---- "Some of us followed closely when this war started back in 2014, Ivan slaughtered the Ukies, refraining from gaining territory but instead drawing them in for a massacre…..just as we are witnessing today."

Small point. Ivan is Іван is Иван, depending on the alphabet.

It's interesting that the ArmcharWarlord -- an American X handle -- was picked up by a number of other sites:

A Dark Theory: Russian Strategy In Ukraine Before It's News, 31 August 2025

Same back-and-forth in comments, with more than two sides making their views known. Ukrainians good, Russians bad. Russians good, Ukrainians bad. Some more nuanced, and some less. A couple blame the whole shebang on Jewish bankers, as is so repetitive these days.

However one slices the proverbial cake, your observation seems rather apt. Attrition is showing, more and more as the days pass.

--- "The U.S. measured by debt ( $37 trillion- 128 percent of GDP) is the leader in debt...."

This is an important point. Here is a chart, one among many, comparing debt levels. We're "number one" today while that old WWII era is in second place.

Do realize we were on a Gold standard back then. We owned 20,000 something tons of Gold then……then came 1972, where France started redeeming their USD’s for zGold, draining us to our current publicized 8,100 tons….

….still waiting for Trump’s full audit of our Gold reserves…..hopefully not a failed promise….big, big money is waiting for a full audit….he stands to lose much support if he doesn’t.
