Pyrrhic victory if they end up a husk of a country with no males living between the ages of 16 and 50 then lose anyway.

Well, I'm sure it's a good thing for Russia that hundreds of thousands of her military-aged men aren't also fleeing Putin's mobilization efforts. /s

“In a sane world and government - - “

That’s the key to the problem, lack of sanity. Seriously, it’s gotten to the point that mutilating children into a fake sex is government approved while our southern border is literally being overrun by illegals.

Liberalism is a mental disease, and as long as they are in charge there will be few sane decisions at any level.

We have a dementia ridden President that is a pervert himself that is now proving to be one of the biggest criminals in office ever. While in the meantime one of our best Presidents is being hit with one fake charge after another. Is this sanity?

Will the Americans hold anyone accountable? I seriously doubt it.

That’s one thing trump should be discussing is his ability to keep us out of stupid wars. I believe Putin would not be in Ukraine if he were president. North Korea wouldn’t be sending up rockets every five minutes. But trump uses his time to complain about Sarah huckabee sanders or whoever pissed him off that day. I don’t get it.

You plainly do not get it. Russia is sitting on territory involved in 90+ percent of the GDP of the former hohonazi state. Russians do not have to go out in the field hunting hohonazis; the hohonazis have to come to them. Russians can just shoot them when they do...

Well, the only way we are ever going to start getting this crap straightened out, is to insist on the truth.

Cheers!

In case you didn’t know there is a major war going inside Ukraine and the USA continues to supply arms to Ukraine and telling them to go fight or the arms will be cut off and any prospect for negotiations are not acceptable

So long as that continues to happen Ukraine will continue to be destroyed until they’re no more Ukrainians left to fight

“Why is it that in the last few years I have been convinced we have the dumbest general officers in DOD ever?????”

I have a cousin who attended West Point and made a career of it. Thirty two years. He told me he saw the current state of affairs coming long ago. Reagan respected the military and wanted good leadership from top to bottom. Then came the Clintons who hated the military. Officers had to be of the correct political bent to get promotion. The Obama years put that on steroids. Promotion is by boot licking and politics.
He privately told me that the upper command in the military now wouldn’t have lasted during the first half of his career, they would have been pushed out or given dead end postings. In his opinion the current leadership is the bottom of the barrel but they play the political game well enough to survive.

"...If Russia would have mind their business..."

Russia

IS

minding their own business, and doing a commendable job of it.

“Russians can just shoot them”

The I hope the Russians enjoy the cluster munitions they’ve been treated to over the past day or so. Hope plenty of them survive with dreadful and permanent injuries so they can go home and show the people at home what happens when Putin sends their sons on imperialistic wars of conquest.
