I wasn't mean. I made a simple statement. By design or not, you are parroting Putin.
Russian disinformation!
It's propagnda 101: any opposition to the cause is working for the enemy.
Demonization and emotional manipulation.
No he wants to get a peace deal and use it as leverage, one that you're told he shouldn't do bc its putin propaganda or something to propose that.Doubtful. What could they do with it? They certainly can't take it back to Ukraine. The troubling thing is your parroting of Putin.
Zelensky has a much simpler reason for going into Kursk. Ukraine hopes to create a buffer zone.
Your response is going to be interesting.
Can that soviet tech take over all of Europe if he gets passed Ukraine?Yeah, old western equipment still runs circles around 1970s and 1980s soviet tech.
Try* and not all of europe. Just the former USSR.Can that soviet tech take over all of Europe if he gets passed Ukraine?
I'm not sure how you came up with that from my posts. Maybe you can show meIts always hilarious when any debate on this topic inevitably goes there. As if there is only one side playing the propaganda game.
Thats why i maintain the position none of us really have any idea whats going on over there. Sadly thats exactly what is intended. That fact its intended is what should really make people question everything. Instead many people question nothing and just choose a side because its popular.

---Ukraine is slightly smaller than Texas and Kiev is about 130 miles from the Russian border (that’s a little further than Louisville to the TN border)
Why can’t Russia take Kiev? You think the US couldn’t take something that close if they wanted to?

Putin absolutely looks weak AF and we should support that. He is a Bond-villain menace and hopefully his time on earth is short.
I just don’t get how some of you are pro-Putin.
I do think the effer might decide to use a low level nuke.
---Iraq
Pot meet kettle.It's propagnda 101: any opposition to the cause is working for the enemy.

You take is that we ever wanted to take & hold the places we took & gave up on. Trump has talked about buying Greenland. Putin is completely different on this.---
Taking something is one thing, holding it is another thing altogether. What has the US been able to "take & hold" since the Korean War? God knows we've had plenty of chances.
Just who do you think is gonna pause?Here we go again. Putin puppets!
Just because some people like me want to pause until we get straight information doesn't mean we side with putin.
Your argument of he is either totally inept or totally the worst thing ever is spurious.
He is a dictator that invaded a sovereign country on made up pretenses.
The world will be better off when Putin is dead. It’s obvious you feel otherwise.
As to the other moron, we absolutely took control of Iraq and Pakistan. We held it as long as we wanted. In our country, the people have more of a voice. We don’t have a de facto dictator. If we had one, we could have held on to Iraq as long as we really wanted.
Just who do you think is gonna pause?
The same way Ukraine is beating them….with American supplies and weapons.I dont understand how Russia could take on Nazi Germany and win 80 years ago but can't even take over Ukraine.
They either aren't putting enough cannon fodder bodies into the breach or something.
And I get they beat the Nazis in part due to the other Allies finally launching a western 2nd front in 1944 before anyone says that. They did have like 75 to 80% of the German army against them on the eastern front.
It's not like the US and allies actually have tons of soldiers in Ukraine holding the Russians back. Supplies and weapons only go so far.
The federal reserve?It isnt spurious if you know what that word actually means.
Everything you put forth is a strawman. We shouldn't pour billions into killing a bad guy unless said bad guy can take over the world. He clearly cannot. We are not the world police.
If he cant take over Ukraine, and by most reports is actually losing, he is certainly no threat worth further enslaving generations to the hidden tax of inflation.
The irony is everything the pro Ukraine crowd spews about Putin is literally actually true about xi and china. Yet noone dares even utter a cross word in his direction or point all the progress already made towards world domination and the clear acts toward that path.
So if we're going to enslave ourselves with inflation, at least point the barrel at the true threat.
Noone and thats the problem.
Would have been good to say so to begin with & avoid these necessary posts.It isnt spurious if you know what that word actually means.

That’s actually a really good point. Off topic, I also agree with your take on bankruptcy for school loans, would cut a lot of that stuff out.Im all for tearing them down but a big part of their power comes because Congress cant balance a budget without printing money. They print money because raising taxes is too unpopular. So instead we get the hidden tax of inflation.
I bet there would be way less support for this campaign if Congress had to raise taxes to pay for it. Instead the print money and blame corporate boogeyman.
Taxes are theft. So is inflation.Im all for tearing them down but a big part of their power comes because Congress cant balance a budget without printing money. They print money because raising taxes is too unpopular. So instead we get the hidden tax of inflation.

Yeah, old western equipment still runs circles around 1970s and 1980s soviet tech.
I’ve already said I wish there was a way we could support Ukraine, without taxes.Then support for the war funding is support for theft.

You are being made poorer (than you otherwise would be), and are propagandized to be happy about it, while hundreds of thousands are dying in a war which could've easily been avoided through competent diplomacy if they actually desired peace instead of profit.

That's the point...no one is pro putin, everyone is just calling out this absurd idea that putin is going to take over all of Europe and be puppet master of the universe. He's not going to and never was...Russia has an economy smaller than Italy and that was before the war.Ukraine is slightly smaller than Texas and Kiev is about 130 miles from the Russian border (that’s a little further than Louisville to the TN border)

The Taliban is in charge of Afghanistan and Alqaeda is still operating there after 20 years of combat. Do you really want to throw stones?Ukraine is slightly smaller than Texas and Kiev is about 130 miles from the Russian border (that’s a little further than Louisville to the TN border)

Several reasons. Stalin would've thrown every last body out there. Their death tolls show this. 2. Hitler was a dumbass. He could've avoided stalingrad and went forth with more sound objectives, but went for it out of arrogance bc it was named after Stalin. 3. Blitzkrieg was ineffective in urban street combat added with the vast size of Soviet Russia. 4. Instead of sending all soldiers to fight the war they were using an absurd amount of manpower and vital supplies to fight their personal war ---killing jews. (And yes the western front also). On and on.I dont understand how Russia could take on Nazi Germany and win 80 years ago but can't even take over Ukraine.

The only one who believes that is you. People are talking about the former USSR countries. But keep repeating the “all of europe” strawman.That's the point...no one is pro putin, everyone is just calling out this absurd idea that putin is going to take over all of Europe and be puppet master of the universe. He's not going to and never was...Russia has an economy smaller than Italy and that was before the war.
The eastern front was also their personal war. Nazi thought calls for making Russia “living space” for aryans. Connecting it to an highway system, that goes back to Germany (autobahn). And wiping out all of the slavs. Only saving a few for slave labor.Several reasons. Stalin would've thrown every last body out there. Their death tolls show this. 2. Hitler was a dumbass.
