You imagine a lot of things
Perhaps so but not as many things as your wife I suspect.
Nyet, comrade
I think in the ‘whose reply was most clever’ category of awards, I win going away.
Stick with your "imagining" comrade
Why hasn’t Europe stepped up in this capacity already?
I imagine the US will find itself alone before long. (Fixed it for you.) And when China starts taking stuff in the Pacific why the hell should Europe support the country that abandoned it?
I hope this is true, and at the same time if it is, we should have done it 18 months ago when we realized the battle lines weren't going to move much anymore.
Europe had a tentative agreement worth over $100 billion in aid all ready to go. But just as the two parties got together in preparation for the signing ceremony they noticed Zelenskyy's agent had slipped in an open, line-item entry for 'Cocaine - personal use only' and they walked away.
Because he and his countrymen are gutting the military infrastructure of one of our primary geopolitical rivals and costing us a pittance in funding to do it.
Yeah, Russia has really been gutted.
They are making more money then ever off of their oil revenue because of this war.| 2020 | 72.4 |
| 2021 | 110.2 |
| 2022 | 180.0 |
| 2023 | 192.0 |
| 2024 | 239.7 |
Did you see Zelensky yesterday? Sure his country was invaded, schools and children's hospitals targeted in bombings, multiple attempts on his life, but he didn't even wear a suit when Trump put him on the spot and wanted him to beg for aid.
Brilliant. Now find a graph about what Russia has been spending the last few years on military operations, the cost of sanctions, and the cost in human terms for an already stagnant population.Yeah, Russia has really been gutted.
If you think Russia has been gutted by this war, you are delusional. And, rvrn if that were tue, then what would you decribe what has been done to the Ukrainian peple? Your liberal party and its leader could have prevented this war and didn't. And, now the Dems have one of the lowest party approval ratings in history. This war is one of the reasons......
If you call 200,000,000,000+ billion a pittance, the start sending extra on your taxes and tell them to send it to Ukraine instead of helping those in need here in the US. Or, you could move a place like Spain who came one SO strong in support of Ukraine, while giving .01% of what we have given, while at the same time, making sure they get their money back.
Oh, and here is how gutted Russia is. They are laughing all the way to the bank. Facts Matter.

"Over the past 4 years, Russia's oil export revenues have exploded. Below is an overview of the estimated annual revenues for the past 5 years:
2020 72.4 2021 110.2 2022 180.0 2023 192.0 2024 239.7
He was replying to a different individual and suddenly you came in and answered him . . . as if you were the 1st individual.
If he wore a suit they would claim the US paid for it.
No, you find the graph and post it. Again, they are laughing all the way to the bank and have an unbelievable amount more of fighters then Ukraine does.
Wait, you think Putin cares about that? BTW, it is WAY down from it's high of almost 14% 2 years ago.
You're wrong. Again.Yeah, Russia has really been gutted.

Is that why they are bringing in North Koreans?
You mean THE US of A, And only have support from EUROPE, CANADA, THE BALTIC COUNTRIES.
A hero dies a single death, a coward dies a million times.
He is bringing North Koreans to sooth his own population. He is realizing that his people want the war over as well. So, lets get this done
So now you're saying Putin is under so much pressure from his own populace that he has to bring in North Koreans to "sooth" them. That doesn't make for a strong nbegotiating position.
Putin and the orcs go home. Easy peasy.
He is evil, but not entirrly stupid. And, where was I wrong on the exports of oil...the data I showed was accurate. BTW, I see that you (or maybe your sibling) are posting under the other screen name today as well. LOL!!
Great info......Russia does not even belong to the iea.
