#3 WTF indeed. America gets rare earth metals and people keep dying. Vance is right about one thing: war will last a long time. But, eventually, Russia will win anyway.

#4 I'm with Abu on this one. The only thing "Rare" should be our involvement over there, either commercial or military. Maybe it's just me, but I'm getting a whiff of Military Industrial Complex (MIC).

Stay at home and mind our own business for fokssake. Those people have been at each other's throats for centuries. It's not a conflict with them, it's a hobby.

#7 I’m fine sending Ukraine obsolete equipment and bleeding Russia a few more years.
