What's this?

At 60 sans military experience, I’m not much of a candidate.

But that’s another bullshit distraction. I don’t favor direct NATO intervention and I think foreign fighters going there only escalates the conflict. One need not go there to fight in order to recognize who’s the aggressor spreading autocracy beyond its borders, and who’s defending their own rights to self determination.

If there’s a coward in this conversation, it’s the guy clinging to nonsense about Ukraine as a jewish-led nazi state, or requirements that anyone sympathizing with Ukraine’s plight go there themselves to fight. Instead of saying anything of actual substance.

You’re trolling, or doing what little you can to advance the cause of Russian aggression - only you know which. But that’s clearly why you got nothing but bullshit distractions combined with a little Russian propaganda in these discussions.
