The difference being that here they had a great opportunity of joining a winning team.
But the new US government forgets to 'protect and defend the constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic'.
With America aligning with Russia and insisting Ukraine hold elections, Washington and Moscow appear poised to dictate the terms of a ceasefire, leaving Ukraine with little choice but to accept.
The title is click baity. The article doesn't say that today is like Vietnam and Afghanistan. It points out that in Vietnam and Afghanistan, the locals weren't willing to fight for themselves. Ukraine is more than willing to do the fighting, but they need help with the tools to do the work
And like Afghanistan, his thugs tried to talk Tymeshenko and Poroshenko into holding "quick elections". They are not the Taliban, but the felon is certainly trying to undermine another democratically elected government and the voters within it.
kurds in iraq. america is all talk and little action in the ideals it professes. we are not the shinning light of freedom and democracy and 1// the country elected a obese criminal orange wanna be dicitator
From what I have seen , I think Ukraine has RUS on the ropes. They are not making any territorial progress, and have been ceding ground in the Pokrovsk region.
Putin is likely promising DJT a pack of lies to get a cease fire.
Ok. So how would you react? Trump needs to see that there will be pressure coming back.
Doing nothing? Sitting back and wait until Russia attacked Europe and then the USA?
Good question. My answer so far is:
-Europe must become a power player independent of USA
-Europe must stop purchasing weapons from USA
- 1:1 tariffs
- Safe haven for US scientists and skilled labor
- Support “woke” initiatives in USA
- Litigate US on matters where international law is breached
Moreover, there are no American troops in Ukraine and Americans are not fighting against Russians in Ukraine, not like Afghanistan or Vietnam but more like Syria, which Putin was just bombing. Syria, where Trump cancelled the program to arm the Syrian opposition, simple betrayed all Syrians.
I regret using Vietnam and Afghanistan as examples regarding Ukraine. The South Vietnamese government was corrupt, undemocratic and not supported by the people (read Bernard Fall). Same for Afghanistan. Opposite of Ukraine.
Abandoning Afg and S. Viet was ugly but necessary.
Not like Vietnam /Afghanistan, where soldiers on the ground signaled a failed strategy. The decision to abandon Ukraine stems from Washington’s shifting calculus—an uneasy, unspoken alliance with Moscow. The speed that it happened was insidiously strategic to benefit Putin and expose Ukraine to risk
There is an important difference: The US left Vietnam and Afghanistan to parties in civil wars. Now it appears to be abandoning a country that is the victim of a criminal war of aggression waged by another country.
Well, STUPID RepubliCLOWNs (MAGA-cult 'po-folk' gullibles & a Gestapo of sycophant "richies") sELECTED a mentally ill CONVICTED CRIMINAL dumbA$$ LIAR as THEIR cabal DEMIGOGUE, and now that his SHIT IS HITTING THE FAN, they all want to wear their "SURPRISED FACE."
The US also invaded those places. The US hasn’t invaded Ukraine. Yet. Maybe by the end of the year it’ll join Russia and North Korea with troops. It wouldn’t surprise me at this point.
Everything Trump does stems from greed. Want to know what Trump will do in any given situation? Simply bet on his greed as his motivation and you will be able to anticipate his next move.
True. If I had to guess, Trump probably believes he acted
"Presidential" in his first term. To him, he DID hold back in his first term. To him, he DID restrain himself. NOW, after four years of everyone humiliating him and making fun of him, he will "make us all pay" for his hurt feelings.

Actually, abandonment might be better? ( if the current trend lines continue)

The majority of Americans are completely opposed to this, but he doesn't care. He serves only Putin now.
Even Nixon is starting to look like a decent president
He makes Nixon look like an ethical paragon of virtue and integrity.
