Russia is nearly 30 times larger than Ukraine.
So its de facto Russia which is “mighty”.

Ukraine is comparatively a tiny place trying to resist a russian nuclear super power, which has now set its national entire national budget to 40% to pay for the war and Russia’s army invading in Ukraine.

Yes, you read that right. FORTY PERCENT! Russian taxpayers are probably not so happy...

Only socialist take others stuff. Thus, Russia stealing entire regions from sovereign Ukraine makes russia look like a good old Soviet entity, AGAIN. Kremlinists are thieves.
They don’t have any respect for BORDERS, typical socialist-style.

WE Republicans DO have the RESPECT for borders.
We want OUR borders respected and our allies borders respected.

Wars and rumors of wars are inevitable. The war between the two should only involve these two. I regret every single dollar wasted on Ukraine. A massive loss of life (on both sides) for nothing. A negotiated settlement from the start was the ONLY sensible thing to do. Donald Trump offered to broker the deal. The globalhomos nixed it. So this is where we are. The only winners are the people who profited off of it (and never engaged or risked war).

That was good, almost spilled my coffee. Thanks for the laugh.

“a russian nuclear super power, which has now set its national (Defense as a percentage of its) entire national budget to 40%”

Not only is Defense now a huge share of the Russian Federal budget (slightly lager than in the last Soviet budget, before the collapse), but the Russian Federal budget itself is an outsized share of the total national GDP (about half).

Additionally, other levels of Government, below the National level, are also spending more of their budgets to contribute to increased Military and Security costs.

All of that “Guns vs. Butter” spending is displacing more economically beneficial spending and investment. Much of it simply goes up in smoke.

A generation’s worth of economic advancement is being squandered, in just a few years.
