Humvess and Bradleys sitting around are pretty much junk but they do nothing for this war. The real things that make a difference are the patriot missiles, the himars, the UK storm shadows, the 155mm arty shells, and so on. None of these things are in long supply and we actually don't have a ton of them to send off and waste. They're also pretty incredibly expensive. Sure, we get to weaken Russia, but the tangible ROI is pretty sus at this point. When this war ends, they will have more battle hardened troops than prior to the war. They will also have modernized their military as soviet era junk was blown up. It's actually unclear if we're truly going to degrade their military for years to come.




Putin isn't taking all of Europe. That type of dumb shit was brought to you by the same people that peddled WMD's in Iraq.

I was mostly thinking about planes when I decided the theory had legs;

Also I think we both know it’s not about short stocking ourselves but finding ways to funnel the American taxpayers dollars to familiar friends. People think itemized hospital bills are insane, imagine looking at an itemized invoice for an f22 fighter jet. Each bolt is thousands of dollars for no reason other than infinite money funnel.

The WMD push was by the GOP and every American was told they weren’t a patriot if they didn’t go along with it.

I’ll quickly hit this. US inflation is highly related to global inflation regardless of political party. Tariffs, lowering corp taxes, and trying to get the fed to lower rates would 100% drive inflation higher. Hence the reason inflation was higher under trumps first 3 years than Obama’s last 3. Also plenty of analyses have been done such as the one by Goldman Sachs who concluded Kamala’s plan would be bette the economy.

As far as the border, democrats just tried to pass a bill as she’s alluded to in the debate, trump had republicans vote against it so he could continue to campaign on this issue.

The idea that democrats want to defund the police is a myth, democrats have highly funded police alike with republicans.

Israel/ukraine I agree with the approach of allowing and assisting our allies in defending themselves.

The WMD push was by the 200 neocon republicans that support Kamala Harris, she just stated that on the stage 20 minutes ago.

The guy who can't conquer the poorest country in Europe with 5x their population and 15x their GDP is going to takeover a continent infinitely richer that outnumbers him 3:1.

Right, and now the hawks in the Republican party that have always been pro war support Kamala, and it's something she touted of having the old type republicans supporting her while Trumps populism has left those elements in the dust. Back then flag waving retards didn't care that there were no WMD's, today you have the Cheney, McCains and other forever war pushers coming out and saying they support her.

I'm just waiting for one of the moderators to slip and say: "Orange Man Bad".

So you would rate the first three as strong/good enough and the last as mediocre?
