Question About Syria

[barbos]

How is Ukraine a proxy war? It's essentially naked expansionism from Putin. I don't see anyone propping him up.

Now when US funds have stopped we have an excellent natural experiment with which to test your theory. My money is on that the Ukraine war will end soon, as a win for Putin

The Russian advance into Ukraine was stopped well before US arms rolled in. You might want to google 50 mile supply line into Kiev in your spare time.

But you didn't address my point. Korea was a proxy war. Vietnam was a proxy war. Yemen is a proxy war. For it to be a proxy war both sides have to be propped up. So I ask you again - who is propping up Putin?

Come on, everybody knows that Russian advance into Ukraine was stopped in 1943.

I find it hilarious that you all ignore each other
Typical.

Just you, mate.

Denmark.
That's why we have to invade Denmark and seize Greenland!

Fun fact. Denmark doesn't own Greenland. Greenland is an autonomous region. If USA wants Greenland they can just ask the Greenlanders nicely, if they want to join USA.

That's my last derail here

Fun fact. Denmark doesn't own Greenland.

Another fun fact: Denmark provides a block grant to Greenland that is equal to about 20% of its GDP.
It’s not like they’re not vested. Greenlanders would love to break free of that, but not by signing up to become third-class ‘Murkinz.

 

[laughing dog]

Another fun fact about Greenland is that it part of the Kingdom of Denmark. The Kingdom of Denmark is part of NATO.

 

[Politesse]

In the last few weeks, Trump has openly threatened war against at least four NATO member countries, so I'm assuming that's more of a perk to him than it is a taboo.
