    The level of sheer selfish ignorance you display is incredibly shocking. But not unsurprising for someone clearly as blinkered as yourself.

    For the price of some asinine trip to bumfuck Idaho you would allow an aggressive megalomaniac to achieve his goals? Do you really think he will stop after Ukraine, if he can get away with it?

    You best believe that it is in your interest to keep Putin from winning this war. Or else you will find that a bigger problem waits for you and yours in a few years.

    Appeasement only makes an aggressor more aggressive. You need a history lesson more than you need some holiday money.

      He couldn’t handle Ukraine before the aid even started flowing, any American concerned now that Russia is a threat to the US is bonkers. The selfish ones are everyone in Europe who thinks the US needs to help Ukraine at all. There’s no reason the US should be out spending the entirety of Europe combined.

        Look at fucking Generalissimo Armchair over here would ya.

        You are the fucking selfish one, so stop projecting.

        I’ll give you a real good reason you Trump Chump. It’s called maintaining the Status Quo, in which the USA is the largest and most powerful economic force on the planet. It is in your interest to prevent nations from destabilising that because it improves the likelihood that your redneck arse gets to keep existing.

        And inb4, yes Ukraine falling to the Russians is massively destabilising.

        Is that a selfish enough reason for you?

        Or if that doesn’t work, how about this, go read a history book and see how it plays out if we don’t support Ukraine. This was how the last fucking world war started. Only last time Poland was the first domino.

        You deluded fucking clown, you would rather a $1000 for a god-damn ski weekend over helping to prevent a nuclear armed Russian from marching, once again, over eastern Europe.

          Yep, I want my ski weekend. Europe is perfectly capable of preventing a nuclear armed Russia from marching over eastern Europe without my $1000. If Germany started marching all over Eastern Europe again, I might get slightly concerned.

            You are either a massive fucking cunt or a pathetic troll.

            And the fact you can’t afford a $1000 holiday and want a government handout for it shows you are a fucking lazy failure as well.

            Get fucked muppet.

              Oh I’ll have my ski weekend, multiple of them every winter no matter what. It would be really nice to get a tax return for once in my life since college. Oh! and watch the language little one, we are trying to be adults here.

              Europe can handle Russia without a single dollar from the U.S. that is a fact like the Sun rises in the East. Until you can admit that, cope and seethe I guess.
