Dear Mr. Ukranian.....

If you are a Ukranian, please share your thoughts with me, Paul Robison, about the situation in your country. Are you afraid? Will you fight for your country if necessary? I'm an American who stands with you, so please share your thoughts with me.
 
The Ukrainian community here (large) wants my country to wade in and fight :evil: My thinking is; if your so hepped up for Canadians to go and die for Ukraine, mebe you should get on a plane, pick up a Kalashnikov (lots laying about over there) and lead from the front. Ukraine is not my country ( Nor is syria, or Af-frikkin-ghanistan; nor is Israel...) A In a CTV interview yesterday, the Ukraine PM was working OT trying to convince the reporter that ' This is not a Ukrainian crisis, its a European Crisis,A world crisis! ' Comon! Choose up sides, get into the war on the ground floor! Jerk! I'd have punched him right in the schnozz and told him to get bent!
The really pathetic aspect of the Crimeian annexation is that this is not about 'protecting ethnic russians, where ever they may be', or the Naval installations- the Black sea is a puddle thats so easy to interdict naval forces in that it does not even count as an excuse. Really? You're going to try to run warships through the Dardanelles in war time? Give us a rest. 4 Turkish boyscouts with a 122mm mortar could close that off to Soviet- er, umm, Russian ships. Its about a big oilfield discovered off shore Crimea.
And the 2 players in exploiting(Profiting from) this strike are: Gazprom and (Wait for it...) Exxon.
Putin is a menace, you betcha. So are our own big cigar crowd. When a war starts, we the citizens are expected to join up and fight and die, while the fat cats are expected to get even richer working both ends and the middle for maximum profit. Frustrating.
And,yes; my maternal grandfathers family was from Ukraine.Do I want to fight for Ukraine? Cripes NO! If fact, I think its time for Canada to get the hell out of NATO and get seriousabout DEFENCE- real Defence; enough long range interceptors and interdictors and MPA's to defend CANADA, enough warships and submarines to deter aggression and defend our coasts. A robust Air Defence and ABM defence ( we don't have a lot of worthwhile targets, and few counter-value targets, so that's pretty feasible) Real Civil defence on the Swiss model. Stay with NORAD, but to hell with those cheese eating cuckoo clock winders. They can get serious and look after themselves for a change. Too much Canadian blood has been spilled to save the cojones of a bunch of inbred aristocrats and whinning socialists already. I think the US should go the same way. North America is wealthy, and we really don't need the european's problems, Cheese, or lousy IKEA furniture.We do not need middle eastern oil. Quit buying it,and let 'em mix the oil with sand and eat it. I am all for heavily armed neutrality. Quit buying dollar store junk from China.
Not that our bankers would let that happen, though. :roll: Perhaps the founding fathers should have insisted on the separation of State and Church and Bank....
 
^^^ i second this motion.

theres a picture i came across with Dorrie form finding nemo and the caption above the pic says "the US needs to mind their own business." and below the pic it says, "Oh look Ukraine was invaded the US needs to stop them."

My thoughts and prayers go out to Ukraine but, the US doesnt need to get involved. I feel US needs to focus on number one for awhile. They should make outsorsing illigal and start making products again instead of just buying crap from china.

Everyone knows what needs and should happen, but i can pretty much guarantee that it wont, and if it does ill eat my hat.

Agreed, we spend way to much money and focus too many resources on events outside this country. Time we start focusing inward imho.
