    By the way, the person you are quoting is a little known economics professor in Helsinki, Finland. He doesn't seem to have any background in geopolitics or warfare. He's just another loudmouth appeaser with an attitude. You can read his wikipedia page right after you finish writing it.

    So much ignorance . . . A warmonger is someone who wants to START a war, or maybe jump into a war (let me spell it out for you--that means send in troops from your own country). Russia already started this war. We just want to help Ukraine win the war. If we continue to supply weapons to Ukraine, there is a good chance that they will be able to win it.

    Let me throw something out for you to help you wake up and smell the coffee: if Ukraine loses the war this year because republicans in Congress refused to provide weapons and ammo to Ukraine, not only will Biden be re-elected, but a lot of republican Congressmen could be voted out of Congress. There are quite a few republican voters that are sick of the partisan (and treasonous) crap that the republicans are doing right now, and there may be enough of us to vote a democrat majority into both houses of Congress. It may or may not happen, but don't come crying to me if it does. You'll get no sympathy. I don't vote for traitors.

    They think that:

    a) there is a good chance that Trump avoids prison time and is awarded immunity based on his popularity with 40% of the voters.

    b) Trump will get re-elected.

    BWAHAHAHAHA ! ! !

    Trump armed Ukraine and increased aid to NATO because he was forced to do so by Congress. Keep in mind that the only change the platform at the 2016 Republican National Convention was the deletion of a plank at the request of the Trump campaign calling for lethal aid to Ukraine. The bombing of Syria was symbolic with Trump notifying the Russians in advance who in turn almost certainly notified the Syrians. While some Syrian aircraft were damaged the Syrian runways were repaired and operational in less than 24 hours following the bombing. Russia was a party to Iran Nuclear deal that Trump tore up. So did France, Germany, the EU and the UK. Below is a list of every country that signed the agreement:
    • China. Wang Yi, Foreign Minister.
    • France. Laurent Fabius, Foreign Minister.
    • Germany. Frank-Walter Steinmeier, Minister of Foreign Affairs.
    • European Union. Federica Mogherini, High Representative.
    • Iran. Mohammad Javad Zarif, Minister of Foreign Affairs.
    • Russia. ...
    • United Kingdom. ...
    • United States.

    I frankly don’t know why z trump bombed Syria. Putin had already defeated Obama-Biden in that war.

    Yep. We even neutered Patton for a while after he kicked butt in Sicily but slapped a shell-shocked soldier. We used him as a decoy commander over a plywood and rubber army before D-day which worked because he was most feared by German commanders; but was still a waste of his tactical prowess.

    Yes. The CIA programmed the border build up more than a year in advance. Amazing powers of influence, apparently.

    Also, Ukraine has been an independent country since the Soviet Union broke up in 1991.

    I guess Russia is free to “annex” former Soviet states through any means, but it’s aggression to try and prevent that?

    Yet Angela Merkel knew as far back as 2008 that bringing Ukraine closer to and into NATO would be seen as "an act of war by Vladimir Putin." So, she voted against it. But yeah, we had no idea why Russia would attack Ukraine. They're independent.
