As a Tesla shareholder, I'm completely on board with my CEO shooting the sh*t with some rando on Twitter instead of managing Tesla.

Right. He should be on an assembly line putting together Teslas at all times.

Twenty years is a long time to spend pretending to learn what should've been obvious before anyone even went. We on a twenty year Ukraine plan? Reconstruction?

Ukraine isn't Afghanistan. And we don't have "troops on the ground" like Afghanistan either.

 

[FLVOL_79]

That’s been normalized now and you’re racist if you say otherwise

Yep. I expect him to request Patriots, more HIMARS, M777’s, Excalibur, ATACMS, etc…. Hell I’d do it if I were him. He has no other choice they cannot produce their own currently. But the tone was also pretty important too. He came across very gracious and showed a great deal of gratitude. And I’m still waiting on those “demands” he was going to make per the ZeroHedge idiots. I guess there’s still a chance when he talks to Congress tonight.

One thing Biden pointed to stuck out. Humanitarian aid. That’s a European problem. We need to be focused on helping them kill as many Russians as they can. The EU needs to focus on growing new Ukrainians.

It’s actually kinda refreshing for once to be backing a horse willing to do the heavy lifting on their own.

I have no problem with some aid being sent to prevent Russia from annexing Ukrainian territory. I'm skeptical that this aid is going to where it's supposed to always. I don't support a decades long US financial commitment that has no oversight or way to determine the money is spent as advertised.
If the Russians want to kamikaze their military and reputation by getting their asses handed to them in a fight that they started, that's fine with me. Have at it. At some point though, Ukraine should be able to use all this help they're getting to finish off what some are saying is a nearly defeated Russia, which if true, should be soon.

Funny

It’s hilarious. It’s like Zelensky cheated on him with the old boy friend and now he’s really really mad! I mean I know the local Russian simps are gonna feed on it with their “too late now you had your chance” stupidity but this is grade school juvenile stupidity by the idiot that has access to the world’s first or second nuclear weapons stockpile. Somebody needs to shoot the bastard now.

Has that ever stopped me before?

The EU needs to be footing the entire bill. It‘s their dumbass decision to be energy dependent on Russia that gave Putin the funds for this fiasco. We shouldn’t be giving crap away.

Agree with everything you said. We need to work as quickly as we can to end the hostilities (give them the means to kill as many Russians as possible as quickly as possible) and get the hell out. I’d hope we are out if there by end of 2023 but I doubt it. And the EU needs to front the bill to rebuild Ukraine. Give them access to the seized Russian funds and stop the fiscal bleeding.

Don’t disagree hog, at least on premise. I’ll spare us both on bringing up that doc that binds our assistance again

Still using the word give. Screw that.

If it's really as bad for Russia as some think, then Ukraine may as well go ahead and take Crimea back too and send anyone there who'd rather be in Russia to Russia. Then send Russia the bill. And if all that happens, is NATO really needed anymore?

 

[Electric Orange]

Either way, I say we send Mitch McConnell to the front lines to fight. That's my #1 priority.

I’ll buy him the plane ticket.

Oh no. I was sure that after 10 months of targeting civilians, Putin was ready to extend an olive branch.

Honestly before 2022 it would have been easy to say NATO wasn’t needed anymore. But it seems today that at least Sweden and Finland believe it’s still needed But we need to see Europe take a bigger fiscal role I believe.

You’ll have a lot of people willing to chip in. I’ll help.

Woooohoooooo Zelensky with the Godwin’s Law play on comparing the Ukrainian defense to the Ardennes Offensive. Hahahaha!!!!
