do i need one?

your point is essentialyl if i dont agree with you on something or frick in my case even if i do but happen to point out the issue it a little more complex......we are all suddenly democrats.

i already said 1000x, i dont want the money to be spent in the first place. i dont get to make that decision.

its also pretty much a fact that the roi on what we are spending in returns for destroying the conventional russian forces is a pretty damn good deal.

its like yall cant seperate emotion and look at things individually.

i never said this. in fact i have said for months now this war wouldnt and doesnt effect the normal everyday citizen 1 bit if we do not get involved at all.

somply point out that in the grand scheme of the world and geopolitics your way didnt work doesnt mean i wanted to get involved.

same as saying the roi has been good, i dont have to have wanted to get involved to aknowledge that.

The fact that you think Russia is a bigger threat to the USA than China says a lot about you and none of it is good.

so less than 5% of our defense budget, 0 american serviceman

to destroy more than 50% of russias conventional military isnt a good deal?

Yes, you do. Just posting "u dumb" because you don't like a post, kind of makes you appear to be the unintelligent one.

Actually, my point, as stated, is that funneling money to Ukraine, a conflict that is no business of ours, is a pipeline for corruption that is sent back to the uniparty in DC. And that the geniuses in the Ukraine thread that are so amped to go to war with Russia, are mostly the same leftists that loathe and despise the Bush/Cheney regime because of their pro-war stance.

quote:

For a nation that is bleeding money, facing a recession, possibly even a depression, and is led by a bunch of kiddie diddlers that have no concept of economic prosperity other than how much tax dollars is laundered back to them so they can then invest it in some lucrative insider trading deals; hemorrhaging billions to a nation that has ZERO chance of defeating Russia is delaying the inevitable. Sure, Russia will lose some of their economic wealth in having to fund their side of the war, but it won't amount to much considering they are backed by China, and their existence is good for China.

So yes, those cheering for the US to keep sending billions we don't have to Ukraine, are often Democrats. I can tell, because it's the same people that changed their facebook profile picture from Black Lives Matter, to "Vaccines save lives", to the pride flag in May, to now "I stand with Ukraine". They all tend to vote the exact same way.

if you suddenly beleive that most of the OT is liberal than you are dumb.

like i said, i agree with this. it was/is a european conflict that should have been handled by the europeans.

while i agree corruption is rampant and funnelled back to the uniparty, in this case most of our aide is in the form of military aide and hard equipment. if you want to see the corruption follow where the finicial aide is going.

100% agree

this is where you are wrong. they have already essentially defeated russia. russia will not take anymore land in ukraine. I am not sure if they give anymore up, but they wont take anymore.

is nothing but a house of cards about to collapse. hopefully the next president takes a note from the trump playbook and kills them once and for all.

A good deal would be Europe paying for this war. Because like you said, this war does not the lives of American citizens. At best it’s an interesting geopolitical event that is worthy of watching if you’re into this sort of thing.

I never stated we were. I stated, verbatim, " the geniuses in the Ukraine thread that are so amped to go to war with Russia".

quote:

I'm not debating the virtue of being jaded over bush/cheney. I'm pointing out the hypocrisy of being anti-war when Bush was in charge, but itching to get into a war now that Potato head is in charge.

Based on what? If one this can be agreed upon, most news coming out of Ukraine/Russia is propaganda being pushed by the globalists.

I'm pretty sure i separated the Ukraine/Russia conflict into plenty of buckets to make a decent post about the subject.

This. America has no business in that region. I would say we have no responsibility for what happens there, but funding Ukraine's war efforts puts us elbow deep in that entire shitty situation.

This article reads like every article Politico ran during the trump administration.

Unnamed, but super senior officials, are irate over what is happening in Washington and want to warn everybody that things are about to get ugly. But every quote just reads like cya by officials who have failed their constituents for years:

The fact is, if you look at it soberly, the country that is most profiting from this war is the U.S. because they are selling more gas and at higher prices, and because they are selling more weapons,

Or, if you look at it soberly, Europe has dismantled nuclear power, shuttered coal production, prohibited fracking and made themselves energy dependent on a once and almost Czar. A recent American president needed about 3 minutes to diagnosis this incoming train wreck.


it wasn't until Washington announced a $369 billion industrial subsidy scheme to support green industries under the Inflation Reduction Act that Brussels went into full-blown panic mode.

“The Inflation Reduction Act has changed everything," one EU diplomat said. "Is Washington still our ally or not?


So the article headline is misleading, and this is more about America doing what the EU does and putting up barriers to market entry for foreign products and subsidizing domestic industries. Turns out this article is really about the CHIPS act and the Inflation Reduction Act which are pretty America First-y and the blowback about to happen is more protectionist economic policies by Europe. This will likely lead to more inflation for all which is why I personally think both Trump and Biden are stupid for turning back the clock on free trade.

"The Europeans are discernibly frustrated about the lack of prior information and consultation,"

Seriously was this written in 2018? Am I MAGA now?!

People downvote in droves when I point out there is no longer any justification for our continued involvement in NATO. Here you go.

And I better never hear any of these easily manipulated dopes who fawn over Zelensky ever utter the words "military-industrial complex".

Wait until you hear how much money Zelensky is going to demand from the US for rebuilding Ukraine. Hell, we're already paying for their version of social security.
