War in Ukraine

[LSU-SIU]

With some of the comments out of Germany, have to wonder why Trump's actions seem to be leading to a Europe re-arming itself, possibly including a nuclear arsenal to eliminate the need for an American shield.

Hmmm. Wonder why Trump would do his buddy Putin like that? Cannot imagine the Russians are all that excited about a more militaristic Germany.

The Europeans are panicking and they should be. This is where I more or less get off the predicting train i.e. chaos over the next few decades and very hard to predict with accuracy, the only thing at this point is Eastern European countries are the weakest ones other than Poland and they should be making major moves.

Who is going to be King of the weaklings?

Putin loves it though. he gets a boogey man to sell, the original boogey man.

Putin, like most politicians, doesn't have an actual ideology he sticks to. He just has whatever angle keeps him in power and rich.

Hey rotate my tires while you’re at it, Cletus.

can't get your wife to do it for you?

Where's the countdown for Ukraine losses? Hard to find solid numbers

I always assuming they are pretty equal. maybe trading a little better being on defense, but not in a war changing way.

Because most of their soldiers were kidnapped off the street?

So is this a win for Trump and America? Trump gets Europe to put Putin in a box and gets America off the tab. You're right, Putin, and whoever follows him, stays in power and rich, but where are they going to go and what are they going to do? Do they stare at their eastern borders with China?

The brutal truth of the question would be, if the above scenario is the plan, is Ukraine that big a price to pay?

Don't @me. I'm just throwing things against the wall.

That portion of Ukraine is lost.

its foreign policy. its hard to tell. things that look like wins sometimes end up being losses, and some losses end up being wins.

I can do my own, but I appreciate the concern.

Well if a cousin says it in a paywalled article we must impeach.

Oh look... another left-wing zany tree-hugger just gave a half billion bucks to Ukraine.

Thank God Warren Buffett is an ignorant, liberal moron.

Russia’s glide bombs were unstoppable – but Ukraine has made them useless​

Signal-jamming techniques seem to have given Ukrainian forces fresh impetus just as the US suspended military aid

sounds like they don't need us, and have been able to find a way to fight without needing us to do everything for them.

Good for him. This is what fervent Ukraine supports should do, send what’s they can and help these brave people defeat the Orks.
