    If I’m being honest, I don’t really feel like going back and forth anymore, it’s pointless. You’re free to think I’m wrong, I think you came across poorly and are wrong too.

    Neither one of us are going to change our minds and we’ve decended into responses with cut quotes and countless questions. Things like “I didn’t call them a drone I said they’d act like one.” It’s silly. There’s really no point in either one of us going back and forth, to do what? Are you really open to the idea that the war in the Ukraine is important, it doesn’t seem like it, and me spending time writing up response after response just wastes my time writing it and your time reading it.

    I hope you’re well man.

      Thank you, same. Yeah, I agree that continuing would probably not produce much and would be tiring for us both. Well, I don’t think I consider the war in Ukraine UNimportant, but maybe rather that our extreme involvement is just that, maybe too extreme. What really gets me is when I hear about other 3rd parties leaching off the support we are supposed to be sending to Ukraine. These are people stoking the flames getting people riled about our need to support Ukraine, but their only real agenda is benefiting themselves and constituents by siphoning of funds. That’s just one aspect…

      Socially, so many folks around here have such polarized opinions, and it’s crazy to me. Some of these are the same folks who didn’t even realize Ukraine and Russia shared a border a few years ago, but now they act like they are professors of the geopolitics of Eastern Europe. Anyway, let me not rant anymore…

      Thank you for coming at me straight, brother.
