Listen I know about you kids and you think your allusions and puns are funny. Well let me tell you something. There are really people in the Ukraine and Crimea that might not appreciate your jokes. You all joking around with your shaggy haircuts and reefer well let me tell you something buster- one day you have to grow up. And when you are down and out and want a hand out and saying the system let me down. I will tell you get a job deadbeat and de Nile is a river in Egypt I'm going to be there to say "cry me a river."

al,
Since you quoted me, I am going to work on the assumption that your above quoted missive is directed towards myself.
I would like to disabuse you of some false assumptions (
alby, realize I am operating under the premise that your above words were directed at me. If not, please disregard the first half of my The Ukraine missive, hear?):
1. I am not a child, although I may not be as long in the tooth as yourself. Still, I am an adult.
2. There is not a hair on my head that is longer than two inches, I just measured: although I am due for a haircut. (
last haircut was a few weeks ago, but I am no longer military and I will deal with that ASAP3. I do not smoke marijuana. Alcohol and tobacco are my only vices as far as drugs go.
4. I have grown up, doing well enough to please myself, and am my own boss.
5. I have a job, and even at my job with "The Man," I am still my own boss. I also have my own business.
6. Since I "flew the nest" at 17-19 (
took a few attempts, but I eventually spread my wings) I have never needed a "Hand-Out" (
if you wish you may characterize my utilization of my 60% VA Education benefits as a "Hand-Out" if you like, but I feel like I earned it)
I am going to say that you are in the "strongly psoitive/negative emotion" group on
the Ukraine thing. I am going to assume that you have strong
negative emotions about it.
Now, that all being said. Hear, teh second part of my missive:
I find it difficult to pick a
winner in this dog-fight. The available intel I gather does not paint either side in a great light. You have allegations of Azov Battalion Neo-Nazis, shady back room deals going back to the 2010s, a "color revolution" from both the Russians in Crimea and ourselves in getting Zelensky (
whatever his name is) installed as
the Ukraine leader. The Russians are clearly behaving like hegemons, but again going back to the 2010s (
Georgia/South Ossetia, Crimea, & probably somewhere else I forgot) which is nothing new.
That being said, it is quite easy
as you point out to pick a
loser in this fight, and that is quite clearly
the Ukrainian people.
I am certain you are familiar with the very old, and possibly ancient, saying: "
Friends of Liberty everywhere, but Guardians only of our own."
Looking at the current State of the Union: I think my energies, monies, and concerns are more wisely spent here at home.
If NATO, a select group of Allies, or the USA by itself decides to formally enter this conflict: well that is a different thing entirely. As of the time of this posting, that has not happened. The
LDRSHIP on this one, in this country at minimum, is sadly lacking.
I have plenty more to say on this subject, but since I do not Officially Care, I will keep it to myself.
Of course, if you want I could make another post later on.
In the meantime, you might peruse the thread I created over at AzzGab if you like. It can be found here:
Well, apparently AzzGab links are verbotten on BellGab? Huh, if you can find the site it is easily found via the "Search" function

some of those pages might be entire JaxTard postings, he has no fewer than THREE sock-puppet accounts there, so bear that in mind and try not to wear out your scrolling finger!)
I think I cared on Valentine's Day? Nautical Shore...
HAH!
I hope we can remain friends, albrecht.
Cheers,
