Sir, they started the war. They signed up. Hell, most of them took out extra paychecks after the war started. There was no "draft"

So like no one could not go due to bone spurs.

Obsolete US equipment is still pretty effective at killing people and it's also fleecing the pockets of the guys trying to sell the NEW military equipment.

They should hang this one in the Louvre.

I like how y'all lose an election and then two days later you're immediately like "yeah these people are fucking stupid they don't know anything"

Maybe have some self-awareness. America doesn't believe in your bullshit. Because most of it is - in fact - bullshit. 

Or maybe America is pretty fucking stupid, on balance. See post 206.

Arguing if we should be involved in Ukraine is fine, arguing that us not being involved is going to spare lives is ignorant unless all you care about is Russian lives.

Step 1 -  Hire a ruthless AG.
 

Step 2 — Use RICO liberally.  Bragg.  Leticia James.  Fanni Willis.  Smith.  And anyone in the white house who coordinated with them.  Put their asses in prison. 
 

Trump will now be privy to the DOJ’s coordination in orchestrating the bs claims.   They are already running scared.

Pepperidge Farms remembers.

Ok, he was right or maybe guessed right considering that was 12 years ago.  Funny, he doesn't support your man.

But let's say he was prescient in 2012.

Why wouldn't we then:

Decimate Russia's military;

Get a live-action view of their actual military capabilities in the process; and

Kneecap their economy for a generation or more?

All without putting American boots on the ground and for a paltry 175B over three years?

No one has reduced defense spending, not R or D, largely because it's a huge job program, so what the fuck, in for a penny in for a pound?

Also, it's amazing that certain Republicans are so concerned about poor Ukrainian and Russian boys getting killed but doesn't give a frog's fat ass about poor Americans.

ETA: Also worth noting that when Romney made that assertion, Putin was term-limited and leaving office.  He's now back and unilaterally changed the constitution so he can rule until 2036.  Russia got exponentially more dangerous after 2018.

Except the Hur investigation found no evidence of a crime and Biden cooperated fully with the investigation.  They didn't need a grand jury subpoena and then a search warrant to get documents Biden insisted he didn't have.
