I was worried that America wouldn’t piss a few billion in a pointless war this year
“For they have sown the wind, and they shall reap the whirlwind...” Hosea 8:7
40 billion in US Taxpayer cash for a bunch of criminals and scam artists in the Ukraine.
Zelensky and his gangsters will definitely get this cash into their offshore accounts as covertly as possible.
Only a fool thinks one single nickel of this stolen money will actually go toward “the war effort.”
And without any oversight!!!!
Where’s the money to complete the border wall?
Can they just pay off my house so I can retire in peace? Only a hundred kilobucks
An arms race against who?
Russia is completely incapapable of sustaining an “arms race”. Even China really can’t, not against a focused US.
Sheesh, Congress. What on Earth is wrong with this way of thinking?
A focused US? Hah, that’s rich. The traitors and dip $hits in DC are borrowing enough to float two entire new Ford Class carrier battle groups to be pi$$ed away in Ukraine this week. A “focused US” would have spent that money where the real threat is, China. You have to remember that this summer NATO increases its border to be defended by 800 miles as well. The Russians seem to be holding their own against NATO or are you one of the fools who’ve been lecturing me about Russia’s imminent running out of gas, ammo, tanks, food, spare parts and generals since March 1. We’re arms racing with the Russians to the tune of $20B a MONTH, and that doesn’t even include the dark money billions. Reagan spent the Soviet Union under the table. My grandchildren aren’t willing to borrow the Russians under the table. A “focused US”, that’s the most ridiculous statement I’ve heard in a while.
Nato increased its border, but added no new enemies. Russia added new enemies, AND their own border was also increased.
They don’t have $40 billion to help homeless vets, but they have $40 billion to give to Ukraine, where no doubt much of it will be siphoned off by corrupt politicians. (CoughHunterBidenCough)
Certainly not going to help the inflation. And as for handouts, we outta stop them all, and had the lunatics running this country not shut everything down over covid……well we would be in a lot better place I submit.
We are seeing shortages all over the country, but apparently there are no paper or ink shortages at those dollar bill printing presses 😀
Men and equipment, yes. These are running out. Their current cadres are limited and are taking heavy casualties in Ukraine - all those dead colonels? Consider them proxies for all the dead majors, captains and lieutenants. And that does not measure the wounded, sick and worn out. They have never even tried calling up their reservists in the last 20 years, they have no system for mobilizing them. They dont have the cadre for them anyway.
They have very limited capacity for new construction. There are no great tank factories anymore. IIRC last week their one factory celebrated building 50 T90M’s this year. Consider that situation across the gamut of military equipment. They are living off accumulated resources, and are losing vastly more than they can replace.
Russian equipment stocks are all Soviet stuff. If they try rearm with these things they would have a 1985 army to fight the rest of this war.
Russian equipment and abilities displayed so far are underwhelming.
Yep we are so in the hole won’t argue that!
Yeah, yeah, yeah, the same hopeful disinfo. The exact, verbatim, trash I’ve listened to for ten full weeks. The bumbling, ill equipped, ill led, ragamuffin paper bear that has depleted NATO supplies to the point of provoking Xi and after tens of billions already blown, 40 more billion to clean up the remnants? Give me a dang break! The pentagon boobs even admit our commitment is open ended.
Your POV is rather odd. It comes, perhaps, of the difficult conditions you work under in the troll farm, or perhaps your supplies of alcohol are over-generous. Its hard to imagine Russian management being over-generous, but that my inexperience on these matters showing.
Anyway, the whole thing is now obviously a dogs breakfast, on the Russian part. Its even worse that the Russians have been fighting only a “ragamuffin paper bear”. Its really very careless, at least, to mislay a thousand tanks and other equipment in proportion, while failing to defeat the “ragamuffins”.
I detest our leadership more than anything else in this world. All who voted for this should rot in hell!!!
What is sad is seeing people like you carrying the water for the very people who hates us. The left loves useful idiots such as yourself.
Thieves
Pretty trashy talk for a guy toting your big guy’s water to this quagmire. I really get tired of you hybrid neocon, Biden stooges.
