I think we can all safely agree on that. Russia is big enough to keep the heat on, and Ukraine is resilient enough to feel the burn for years.

And it's our money (and oil and guns) burning up in that fire.

When does this end? It's going to last a year or three at least. Maybe til Putin croaks.

Yes. We’re wasting billions of dollars when our own economy is in complete shambles. We’re trillions in debt and seemed to have learned absolutely nothing from Vietnam, Iraq, or Afghanistan.

Government allocates billions of dollars to military industry, who donates millions to super pacs of said politicians, and also hires former military leaders with enormous prices, who all work together to sell wars to extremely naive people who still some how trust state propaganda news. At this point if you haven't figured out...you never will because you are too invested in ideology over logic.

Draining our arsenal. Not very wise in inflationary times. The oil reserve is another issue that can bite us in the butt if the leases are not opened. Putin put the line in the water & Biden took the bait. Meanwhile China has the popcorn on & sitting back watching the comedy.

Even the New York Times is starting to admit that we know next to nothing about the Ukrainian military side of things, with our own intelligence agencies admitting that they are being kept in the dark.

The Ukrainian side is likely much worse than we are being sold on.

As long as Ukraine keeps things appearing on the up and up, they will continue receiving money and supplies.

Interesting take, as Russia is currently blocking exports of grain meant for China.

Ukraine is a bunch of Nazis where the Biden cabal launders their money, but CNN keeps telling me the Russians are the bad guys’.

I’m confused.

And I honestly don’t give a shite about this whole thing.

I fully anticipate many of the advanced weapon systems we are sending to Ukraine will show up on the internation weapons black market shortly.

What do you mean? Over the course of our time in VN, we had 3.1 million troops stationed there. That'll never happen in Ukraine. Maybe the Russians will eventually deploy 3.1 million troops in total to Ukraine. Does Ukraine have the manpower to resist that?
