There was a "guest essay" today in the New York Times urging the US to increase arms funding to Ukraine.
The Times failed to mention that the organization which employs the author of the essay is funded by Lockheed Martin, Raytheon, and BAE Systems. This is typical. https://www.nytimes.com/2023/01/01/opini...ticleShare  RE: Russia and Ukraine

In fact that's far to polite a term to use for Putin.

Invading other countries under any pretext can be ok? Is that what this moron is trying to say? Someone please enlighten me.

I'd love to see us send more and better arms to Ukraine ... and I don't work for any defense contractors.

Oh, that's right: Yes, seizing government buildings, declaring yourself a sovereign entity, and declaring war against the state you just did that all in justifies a military response. This may surprise some americans, given our own recent experience. OFC, that's all moot now, as russia gave up even the pretense of any popular uprising of independent states. There is no ukraine, no such thing as a ukranian, let alone ukranian history or language or culture. Only russia forever...and, apparently, forever getting smaller waging a war against itself.
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!
