Latest S2 Update on Ukraine

[Snarl]

Ukrainians are not running and I still believe arm them so they can defend themselves.

Just curious: Why is it, would one think, that the Europeans are not busting ass to do exactly that?

I was on the bad-guy side of the Berlin Wall twice during the Cold War ... once to Poland and once to Czechoslovakia.  The desolation I saw first-hand wouldn't properly register in my brain.  Even today it still seems like some kind of fantasy dreamscape out of a Tolkien novel.

And the people who came pouring across into West Germany when the wall came down .. they're still alive ... and they lived through that time directly exposed to what I'm describing.  Why aren't they throwing every bit of activism they can muster up to help their European brethren?

There is so much American manufactured military equipment stashed and cached throughout Europe ... no one reading these words could even fathom (unless they'd seen some of it themselves).  Pull it out.  Dust it off. Hand it over.  How hard is that?  Why does America even need to lift another finger.  All that stuff came from us already.
