Never seen the show, but the film (which is great) is available to rent on Amazon...Recorded the movie off cable.
Never got around to watching it before the Media Center PC died.

what we have learned from history, is that, we don’t learn from history

I agree
whoever said “violence never solved anything” was an idiot.
Heinlein put it best when he wrote:
“Violence, naked force, has settled more issues in history than has any other factor.”
In Ukraine right now, it’s easy to identify where to inflict the violence.Its harder to tell we’re to direct it in the USA right now so it will do some good.

Not sure if your serious.
Russia feels they have a reason to invade.
Ukraine feels they have a reason to stop them.
Violence ensues.
They will kill each other until a solution is worked out.
Its a story as old as time.

China is pretty close.
Check out the weigers
Organ harvesting slaves for profit is pretty messed up
And it's been a well known thing for YEARS. Probably well over a decade. And zero people seem to really care about it.
The Uyghurs get put into the classic "untochable" category by people. Asians? Yucky. Don't look like me! "Chinese?" They're communists! Muslims!? Terrorist's!
So, they fall into the perfect shit storm of demographics. There arent any pet racial equality groups who care about Asians, so the liberals don't give a shit. If they were black theyd have a fighting chance. They're already considered Chinese by people so that's a big negative. And the communist thing isnt helping either. So it's best to close ones eyes and pretend it's not a thing. blah blah blah blah! Cheap stuff from China please!

No one cares, it’s all about UKR. You don’t see westerners lining up to fight for Ugandian brides.

Oh I can't wait to see the joke replies to this post....
Does anyone else see the hypocrisy and irony in this thread? I see some amped-up white guys who want to go to Ukraine to save some pretty, white damsels in distress.
How many innocent black civilians have died as collateral damage during the war-torn history of the African continent? How many of you guys were eager to sign up to fight for one of their corrupt governments and save some black people? You were content letting the UN enjoy a monopoly on raping and pillaging there.

Jimmy Carter criminalized going over to help and called everyone back. Today it's ok to go shoot Russians.

Not really .
Just you trying to paint everyone here as racists.
Not painting people here as racist -- just the politicians and media whose propaganda is so effective in influencing outsiders to go fight in Ukraine. Ukrainians apparently are sympathetic victims -- unlike the Africans.
I don't believe Americans should have gone to Africa either. Just as in Ukraine, we have no strategic interest there.
I'll just leave this here - it speaks for itself. From yesterday's WSJ:
Most Democrats Say They’d Flee, Not Fight, a Ukraine-Style Invasion

To be honest, I believe if Trump was still in office there wouldn't be a war. The Biden administration has been pushing for this war. Look what the democrats have done in just 14 months, they did what no other country could do, they brought this country to its knees. Who here really believes we're going to make it to 2024? If in the next year the democrats don't drag us into a world war, the end result will still be the same because there will be nothing left. Make no mistake about it, this is Biden's war. Putin is only doing what this administration wants him to do.

American and Australian mercs fought for Rhodesia during the infamous "bush war" there against Mugabe and his Communist-backed guerrillas. Fighting for a foreign government can result in U.S. citizenship being forfeited. No thanks. Too much risk for whatever small potential financial gain.
