War in Ukraine

[Orangeburst]

Nope. But if we can pay for it by seizing government assets then all good. Do we have the balls to do it?

What a rabbit hole..Seizing to pay for a war sounds wrong.

 

[NorthDallas40]

And the CCP is laughing their ass off

Oh maybe. But they are the ally of last resort here too. Russia is going to HAVE to turn to them and Xi is going to exploit the situation. Hell we would.

 

[Orangeburst]

Oh they’re gonna be bitter. No doubt. But they are going to be powerless to do anything about it. This is THE chance to square off against the Russians like we prepped for since the end of WWII and we won’t even be firing a shot.

Focus brother...CCP is our enemy. The Russkies are the proxy

 

[Septic]

No, I implied that had we not wasted money on blowing up Russians and spending money on the Ukrainians that we could have spent that money on something else such as roads.... etc.

I understand what you implied and I'm telling you that's nonsense since we still could have done that and didn't.
It wasn't either or and literally NO ONE was clamoring to build roads and house vets.

And I see it a bit differently, I don't see money spent on "blowing up Russians" as wasted money. In fact, I see the money and resources being spent as money well spent to further degrade the military and economy of an enemy of the U.S. the fact that American's aren't having to get in the crosshairs is icing on that cake.

Seizing to stop/end a war doesn't at all

 

[Orangeburst]

How much has the EU provided vs America? Lets see some facts

 

[NorthDallas40]

Focus brother...CCP is our enemy. The Russkies are the proxy

Nope. They are numbers one and two separately on the list of geopolitical foes.

 

[lawgator1]

Yeah, it was too. We could have stood by and done nothing, or we could do what we did. We should let the Europeans defend their own continent like we aren't doing. F Europe, I'm sick of their globalist ways.

I guess this is where deficit spending doesn't matter.
I guess I can count you guys in for a $1T+ for the rebuild?

 

[Septic]

That is if you believe the propaganda machine saying Russia is losing the war.

I haven't seen anyone say they are losing, but I'm damn sure not seeing anyone saying they're winning either.

 

[Orangeburst]

Nope. They are numbers one and two separately on the list of geopolitical foes.

So you agreed with Romney. Sure he got your vote

Suddenly everyone is worried about the deficit again. Not a peep from 2016 to 2020.

What about you?

This is the US/Russian proxy war to end all proxy wars. Russia is fighting it directly while we just sit back and reload their adversary. As long as Ukraine wants to fight the invading bastards the West is going to be more than happy to help fund the destruction of Russia.

I already told you how it should be paid for. Don't be obtuse.

"the ccp" I can assure isn't laughing about the fact they're getting embarrassed by a bunch of guys that are towing their tanks off with tractors.

 

[Orangeburst]

Are u telling me with all your knowledge that the Russians are numero uno and the CCP number 2?

 

[NorthDallas40]

So you agreed with Romney. Sure he got your vote

Not even going to play that. Russia never stopped being a major geopolitical foe. They just aren’t the top dog anymore. Yes, that really is the reality of the situation.

 

[NorthDallas40]

Are u telling me with all your knowledge that the Russians are numero uno and the CCP number 2?

No, swap them.

Also they are different threats. China is THE biggest conventional army threat Russia is still the largest nuclear threat.

 

[Orangeburst]

I already told you how it should be paid for. Don't be obtuse.

OK..what is the value off these assets that can be seized? Tell us or dont be acute

 

[Orangeburst]

No, swap them.

Disagree. Russia ihas nothing comparable in any manner compared to the CCP. Nothing other than maybe nukes

Go read the edit. Yes nukes.

Between us and Europe it's over $700 billion. I would also be fine with reducing several other budgets to pay for this. Including defense spending. Seize it all, pay everyone back, rest goes to rebuild Ukraine

Watching America drain her resources once again..absolutely.

What are the numbers we can seize..Geezus. Throwing out numbers you dont even know.
