I don't think you understand how armed conflicts work.

I don’t think you understand the meaning of the word “we” in this context.

Since we were discussing the US Point-Of-View, and since I am an American who cares primarily about American interests, the “we” referees to the expense to the USofA.

I mean you're completely proving my point with a response like this.

That stupid establishment schill Rubio was just hoping for a fast "nope!" from Nuland. When she concocted this contorted answer he shut-up fast and didn't ask the obvious follow-up.

Why? Why is she concerned? Why is it a concern if Russia captures a lab doing experiments to develop insect-resistant wheat? Or create a cure for Athlete's Foot?

The average American is too dumb to put 2 and 2 together. The thought to ask why is there a concern -- and the obvious implications any answer to that question would have -- never enters their empty little heads. Thoughts extend to the limits allowed by the regime, tightly circumscribed by a mental playpen.

Most of you people have never studied science or logic.

We can discuss big picture or we can discuss discrete points… if I make a comment about a discrete point it cannot automatically be expanded to some related bug-picture question. Worse… you can’t take a discrete point comment; expand it to big picture… then shrink it back down to try to apply it to some OTHER discrete point.

I’m done with you fucks.

And you are so much smarter, saxi? You have a low opinion of others, don't you?

btw: 2+2 = 5

I think I will play a game of Risk or two and do something important, too.

Those same people are more often than not hindered by a lack of calculative skills.
Fear not slow ones, I'm here to help!

Since the Russia/Ukraine war began, the U.S. has sent about $75 billion of aid to the Ukrainians.
https://www.cfr.org/article/how-much-ai ... six-charts

And now the mighty Ukrainians have liberated 47 sq kilometers of their area, from the roughly 161,000 sq kilometers that the Russians have occupied.
https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/uk ... 023-09-04/
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russian-o ... of_Ukraine

For the mathematically challenged, that comes out to $ 1,595,744,680.85 per liberated square kilometer.
Or $148.25 for every square foot.
Roughly.

The financial trajectory of this, is to liberate the rest of Ukraine we are on target to spend about 256 Trillion.
or precisely $256,839,893,480,040.75

The powers that be that will be earning interest payments on all this debt, thank you for your lack of math skills and encourage you to keep waving your Ukraine flags.

I'll admit, the Ukes put up a more spirited fight than I thought they would. But in the end, it wasn't enough. And it was a bad move. They could have enjoyed some Manchukuo-like state with a degree of internal governance. Now they get nothing.

No. The Atlantic is.

I'm just a cheerleader.

I'm introducing a bill this week to congress where illegal immigrants from Central America have a path to legal citizenship by signing up to the Ukrainian army for a 3 year term. If they survive they get citizenship to USA or Ukraine (their choice, but only get one), along with a Russian mail order bride/husband and 1 million Ruples each all stolen from Russia during the counteroffensive invasion (not an invasion) of 2025

I LOVED 'The Putin Interviews' by Oliver Stone, it from like 8-10 years ago but is still extremely relevant. Totally worth a watch if anyone hasn't.

Idk if thats availaible somewhere but when you come across Armin Wolfs interview with Putin for austrian TV, i recommend that. Think that was the last big one Putin made before the war. And Wolf was very good.

The irony is that afterwards, most of them will be literally begging to get back to the banana plantations.
