t think that those extra, inferred powers only referred to as “promoting the general welfare” should supersede enumerated responsibilities in terms of priority.
I’ve been skeptical of what has been published regarding the conflict for quite some time.
Those gosh durned yellow journalists! Can't quite see their motive to extend the war, but to then say that more than 50% of Ukranians want it to end in relation to the US not funding it any longer. That sentiment kind of goes against their desire to extend it. You would think that wouldn't be publicized. Unless you just want to push mistrust of journalists in general.
To be clear, I wasn’t referring to journalist intentionally publishing misleading information. I am skeptical of any information released by Russia or Ukraine.
I took the comment to refer specifically to this poll, and generally to whatever was suspect. Obviously Russian & Ukranian reports will be biased towards whatever suits their needs in a time of war, and not towards the truth. I assumed that Gallup has enough of their men on the ground, collecting and supervising the collection of this information, that they felt confident enough to publish it. That's why I was questioning whom the general statements accusation was leaving as suspect., seeing as how the poll didn't seem to have a bias to suspect. If the specific doesn't meet the accusation, it lends to questioning who is suspected in the general accusation.
I think he doesn’t know what a missile is and we should be convening concurrent Congressional and criminal investigations into who is making policy decisions such as these.

Hopefully we finally get a peace deal done. This current escalation is alarming. Every month which passes the negotiating position of Ukraine grows weaker. I would like to see Biden get a peace treaty worked out as the final act of his presidency. The last month has been a disaster.
But you wanted Obama/Biden to put troops on the ground in 2014/Now. You can't have your cake and eat it too, with your arguments. This is the risk that gave Biden nervous qualms, when we started out gradually giving military aid at the beginning. This is the reason we were so tempered, at the start, and now you are arguing against these levels of involvement and permission.
Just give em half the country, and move on. Great solution. Just puts it down the road a bit. Then they start it up again.
Show me where I supported American boots on the ground. What I said pre invasion was to provide Ukraine with the military assets to deter and/defend the invasion. That never included boots. I knew as should have everyone that once Russia seized that territory they were never surrendering the same. Just a massive foreign policy blunder. Now we have ICBMs involved. Great
I’ll ask the same question I’ve asked for over 2 years. What’s your plan for victory? Ukraine loses this war longterm.
What? You have been arguing for boots on the ground for a year or more. Saying that us putting boots on the ground was the only way to solve this situation, and nothing short of that would do any good. Your argument was get involved and give them the support they needed, which was boots on the ground or give them nothing. How hypocritical of you to deny that.
And your solution was boots on the ground. Can I grind this in anymore? Now you are saying there was never any solution and let them take what they want, essentially. That has been your argument from the start, I think. What a lark. Do more. Do more, do more, oh wait you did more? Oh no!!!
Show me where I said that. Ever. Go.
I have never advocated boots on the ground. I have said once we allowed Russia to take that territory that territory was forever gone w out boots on the ground.
Implying your argument was for boots on the ground. And what was your argument for Obama to have done differently, other than boots on the ground? He could have upped our involvement to what Biden did, increasing levels of support, or boots on the ground.
