Ron Paul is spot on. The Ukie war cheerleaders will not like this. How much you wanna bet some of Kadyrov’s Islamic boys ( or even Vlad) see to it some of those Stingers come home? Kadyrov did thank “ the old man” for the Javelins, and Stingers, asked him to send more.

Of course, those of you that suck down the western MSM and think giving almost one third of our Javelins and one quarter of our Stinger inventories is a good thing, you are fools….hint: best estimate by DOD is a two year replacement schedule to replace them.

Look at the bright side. The defense conglomerates aren’t “sin stocks” anymore.

There are, indeed, a ton of war profiteers out there.

Lots of people playing on emotions, too.

Just like any bad situation. Bad people never let bad situations go to waist. It could be simple Harlem looters who use a blackout to cause crime. It could be pharmaceutical companies taking advantage of a pandemic, natural or unnatural. It could be politicians. Or gun runners. Or drug dealers.

That said, the existence of scum bags seeking profit doesn’t lessen the fact there is a problem.

Here, there is a problem. Russia invaded Ukraine unprovoked. Russia had no interest in the Ukraine until massive oil and gas reserves were discovered in the Ukraine. These reserves poised a direct threat to Russia’s only export of value.

That’s it.

Russia is a bad actor. Yes, there are bad people seeking to rob, steal, rape, and pillage as a result. That doesn’t lessen the fact Russia is a bad actor.

Smedley Butler was right, almost 100 years ago.

Yep, Ron Paul is over target. Who in their right mind would volunteer to give their life for Zelensky, Biden, and the Davos oligarchs? Eisenhower warned us over 60 years ago.

I will say that him and the Chinese have picked the perfect time to mess with the world and upset the globalists plan for a great reset. If there is going to be a reset then it will be on the Communist terms and our lack of leadership will be what lets it happen.
China unleashed the global pandemic the likes of which hasn’t been seen in 100 years and nobody blinked an eye. Russia has declared war on their neighbor when is wreaking havoc and threatening all of NATO yet the world is still buying his oil.
Americans are being robbed blind to pay people to invade our country and break our laws.
Our problems will continue for as long as people deny reality and pretend that these problems don’t exist.
I feel like the only adult at the puppet show when I read the news.
