The first casualty of war is truth. America is a very different culture than the Ukraine. The history of the Ukraine is much different than American history. There is a lot of reason for the people of Ukraine to dislike Russia, Stalin’s bitter harvest that starved 6 million Ukrainians etc. So when an appealing figure such as Vita Zarverukha appears and is promoted be aware that there maybe much more to the story. I think Ukraine should be independent and was guaranteed independence and sovereignty by turning over its nuclear weapons. That said don’t be surprised if the Ukraine doesn’t turn into the sweet little Democracy America hopes for. There are at least two Nazi brigades in the Ukraine Army. Elle magazine rushed in to pump Vita as a “Joan of Arc”, and got burned. I do not fully understand the totality of the Ukraine political land scape and I want to leave that to them. I do want the Russians out, period. I do not want US troops there, period. I really don’t think many Americans understand the Ukraine enough to favor the commitment of US forces. Biden saying we would respond in kind if Russia uses chemical weapons means what?
Ukraine's 'Joan of Arc' Vita Zaverukha.

Neo-Nazis are in Russia as well as the USA. Here in the USA they are huge supporters of Drump.

Their are fanatics on both sides ANTIFA, militants parts of BLM and others like the communist party of america support democrats as a means to and end. All sides have fanatics. Look at all sources the real truth lies in the middle somewhere. Both sides cherry pick info. The whole truth lies in the middle to truly make and informed decision. As I told my kids when they turned 18 and ask me who to vote for. I told them to make a list of 10 things important to you. Then look at each candidates platform to see where they say they stand. Then read ten articles with half being conservative and other half progressive to find out truly where each candidate stands then put check in for each of the ten things important to my kids. Told them it will never be 10-0 more like 6-5 or 7-4 and if it is 5-5 then flip a coin since it doesn't really matter. My kids now do this for every election and their friends are coming on board with it also. Sometimes it is easy to decide other times it is the lesser of two evils.

MAJ Roland McDonald - I agree, my point is there are things in play we are not aware of in the Ukraine. I simply don’t want American young men killed there. Ukrainians seem to be doing well, we don’t need to get involved. The Ukraine army has vastly increased the number of tanks they have by capturing Russian tanks.

MAJ Roland McDonald - *"There" are fanatics... I am curious; is English a second language for you?
I am glad that by the time my kids were 18 I was able to teach them how to make personal decisions for themselves. 18 seems a bit late to start that lesson.

A rudimentary understanding of the English language would tell you that saying we would "respond in kind" means we would use chemical weapons... That would be responding "in kind" ... but that isn't what Biden said, was it? It might be CLOSE to what he said, but it isn't what he said. You added something or someone added something for you and you repeated it. So given your challenges with rudimentary English and the nuance of language, I am wondering why anyone should trust anything you say or why you feel you have any credibility at all?
Update (3/26): It appears that Joe Biden did in fact say "respond in kind" which would mean the U.S. would respond with chemical weapons (which we would obviously not do). You were right and I was wrong and I owe an apology. Leave it to Joe to make such an epic flub. Not as bad as talking about love letters from North Korean despots or claiming a pandemic that has killed hundreds of thousands of Americans will "magically disappear", but in the same league. If I stand for anything, it is correctness and accountability, so I must say in this case, you were correct and quoted Joe Biden accurately.

LTC David Brown - "Seem to suggest"? Entirely speculative. Keep reaching and working on those English skills.

MSgt Steve Sweeney - gee maybe with your great language skills you can get the Biden administration to speak so people can clearly understand what Biden is trying to say. Journalist also believed U.S. troops were being sent to the Ukraine, that is why several sources wrote stories about Biden stating US troops would be in the Ukraine and the White House having to correct Biden.
