[punch it in]

As i said more than once in my diatribe I, along with the entire world, is well aware that War is dangerous for a multitude of reasons including the cornered desperate people you are there to help.

But to take one guy, who seemed to think this was an excursion on a princess cruise line, or as you said, a character in a choose your own adventure book, - that got in over his head - and make it sound like the Ukrainians are lying, spreading propaganda, and using mercenaries as decoys is not painting a complete picture. Id imagine most going to Ukraine during a Russian invasion are not ad naïve.
Either way, the real danger is the Russians who don’t belong there.

If you were simply saying hey be extremely careful before you go to help Ukraine - well no shit? I do not parrot Rachel Maddow - i don’t even watch her - i form my own opinions- But your track record of calling Tucker Mr Integrity, and parroting hard right propaganda is not exactly ancient history- and it came across as - man these Ukrainians are unhinged so beware of them - because they are lying to and killing people by putting them in harms way- something Putin would clearly embrace - again if you go there thinking it is a choose ur own adventure book you are a moron - but the enemy is not the Ukrainians because some dipshit was surprised he didn’t have carte blanche when he arrived voluntarily. The enemy is Russia, and most going to help know exactly what they are signing up for. Not the other way around.
