When I hear we are spending HUNDREDS OF BILLIONS OF $$$ defending the democracy of Ukraine, I want to toss my cookies.
@jafo2010 When I see we are spending HUNDREDS OF BILLIONS OF $$$ channeling graft through the State Dept, the Defense Dept, and USAid while falsely claiming we're defending Ukraine, I want to toss my cookies
The endless lies about Ukraine are unbelievable. Ukraine, there is nothing democratic about it. It is a dictatorship! PERIOD!!!!!!!
Not even remotely true.
And if Russia seized Ukraine, it does not mean that Poland is next.
Of course not. Poland will kick Russia's ass just like they did in 1920. A bully like Russia wouldn't dare attack Poland. Besides, their current racist crusade is focused on ridding the world of criminal drug-addict Ukrainians. It would take a decade or more of propaganda to steer that racist schtick against the Poles.
Ukraine is NOT a member of NATO. Ukraine was NEVER and ally of the USA. NEVER!!!
This isn't about Ukraine. It is about Russia. It's no different from Serbia's war of "ethnic cleansing" (aka genocide) against the Croats. Serbia wanted their land, but didn't want them. So they took the land and killed the Croats living there. Russia is doing the same thing in Ukraine.
You can choose not to pick a side. That is your prerogative. But I can't live that way. I have a conscience. There is good and bad in this world. Right and wrong. And in this theater, Russia is both bad and wrong. This land belongs to Ukraine, and they have every right to live there in peace. And Russia is dead wrong to continue this war.
We need to end the mentality that every dead Russian is one less Russian the USA and its allies will need to contend with.
I would argue that Russia needs to end the mentality that every dead Ukrainian is one less Ukrainian who can make a claim to the land they are trying to steal. Besides, if Russia really cared about dead and dying Russians, then they would end their war today and high-tail their way out of Ukraine ASAP.
The Cold War is over, and only our military industrial complex wishes to continue that war, and make it a hot war.
I'm not seeing that. We're in no position to make it a hot war. And there is no way here for the industrial military complex to profit here since the DoD isn't replacing any of the equipment it is giving away.
We need to be smarter before we destroy the US Dollar completely!!!!!!
The pittance spent on weapons for Ukraine pales in comparison to the amount spent on other crap. We are currently running an annual deficit of $2 trillion. Every bit of that deficit is funded by expanding the money supply which devalues the dollar. The war in Ukraine isn't destroying the dollar. Far from it.
