Yeah, approx. 70,000 dead or wounded Russian soldiers - and the ability of U.S. forces to wage war has been degraded!
Laughable!
Russia has lost its capital ship of the Black Sea Fleet - but the U.S. military has been weakened!
Russia has lost dozens and dozens of tank battalions - but U.S. forces have been weakened!
Putin invaded Ukraine to prevent NATO expansion, but ends up actually strengthening NATO as well as doubling his border with NATO - but our military might has been degraded!
You should try stand-up comedy!

“We just burned through seven years of Javelins and that’s not only important as we continue to try and help the Ukrainians win in Ukraine, that’s important as we try to simultaneously defend Taiwan from aggression from the Chinese Communist Party. They are going to need access to some of these same weapons systems, and we simply don’t have the stockpiles at present in order to backfill what we’ve spent in Ukraine.”

The mineral antimony is critical to the defense-industrial supply chain and is needed to produce everything from armor-piercing bullets and explosives to nuclear weapons as well as sundry other military equipment, such as night vision goggles.
Countries that supply critical minerals to the United States include China, Russia, South Africa, Brazil, and Canada. The USGS report indicates that 20 out of the 23 critical minerals that the United States needs come from China. For some of these minerals, China has flooded the market with low prices, and raised them later when their competitors were out of business.
Using up our existing stockpiles of weapons by threatening and fighting proxy wars with the countries that supply us with the strategic materials to build said weapons is degrading the U.S. ability to wage war.
That’s not even considering that the U.S. is broke with the official national debt exceeding 120% of GDP. (The unofficial national debt is over 200% of GDP).
So yeah, go team Globalist! Show those nasty Ruskies who’s boss!
