The fact of the matter is that not one NATO country has had its European territory attacked since NATO was formed in 1948. Not one. NATO countries have had their overseas colonies attacked such as Algeria and the Falklands Islands. But not their European territory. So it has probably been the longe...

Let's put the shoe on the other foot, and see if it fits: Imagine if the USSR had admitted Cuba to the Warsaw Pact at the end of the Cold War, promised to attack anyone that attacked Cuba, and placed nuclear missiles on our doorstep to guarantee Cuba would not be invaded by the USA.

Tide turned a long time ago, but they haven’t lost yet. I don’t expect Ukraine to hold out without boots on the ground from Allies. I think if NATO ends up in the Ukraine, then it's no longer a regional conflict and we might be looking at World War III. I don't think anyone has the appetite for tha...

These were tanks that were built and paid for decades ago and that have been mothballed due to downsizing. But th...

Here is some of our tax money, millions of US dollars, all wrapped up in rubber bands and being used as a bribe in Ukraine: No, actually it ISN'T. Did you even read the article you just cited or look at the date? Do you even understand what is being reported? It is an article from 2020 (2 years bef...

Most of it never left the US. It went to American armaments manufacturers here in the US who employed American workers to build the munitions that were sent to Ukraine. So some of it went to American workers in the form of salaries and benefits Some of it went to the communities in which they are l...

Here is my question: Billions of dollars gone, where is our money now? Who has our money? It is not in Ukraine. Who got rich off this "war"? It wasn't the people of Ukraine. Most of it never left the US. It went to American armaments manufacturers here in the US who employed American work...
