The *OFFICIAL* Russia Is About To Invade Ukraine Thread

Will it win the war or cause disaster? U.S. debates sending cluster bombs to Ukraine

While such a decision has been applauded by a bipartisan group in Congress, it raises the ire of some Democrats and human rights groups.

Russia’s been ****ing around for years and now for the last two they’ve been in the “find out” phase. We shouldn’t let them off easily. Give Ukraine clusters, F16s, and ATACMS. Teach this ******* country (and China to a certain extent) a lesson it’ll never forget. For far too long western democracies have been tolerant of Russia. We’ve looked the other way while they’ve invaded other countries, assassinated dissenters while living in our countries, or interfered with our elections. This has been a long time coming! I certainly hope western democracies don’t relent until every last Russian soldier leaves Ukraine.

Once again, Russia could always end this. They could leave Ukraine today and this would end. They could serve Putin’s head on a pike, leave Ukraine, and work to join the rest of us in the 21st century if they desired.

And it’s Russia’s army being ground into dust without a single NATO soldier engaged in the fighting.

Win win!

I wish President Biden would provide them with some longer range weapons. I get that there are concerns with Ukraine using them. Perhaps we’ve resisted providing them as some sort of bargaining chip with the Kremlin? Like, we won’t provide them as long as Russia doesn’t blow up a nuclear power plant or something like that? But I’d like to see Ukraine given much more support to end this war faster and retake all of its land.

To be fair, Ukraine is paying a very high price for their independence and for their land, too... but they chose that path for themselves last year and for the last 30+ years they've been choosing the path toward the west and towards liberal democracy and IMO the civilized world has a moral obligation to support them in their attempt to throw out the invaders as much as possible. I won't pretend to be some war expert and I don't know all the considerations that go into providing specific weapons at specific times, but yes, in general my opinion is that USA/NATO/EU should provide Ukraine with the means to defend their territory and expel every single Russian invader out of their country.

As a citizen of an EU and NATO country, and one of the countries that in the past was 'graced' by the Soviet sphere of influence, I can hardly find a more worthy cause for my tax money to be spent on.

Crazy how dismissive people are over death and destruction of a sovereign country by an oppressive aggressor, but have no problem lamenting the destruction of an AMMUNITION DEPOT of the invader that is used to destroy and terrorize the invaded country.

Don't do meth kids. Most modern meth is P2P meth and it can cause mental illness in weeks. You do a line, and it gives you energy but it does brain damage so quickly that it takes almost no time before you are a homeless man yelling at trash cans or going online to claim people are lamenting the destruction of an ammunition depot. It is seriously bad stuff.

‘I Don’t Know That I Would Even Call It Meth Anymore’

Different chemically than it was a decade ago, the drug is creating a wave of severe mental illness and worsening America’s homelessness problem.

Meth has changed, and it’s sabotaging Oregon’s mental health system

In the state with the highest rate of meth use in the nation, the drug is driving severe mental illness among criminal defendants at the state psychiatric hospital, and other patients are paying the price.

I agree that using using cluster munitions in a foreign country is immoral. I'm mixed on Ukraine using it to fight the Russian invasion.

One thing I think we are clear on though....... If russia doesn't invade then the cluster munitions dont get used.

Duh… I don’t think we’ve solved time travel yet, so here we are. Maybe we should deal in reality and not impossible scenarios. The US is committing war crimes with nord stream and now with sending cluster bombs. What is the point of “saving” a country that will be covered in uranium rounds and cluster bombs. The population in Ukraine will be totally depleted and those that survive will live in a hellscape of radiation and undetonated cluster bombs that will kill and maim children and civilians for generations.

Is it “moral” to win at all costs? Are you just going to shrug your shoulders when we start sending nukes?
 
If we were going to start arresting and prosecuting former presidents this is the kind of **** we should be prosecuting them for. Committing war crimes, escalating conflicts, creating enormous ecological disasters like blowing up nordstream, creating generational humanitarian crisis, etc. We have a president doing all of this, and we have a former president that started a freaking torture program, but we prosecute one for having documents at his house. How do people not see through any of this?
