Russian invasion into Ukraine is imminent

bc Russia is incompetent and is all numbers . and the US was helping them protect infrastructure and communications
If Russia is this incompetent, why were we concerned about engaging them in Syria back in 2016? If they are this incompetent, why do we spend 15 times what they do on defense?

Russia is completely incompetent. That was all the talk of the first 60 days of this conflict. That’s why Putin replaced the general in charge of this entire operation and they CHANGED their objective

So.., we’re not incompetent. They don’t even maintain their military equipment There are all kinds of articles describing this

Don't you think 3 or 4 times as much would be adequate? If they are #2, how far ahead of them do we need to be?

No, their equipment is THAT BAD

It’s all irrelevant ANYWAY to compare our spending to Russia’s. We aren’t ever going to have a conventional war with them

The question is that if the #2 military is this inept, how much should we really be spending to stay ahead of them? Remember that this is "defense" spending.
 
Team Genocide? You there?


So after we spend a trillion dollars on this special military operation and Russia continues to have a budget surplus and still captures at least parts of ukraine, what was the gain for the taxpayers? I don't want to make your tiny brain hurt, but I love to see something besides "team genocide".

You must be part of the “do nothing” about gun control group as well

There’s nothing more to say to your BDS obsessed brain. You complain incessantly about this and Russia winning, but offer nothing else

It's funny because the direct military and support spending is just a fraction of it. We are still buying Russian oil products via India.

Even worse in Europe with oil dependency. They depend on Russia for oil and natural gas. They are completely funding russia's war and defeat of ukraine.

Now Russia has a budget surplus, stronger currency, and control more Ukrainian territory. What's the end goal here?

Well, Ukraine has already used up that 40 billion we sent them last week. I wonder what the US got for that investment other than Ukraine shutting off energy exports to the rest of Europe.
 
The toss them billions and hope for the best strategy isn't working. Next is just giving Russis exactly what they were going to get anyway.

So…., what’s the strategy of team Genocide, Knighttime? Turn up the BDS volume control?
 
That’s not a good answer. Try again
Maybe instead of giving money to Ukraine, we contract oil producers to expedite drilling, expand refining capacity, and produce more fertilizer. Choke off Putins honeypot by flooding the market with the commodities that he's getting rich off of.

It seems rather elementary. Immediate approval of oil leases with financial incentives to increase supply. Add government backed projects on federal lands for a higher royalty kick backs to taxpayers. Guarantee oil companies an incentive to over supply the market. For the environmentalists use the royalties for energy efficiency programs.

On one hand we are giving away billions a week to an endless proxy war. Then the war is enriching Russia from increased oil prices while making us have run away inflation because we won't fill the energy gap.

We still have about 4 million barrels per day of unused capacity in refining, and also a depleted strategic reserve. There's no reason that we shouldn't focus on upping our oil extraction right now, even if that means we have to subsidize a few oil producers.

Definitely cheaper to subsidize oil producers and choke out the putin war machine vs just doing nothing and handing over $50 billion per month to ukraine to an endless war. Just maybe oversupplying oil can tame inflation too which was self inflected in the first place.

And you think this is going to be accomplished in a few weeks or a a few months? That still might not change anything in regards to India and China buying oil cheaply. If we don’t support Ukraine at all, then they will basically overrun Ukraine quickly and we still are going to spend more money supporting the next country they set their sights on

Is that how much we are paying per month?

If you can drop the price of oil below Russia's production cost, you cut their revenue stream. Yes, I think we could accomplish it in the matter of a few months, but more importantly the traders that actually set the price would lower their bids so it would have an immediate effect.

Look, we know that Russia will eventually take whatever part of Ukraine they want. Then, if they choose to move on they will take the next country. Either we engage them militarily or we find a way to actually impoverish them.

I agree, never rely on 1 source... In this case, I've seen a few articles on the matter:

Disclose is just an aggregator of news stories from sources like the AP, Reuters, ABC, etc. I have yet to come across one of their reports that wasn't true.
 
Disclose TV is a chud, unreliable Twitter site. Nobody is clicking on that crap
Correction, Ucfmikes. nobody is clinking on that crap who is interested in reality.

It figures that our resident, racist, conspiracy theorist uses that as his goto for disinformation. However, @UCFBS just makes things up and posts them as fact. Or, he’ll cite his own Twitter account as a source 😂

The cesspool at its finest 😊
