That’s a really nasty position. Degrade Russia using Ukrainian lives

Ukrainians want to defend their country, we are supplying the weapons. They are actually willing to fight vs the Iraqis and Afghan's.

As I said to you in another thread, there is absolutely no comparison. One was a low-level, mostly small unit fight against primitives and the other is a modern war of armor and sophisticated weaponry between two relatively comparable armies (as evidenced by the ebb and flow of the fight).

We've won a huge victory over Russia. This war has decimated their military and proven they are not a threat to the US anymore. And we did that without one US casualty. I'd say that's worth a great deal.

This war has also made China rethink it's ability to invade Taiwan. That's also a win.

Cool, what have we won?

Removing Russia as a conventional military threat to NATO. Best money ever spent, vs Afghanistan or Iraq.

“Foolishly wasting our resources on foreign wars we instigate through our globalist leaders.”

And so many Americans still hate and excoriate the ONE President who did not get us into war and waste all of our treasure.

Wasn’t everything you just wrote part of the Minsk AgreementS?

The ones Ukraine did not adhere to

The ones, that they admit were put in place to make sure that this war would happen but give Ukraine a chance to arm itself.

“And that 100 billion has degraded the Russian conventional forces without the loss of one US serviceman.”

Absolutely right. Russia is still the muggers of the human race.

Yay? This means nothing. Except that it sounds like NATO is 100% irrelevant now and we can finally disband it. That’s something I can get behind.

Minsk was fatally flawed because it never spelled out the order of actions.

Politicians: Just put it on the bill for the taxpayers. And I’ll have another one of those delicious hors d’oeuvres. These Hamptons parties are the best.

That’s OK - we’ve lots of government debt already, fiat money, and a big printing press - and we aren’t afraid to use it!
