I get that. I just tend to think there is more to the story than what I read in the press and the US Military can keep some things secret. I hope that for the size of our military budget and our talent in technology we get more than what we see. I could be wrong and simply don't want to believe it.Why would the “US government allow”? ..

^^^ as radical as that statement may seem, this is a necessary eventual outcome. Along with the 100+ year of Russian history of destroying anything they view as even a slight obstacle to their desires. The type of behavior we see in Ukraine is part of the DNA of the Russian ruling class.Putin needs to die.
Yes.Putin needs to die.
I mentioned this among some, lets say, sympathetic coworkers last week. Shit storm ensued. No more politics at work. mtmuleyPutin needs to die.
This applies to a lot of things - Retirement, education, saving, hunting tags, and geopolitical problems. The price you have to pay today will look very small in comparison to the price you will pay to fix this later on.I just don't know if Americans are willing to pay the price that might be necessary to make a stand here. Whatever sacrifice is required here will pay huge dividends.
In the Root? NO way? The people here are the brightest................ NOT.I mentioned this among some, lets say, sympathetic coworkers last week. Shit storm ensued. No more politics at work. mtmuley

Trump praises Putin for invading Ukraine,,,"in Trumps own words"
Trump Praises Putin, Leaving Republicans in a Bind
G.O.P. leaders, while condemning Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, were silent on comments made by the former president. Some figures on the right amplified them.www.nytimes.com
This.Two sides to a heaping pile of steaming American dog turds and the both stink
Have been for the last 20… see no evidence to change that thinking.Your gonna be voting independent the rest of your life.
I wish we could get that independent vote to count. Everything that people squabble about isn't destroying America....the two party system is.Have been for the last 20… see no evidence to change that thinking.
Well said. My feelings exactly.I wish we could get that independent vote to count. Everything that people squabble about isn't destroying America....the two party system is.
Been saying this for a while now. It’s time for the Hanks and Homers of America, to show the youth how it’s done!!View attachment 213630
Similarly, at this time, the USA is one sunken ship or one invaded NATO member away from engaging our ground troops.
Up to 75 Percent of US Youth Ineligible for Military Service. Lack of Education, Physical Problems Disqualify Most.
That fact and statistic is truly what’s truly most alarming and frightening. We can’t muster an Army like WW1 or WW2 due to current youth obesity, mental health issues, lack of education, and opiod/prescription pill usage. The enemy could just walk right in!

So, who isn't bright? Us from here, or the new ones? mtmuleyIn the Root? NO way? The people here are the brightest................ NOT.
In order for you to buy into the extremism, you have to be missing a few brain cells in the first place. I'm pretty sure you can figure "Who" I'm talking about.So, who isn't bright? Us from here, or the new ones? mtmuley
China can't sell it's goods to just Russia though.We were able to defeat the Soviets without firing a weapon due to our ability to economically cripple them. But this was achieved at a time when China was an impoverished 3rd world country and Russia had no viable trading partners. Now that China is the #2 economy and #1 manufacturer in the world it is unclear how "sanctions" can ever work against these two again. China will prop up Russia if we go 1970's style economic isolation approach.
We can't put the China genie in the bottle. Our catastrophic miscalculations with both China and Russia occurred in the 1990's when we wrongly assumed that capitalism and modern economies necessarily moved countries to liberal democracies (that we could have cheap HDTVs and still be the lone superpower) -- this is obviously is not the case. In the next decade or two, we will have the simple choice between acquiescence and boots-on-the-ground war again and again. My guess is acquiescence is America's answer for now as we have grown weary of the role of "protector of democracy" for a world that doesn't seem to care and allies who seem to respect us less than our enemies. In my opinion, the real price will be paid in 20 years or so, when acquiescence has run out of things to surrender and WW3 with be the only option. I fear that the only thing that short circuits this in the next decade is the Chinese and Russian people toppling their govts - but at this point, it seems unlikely. If our interest was to remain a global stabilizing power against large dictatorships (communist or otherwise) we really screwed the pouch in the 90's.
