U S. Citizens are needed for their tax dollars to fund everything.

And with illegal border jumpers, to be replaced as soon as possible.

soon to be 100 per barrel... take that internal combustion engine and electricity lovers. Global Warming, except at Mammoth Mountain, which just closed it’s ski slopes. they had record snowfall and retention of the snow. Maybe we should be watching out for the next ice age. Because the same people who are in charge of our foreign policy in Ukraine also say the world is going to warm up.

The ugly truth is America cannot win a big war.

Look at the so-called “advanced” American fighter, the F-35.

It has been shown to be vulnerable to being disabled by lightning. The hugely expensive boondoggle aircraft ($200 million each) has been ordered not flown near thunderstorms.

Its complex electronics can be destroyed by lightning strikes.

It is a fighter that cannot even remain in the air if its complex computers fail.

Great.

America can use its most expensive fighter but only in good weather.

If America goes to war, we’d better pray no thunderstorms take down our planes.

All an enemy has to do is send out a burst of electric energy toward the F-35 and it falls out of the sky.

Whose stupid idea was this?

The U.S. military industrial complex is a leading candidate to receive the biggest “Darwin Award” in world military history.

But I believe you’re right about the Ukraine, she’s bled white of her manpower and no amount of armaments will replace that.

Based on what? Ukraine's population is 40+ million and has 6 million men of military age. There is no lack of soldiers, there is a lack of military equipment.

Yaroslava Zhuravel’s father was killed in battle against the Russians in 2020.

Yaroslava turned 18 this year and joined the army to avenge her father.

It was obvious from the beginning that Ukraine could never match the Russians in a ground war
——————-
Everyone knew this, however what everyone didn’t know is all the back door “ promises “ Biden’s government promised the Ukie regime to fight Russia down to the last Ukie. Those false promises energized St Zelensky enormously.

Now that the US and collective West has NOT offered Ukraine admission to NATO, boots on the ground and has NOT been able to deliver weapons in the amount needed, it becomes clear senile Joe gave false hopes to St Zelensky.

Those promises were rather premature, the Sanctions failed to collapse the Russian economy, the collective West’s arms manufacturing industry was found to be severely lacking , Vlad found an alternative to US’s SWIFT system, and a new China/ Russia/ India/ Brics alliance has been strengthened.

In short, all the promises senile Joe gave Zelensky never came to fruition.

Senile Joe should start preparing for “ Zelensky’s Revenge”.

Winning to them is getting money for the MIC, and by extension, themselves. The more stuff that gets destroyed or left behind, the better. Just means more money is needed from backs of the working class.

This is all you got? Most just attack the man, not what he says.

So far, he has been right.

The deep state tried to sell a BS narrative of Russian incompetence. The Reality is our woke military is a joke, and Russia and China are filling the vacuum created by our “suicide” of wimpiness.

Exactly, just as our Founding Fathers warned …. “ do NOT get involved in foreign entanglements”. I find it odd ( and laughable) all the war cheerleaders pretending to be Constitution supporters failed to heed the most basic advice.

They would double that number and not blink an eye. Nothing matters but democrats keep power.

Just like everything else. The media will just stop reporting on it and the Ukraine disaster will disappear.

For the historically ignorant, our Founding Fathers signed the Treaty of Alliance with France on February 6, 1778 without which this country would never have been born.

If that’s the current state of recruitment, Ukraine is even worse off than I thought. Pathetic.
