Is that the guy that went to the mall and showed all the various items for sale with prices containing many zeros?

Right now we are micromanaging other branches while our own branch is losing money, deep in debt, fighting amongst itself, various parts are on fire, or underwater, and we are still pretty divided on the last power change within our branch.

I would be way more understanding of being involved more on the world stage if everything was going well at home. we need to fix ourself before we worry about everyone else.

our FF were not interventionalists, the French were. and being non-interventionalist worked great for us, we left it behind long before we faced any "consequences" of neutrality. Even before WW1 we were fighting the Spanish over half the world for their empire. Invaded Mexico twice. Got involved in a war in China.

Just a point here, our FF began almost immediately upon independence usurping territory from other nations like the Cherokee, the Seminole, etc. VERY early in our history. It was definitely intervention. It was very close to genocide.

America saw from the start our "right" to expand West and we had little to no regard for any nations that might be there.

Hey @Rasputin_Vol, can you link the Russian supermarket egg boy with the punchable face? The one that always said "unprecedented sanctions" in an exceedingly smug tone of condescension. I forget his name. I want to say Bulgakov, but I know that's the Russian novelist, not the punchable face guy. Many thanks in advance.

We were just ridding the Indian nations of gay NAZIS.

I read in the last day or so that Ukraine is having to advance without armor because of the minefield issue. There's just no way to advance quickly and in force in that situation. Can't find the article that specifically mentioned the change, but this one touches on the reason. In the end you can't take a few new tanks and go blazing across minefields Blitzkrieg style, or take time destroying mines out in the open. The Russians may be crude, but sometimes crude wins the day until somebody comes up with an effective solution. We and other modern armies would likely be stuck just as Ukraine is in this situation.

So read what you just posted and compare that to what the White House is telling the Ukrainians to do without air cover... ("sometimes, air power"). Would the US be expected to engage in "combined arms" operations without air support? Then why are they expecting the Ukrainians to do it? Oh... I forgot. We don’t GAF about Ukrainian lives, just as long as they can bleed out those damn Ruskies.

Ukraine aims to sap Russia’s defenses, as U.S. urges a decisive breakthrough

Western officials and analysts say Ukraine’s military has so far embraced an attrition-based approach aimed largely at creating vulnerabilities in Russian lines by firing artillery and missiles at command, transport and logistics sites at the rear of the Russian position, instead of conducting what Western military officials call “combined arms” operations that involve coordinated maneuvers by large groups of tanks, armored vehicles, infantry, artillery and, sometimes, air power.

Ukraine’s military leaders argue that, lacking aviation might, they must avoid unnecessary losses against an adversary with a far larger pool of recruits and weaponry. To preserve manpower, Ukraine has fielded just four of a dozen trained brigades in the current campaign.

Good God man, Ukraine is fighting an invading foreign army. They aren't doing this to be the US's version of Wagner..... They aren't mercenaries........They are fighting for their independence.

You can't acknowledge that fact because if you do your narrative falls apart. I appreciate how dedicated you are if nothing else...... It's a virtue of sorts I guess.
