The US military isn't going in, but there's nothing stopping individuals from going to Ukraine

Taking up arms and joining the fight. Matter of fact Ukraine is calling for just such International brigades. If you're so emotionally upset at the lack of US military response, maybe you'd be better off getting thyself to Ukraine posthaste.

Ukraine has plenty of small arms and ammo and they're paying civilians, ever foreign civilians, for joining the fight.

1. It'll be a bloody insurgency.

It's such a tragedy. Honestly, well coordinated and well equipped western forces could force out the Russians in short order. But it'll take many thousands upon thousands dying instead. My heart breaks. I hope my friends survive.

At first, I thought you left an r out of the third 'Truckers' but then considering Tucker Carlson, it fits appropriately.

3. No thanks,

Seen enough war for my lifetime, just want to drive my truck and enjoy life and am too damn old, but if others want to, god bless them and go kick some Russian ass.

4. Wanna bet Oaf Keepers and UnProud Boys stay out of this.

Their battle is with the US Government. Why should they give a fuck about the people in Ukraine?

May God protect our troops overseas and those choosing to help Ukraine.

5. I'd say let's send all the MAGATs,

but they would defect to the Russian side.

6. When I went for coffee this morning there a MAGAt I know walked in the store

wearing one those Russian winter fur hats with a Soviet badge on the front.

[MarineCombatEngineer]

7. So typical of a MAGAT,

and proves my point.

That fucking idiot probably has no clue of the stain associated with that badge, the atrocities committed by successive soviet leaders.

[doc03]

8. He is 75 years old grew up in the Cold War years. That is what the MAGAts

want a dictatorship as long as it is their dictator.

[MarineCombatEngineer]

10. Then he does know and shame on that POS.

9. Thank you for posting this!

There are some VERY vocal proponents (keyboard commandos) of sending our young folks to die. I say put up or shut up! With that being stated...IF Putin moves on NATO, then all bets are off IMHO.

13. I am not in favor of sending kids to war

I have explored volunteer options and considered it. The article posted by Nevilledog I think yesterday about the Ukrainian Foreign Legion basically stated they can use you if you have prior military experience, but if you don't, stay home and donate to the cause.

I am critical that the US has not sanctioned Russian energy due to political expediency. I don't think the calculus of weighing democracy and civilian life in Ukraine versus the reaction to $6 gas at home is a valid choice. I know I will get blasted here because there are experts who know more than me making those decisions and I really DGAF.
