GOOD! The more embarrassment for Putin, the better!

Yeah, thats awesome! Putin is going to lose the war in Iraq now. Game over...

I think we are reaching $1 trillion soon if we combine gifts from the US, Canada & Europe and still they/we have not won the war in Iraq!
Clearly Putin is biting his time draining the war chest of NATO / and the US.

Hey, whatever it takes...

Sure, another 100 billion, nuclear war, everything for Ukraine!

Or maybe Zelensky can concede he gambled and lost eastern Ukraine, get to the negotiating table, and start rebuilding the country he's destroyed.

The best thing to do would be to negotiate a DMZ and call it a day.

That's how it ends. After we've squandered billions on this boondoggle. But no way will Russia ever leave the Donbas.

[–] strntz (12224) a year ago

Not voluntarily, no. But I promise you that Russia *will* leave every bit of Ukraine one way or the other.

It would take nukes to get them out. Dude, is this really worth it for a Slavic country which had been more or less part of Russia for the past thousands years? Sorry, not our battle. We gain nothing if they win and losing nothing if they lose. It's another Afghanistan.

So this is what you Neo-Cons intend to do, throw billions at this pointless war? Hey, not on my dime you ain't.

[–] strntz (12224) a year ago

No, it won't take nukes. Russia is gasping for breath. If Putin tries to toss a nuke, Russia will disappear forever - even his sick mind can grasp that. Putin will suffer a "medical" issue soon, or "trip" down five flights of stairs. He tried to rebuild the old Soviet Union before his death and, like another despot 80 years ago did, miscalculated the world's resolve. Sure, there are cowards today as there were then who want to stick their heads in the sand and hope the problem goes away, but they never do. People of courage are those who forge peace.

Is it worth it? Sure, if not for Ukraine, for the world. China is watching and knows that the cost of trying to take Taiwan is probably too high in several ways, world prestige and outrage the largest.

Putin fucked Russia big time. Even after he trips down the stairs, no civilized nation on Earth will ever trust Russia again, nor should they. All the advances Russia gained under glasnost is gone forever, at least decades which is pretty much forever.

How has the money been squandered?

[–] OnanTheBarbarian (11952) a year ago

You're gonna look at a map in 10 years and Ukraine will still be there but the eastern flank will be part of Russia.

Look at a map of Vietnam. What do you see? It's still there and we lost.

No blast proof doors in American schools though... It wouldn't cost anywhere near the 3 trillion that Biden and company have already sent to the most corrupt country on the planet. The school shootings could be ended instantly, but sadly, democrats love dead kids. It fits their narrative better.

[–] [deleted] a year ago

Seems like baning guns from private households would prevent dead kids more.

Stop stalking me you pedophilic weirdo!

[–] [deleted] a year ago

Your reasoning skills suddenly left you? How convenient.

[–] Enigmaticocean77 (2410) a year ago

No, they didn't, but since you are a leftist swine, using logical examples to argue with you is pointless.
