War in Ukraine

[NorthDallas40]

I'm sure there was a massive amount of grift with both Afghanistan and Iraq, so it makes all the graft in Ukraine acceptable?

Not what I said and you know it dude. I also said there should be congressional oversight specifically appointed for Ukraine.

Yet there won't be because with no oversight there is no theft.

That’s two non sequiturs. Go for three?

Luka is just being Grover Dill to Putin’s Scott Farkus. Nobody pays attention to the ferret little guy sucking up to the bully.

So we’ll pull ours back 100 miles if you pull all of yours back 5000 miles. Stupid as hell.

Exactly. If anything, I suspect our allies are wanting *more* nukes given Russia's bad behavior.

Also, the Russian Ruble is getting pounded again today. Closing in on 100:1 again.

Brutal and satisfying at the same time. Creeping up on that 134 ruble to usd high last year. Hey @Rasputin_Vol seems like a great time to drop this again right?

hardly an equal trade at all.

It would be an honest attempt at diplomacy if they were trying to get nukes out of one country in exchange for Belarus. But all of Europe, and Turkey, for tiny Belarus....

and I guess it also depends on what they mean by Western Europe. We could remove them from Spain or Ireland in exchange for Belarus.

Better deal: We won't place nukes in Ukraine if you pull back to the 2014 borders.

Counter offer: Leave Ukraine now, pay for damages and we will consider not putting nukes in Finland and Ukraine when this is all over.

The appropriate diplomatic response to that is "Eat $hit and die."

At least Russia is sticking to valid military targets.

Russian state news agency RIA said the port and grain infrastructure hit was housing foreign mercenaries and military hardware. A naval ship repair yard was also targeted, it said. Reuters was not able to verify the report.

Yep. One stray missile and things ratchet up very quickly.
