Is it as obvious to anyone else, how the world continues to view people of color and that we are only considered when they want to use us! fb.watch/bOd9jwhW-H//?d=n&mibextid=wb8uHgQ1fo7qV9Qc

If Russian is allowed to invade Ukraine without penalty, what would that empower them to do next?

Russia is showing aggression in other African Nations using Militia’s, and it’s not published, But my point to the title is openly the racism for people of color is and how it’s perceived to be okay that they are used as bullet stoppers, disallow them safety, until the Caucasians are safe. They are being told to come to America and they will be given reparations!

This is where I challenge you to try and make more coherent statements. Not really sure what you are getting at.
You asked if we should care if Russia attacks Ukraine. Are you suggesting that we should not care?
Please speak plainly.

i care about russia’s aggression against ukraine only because i care about "innocent lives" being killed anywhere on earth. i think the usa's invasion of iraq "the 2nd time" was unjustified and just as bad as russia's invasion. they both resulted in "innocent lives" being killed...

War typically reveals a multitude of issues and inequities. Treatment of people of color and the less privileged is one of them. That still doesn't negate the overriding issue of a madman trying to take over the world and threatening to use his nuclear arsenal if necessary. We should all be concerned.

And chemical weapons also...

I don't care if the Russians invade in their own neighborhood as long as it doesn't cause an all out war. When I heard all the reports of Russia attacking civilians, I thought about all the civilians the US has attacked from the Vietnamese to the Iraqis. Hell the US has killed way more civilians than the Russian and nobody tried to stop them.
I'm no Russian lover but I understand this is all about power and Black folks have no dog in this fight!

Should be concerned just in case the unfair Draft System is reenacted.

Of course we should care about Russia's aggression into Ukraine , and as some have mentioned we cannot overlook our transgressions around the world also. On a side note as a retired Marine I am not at all impressed with Russia's military ,to claim to be a so called "military super power" they are at best a third rate military power . As a prime example the US was fighting 2 wars ,both IMO were unjust ,uncalled for ,in Iraq and Afghanistan half way around the world for about 20 years ,at the same damn time ,and we were able to sustain our troops with whatever they needed .Contrast that with the fact that Russia is fighting a war right next door to them and they can't keep their troops supplied with the basics ,fuel for their vehicles and food for the troops.The only way you have a 40 mile convoy is yo azz done run out of gas, nothing strategic about dat isht .Just like we did in Kuwait during operation Desert Storm with that Iraq convoy trying to leave ,we killed everything in that mug ,it was dubbed 'the highway of death" . They don't seem to have a proper chain of command ,and the way they are bombing civilains is and act of desperation ,as is the threat of using nuclear weapons .

The Russian consulate said in an interview with CNN that they could use a nuclear weapon if they perceive an "existential threat" to Russia. What the hell does that mean?

It means Putin has taken a page out of the Kim North Korea playbook.
Threaten war and nuking until you get what you want.

Putin Tang tried the Blitzkrieg strategy move from Adolf Hitler's Playbook when he/ Germany invaded Poland to regain lost territory that Germany had to give up in the Treaty of Versailles in 1919 . But unlike Poland the Ukrainians decidedto Fight Back , something that was not expected when your dealing with a Bully . My opinion is that Pu-Tang and his threat to use nuclear weapons will never happen because he will be assassinated by the Russian people or the military before they will let it happen because they have just as much to lose as we do . Yes the United States has had a hand in causing civilian casualties in conflicts that is the price of war and something that is indefensible. But we have never destroyed or attacked Good Faith Corridors or Convoys which that Iraq convoy was not .
