War in Ukraine

SIAP

 

[AM64]

Just like American politicians hemming and hawing for American involvement while our economy collapses.

Our politicians have "fixed" a lot of things - the problem is they rarely make things work and even more rarely make them better. Our economic collapse might even be less drastic without the political help.

$150 million, in the grand scheme of things (compared to $33 billion) does what?

I hear Nurse Jill just left Ukraine after collecting the big guy’s 10%.

The Transnistria, South Ossetia, and Abkhazia independence movements were going on long before Putin was elected.

Crimea is almost 80% ethnic Russian. It shouldn't bother you guys and gals that they don't want to be part of Ukraine.

It doesn't bother me, if they don't want to be part of Ukraine go be part of Russia. Large portions of Texas Arizona and New Mexico are Hispanic. If they don't want to be part of the US they have an easy choice that doesn't involve armed conflict in an already established country.

Econ 101.

Fed doesn't raise interest rates if the economy is collapsing. Rates are going up because the economy is overheating.

Anybody heard anything about Russia defaulting yet? I would have figured that Russia would have defaulted by now with their economy in the toilet and the entire world standing tall against them.

 

[ButchPlz]

I wonder the same thing. Why do they keep feeding the war machine a carrot here and a carrot there with these inane appropriations? It seems like every other day there is a new announcement of another grant to Ukraine.

You know why. This is exactly why I have been 100% anti-intervention of ANY sort in this conflict. It helps nobody but a handful of defense corps and politicians.

I just don't understand why Russia hasn't defaulted yet. Their economy is in ruins. Their army is losing and retreating to Transnistria. Putin has cancer. Navalny is being prepped to take his place.... just seems like everything that could go wrong is going wrong for Russia and they still seem to be making payments. What are the credit rating agencies doing?

You know when leftist rags like the NYTimes reports that the war is not going well for Slo Jo and his Cackling Ho that the situation is really bad.

WOW... just WOW. Thomas Friedman wrote that?

Friedman said that as an American citizen, he wants the country to do what is in its own best interest and to remain "laser-focused" so the U.S. doesn't risk of being pulled directly into the conflict.

I saw something recently about Buckets for Ukraine and churches flying the Ukrainian flag.

I would hope any nuclear armed country had safeguards to stop a madman from launching nuclear weapons.

Nice try though.

Just noting the issue. My concern is that he has totally cleaned out any possible dissent and that would include interference with launching nukes. Our 2 man rule is law, I don't think the rule of law exists in Russia right now, it's the rule of Putin.

This entire "Stand with Ukraine" fiasco is going have a bunch of Clinton Foundation type corruption going on.

 

[volfanhill]

I can't believe how many posters, and it's not tons, who think we should just let Putin do what he wants bc he's threatening nukes. That's precisely how you allow a madman to take control. At some point he will demand something you won't be willing to just pacify him with.

I'm sure it had that level of corruption before it even started.

If you file bankruptcy you don't have to move out of your house for at least 30 days and maybe up to a year. This is going to be a slow painful death for Russia's economy.

China is going to swoop down on Russia and pick their bones clean before this is over.

They are now a vassal state to China

 

[volfanhill]

Side note: These idiots in here think Russia should be respected. Their military has proven to be trash. Their economy, pre this shat, was half the size of California. Congrats they have nukes. So they are Pakistan. Awesome.

When the sanctions first hit, they were saying that by the end of March or first of April, Russia was going to be in default.

Hadn't heard a peep about it in over 2-3 weeks.
