If Ukraine wins, which is impossible, we lose even more.

It's possible. Putin is 71 years old. He grew up in the Soviet Union so his life expectancy is probably 10 more years.

Ukraine will have to hold out for 10 years. It appears that the Ukrainian population is unwilling to surrender to the Russians.

What is Ukraine “winning” even supposed to look like?

They are literally not fascists because they support open borders and are destroying US industry by appointing loyal commie lieutenants to run them.

They literally are communists and Marxists.

You tell me.

Why are they running the universities, much of corporate America and much of the other US institutions?

The Kremlin has funded perpetual meddling here for a very long time. Does some reason exist to believe it stopped?

The US institutions enabling Biden to steal the election are run by communists and Marxists in part thanks to Russia meddling in the US for well over 100yrs.

Ukrainians Yevgeny and Alexander Vindman already got caught committing treason trying to overturn a U.S. election.

They don’t want Ukraine to win, they just want to blame MAGA for them not winning.

Great points. We’ve been involved in proxy wars with Russia and China since the Korean War. The U.S. has been losing ever since.

Excellent point.

The two are not mutually exclusive nor remotely equivalent.

and Putin got caught being behind the fracking bans in NY, MD and WA to destabilize our economy, reduce our energy independence and drive up the price of fuel to invade Ukraine.

WEF/Soros and Putin are on the same climatescam page in regards to US energy output.

I get the confusion though-it’s the most contrived war in human history. Pitting our tax dollars vs our energy policy-we send Ukraine $100billion while Russia’s GDP is 50% higher on our energy policy or add another digit to the indirect aid to Russia.

The government prints the money out of the air.
The money goes to arms manufacturers.
They make weapons.
A bunch of the money goes into pockets all round.
A few weapons go to Ukraine.
They shoot it at the Russians.
They come back wanting more.
The EU yawns and sips their wine.

It’s not about winning.

It’s about skimming

In fairness, what Biden does or doesn’t know it irrelevant. Biden doesn’t know how wheels work, but it doesn’t mean what wheels do.

Russia continues to sell oil to fund Putin’s war machine. If we’re smart, we’re drill for more oil in the U.S. so we can lower the price per barrel to around $60.

I agree. The best way to hurt Russia is “ Drill, baby, drill”.

Flooding the world with oil ends the war quickly.

When Trump wins, the war for all intents and purposes is over.

Russia’s economy is the size of 1 1/2 NY supporting 150million Russians and is completely dependent on fuel prices.

There is zero oil and gas in Maryland and Washington. The Marcellus Shale play does extend from Pennsylvania into New York.

exactly!

and in 2013 when Obama and crew watched oil soar to $140/bbl at one point-

Putin used his new found wealth to invade and annex Crimea in 2014.

It would also send Iran back to the poor house.

Instead our commie led institutions chose climatescam over potential WWIII and nukes.

The problem is that we have guys like Al Gore and John Kerry working as Joe's handlers. We will continue to restrict oil exploration and expanding permits for companies to drill oil in the U.S.

So there will be a demand for Russian oil in international marketplace. And right now, that's all they got. And we're not stopping them because we have amateurs in the White House.

they’re not mutually exclusive.

It was an EO Biden signed on Jan 28th, 2021.

The bans came first and the intel was picked up in the endless get Trump, Russia investigation.

That would be day -1000+ something.
