For those of you who contacted me hoping for a debate, here are some points I would have made.
(These are my views, from my research. I encourage you to do your own research. Although most seem unaware, the war machine is in full swing, and it will be hard to nail down the truth.)
Russia was baited into Ukraine by NATO. And the moment that happened, Dwight Eisenhower’s Military-Industrial-Complex won. The war is the victory.
Ukraine will not win this war, nor did NATO countries ever expect Ukraine to win. Again, the war is the victory. Most of Ukraine has already been turned to rubble, and it will continue to be turned to rubble and folks will keep dying until a negotiation is reached.
There have been several peace agreements on the table. Boris Johnson killed one on behalf of NATO and the Biden Admin and other NATO reps killed others. Russia is rightfully demanding Ukraine not join NATO, that is the one thing driving all of this for Russia. For Russia, it’s us and NATO breaking our agreements (like we did with the Native Americans) and encroaching on their territory and threatening them existentially. They are correct, that is exactly what are war-making country and the NATO countries are doing.
The missiles NATO/Biden put into Poland can be refitted in 8 hours, they then can reach Moscow in 7-minutes. I would absolutely call that an existential threat from Biden and NATO. Would we accept Russia deploying missiles in Canada or Mexico that could hit D.C. in 7-minutes? Absolutely not.
The above is only one of many example of many examples of the United States and NATO violating the terms of their agreement with Russia, encroaching on Russian territory, and threatening them existentially.
Though the reason the Saturday sign people should be along HWY 101 protesting this horrific U.S.-led war should be on humanitarian grounds, that it is simply wrong of us to be funding the mass-murder of Russians and Ukrainians, here are some economic reasons to protest:
Biden has spend 100-billion dollars on the war.
With the upcoming elections on folks’ minds, how about this: Biden has spent 100-billion on the war so far (billions more for ‘reconstruction’ will follow), that equals $200,000,000 for each Congressional district in the entire Untied States of America. (there are 400+ districts).
Seriously, when we need money for schools, rec centers, roads, emergency services, health centers, why did we just spend 100-billion dollars murdering Russians and Ukrainians instead?
This is a more violent war than Iraq, it is more dangerous as Russia has tons of nukes (nukes they do not want to use, but if we keep it up, they might.), and has already cost 25 times more than the Vietnam war. This is a proxy war that is about to lose its proxy status. That mean World War Three.
300,000 Ukrainians have died, 80,000 Russians. For the number of maimed for life, displaced, orphaned, simply multiply those numbers by (war).
I could go on and on and on about the geopolitics of this, of the history, of where the war-monger elite are planning to take the conflict. There is so much here with respect to the history and context of America’s latest war, it could be a semester-long college class.
Instead of going on and on (a debate would have been nice but now I’ve showed too much of my hand), here is a link to an outstanding film by Oliver Stone, “Ukraine On Fire.” It’s banned on Democrat-run YouTube, so you gotta find it elsewhere, and this should work:

And if you missed this treasonous chess move from Biden, here is info on Nordstream. For those who don’t know, Sy Hersh was key in stopping the Vietnam War with his Mi Lai massacre reporting. He is the most revered and famous American journalist ever.

I’ll look for the Saturday sign people.
It would be great to see some anti-war protesters around here.
