I was against any action that could be taken for provocation. That isn't an issue now. Ukraine has to stand alone. The rest of the world has to make Russia suffer. Quicker the better. The Russian people need to reevaluate their leadership, as only Russians can.

Don’t agree with a lot of what you say but this is spot on. Why are we paying all this money if we can use it when needed

"I supported 10 years of war in Afghanistan"

The military budget has several purposes, none of which is waging war. It is used to enrich the complex, provide cushy jobs to retiring generals, provide toys for middle aged boys and transfer wealth from ordinary taxpayers to campaign donors.

If the US would have won at the Bucharest NATO summit in April 2008 and Ukraine and Georgia had become members of NATO, three wars would have been avoided: Georgia 2008, Ukraine 2014 & Ukraine 2022. Get lost, appeasers!

It’s the Dark Ages all over again. Barbarian warlords (back then:Franks and Goths, today it’s oligarchs and military contractors) lie to, steal from, oppress, and kill the commoners for profit and power. The regular ppl of the US, Russia and Ukraine are all victims.

I have said it before they prefer to be rich when they kill people, indirectly of course they don't pull the trigger they just make the trigger easier to pull.

Ukrainian butterfly flag symbolizes metamorphosis and rebirth. Maybe Ukraine will wake the world up to the fascists Alek Dugin's religio/ethno ideology taking over the world?

That number is the *budget*. We spend far, FAR more than that.
