I hate Russia.

The problem is the US is burning resources and the problems are getting bigger.

If you haven’t been paying attention, the US tried to organize a force to defend the Red Sea shipping lanes, and most of Europe said “Nah, we will just not ship to Israel. Not our fight.”

The border is open, pro pali riots are going on all over country, and we have states deciding the election because they don’t like Trump.

At some point, it can’t hold together. Just like the British empire declined, so is ours.

That’s true and surprises me immensely. If the Red Sea/Suez canal shipping route is not a Western European vital interest I don’t know what would be. Maybe they simply want Uncle Sugar to bear the burden, as usual.

Russia is not the paradise you make it out to be.

“The problem is the US is burning resources and the problems are getting bigger.”

Nonsense. So far everything Ukraine has received from NATO and the USA are things that were mothballed or being disposed of anyway. Like the 300,000 cluster munitions that were shipped to Ukraine from the Sierra Army Depot where they were being disposed of.

Ukraine has not received one single new system from us. Just our discards.

Not even close. The Red Sea is what connects Europe (and the eastern US) to most of the Middle East and SE Asia. Huge numbers of ships normally go through there; last time it was shut down from some idiot driving sideways in the Suez canal, it hurt trade pretty good for a while.

What Europe said was "Hey, you'll do it anyway so why should we spend money on it when these US can protect it for us? Also, half of us don't even have the military capability to help, so there is that..."
