N00bs, especially those like you who were banned before, are not to come in here and issue orders to real FReepers. Learn your place.

And why is it that I always smell patchouli oil and unwashed man bun when you’re around?

Now, as usual, I will decide when this conversation is over. It is over. I will permit you the last word. You will say something lame and pathetic and then there will be no response. Bye.

You have already used that insult. You need new material.

God be with you.

The question now is whether the Putin regime will push for “all out war”. Preventing that possibility needs to be the #1 goal of the Ukrainians. Putin doesn’t care about humanity as much as he cares about power and glory for himself; and thus he’s become a mass murderer now that has caused enormous suffering and has extended the Russiaphobia of Central Europeans many more decades.

“.... The direct fiscal cost of the war — spending on soldiers and machines — is estimated to be about 3% of Russia’s GDP, or roughly $67 billion a year, according to the report. That figure comes from a comparison of Moscow’s pre-invasion spending forecasts for defense and security with what it actually spent.

By historical standards, the current war pales in comparison. The Soviet Union during World War II, for example, spent about 61% of GDP, and the US at the same time put about 50% of its GDP toward the conflict.

However, 3% is substantially higher than the 0.4% of GDP the Soviet Union spent on its war on Afghanistan ....”
