The word is “social engineering”
and yes, your word “investment” is used by leftists and statists to hide every manner of corrupt spending - it might be for more tanks, more bloated health-care bureaucracy, more union teachers teaching trans ideology.
They use it to cover all manner of sins. And yes, your Ukraine project falls into that domain.
May it end soon.
What’s keeping Europe from sending more then?
And why must our borders be ignored?
Percentage of budget doesn’t matter if it’s not an expenditure that we need to do to begin with.
So robbing me achieves warmongering foreign policy.
Thanks for admitting that.
The national strategy of the US since 1945.
The US has maintained this with great consistency.
Its been the opposite of “warmongering”, in spite of continuous vicious opposition by mainly communist/leftist propaganda campaigns over the decades.
Your opinions/arguments are really the same old stuff out of the US domestic and international left. You sound like campus characters out of 1978.
Meh, you are the hapless child of Ukes who moved to Canada. And you are wistful for those childhood tales of Bandera and UPA. You aren’t a real Canadian.
Go away...
In pursuit of this strategy, the US has “robbed” your father and grandfather as well. And mine too.
It is your turn.
“Their shoulders held the sky suspended;
They stood, and the earth’s foundations stay;”
Yes they were.
Korean war never truly ended.
Vietnam was an idiotic loss.
We’ve squandered the treasure of the nation on “police actions” and proxy wars for little to no benefit.
The only beneficiary were corrupt officials.
“It might not have been easy, but Russia could have been slowly brought into the European fold”
They made a significant effort to that end for almost two decades. Every effort they made was met with insult, disdain, and exploitation.
And DC managed to turn them into a foe again... for profit and cynical political reasons. And they will now be a foe for several decades at least.
“Your opinions/arguments are really...”
Why should the opinion of a foreigner who admits that they did a pump and dump and left their progeny here be given any weight?
The Moors reconquered your country on 11 March 2004.
The Left adored the Soviet Union, recall Gorbasms where they went orgiastic over Gorbechov.
When the Soviet system collapsed, the left began acting like a jilted lover.
And ever since they’ve done as you mentioned.
So because some leftoid nutjobs misuse the word “investment” it should not be used? As a guy whose career was doing infrastructure “investments” (project management in the energy indusry), you sound loopy.
This Ukraine business is a war.
The US military hardware, the industrial base for it, the R&D and training institutions behind it, all of that, are investments.
You are trying to wiggle out of getting pinned. You cannot answer my argument, so you have to go “foreigner, foreigner”.
BS
You are just incompetent.
Who made a ‘significant effort’? Russia, or Europe/US?
Why should I care about the opinion of a foreigner who says he’s so superior that he left his family here and likes it so much better in (supposedly) Spain?
Fine.
Destroy it in transit, once inside the borders of the ukrainiacs.
Are you the FR self-appointed psycho therapist?
Exactly which part of;
“[Destroy the shipment]
...with no human casualties of course”
...sounds insane, doctor biden?
He’s supposedly in Spain.
Has claimed he is superior.
He also said he improved our country by leaving his dna receptacle and offspring here as he skated back to Spain.
The Russians.
Yes, I agree. I thought the Nordstream was a big step and would help move towards political normalcy due to interdependence. I was wrong.
Destroy explosive weapons like Patriot missiles without casualties?
While (necessarily) destroying infrastructure in 3rd party countries?
And then the fundamental whackiness of supporting Russian aggression vs Ukraine (and all of Eastern Europe while you’re at it).
I saw the perfect bumper sticker that encapsulates what this support for the Ukraine is REALLY about. It was a sticker with a rainbow that said “FCK Putin”.
