It is costing us 150 billion to capture a mile, so to thief back Russian sovereign land they are claiming as Ukraine, it will take us approximately 4 quadrillion.

Sounds like with this spring offensive we would be better off sending Viagra versus weapons.

I know Putin loves me. Question regarding that, if I disagree with you.....does that mean your wife will call asking to spend the night?

Seriously, you can disagree with funding the war and not be a Putin lover, two things are possible....Ya listening nardog, or did you break your computer again

When you spend $100 bucks filling up your car and then drive a mile, do you consider that mile having cost you $100?

While being a pretty stupid way to consider it, it is technically correct that 1 mile cost you $100; however, By your reasoning, the 300 miles you go on that tank would cost $30,000.

At least we finally have a number. Turn on the printers and just give the Nazis all the money. I want this dumb shite over.

It's a sad thing that people are dying and having their world upended, but I don't believe we should continue sending my fricking tax dollars over there. At this point, America is only prolonging the suffering for those people by making it possible for them to continue fighting. If we would stop, they would have peace talks sooner. Ukraine will not "win". Biden is the absolute worst leader, he should have been trying to broker a peace deal.

How do you put a price on :

Putin's intent to be drive away NATO and Finland and soon Sweden joining and Ukraine firmly attaching to the West.

Putin claiming to be in Kiev in three days and his foolish propagandist still talking about going all the way to Lisbon while they can't capture Bakhmut after three months.

Putin wrecking his economy , GDP formerly the size of S. Korea, now scrapping to stay above the Netherlands, and becoming an appendage of China.

Worlds second greatest Army getting its arse handed to them as it deploys 1950's weaponry and has run out of uniforms and weapons for it latest mobilization.

Proving the Russian Air Force and Navy pretty much useless in a real world conflict.

This is this year’s first mud season in Ukraine.

Massive offensives are not possible. The fact that the Russians are retreating from areas they consider strategic doesn’t bode well for them when the fields dry allowing off road maneuvers.

But Russia can afford massive arse kickings and still win.

Time will tell.

Putin/Kremlin may not fully enjoy the way this war has gone from a military perspective, but I have to believe they have found joy in the amount of money/time/equipment they continue to force the West to shell out/spend.

You're an idiot. Your take is so god-awful, it hurts. Also, I've been to your country. It's a absolute shithole.

Check back in a few months. Way to early to tell either way. A few km^2 of area exchanging hands either way is not abnormal. Think 2nd half of a football game down 28 14 and u gain a first down. Russia went up 28 nothing but Ukraine got two scores before half.

I can understand it wanting money going to Ukraine but

But very few governments around the globe (including China) think it is sovereign Russian land…….

This just makes u sound like a Russian bot.

So by your logic....we do not have to spend another dollar correct, the 150 billion covers them for the whole war correct. Well am I correct mr smart arse?????

Or in your example you spent the 100 bucks....and your car has gone a mile......Im waiting.

You should probably go back to 4th grade and study reading comprehension again. Mr Dumb arse. Your 150B for a mile statement is one of the stupidest things I've read on the board in a while.

And all it cost them was every armored vehicle they have that was produced this century. Nice.


Oh and their biggest export sells are a massive discount vs almost every other producer.
