The question is non-sequitor. Ours is the support that can make it unnecessary for us or others to send troops to Ukraine.

Also, lets create the conditions for WW3 by backing out of our defense commitments.

It's a weird question given trump said the war would be over by now.

So underwrite the war and let other countries children shed their blood. As long as American lives are not wasted I am on board.

You give us too much credit. The Ukrainians are not fighting the Russians because we are 'letting them'. They've made their decision that freedom from an oppressive Russian imperialist kelptocracy is worth it to them, much like a bunch of colonists did a couple of hundred years ago against a British crown that was objectively nowhere nearly as brutally uncivilized. The colonists didn't ask another great power, the French, to fight for them, though they did seek material support there. Of course a few soldiers of fortune did show up in the colonies, much like I'm sure you can find Americans and Canadians and poles in Ukraine today working in that war effort without any official sanction from their governments.

Keep that in mind when you see some knuckle dragging maga dip**** with solidified chew spittle on his too small sweatshirt complain about “erasing history” when a confederate statue comes down. 

[Tigerbomb13]

Yup. Erasing history of slave owners is outlandish, and then purge everything about black history. Tells you all you need to know about these people.

Kind of apples to oranges in that scenario. The British were already in control and we over threw them.

We have sent Ukraine billions ans billions of cash and weapons already. It is time for Europe to take a bigger role. They want to put boots on the ground then thats on them. Putin would view it as an act of war and we will see you in nuke town.

You coveniently   left out the part about "with help from France". 
 

Now I'm not advocating "boots on the ground"  in Ukraine. We learned our lesson in Korea and Viet Nam among other places. But you keep spouting Putin's rhetoric

The credit for the survival of the Zelensky Government in Feb 22 owes a tremendous amount to the help he got from US and Allied intel which gave him precise warning of the place and timing of the attempted coup de main at Hostumel Airport.   The people who gave that warning had a success of the caliber of that which killed Yamamoto in '43 or more to the point and on the nose, to allow the US to smuggle US Embassy Tehran employees out via the Canadian ambassador's house.

It makes me sad and angry that the Trump Administration has gaul to go over to Munich, where the Nazis Beer Hall Putsch took place in 1923, and lecture the Germans about defending democracy. They did this after Trump and his MAGA allies committed the Beer Belly Putsch on January 6th in an attempted coup to overthrow our government.

Quote

President Donald Trump’s administration is seeking the removal and review of certain books from Department of Defense Education Activity schools, “potentially related to gender ideology or discriminatory equity ideology.”

According to the Guardian, a memo was sent out Monday to parents of students at Pentagon schools stating that library books would be under a “compliance review.”

The memo stated that certain books will be removed from circulation that do not align with the Trump administration’s directives to eliminate “gender ideology” and “discriminatory equity ideology.”

 

Quote

There are approximately 67,000 students comprising 160 Pentagon schools that could be affected by the review and book removals.

Quote

Several materials already under review include: 

Black history month lessons for sixth graders

“Freckleface Strawberry” by actor Julianne Moore, a book for children ages 4 to 8 and tells the story of a girl coming to love her freckles.

Fifth grade lessons on immigration

“No Truth Without Ruth”, a picture book about late U.S. Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg.

I have seen the full video of that First Lady. She is complaining that she will have to get a job because she was caught doing welfare fraud. But carry on.

She doesn't say in the video that she has to get a job. She says that she can't work. Are you assuming she's lying?

TBH, these words even when fully sounded have meanings to RW'ers/nativists/victorian moralists, that are still negative and that they are quite willing to defend. It's a place were the argument may be sound but based on premises on which there is enough deeper disagreement so there is no persuasive value with the other side.

I get that and agree with that, but the post was asking them to basically explain why diversity is bad, why equity is bad, and why inclusion is bad.
