War in Ukraine

[IluvdoubleD's]

Ukraine has hit something like 11 depots in the last nine days inside occupied territory. The only russian territory I think they hit is belgorod.

If you google map belgorod it gives pre 2014 borders.

The russian orc was ignored out of the G20 today, had to leave almost immediately. Russia made it seem like they wanted to leave tho. They probably had a couple of countries in that new axis they are trying to form talk to them before they got shued out.

 

[IluvdoubleD's]

At the G20 SOS Blinken Implored them to "Give up Ukraine's seed, That seed does not belong to you." This is Putin's response. Any reason to respond with war. Syria: Russian UN veto blocks aid deliveries to 3m people

This comes back to Turkey, who might need to be viewed as an ally.

You guys seem to be giddy over this crap. Let's kill more people as long as someone else is doing the killing.

Things seem to be going well in Russia

As far as I'm aware. Putler had to take his troops out of the south to take the east.

Yeah it's rather quite sad. But many of these people are pro abortion or neocon loving Republicans so it should come as no surprise.

 

[IluvdoubleD's]

Russia now has what it needs to resupply an amy. That land is THAT valuable. It's Iron Ore and Natural Gas. Nuclear as well. It does NOT have the people tho.

They are already an ally as they are a member of NATO. Turkey, like Isreal, is allowed to do whatever they want and we do nothing to discourage their behavior. I thought you didn't miss DoubleD?

 

[IluvdoubleD's]

Supposedly Turkey was the ONE nation that talked to russia outside their new attempt at an axis.

 

[IluvdoubleD's]

Turkey, Greece, Italy just became great friends.

It's actually pretty satisfying seeing the neighborhood bully getting his nose bloodied.

Soviet Suicide squad?

It's actually pretty satisfying seeing the neighborhood bully getting his nose bloodied.

It’s also satisfying seeing Russia’s former colonies fortunate enough to have joined NATO telling their former oppressor to go **** themselves.

I respect the heck out of that..punching a bully in the nose.

Go Israel!

White House Unveils $400M More In Military Aid To Ukraine, Marking 15th Package | ZeroHedge

The Washington Post, CNBC and others are reporting Friday that the Biden White House is readying yet another $400 million weapons package for Ukraine, which will mark the 15th round of security assistance since the Russian invasion.

A senior defense official has been cited as saying the specific weapons will be tailored to repel a broader Russian assault in the Donbas, though the recent weeks of fighting have made clear that battlefield momentum is currently with the Russians.

Hundreds of billions incoming .dare say trillions incoming..all in this inflationary environment. I will say this...something will give.

This seems a global financial power play.

By having homogeneous small wealthy populations and then relying on US or NATO defense against aggressors?

Looking at USN&WR's 2021 list of highest standards of living, not necessarily. Homogeneous populations shouldn't be a factor anyway, but some of those above us are pretty heterogeneous. Maybe our standard of living would be higher if we spent less on the military and invested the savings in infrastructure, public health, and education.

I think more of the budget for our military budget should go to our troops in the form of pay raises and to ensure our troops are properly employed once they get out.

Or we let people keep more of their own money.

How would you ensure troops are properly employed once they get out? Are you suggesting the government tell private businesses who they must hire?

I assume many of them would take advantage of the GI Bill to go to college or learn a trade. I hope they get good advice on the way out regarding skills that are in demand.
