So all the crazy money that was going to NGO's was a political stunt? Go back and read what was considered wasteful, then maybe we can discuss what each of us consider money well spent, line by line.

Well the USAID was almost 2 billion before the courts ordered it to be distributed.

I went online to check prices between an 850XCR and 900, I guess I shouldn't be surprised the 850 was gone.

I'm assuming you're talking about the Democrat challenger for the November election, that seems to be the direction Democrats are hanging their hats on, so I think that district will easily stay Republican.

Nuclear Weapons, and he did mention he'd use them if he had to.

No I highlighted what Putin used as a reason to invade, I included the link that went back to what you say was conveniently left out. There was aggression from both sides, turns out Russia wasn't bluffing and that puts us where we're at now, do we keep dumping money into a lost cause without change, negotiate peace, or commit to an all out war? Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't see any other options.

Dec. 17 2021: Russia presents security demands including that NATO pull back troops and weapons from eastern Europe and bar Ukraine from ever joining. Jan. 24 2022: NATO puts forces on standby and reinforces eastern Europe with more ships and fighter jets. Jan. 26: Washington responds to Russia's security demands, repeating a commitment to NATO's "open-door" policy while offering a "pragmatic evaluation" of Moscow's concerns. Two days later Russia says its demands not addressed. Feb. 2022: Amid growing Western fears Russia could attack Ukraine, the United States says it will send 3,000 extra troops to NATO members Poland and Romania. Washington and allies say they will not send troops to Ukraine, but warn of severe economic sanctions if Russian President Vladimir Putin takes military action. https://www.reuters.com/article/world/timeline-the-events-leading-up-to-russias-invasion-of-ukraine-idUSKBN2KX2AM/ So where are you, continue as we have for 3 years and keep pouring money into Ukraine, or try cut Ukraine's losses and try negotiate a peace deal, or maybe have NATO commit to all out war? I don't see any other options.

But NATO didn't stop them but only antagonized Russia, and now Ukraine is suffering for it, It goes back to the rules of a gun fight, If you're going to pull a gun you better plan to use it. NATO pulled the gun on Russia, and was warned. NATO didn't have the balls to pull the trigger, and Russia answered by pulling the trigger, invading Ukraine. The result is loss of thousands of lives and billions of dollars spent. Are you comfortable with this conflict continuing and the US funneling unchecked Billions of dollars to fight what has become a lost cause or do you feel NATO should grow a pair and actually go to war along with Ukraine and commit 100% of their troops and actually go to war and try end it, those are the only 2 options now.

Up until Russia invaded Ukraine, Putin had stated multiple times that he considered NATO's movement or progression to the Russian border as a threat, he was very vocal about it and it was reported regularly before the invasion, why is there no discussion about that now from mainstream media? I feel NATO's ignoring Russias concerns then threats was a big contributor to the invasion. Just like Vietnam and the Middle East conflicts it's been a good place to funnel money, How many more Billions of dollars and lives lost before you'd accept it's time to back away. How'd we do in Vietnam, Iran, Iraq, Afghanistan, did we really change the outcome of any conflict that wasn't a World War?

If you read the next post it explains Russias stance on moving troops to their border, I never said they had troops in Ukraine.

“This was … always about naked aggression, about Putin’s desire for empire by any means necessary,” President Joe Biden said on Feb. 24, 2022. The opposing view argues that Russia’s security concerns are in fact genuine, and that NATO expansion eastward is seen by Russians as directed against their country. Putin has been clear for many years that if continued, the expansion would likely be met with serious resistance by the Russians, even with military action. The ConversationUkraine war follows decades of warnings that NATO expansi...Lost in the outrage over Russia’s invasion of Ukraine is the fact that many in the West have long warned that widespread NATO expansion into Eastern Europe could spark just such a conflict.

The question ignored is would this have happened if NATO hadn't stationed troops along the border to intimidate Russia in the first place, they kicked the dog and the dog bit them. About. the only thing this police action accomplished is in the future Russia will question is if what they're trying to annex is worth it. And with the accountably starting to enter the federal government, I have a strong feeling the politicians yelling the loudest will be discovered getting their pockets lined.

The only way it won't end with surrender is if the US and Europe commit to all out war and get totally involved, won't happen, as long as they keep going like they are surrender is only delayed, how many lives need to be lost and Billions of dollars spent before reality sets in.

For some reason I remember the whole Russian invasion was about retaliation to NATO stationing troops on the border, Putin told NATO they had to be removed or there would be consequences.

Don't forget how it all started. EXCLUSIVE: @SecRubio on Canada, 51st State and the Hot Mic Moment HERRIDGE: “In a hot mike moment, Canada’s prime minister said that absorbing Canada “is a real thing.” Is it a real thing?” SECRETARY RUBIO: “Yeah, look, you know how that came about? President’s meeting with Trudeau and Trudeau says, well, if you impose – if you even out our trade relationship, then we will cease to exist a country, at which point the President responded very logically, and that is, well, if you can’t exist without cheating in trade, then you should become a state. That was his observation there.” QUESTION: “That’s how it started?” SECRETARY RUBIO: “It is how it started.”

To deny things aren't progressing is astonishing, Tusi is now confirmed and when he has his full cabinet things will keep progressing, the border crossings are down about 95%, criminals are finally being deported, FEMA money that was going to house illegals is being clawed back, proof that social security was being abused has been exposed all this in just a few weeks, I'm impressed.

Delayed in Court, he expected this and mentioned it several times while campaigning and how he was putting a legal team together to fight these activist Judges, I'm excited to see where we're at, at his state of the union speech.

I've known since I was a kid about corruption and wasteful spending by the government, I'm enjoying the show, it appears the most corrupt are also the most upset, but I guess we should have let themselves clean up their own corrupt practices.

What if they put a 100% tariff on Ski-Doos.

The Government didn't persecute her or force her to to be fired, so she probably violated company policy, even if on her own personal page, it's no different than if she went on a rant using the N word, and the company can choose to let her go if they feel it reflects on the company negatively.

Come on, I assume you're smarter than that, you even stated the place has shrunk, or are you saying everyone has gotten smaller?
