    p.s. Also, don't buy Putin's claim that Ukraine is a proxy war. We need it like a hole in the head.
    Putin is just a mirror of the mainstay folks in the American gov't/military structure.....and vice versa.

    Like I said, a holdover from the Cold War.

    You're not making sense. You want to MAGA moan about "woke" in America, start another thread. The OP is in no way connected to your blather here.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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.
