The last thing I want from any red blooded American if for them to compromise their principals.
If they don’t want a shot, by all means, hold the line. Fuck them shots.
But if their place of employment changes their requirements for employment, them more power to them too!
BUT if my left ventricular ejection fraction drops another 10 points from contracting covid (as it already has, twice) and I need a LVAD implant I dont want to hear shit from anybody! NOT A FUCKING PEEP! about being permanently disabled and sucking off the gubmint teat.
Thats right. They’re gonna have to abrogate their freedom of speech, or I’ll exercise my 2nd by shooting them in the fucking face.
Could you please elaborate? I mean, I’ve heard these exact comments repeated verbatim on social media hundreds of times but would really like to hear (in all seriousness) more about this theory.
There isn’t really a war? People aren’t dying? How is money being laundered? Is Ukraine selling for example 155m HE rounds to third parties?
Yeah, but not exactly. Dr. Snyder from Yale, whom I’ve had the immense pleasure to listen to live, gets it. He really gets it and it’s no wonder he’s the preeminent historian on EE & CEE. I highly recommend reading his masterworks Black Earth and Bloodlands.
So, you don’t think the Biden crime family, Putin and Zelensky are not in cahoots with each other
i will rephrase not being a war…its not a war between the governments, its a money laundering scheme that is killing innocent civilians to fool everyone into thinking its a war
I could swear that I once read, Moscow was built up from colonizers from the area that is Kyiv. Too lazy (read - busy reading wordy contracts loaded with legalese) to look, but does that sound accurate? If true, maybe they should be doing the ‘cleansing’.
As for everyone in this thread who may find themselves disagreeing with my concerns about America’s place in this conflict and the impacts of unrestrained spending here at home, I encourage you to ponder the following two questions that nobody has answered yet.
What is it that you would like to see come out of this conflict?
How do you think it should be brought about?
I don’t always choose the best words on my iphone early in the morning, so I’ll rephrase the questions a bit better.
What is the goal of this conflict that the American taxpayer should keep in mind as things like home ownership and even vehicle ownership grow increasingly out-of-reach as our currency inflates and the daily cost of both providing for our basic needs and conducting business continues to go up?
What are the means by which this strategic war goal will be achieved?
You’re being a knee-jerk contrarian again. There is no realistic path to…
Any political collapse of the Russian Federation as it exists today will surely involve tremendous death and suffering.
This is an abstract rabbit hole. Let’s get back to reality. Can anyone give a straightforward answer to these straightforward questions?
What is the goal of this conflict that the American taxpayer should keep in mind as things like home ownership and even vehicle ownership grow increasingly out-of-reach?
What are the means by which this strategic war goal will be achieved?
Get out of the conflict, none of our business
Keep the money out of the conflict, spend it here at home first…if there is any left over then you help abroad
That should be the tax payers mindset when it comes to the ukraine/russia mess
Peaceful coexistence between Ukrain and Russia (ideally). Or at least not the slaughter of civilians at the hands of a neighboring states army.
But, Russia does have a pretty bad history with its neighbors.
The unified front presented by NATO seems to keep them in check, in that “if you mess with one of us, you mess with all of us” makes it harder to annihilate single smaller countries one by one.
Anything moving forward toward peace is definitely going to require regime change though.
The zero sum socio/ economic mindset that russia seems to embody is just going to have to be tolerated. That will never change. Best way to deal with that, and the threat of violence that accompanies it is through unity pacts and other diplomatic routes.
No idea. We should just keep lying, really. Scapegoat a race or demonize another country like Russia or something. Maybe the Chinese.
What ever we did in the past that kept the wheels turning to get us this far.
