Casual Observation on the Ukraine situation.

Current estimates of Ukraine rebuilding costs that I have seen are around $.4 trillion, and going up by the day, all of it expected to come from the West.

WOKE UTOPIA would cost a lot more.

400 billion is a small fraction of the amount that climate alarmists want to spend on a virtually non-existent problem. Think about that, Steve!
 
The WOKE are anti-human. Think about that, Prima!

Seriously, are you going to spam every post by those who think different than you with this "woke" hysteria of yours? It's called trying to hijack a thread.

If you can't or won't discuss the topic at hand, show some maturity and common courtesy and just don't post. Do unto others and all that.
 
Ahhh, but there are no yankees there .... yet.

So we're led to believe. Such a pity that there were plenty for the 2014 coup, the arms deliveries that followed and the buying of huge swathes of Ukrainian agricultural land.
Still, Russia started it , eh.
 
Here's the thing:

As far as the average working class American is concerned, what's going on in the Ukraine isn't putting money in their pocket, food on the table or a roof over their heads, let alone decent bridges to drive over, clean water to drink, a fair justice system ... well, you get the picture.

So IMHO, it's all just a hangover from the old Cold War days. Maybe this time the idiots on all sides will finally get to shoot off all those nifty "tactical nukes" or test out all the advancements in naval, air and ground weapons technology. Of course, the drafted (Gee, I wonder how THAT will go over in America? Russians seem to have the right idea....get on the earliest train, plane, bus out of town.) soldiers will get the crap blown out of them (death, maimed, crippled, pstd, etc.), but those at home will thank them for their service, take up various collections and ignore the FACT that our gov't representatives bicker over administrative veteran funding and such.

And the Ukrainians will STILL have to deal with the neo-Nazi elements in their midst, along with all those nuke power plants and post invasion damage from being a proxy war location.

Yep, seems everything old is new again. :|

Neo Nazi's in their midst? What a fucking stupid comment.
 
Too funny. The board lefties wouldnt touch this thread with a ten foot pole. Puts them in a bad position when one of their own strays from the talking points. :laugh:

It's not worth it when the fucking moron seems to be convinced by Putin of his lies.

More supposition and conjecture on your part. We've done this dance to some extent, so essentially you're :bdh:

Like I said, a holdover from the Cold War.


Mistake to laugh him off.

Oh, don't get me wrong! I'm not "laughing off" anyone or anything regarding this subject. I'm just pointing out the SOS with cynicism.
 
Putin is making a mortal enemy of a neighboring nation It seems people do not like their cities blown up and their families killed. The world does not particularly embrace Russians. This will make it all much worse.

That is what Western Propaganda claims.

Suddenly there's no more MSM coverage of all those Russian draft worthy citizens who were high tailing it out of Russia at the beginning of this mess. You have to wonder what is going to become of them if they choose to return in the future? Or if they'll all start mysteriously dying abroad?

I actually agree with you. This really isn't America's fight and spending--now--hundreds of billions on what amounts to a local Cold War squabble isn't worth the gold being spent on it.

America demanded that this be America's fight, and we demanded war and when it looked like Ukraine and Russia would do a deal to stop the war we made sure that it did not happen.

Wake the fuck up.
