I'm not checking in on this thread regularly, but are you suggesting we pay Russia to not be shitheads?Maybe offered Russia billions in aid not to invade? It's not a great plan but this war is costing us billions anyway and maybe more Americans other than just high ranking politicians, bureaucrats and the MIC could have profited off the aid.
I'm wondering how @hog88 thinks paying the Russians would allow Americans other than high ranking politicians to profitSo, you are a "hard no" on giving billions in military aid to Ukraine to defend themselves, because we might give more money to arms manufacturers to replace weapons, but you would have been fine with giving Putin billions in ransom money, in the hopes that it would have kept him from invading Ukraine?
Finland joining NATO.I clearly said it’s not a great plan. Have trouble reading?
The plan we’re on now hasn’t driven the Russians out or caused the internal upheaval in Russia that was expected. The lines haven’t moved much in 5-6 months so where’s the progress? When is this “spring offensive” going to kick off, it is spring in Ukraine?
But really, what’s our limit? What does a win look like and how much are we supposed to spend for it. What I think will end up happening is this will continue another year give or take and they will settle. In the end Russia will get the territory they wanted and we’ll be out billions of dollars.
yeah, and if had continued your typical point of just cutting off Ukraine, there wouldn't have been a point to make. but giving money to Russia makes less sense than giving Ukraine money, hence the comments.Hey louder, I can’t help if your GF has low standards. If she don’t want your invasion hopefully her neighbors will help.
what election interference? this mess started after Russia bought off the pro-western president. But I don't even think Ras is willing to try and blame the US for Yanukoyvch winning. although I guess he could, it just gets complicated with him running to Russia and not the US.How much did our election interference in Ukraine factor into Russia’s actions?
No way he would start a war to assist the democrats by taking the spotlight of all the problems going on in the US. After all, he's in bed with Trump.Solve.
You implied that the proxy war was some sort of conspiracy ginned up by the media to distract from America's hardships.
Look. I don't think Putin is particularly bright, but I don't think he's clairvoyant enough to know starting a war with Ukraine would take focus away from our border problems. I'm simply asking for your rationale in making that implication. Assuming he's clairvoyant, why would he do that?
Larry Larry Larry. Your diet of massive amounts of Russia made up ******** can’t be healthySo much for our Patriot air defense system. I see a few hundred million $$ went up in smoke in Kiev lastnight.

Kyiv says it shoots down volley of Russian hypersonic missiles
Kyiv says it shoots down volley of Russian hypersonic missiles
Ukraine said on Tuesday it had shot down six Russian hypersonic Kinzhal missiles in a single night, thwarting a superweapon Moscow had previously touted as all but unstoppable.
Russia's defence ministry said it had destroyed a U.S.-built Patriot surface-to-air missile defence system with a Kinzhal missile, the Zvezda military news outlet reported.
But the commander-in-chief of Ukraine's armed forces, Valeriy Zaluzhnyi said all had been successfully intercepted.
Since the bald dwarf’s military is completely impotent he’s turning to the only resource he has that has any effect on his useful idiots. His propaganda machine.I think he knows, but he thinks he's being funny. The issue is that he lacks the self-awareness to recognize that no one is laughing with him and that he looks like an absolute idiot.

Hungary Outraged By Leaked Ukrainian Plans To Blow Up Vital Oil Pipeline | ZeroHedge
WTF difference does it make that Hungary is a NATO member? So is Germany and they got their pipelines bombed.
It's almost as if they're disappointed the missile attack against the civilian populace wasn't effective. Too bad Russia wasn't allowed to kill hundreds of civilians...... Better luck next time!18 for 18.
Yeah, it probably wasn't cheap but looks like the patriots' shot down millions in Russian missles.
