Holy. shite.

We can't afford this war. Could this may bring down the US? I mean damn... That allot of money being printed. It's causing inflation, shortages, infrastructure left crumbling...

Our debt is now greater than our GDP.

Can we outlast Russia and their new buddy, China?

Do we pull out and lose and war?

Remember this if you live in Louisiana and are stuck in traffic because they still haven’t built a new bridge.

American money has been pretend money for nearly a century. Might as well print like mad until the rest of the world figures it out.

Our national debt is now more than $200K per taxpayer.

We ain't giving them shite! They will be in debt to the U.S. forever. You idiots lack education that's the problem. Educate yourselves on the Lend/Least Act.

We are in a bit of a pickle. Either arm Ukraine to the teeth in hopes that they will kill enough Russians to make them quit, or....let Russia win and eventually have to go to war with Russia once they invade Poland.

It's either American money and Ukrainian blood or American money and American blood. What do you think is going to happen if Russia wins the war in Ukraine...stop? 100% Poland would be next

Why would they invade a member of NATO?

In order to understand this you must understand Russia's end goal here. They have been trying to re-establish their Soviet Union borders for 20 years. Every war Putin has launched has been for this reason. Ukraine is only step 4 of like 9 or 10. Re-establishing the Soviet Union borders isn't just for show. These borders provide key geographical strategic advantages. Russia would be 1000% more secure with these borders in place. Ukraine is just on the way to two of those key places

I dont think there is anything credible to think that was ever going to happen. That seems like fearmongering on the US side to scare peopel into preemptively doing something against Russia.

The US on all sides knew that meddling in a buffer state like Ukraine would instigate/force Russia to do exactly what Russia has done in Ukraine. People can stick their head in the sand, but the US needs to focus on the US and not this other shite half way around the world.

It's not. Just look at every war Russia has been in the last 20 years and ask yourself if it is to establish the Soviet borders. Russia was always going to invade Ukraine whether the US meddled or not. US strategy here is to bleed Russia dry and in order to do that Ukraine needs about 10 to 1 casulaties

Or we could have stopped expanding NATO and avoid the billions and the war.

Bingo. We should kick all the former soviet states out of Nato and just mind our own business on this side of the planet and if they die they die

The only thing keeping America afloat is US consumer spending. The rest of the world is very aware of what America is.

Arms built mostly in the 1980's and 90's not to be used again by the USA.

Of course not. We're broke with unfunded liabilities as far as the eye can see. Our currency is fading and in the process of being dumped as the world reserve currency. All the while Plugs keeps printing more funny money.

The only chance of saving this Republic, and it's a slim chance at that.....

Our politicians haven't figured out that Russia is waging an economic war or terrorism on us by persistently increasing our national debt. We no longer need to bolster Ukraine's economy and military hardware at the expense of our nation's welfare.
