#2 These people will not be happy until Poland is pulled (or voluntarily) enters the conflict.

#4 Guess who gets the bill? We do!

I wish we could have a new power plant or a new bridge instead of weapons for proxy wars using corrupt countries. But...DC does have its priorities. They don't include us.

#5 You had all last year to complain about the money we were sending Vladimir Putin, but I guess some waste is more important than others. Oh, and that apartment building they hit with a Kh-31 was full of Nazis.

#6 I think if they had actually done it each segment of video would be longer than half a second.

#8 I believe this as much as I believe the Russian claims they have destroyed more Ukrainian aircraft than the Ukrainians ever had.

#9 Even if they did destroy a few, from what I have been seeing is that they took out a huge amount of officers and alot of ammo dumps before they did.

#10 LOL. Battle Damage Assessments are notoriously inflated. The US Army Air Force shot down almost twice (x2) the number of Luftwaffe aircraft Germany produced during WW2, for example. Wait until after the conflict when you can compare both sides records.

#11 Were fiction still Fleming and Clancy,
Not Twitter or Milley or Nancy,
And dummies were decoys,
Not amateur sepoys...
We'd tickle those Muscovites fancy.
