The constant Russian interference, combined with the regular escalation from the jets patrolling, and the radar jamming, really needs to be dealt with.

We're stuck between having to do timid actions and full NATO escalation. This feels like constant creep.

If only there were someone applying pressure to Russia we could have fight for us!

So sacrifice more Ukrainian men for the meat grinder? What has that accomplished so far?

What business is that of ours? It's up to the Ukrainians what they are willing to do in defense of their country.

C'mon. Their funding is entirely US dependent. What business is that of ours? We are enabling it. How could you possibly ask the question "what business is that of ours"? Explain yourself, that question is absurd.

They clearly want to fight! This is like arguing giving someone chemo is enabling their cancer.

Exactly because Ukrainians want to fight their borders are closed from the day one. Because the people that want to fight should be kept in their country by force, North Korea style. I’m not sure how it works, but well.

This perspective on conscription is odd to me. Countries do conscription during existential wars. The Allies used conscription in WW2. Was that wrong?
