Apparently roll over and die because that's asking Ukraine to do.

As an United States citizen, I will not fight & die (likely, it will be the latter) for and/or in Ukraine. I already told you this in the other thread. What is it that you want from America?

No need, the ukranians are doing splendidly in defense of their own country. They actually turn a bunch of foreign volunteer types away. Thought crossed my mind back when it popped off, but they don't need a broken old joe like me, and I've got too much I'm responsible for here. Not for nothing, we have alot of the same problems, anyway, just (marginally) less shooting.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

Considering Hitlers goal was to kill ALL the Slavic peoples i would say Hitler still the bigger dick here. Thus the idea his invasion of the Soviet Union was a good thing is very off.

It was a dumb move that helped the Allies defeat him while helping to keep Stalin, another murderous tyrant, at bay.
