Well at least on Twitter it's 99 to 1 negative. Most people think they and their domino theory are nuts.

This characterization of Austin’s remarks is 100 percent not true, acc to two sources who were in the briefings. Austin warned that it is not hyperbole to say Putin won’t stop at Ukraine. If he enters NATO territory US troops could be called to fight; cheaper to fund Ukraine now.


Uh, it is absolutely hyperbole to suggest that Russia will keep going. They are weak af, and they have no shot at even taking all of Ukraine. End this senseless war now.

“It’s nice to have a family. A man should take care so that nothing happens to them.”

Frank Nitti / Lloyd Austin







These guys are straight up mobsters now. They aren’t even trying to hide it.

If the money dries up, I have a feeling they are afraid about what might come out of Zelensky’s mouth

He's always been a clown. He gave a speech at his retirement about just going off to sit around at the barber shop or something like that, telling stories and hanging out with friends blah blah blah - what he actually did was shop himself around to the MIC to figure out a landing spot so he could shill for the MIC and further degrade our nation. Flag ranks are full of people like that.

fricking a-hole can send his family.. frick that.

Whether semi intentional or not.. this war shows very succinctly that Russia doesn’t have the ability to successfully win ground and hold it against a capable defense.. give them the out and be done with it but that’s not what the money makers desire

This is such bullshite. Show me one military analyst that says Russia has the means and intent to successfully take a NATO country.

You won’t because Putin can’t. His military is wrecked for a generation. They’ve spent their treasure and blood in Ukraine.


I go a step further and say I don't think Putin is interested in the rest of Ukraine. He wanted to prevent NATO in Ukraine and help the Russian speaking folks in the north who were being killed by the Nazi Ukraine military. Those people wouldn't mind living under Russian rule, while the rest of Ukraine would.
I believe he hasn't attempted to go any further because he doesn't want to.

Auburn master’s degree in education (seems about right). Not only is he an alum, he ‘represents Auburn’s best’ according to former president Jay Gogue.

“Gen. Austin represents Auburn’s best in leadership, commitment to excellence and service to others,” said Jay Gogue, president of Auburn University. “We know he will serve our nation with distinction and honor just as he has done throughout his career.”

I don't care if Putin takes over all those countries that is their problem to deal with not America's!

I used to be totally opposite but after 30 years of wars these assholes sent our solders to die for no GOD DAMN reason I am done with it. Tell me one thing we gained by fighting wars in Afghanistan and Iraq? So unless we are attacked on American soil I say NO to sending our troops to die for nothing.

Oh an then throw in the fact we are being invaded every day at the border and these fricking politicians do nothing about that just proves my point more that they don't give two shits about us and it's only about power and money.

Let him be the first to step on Ukraine soil and risk his worthless life before any U.S. troops are deployed.
It's shocking that no Democrats are pissed by this statement from the idiot in charge of our defense.

So pay now with your money, or pay later the blood of our children.

Is that what he meant to say?

Because that’s what he said.
