20 years of war has wasted trillions of dollars, created a flood of refugees and migrants, and resulted in a devastating loss of freedom here at home. It has turned us into the most pervasive domestic surveillance regime seen in all of human history.

It is definitely time to step back and reevaluate. Sometimes swatting away the bees has turned into us repeatedly whacking the beehive to make them stop stinging.

And it is all because DC is rife with corruption and bribery, from the Chinese, from the Saudis, and in Ukraine they found a way to steal from the US Treasury by laundering
it through the most corrupt nation on earth giving them kickbacks.

Yeah, it’s time to back off the war thing.

Too many Bush League Republicans, too few MAGA Senators.

Amnesty Senators are the worst of the Assistant Democrats.

Their hypersonic missiles miss their targets.

Russia has done with them what it does with all of its military cutting edge equipment, like the T14 tank or laser weapons for example. It shows a little glimpse or less and then blares it up for propaganda.

Potemkin weapons are a Russian speciality.

Russia does not have the money to be the superpower that it wishes to be and it has used the very few hypersonics it has to send a message, to try to scare the Ukrainians and others.

If it had a lot of them it would be using a lot of them. In fact Russia’s defense industry has been badly impacted by the sanctions. Reports from the field have found missiles with microprocessors repurposed from dishwashers and refrigerators.

“Their hypersonic missiles miss their targets.”

Tell those Reddit clowns at the base Western Ukraine.

But don’t worry, your spoils will soon be on the way, as that’s starting to get in the news.

“We seemed pretty unified against intervention in places with no US interest”

That is absolutely correct. But then there is China and the pacific rim.

And what does pig face bidet do? Pokes at the reds in the straights of Taiwan.

I see us getting into it with the Reds over there. Maybe we might not care to face off with them in Taiwan, but we will have to face off with them in that area.

Ukraine is a European problem and a corrupt one at that.

The Pacific Rim is our problem. Hopefully Japan will take care of the problem for us as long as pig face is in office.

What a mess.

In western Ukraine they still missed their targets. The Russian missiles have poor to no target controls.

Don’t worry, your payments in roubles are probably not coming through, right bob?

Jerry Pournelle used to refer to him as “the egregious Frum”. This ten years ago or more.

All lying sacs, they all need to be uprooted and replaced, sadly they are planning a scorched earth policy because they know they are on the losing end. Let us not forget who got us here

I also refuse to support any US foreign policy that seeks to spread sexual perversion around the world.

That's Putin's agenda. You're a Putin puffer.

Are you kidding, they’re now worth over TWICE their former value (but still not much, that’s just the way Putin is), and that’s even with accounting for the double-exchange.

Absolute utter incompetence. These sure aren't milspec rad hard shock and vibration tested. Sooner or later the Russians will run out of Ukrainian refrigerators and dishashers to get parts from. Then they will have to think of something else instead. Before you know it they will be reusing cell phones to run their missiles.

The McKinsey folks must be horrified that the Russians are improvising when they should be trying to fix the global supply chain that everyone depends upon by first gettting out of Ukraine and second paying reparations to the WEF, oh and to the US sponsored corruptocracy that will finance the Ukraine corruptocracy to rebuild Ukraine.

And Boeing must be laughing at this failure to follow establish requirements validation processes for hardware and software for flight control.

I mean the place is a joke.

PS how does a country that is so utterly incompetent with leaders who don't know what they are doing keep their artillery supplied with enough ammo to tear the Ukrainian cannon fodder to bits. And how come they blunder into penetrating and encircling Ukrainian lines.

But it shows how backwards they are. Lots and lots of cheap artillery. Junk utter junk.
