"The Ukrainian/Biden bleeding of Russia has sent a needed message to the Chinese, among others: You'd better be sure, you'd better be damned sure, before you start your own major war."

Yup! Best foreign policy deal ever!

And we can and should keep on "decimating" them as long as they like being "decimated".

If they get tired of being "freakin decimated" they can always stop invading their neighbor and stay in Russia.

Ukraine is currently sending senior citizens to the front line.

So?

Senior citizens can push a button and say "Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, Boom, OK. Missile launch, pssshng, poom!

Convicted felon and demented senior citizen Trumpy has already proved that several times now.

What does this sentence have to do with post #9?

Taken out of context bor much. But. It followed this sentence:

Senior citizens can push a button and say "Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, Boom, OK. Missile launch, pssshng, poom!"

If you can't figure that out how that relates I can't help you.

I mean, it can't be that hard to completely disgrace a filthy ------- war hawk if a drooling ------- pants -------- idiot like Donald Trump did it..

You lost me there. I know who the pants crapping idiot is but who is the F-in war hawk" in your scenario?

Nutty Yahoo?

"It's doesn't relate at all."

Sure it does. (And your funny bone is obviously broke.) Senior citizens make good cannon fodder, too!

And they can push buttons and go "Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, Boom, OK. Missile launch, pssshng, poom!"

And because they have more life experience they might even live a little longer than the younger recruits who have very little life experience.

Sorry that was too complicated for you to understand how it "relates". (Like the extremist things you say always "relate" to reality.

But then again you don't even know the definition of "genocide".

So that computes.

"UKRANIAN SENIOR CITIZENS ARE BEING CONSCRIPTED BECAUSE DONALD TRUMP"

Like I said troll.

So what? What are you trying to prove? That Russia is still invading and it's all hands on deck? Yeah we know that. And so does Ukraine obviously.

If twice impeached convicted felon senior citizen Donald Trump can run a campaign (twice even) then a country (and his mafia crime ring) all at the same time then seniors can go to war to save their country from foreign invaders.

I am a senior citizen and if maga maroons start a civil war here pretty sure I am gonna get some of that action. I would rather not as I have better things to do with my time. And while I may not have the youthful energy I used to have to be a spear for democracy I can certainly still be the shield of democracy.

"But my guess would be that the 25-year-old your comment cites may be a whole lot more proficient at using a joystick."

And my guess is that you would be wrong. At least about some of us.

Them young whipper snappers are always quite surprised after they find how how old I am and that I can actually play as well or better than many of them.

We boomers have been using computers and the internet ever since Al Gore and I invented the internet so ...

And since I WAS in the Marines you have to know that I have played Call of Duty. Often.

"I do not deny your experience, but I do ask, how typical is it compared to the youth of today?"

It's true. I am not typical.

There is no one like me!

I cannot deny that I am an extraordinary human with extraordinary skills.

I can play Helldivers2 like nobody's business.

That alien trash don't know what hit them when I arrive on their planet(s).

My fellow helldivers and I will rid them from the Galaxy forever!

For Democracy!

Those wars weren't marketed to Americans like Putin's invasion of Ukraine and Israel's invasion of Gaza.

No not "like". But differently. Pretty sure all (American) wars have been "marketed" to Americans.

It took years of marketing to get (trick?) (convince?) Americans to get involved in World War 2.

Even the civil war was "marketed".

Remember the Maine?

The yellow press, led by William Randolph Hearst and Joseph Pulitzer, proprietors of the New York Journal and the New York World, took every opportunity to inflame the situation with the exhortation to Remember the Maine', publicise the alleged cruelties of Spanish repression and encourage a belligerent hunger for action.

Marketing a war America is involved in, is different than Israel marketing their war to America.

Is it? And are we not "involved "?

Our taxpayer dollars definitely are. And we had to be "convinced" to keep sending it to them while thousands of "innocent" civilians are getting killed.

And Hamas was busy little bees doing the very same thing only the in the exact opposite trying to convince us THEY were the victims.

Only time will tell which "side" was more successful or more effective.
