Again you lie and obfuscate. The leftist/globalist, RINO, Democrat establishment supports throwing money at the corrupt craphole you worship, but most ordinary Americans do not. In fact, over 70% of Americans who identify as Republicans do not want another penny going to the child trafficking, organ harvesting, human trafficking, biolab and neo-Nazi militia infested sinkhole you adore.
You leftists and RINOs just love those terms "disnformation" and "misinformation," don't you? It's your code words for "facts and opinions I disagree with."
Now, here's a fact for you: The gay dancing freak you worship has offered the satanic "artist" Marina Abramovic an ambassadorship. As a "ordained UMC minister," as you've revealed on this forum, how can you support a "leader" who offers a satanic, anti-Christian freak a post in his government?
Except that non-support is exactly what Putin wants and needs.
Edmund Burke had something to say about this...
I don’t think so. Barring some miracle, Gaetz little stunt has probably given the House to the Dems in 2024, and sealed the Senate for sure. I can still hope Trump can beat whoever the Dems put up for President (I just don’t see how ol’ Joe will make it), but without either the House or Senate...
Hopefully the money for Ukraine has dried up for good.
This account went dormant in 2010 only to debut again on 9/1/23. Fess up troll.
Activity on that account went dormant in 2010 reappearing on 9/1/23.

Has to be a noob foreigner, or it would know Bush is not a name to conjure with around here anymore.
Why spend all our money on a border war in the Ukraine...
Even if you overvalue all the old weapons sent, in 2023 it's maybe 1% of the 2023 Federal budget.
why defend it with our last weapons and tax dollars until there is none left to defend our own country?
Ok, you've already been nuked on the bucks, as for weapons, lessee, what are we in worst shape on? 155 mm artillery shells? You do realize we have something like 5-6 million of those left "for contingencies" (like a big war with Russia and China at the same time), and worst case scenario is NATO (not even including the South Koreans, etc.) producing around 1 million in 2024? Russia claims to be able to produce 2 million in 2024, but, NATO's shells are more accurate and we have better "shoot and scoot" systems. That's a very big deal. By summer of next year Ukraine will be able to go toe to toe, and by this time next year it will be "advantage Ukraine".
HIMARS? I still can't find documentation that the US has sent over 24, we have around 500, and are still scheduled to receive nearly 100 in 2023 (overlaps the 500 a little), plus whatever production is being sold and shipped to allies.
Once we get into aircraft and ATG missiles, the NATO (mainly US) advantages / reserves are huge, and in the case of the US, as yet untouched. You really DON'T want me to provide links for the numbers. ;-)
The only real question is whether the American people have any toughness and grit left to them.
That poster may be many things but a noob isn’t one of them. The account went dormant in 2010 only to resurface 13 years later.
I don’t give a damn about Putin, I have no dog in this fight.
Are you an American citizen?
I believe many of them do given the fact that more than 70% of those identifying as Republicans don't want another penny going to the hyper corrupt, child trafficking, organ harvesting, money laundering, biolab-hosting, human trafficking craphole of Youcrayne. Those good Americans have held their ground in spite of the massive wall of globalist/leftist/Democrat/Republican-manufactured pro-Youke propaganda plastering the "news" and opinion outlets those "America Last" grifting scumbags control and direct.
And those 70% sure as hell don't want that small group of politicians, grifters and globalist dirtbags who are urging further involvement in the war to drag them and their families into WWIII.
What about the invasion of our sovereign nation at the border? What’s more important to you, Ukraine or America?
Of course she is. Just as are Biden and Harris and Blinken and Nuland and Schumer and Pelosi and Kerry and one or her go-to sources, retired general Ben Hodges (who endorsed Biden in the last election).
And as American as Mitch McConnell and McCarthy and Christie and Petraeus and Romney and....
Yup.
Thank you Rocco!!
One could have actually quoted the likely "The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing."
By itself, the quote from Brit Edmund Burke (1729–1797) seems apt to the moment and subject. Excepting he also observed:
“Whoever undertakes to set himself up as a judge of Truth and Knowledge is shipwrecked by the laughter of the gods."
“But what is liberty without wisdom and without virtue? It is the greatest of all possible evils; for it is folly, vice, and madness, without tuition or restraint. Those who know what virtuous liberty is, cannot bear to see it disgraced by incapable heads, on account of their having high-sounding words in their mouths.”
High-sounding words. Setting one's self up as a Judge of Truth and Knowledge....
The linguist Barthes advised that meaning lies over a large swath of text, and not in a mere excerpt. I think that observation apt.
One thing is certain. As one declares one's enemy evil, there will come no possible negotiation towards a settlement of a conflict, no diplomacy, and no dialogue. Ergo, as we watch conservatives being described by our own government in this fleeting moment as potential "domestic terrorists," we need observe that "virtue" is as Burke saw it, and that (to repeat and highlight) ---
“Whoever undertakes to set himself up as a judge of Truth and Knowledge is shipwrecked by the laughter of the gods."
I hear laughter in the moment. Sadly.
Amen...not one more penny. In fact, we should demand a refund. :-)
Yep.
The company you choose says much about who you are.
And about who you truly worship, no matter what you claim in public.
Then why are you on Russia threads 8 hours a day? Time to get a new hobby! Also, take some time for that head injury.
