mass55th—”LOL!! Russia’s sitting back, watching all the countries that are sending money and military equipment to Ukraine, depleting their own resources, and destroying their economies. Putin’s laughing his ass off, and rightly so.”

Which is it? Are the American, NATO, and our Pacific allies getting rich from increased weapons manufacturing and sales, or are we all just using up the ones we had in storage and not making new and better ones, leaving ourselves defenseless?

Do you think you'll ever know the truth under this regime? In this country, it's the politicians on both sides of the aisle that have investments in the military industrial complex, whose family members and friends have investments, as well as their big donors who are making money off the war.

For cripes sake, they can't even get anyone to join our armed services here. What does that tell you? Biden had to ask South Korea and Japan to send artillery shells to Ukraine. What does that tell you?
