    Funny how that wasn’t a concern when we fought two wars on credit and the character you play was calling those who didn’t support them traitors.

    Not denying man power isn’t a big problem but we’ve seen several wars including recently where a vastly numerically superior force was defeated by a numerically inferior force. Things like technology, knowledge of terrain, and will to fight are major advantages in warfare. This was true even before mechanized warfare.

    I’m not saying Ukraine can’t lose but reports of Ukraine’s demise have been exaggerated before.

    Ukraine was perfectly able to hold its own territory against the Russians with the equipment we were giving them before the GOP blocked any aid. Russian took less than 100 Sq miles all of last year.

    Ukraine is only losing on the battlefield right now cuz speaker Johnson has blocked any aid. The right wingers @basso will be remembered in history for what they are.

    Don't let these folks gas light you

    It saddens me to think so many Ukrainians and Russians who turned 18 in 2020 never had a chance before being killed in Putin’s Russian Imperial War.

    All past Presidents share blame for not understanding Russia properly, Obama wasn't great for various reasons.

    Bush stared lovingly into Puties eyes and bonded with his soul...

    Merkel downplayed his ambitions and Schroeder before her found a new career being a gas shill with deep connections,

    Half the time it's Russian military capabilities are a joke and the other half its the Russians are going to be marching down the Champs-Elysees by next year unless we stop them now.

    I don’t really understand this attempt at taking down Biden or Obama on Russia. You guys say this and never once will ever say what Obama should have done.

    The obvious logic is you are suggesting in 2014 that Obama should have declared war against Russia or later in Syria declared was against Assad and then basically been at war with Russia since Assad is a Putin puppet.

    So if that’s not the case then explain what it is Obama or Biden were supposed to have done?? Be specific or you will just prove once again that you’re just a hack.

    That's my favorite app. Not as good as the physical Magic 8-Ball, but still a lot of fun.

    And you know this because of mainstream media you consume. The NYT, WAPO, MSNBC ABC, Chronicle etc.
    Oh well, just the poor Ukrainians soldiers and civilians and for that matter the poor Russian soldiers will suffer. War and replacing Russian gas with expensive NLG is good business for America, not so good for Germany and others. Not so good for any Americans who could use the Medicare for All, cheap college, decreased homelessness and other benefits enjoyed by many Europeans.

    Its not rocket science. With the ammunition and help we were providing ukraine Russia took less than 100 Sq miles of new territory in 2023. With our help their military capabilities are a joke. If we don't give them ammo then the flips. What is so difficult about this to understand. How are you people are so utterly slow and stupid?

    The patriot system has more than capable and even shot down Russia "hypersonic" missle. Obviously without our help or ammo they have no chance.

    @basso is the epitome of a dirt bag. He knows his side (GOP) is the obstacle of providing new aid to ukraine and instead of accepting it his partisanship won't allow it. Instead he'll make up narratives about how this is biden or Obama fault.

    The truth is with our help Russia was stopped in their track. Without our help Russia will overtake ukraine. That's the reality.

    The worst humans are @basso who allow their partisanship to change their view. Scumbags

    I don't consume mainstream media. Again people like you are the worst. You support Gaza and Palestinians and think Israel is committing genocide and occupation but somehow Russia is perfectly allowed to do whatever they want. It's perfectly fine for hamas to resist occupation and slaughter Israelis but God forbid we give ukrianians weapons they need to fight off the Russians. Your entire viewpoint is through the lens of America bad. It's so tiresome and old

    You lefties have the dumbest view of foreign policy in the world. Atleast with the MAGATs you know their pro dictatorship but you lefties have no morals or values.

    Americans are much much richer than the Europeans. The idea that Europeans have it better than Americans is the dumbest thing you've posted. Go look at wages in Europe and come back

    What an indecisive loser. We need someone that goes with his gut and has the biggest **** in the chicken house.
