Scrap iron dealers are making a killing from this needless meat grinder.Globalist elists are happy as well. The rest of Western civilization, not so much.
Never in the history of post-war Conservativism would I have expected to hear, on a conservative Internet forum, someone lamenting the continuation of a military conflict in which Russia's capacity to wage war is being steadily degraded, while American lives are not at stake.
Every single dollar in materiél and other material goods which we send to Ukraine is resulting in the destruction of three dollars of Russian war-making potential.
Never in my worst nightmares could I have imagined that an entire faction of putative conservatives on this site would be so much as shedding a tear over the lessening of Russia's military prestige and capability!
I wish that Russia had never launched its "Special Military Operation" on Feb. 24, 2022! If Putin had woken up on that day, and NOT launched the invasion - no one in the entire western world would have protested. No one would have said, "Huh?! No unilateral invasion of Ukraine?!"
But he did launch the invasion. Now, it is our duty to ensure that Russia comes to regret that foolhardy and baleful decision! Both as a lesson for Russia, but also for any other little tinpot dictators who might otherwise be tempted to imitate him, and grab some territory of a peaceful neighboring country.
