Ron Paul agitprop is as effective as our tax dollars being spent on Ukraine
Spending 100m on Ukraine has nothing to do with Ron Paul. Its a standard conservative position to spend conservatively.
Mind boggling, I know.

so let me guess we are involved
-protect biolabs??

I'm sure there's multiple reasons, corruption associated with more than just the big guy is one of them. That alone is far more believable than the claim of wanting to stop Russia from doing whatever they want. If Russia is as wrecked as you stated from this war, then they really weren't that much of a threat to begin with.

unemployment leeches
You're not a leech.
It's a forced insurance policy. You've been paying taxes for this all along. (Doesn't show up in your pay stub but it costs your company extra to pay you whatever amount.)

He’s acting like Ron Paul had some huge effect on political thinking. He made noise and made people uncomfortable but was ultimately pointless. Kind of like throwing good money after bad in shithole countries.

Unemployment is taxpayer funded?
Like I said, the neck beards need performative outrage. Let them have it. No one, absolutely no one, is not receiving unemployment because we are providing pre made munitions to Ukraine , and that’s leaving aside the hysterical hypocrisy of this place suddenly being pro- unemployment benefits. They know this.

A lot of people on this board love Putin. They are also the societal losers who want to get paid for not working.

I hate that for you and the OP. Keep y’all’s head up and keep grinding. Take you sometime to reset and resettle. I hope you do get away from the PAC NW.
I agree with OP that it makes my blood boil seeing how much we poor into Ukraine.
Yesterday I had taken a day off to run some errands. I live in the NW LP but very seldom have to go to Baton Rouge for anything other than passing through from time to time. I was blown away seeing that many able bodied adults (20s-40s) at the gas station in their fricking sweat pants sitting in their $1800 car with $10k rims at the pumps not getting gas. A bunch of lazy entitled, POSs. I point this out because just in case anyone forgot, even without the Ukraine bullshite, the government already wastes a disgusting amount of money. I’d rather our tax dollars take care of our own citizens like vets and actually disabled people but these other dregs need to be cutoff.

The Spanish American war, officially. But I mean...come on, we've been setting up puppet governments for the last 100 years, and we already conquered from sea to shining sea here.
What are we gonna do, annex the oceans?

The vast majority of our total spending has always gone to the military since ww2. The entire ramp up in spending was SOLEY to counter the communist nations, mainly Russia. We have Russia getting beat by a former vassal for an eighth of the annual military budget and now that's a problem?
Where was the complaining the last 70+ years of spending?
The return on investment will give us a weaker Russia. Take all the money spent on the cold War. Then look how objectively little in comparison this is.
If this brings about the end of the Putin regime it will be all worth it in the end.

if would be like us telling mexico or canada...turn over your nukes and we sign agreement to protect them and then turn around and invade them saying they didnt have a right to exist.
not denying we have done some dumb shite with invasion.
but vietnam and korea was to fight communism, like it or not thats why we did it
gulf war- not allowing iraq to do exactly what russia is doing now and were invited
afgan- 9/11- gratned the nation building was retarded
iraq- retarded again but we didnt try and annex them, just tried to nation build which is dumb

Maturing is realizing the gulf war, Vietnam, Korea, etc were probably necessary, as is a lot of the intelligence community putting around the Middle East and central/South America
