...and in other news

Europe should have covered the entire cost. Who didn't know the end game here? Putin was always going to get some win the minute he invaded. The treasure and casualties were just a delay until a deal was made. Unless the West was prepared to go to full war, Ukraine was never going to win.

Is there anything above you disagree with?

Now is just a matter of what the true dollar number this war cost us. We may not know an accurate number for a while. Especially when dealing with military assets. What were those worth? What did it cost to replace them?

Next, what is the deal to get it to stop. Zelenskyy is an idiot. He literally holds very few cards without the US. Europe is feckless. They will never do what it would take to end this thing. We know Putin did not fear Obama or Biden Admins or European leaders.

They all will sit around and moan that Trump is trying to end it. The idiot TDS people(ignorant and a fool) here will agree. Meanwhile, this entire conflict will end after 3 long years of death(and lighting large gobs of the US taxpayers money on fire) on Trump's watch.

Thanks Joetato and Word Salad. But at least Joetato never offended dictator Zelenskyy:rolleyes:
Z has admitted to NOT knowing where $ 100,000,000,000 Billion of our dollars have disappeared to !

Where do we get all this insight on "everything Putin wants"? I've only seen speculation, and really, assuming this results in an end to the war, anything at all Putin will have arguably gotten will be labeled, "everything Putin wants."
Jeff and the anti Trumpers have state they know. Well, because they hate Trump they think they know something they do not.
 
You are clueless. Putin wanted a regime change in Ukraine and turn it into a vassal state. So if Ukraine wanted to give up its autonomy, the war could have been avoided.
Otherwise, Putin was going to invade. Putin thought the war was going to over in a couple of months.
All the news media and most of Western leadership thought the war would last a couple of weeks. It wasn’t just Putin.

What Putin wanted was assurance that Ukraine would not be allowed to join NATO. That should have been easy to assure, but the dope you voted for wanted war.

It is not as simple as that.
 
I watched the interview with Jeffries. The Dems are clueless. They are absolutely entrenched in what they believe no matter what the majority of Americans are telling them.

 
DEI will be on campuses for years. Oh and look at the boo hoo Democrats concerned about political pushback going too far the opposite direction.

Neither Ukraine nor Russia is fighting for our country. You aren’t sending your kids to fight anything. You’re all bluster. As long as others are dying everything is fine. That’s your position you hold here.
Nothing to do with Russia Ukraine, don't deflect. It is your statement that if US was in a war with Canada, you would give up a small amount of our country to end it. With chickens like you, we would be speaking Japanese or German now. Pathetic!

He didn’t say anything about Canada.

I gave a hypothetical situation. Of course we will never be in that situation, because we aren’t completely dependent on other countries to protect us. Ukraine is completely dependent on other countries right now, and is losing soldiers by the thousands. They might want to give something up before thousands more die.
 
Jeff is 100 percent against this.


Honestly, I don’t know what positions the left supports anymore. It’s just anti Trump.

The message in recent years has been to tax the rich and put in more gun laws. Then the President’s son broke tax and gun laws and they let everyone know they didn’t care, not a big deal. They don’t care about penalizing criminals.

They used to have a big thing about protecting women, but then they got bullied by cross dressing men who want to be treated like women, and want to be in women’s spaces. They folded, and they can’t even define what a woman is anymore.

They thought COVID came from an animal despite the COVID LAB where the outbreak started. They saw videos of Venezuelans taking over buildings and blamed it on a bad landlord. They saw more honor roll in a time of virtual learning/AI and thought that it meant kids were getting taught better, not just cheating more.

It’s a completely broken party.

Everyone knows in their heart this is right. There is a reason we don’t talk about trans men and men’s sports.

I had a friend tell me that making a trans girl play boy’s sports would be too traumatic. They never consider the trauma of young girls seeing hogs in the locker room, or getting physically beaten up on the court.

We live in very strange times.
 
It's a worthwhile theory but can't explain all cases. I know an Illini grad who was diagnosed with long-Covid before there was a vaccine available.


I think most of those people have anxiety or other conditions. Pretty good chance that anxiety is not just one of the symptoms, but it’s one of the causes.

If that's found to be true then it means not all long-Covid is caused by vaccination.

I think there are several variables involved. I’ve never thought it was just the vaccine. If it was simple science, we would know the specific cause by now.

Anxiety can lead to a lot of health issues. We told people to stay home and avoid their family members. Instilled fear. It had a huge impact on a huge # of people.

I have 2 family members with long COVID. They have a very special needs son and have basically been shut ins for the last 4 years. Some of it is mental health related, I have little doubt.

Do you have a sense of humor?
Is it humorous to you that a member of Congress for most of her adult life that almost NEVER earned more than $ 200,000 PRETAX is worth HUNDREDS of MILLIONS of dollars from stock trading ?

My over 20 Years as a Registered Representative and General Manager titles earned from the SEC and the various other Federal and State Agencies, I have NEVER seen a person making that amount of money, unless the person got lucky with one or two HUGE IPO trades.

NEVER multiple trades in mostly options without illegal inside information.
