Decomposed > Exactly. In fact, this you've just described the chief problem I have with ribit's and Zimbler's positions. Neither seems to care about the high expense of fighting an protracted war, one where the United States derives little benefit. Ukraine is Vietnam all over again, in my opinion. Did we learn nothing?


Except, De,
That what we are spending on Ukraine is chump change compared to what the American government is spending on stupid stuff. Another example is the gazillions of dollars biden wants to spend bulding electric car charging stations all over the country . . .Charging stations most Americans won't be able to use cause we can't afford those electric cars.

How many more gazillions of dollars are we now spending 'helping' illegal immigrants?

And the lists just go on and on and on . . .

If fending off Russia would cost the west a pittance, I'd be a little more supportive. But that's not the case. The cost per capita is in the hundreds of dollars - too much! - for which we derive little except a depleted stockpile of armaments and ammo.

China must be laughing its ass off.
