Politics thread:
Featuring the least flexible leftoid mental gymnast:
Bernie said it best: "We should always have a debate [about military spending], but the problem is that Ukraine is in the middle of a very intense war right now, I think every day counts, and I think we have to respond as strongly and vigorously as we can."
Maybe we could tax corporations more to pay for this tho instead of continuing to fleece the American people to line the pockets of Raytheon and Lockheed Martin.

US leadership seems to think that it's a handy way of getting rid of a major geopolitical adversary without a single drop of American blood spilled.
What they don't realize is that if Russia does lose bigly, they'll just become another Best Korea (eg Chinese puppet but with way more nukes this time)

If Russia starts capturing our shit they have a better chance of not losing bigly. And the more involved we get the higher the chance Putin says frick it and does something really stupid.

Theyβve already lost bigly, Ukraine could surrender right now and Russia will have still completely destroyed their own credibility as a military power (which is pretty much all they had).
This is really just about showing off to China. If weβre willing to go the extra mile for fricking Ukraine, imagine what weβd do if they invaded someone we like.

Depends on how much hardware they receive from westoids. Ruskies have spent their early vehicle advantage on a rush that failed due to extremely cost-effective defensive tactics and western intel. Add to that a stunted Russian production, it might be just a matter of time until the Ukranians achieve hardware parity, and overall superiority.
