The US Government is sending a further $800 million in military assistance to Ukraine to help in the fight against Russia.

I am sitting here in Salamanca (lovely, go if you can) just a few steps over from the home of Miguel de Unamuno, the great philosopher. His “tragic sense of life” is apt, now as always.
It can be summarized, I suppose, as “suck it up, buttercup”. In a philosophically rationalist but-not-quite form of course.
Given that, they just brought me a very second rate sidra, emphasizing that tragic business.
Serbia was bombed by NATO, there was no invasion, no ground troops used.
They were bombed into submission and agreed to withdraw their military from Kosovo.
Attack on Serbia achieved the goal of preventing Serbs commit ethnic cleansing of Kosovo Albanians.
Attack on Libya was an illegal aggression on a sovereign state. It was not an invasion but air force campaign.
Euro-peons as their leaders treat them are hardly in any position to complain against the corrupt Satanists ruling most of Europe.
Neither are we at the moment.
We have our ways of moving weapons to make it look as we are not moving weapons.
We need to stop spending. Especially on the borders of other countries when our own is pourous and we are suffocating under record inflation and faced with food shortages.
Americans are not in favor of another US war for a border that isn’t ours. We are tired of burying our own for the elitists Risk game.
I don’t put the blame on Ukrainians, I put the blame on an illegitimate US regime of prolific criminals.
“Suck it up buttercup”. That’s it?
That’s all you have for me? I’m buried in BS and you send me another truckload of Confucius Confusion.
If only you had said, “Life is a banana.” I might have seen the hidden wisdom. Instead I think a truck caravan is already on the road.
You dont need an extra cent to fix your border. Its all a matter of policy, Trump proved that.
You wont fix your bad leadership by complaining about aid to Ukraine.
You are American, its up to you to fix your leadership and your border. Ukraine has nothing to do with that.
Yes, and the rest of the world needs to take care of their own and quit letting other countries engage them in activities that are not productive or peaceful.
I wouldn’t even call the US the police of the world anymore. We are a soon to be ruined nation pimping for the WEF/NWO agenda at the expense of humanity.
Anyone in the way gets canceled or crushed.
$800 million = cost of 1 slava class warship such as the Moskva.
Pretty much, yes. A non-Christian take is that of the Stoics, Epictetus and Marcus Aurelius. It would be an interesting seminar topic really, Unamuno vs those guys. Unamuno was a prodigiously educated fellow - he was the rector of Salamanca after all.
Confucius was not in the least confusing.
I recommend a course in Confucius to everyone. He was dogmatic but perfectly clear.
The so-called WEF-NWO agenda is pathetic vanity by a clique who like to pretend they are on top. They arent, really. One bad day in real life (as in Russia invading Ukraine) upsets their plans to h*** and gone. Now they are all scrambling to adjust their great vision of the future to suit. Its as if God has a sense of humor.
And why they're not deployed on our own southern border as deterrence.
Inquiring minds 'n all that.
“ Gee, you must be a close Putin advisor to know such information.”
Wouldn’t say close because he always made me sit at the far end of a table.
everything is, so far, working out as planned...
goad and then enable the Russians and Ukranians into bleeding each other dry
with billions of weapons contracts, profits of course.
after which, the EU (aka Fourth Reich) will move in as an “humanitarian” measure. Verily, there’s very little genuinely new under the sun.
Confucius may be clear to the enlightened which I make no claim to be.
So you, transformed, and I, confused as ever, go our separate ways. Good luck and good life.
Nazism,a state bars on national superiority complex, with a supreme leader, with corporations under control by the state, with a budget of greater than 25% spent on military, and with constant attempts to conquer neighbours.
That describes Russia under Putin.
As recent statements by Medvedev show, the new Russian definition of nazi is anyone who opposes being assimilated into Russia
