Senate OKs $40B Ukraine aid bill for Biden’s signature

Roll Call ^ | May 19 | By Aidan Quigley

If Russia is getting it's ass handed to it, like I'm hearing from so many talking heads, why do they need another $40 billion on top of the previous aid and all of the aid from local European nations?

I was listening to someone I've questions on integrity spout that the Russian fleet was at the bottom of the Black Sea. That the troops were surrendering or deserting. That the roads are littered with 2/3s of all Russian tanks.

So why another $40 billion that won't be accounted for?!?

Enough.

1. Because your data aquisition system is not working correctly. There is a glitch there that takes info like “50% of initially committed Russian tanks” and turns it into “2/3rds of ALL Russian tanks”. Or “the Russians have unexpectedly lost some ships to Ukrainian attack” to “the Russian fleet is at the bottom of the Black Sea”. Someone needs to turn down the gain on your instrumentation. If we were monitoring temps on a nat gas pipeline, yours would look like its constantly on fire.

2. Your logic module is defective. It does not follow that “the Ukrainians have done better than initially expected” means that “the Ukrainians have won and the Russians have given up”.

Overall there seems to be a hyperbole bug screwing up your judgment output. It seems to work like this - you take in information and magnify it +/- beyond reality. Then you process this garbage (after being messed with as above), and come up with hyperbolic conclusions.

Your system overall seriously needs calibration and a more thorough inspection, as who knows what else is glitching there. Maybe a mathematics aptitude test? That catches a lot of fundamental problems like this.

You can always avoid reading commentary you dont like.

Or, healthier, stick to facts and apply logic, knowledge and experience to them, to treat things with perspective.

So there are three characters on this thread at least, recently with short statements using the same thesis, and thereby avoiding substansive replies to others facts or arguments.

I see a pattern....

That’s exactly what I did. You have no response to clear, non disinfo addled, thought. Your response to call anyone who disagreed a Russian troll. I go by what you’ve written. You are either identifying as your usual warmongering Bushite neocon stooge or you’re prancing around in your newfound Biden Regime stooge identity.

I think I missed your facts and logic. Or these were imperceptible.

Your initial post was “Another tiny down payment on the trillion dollar generational East European arms race we’ve been committed to.”

That was a conclusion based on nothing. I pointed out that Russia was incapable of competing in such an arms race. Which is true, given the balance of resources. Etc. I brought up the indicator of Russian tank production - and its from a Russian source btw.

You did not address my points about the structure of the Russian military nor Russias capacity for military production. You called it all “disinfo”. Etc. That is a failure to engage and resolve an actual argument - thesis, antithesis, synthesis.

Overall it is a failure to argue.
