#1 With Stinking Blinken it will never happen. Too much money to be made. While Biden has deaf ears. Mismanaged here and abroad. They play their tunes while the west sinks into oblivion. Reminds me of the old Kennedy joke, something like it's my football so we play by my rules.

#3 ^That was a bizarre comment. In your alternative universe perhaps. Fear does things to the mind that forces knee jerk reactions that rules over logic.

#4 One thing I am not is afraid of Russia.

Breathe into a paper bag Dale. When that doesn't work, move to a dry cleaning bag over your head.

#6 We could bomb Russia back to the stone age for a fraction of what we are spending on the proxy war in Ukraine.

#8 Read earlier today, that it will take some 30 years for Russia to recover its economy from this war in Ukraine.

I am wondering how long it will take the U.S. to rebuild it's own military stocks after shipping them to Ukraine? Still have an eye on China in the wings.

Bit miffed that the U.S. Government giving money to Ukraine is more important, than securing the southern border. I don't disagree with the U.S. making life miserable for Putin, and maybe bankrupt him and government. Makes wish President Ronald Reagan was still around compared to what we have now in the Oval Office.
