Let’s take a look at a legit quote from our current commander in chief.

I’m not excited to watch our weak leadership go “toe-to-toe” with anyone. I’m even less excited to watch Biden speak in the next 5 minutes. Does he know where he is? Who he’s taking about? Probably not without the script he’ll be reading off.

Like I said above, it's time to get off social media and study some history.
Go woke. Go broke. That's what happened.

Nuclear bad. Let destroy open lands where animals live with solar panel farms and wind turbines... you know to save the environment. We can't admit we still can't produce the energy we need so we'll depend on Russia, but we still need NATO... to defend against Russia... who has all of our energy and doesn't give two sh1ts about the environment or pollution. Because global warming.

The good thing for the USA is that at least we have a big country with big reserves and when the Zoomers can't afford to Zoom any longer, we still have the resources to fix it. Gonna need some new nuclear plants as well for all those Teslas coming off the line. Maybe they'll figure that part out, after they figure the you need fossil fuels for the food to get to the grocery store part out.

Lets Go Brandon

The overall theme of my posts on this thread has been that the decades of foreign intervention and far leftist idealism at home, not grounded in reality or in actual science is starting to produce some very bitter fruit. I'm getting hate from both sides, so while I might not be right about everything, I think I'm pointing out the basic underlying problems that neither side will be able to ignore much longer. Short term, we're hosed, but the saving grace might be that the war hawks just don't have the ability or support to get into WWIII. Not politically, not financially, and it would be even less popular than Vietnam. Long term I think minds will be changed in the right direction. It's already happening here, and it's happening in a big way in Canada. Just gonna suck a bit for a year or two.

Lets also not forget that the reason this mess exists is because of an soft coup by the state department in 2014. The us has been an invader and an aggressor since ww2, a war that was won because of the soviet union.
Putin, is that you?

​​​​​​Just in case you don't get the sarcasm, this is 100% not true.

This is rank Kremlin propaganda. How did you come to this conclusion?

Assuming you aren't trolling. Ukraine has it's own language, culture, traditions, and identity. There are many Ukrainians in the U.S. They don't want to be called Russians, because they are not, they're Ukrainians and it's different than the Russian culture. Same with Poland and all the other former Soviet countries. They were all under control of the U.S.S.R, which no longer exists, but still had their own ethnicities, cultures, and traditions.

The contested areas have a majority of people that are Russians or see themselves as wanting to be aligned with Russia. This is why the separatists in those areas started fighting after the 2014 coup... ahem... sorry... "student revolution" in Ukraine when they decided they would not get the voice the wanted in the Ukrainian gov't.

This is really nothing new. It's the main problem in the Middle East and places like Afghanistan. A bunch of people who historically have their own ethnicity/culture/identity were thrown together into a bunch of random countries with no regard for any ethnic and cultural differences when the major world powers had to figure out how to give up their empires yet still organize the world. The result has been the dictators, wars, and suffering.

I’m pretty sure you’re joking/trolling, if so you certainly succeeded in getting some people riled up. If not…..Well let’s just say I hope you get paid well to spout such tripe.

Lol this thread makes the COVID board a few months back look scholarly in comparison. It generally disturbs me that some of you have enough interest in aviation that you come to this board and figure hey this is where my views are needed.

Go check out the new Truth app if you want to hang with fellow Patriots that need further enlightenment.
