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)

Yeah if the CCP was running the show Russia absolutely would not have done this, theyd have offered Ukraine shitty loans or something instead or maybe occupied the Novorossiya area at most

Man, looking at things now, russians might have to start at least one military operation.
Will all of this brings us another mediocre Sabaton song?

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.

Chinese people loves money more than rice. They aren't taking on hard times like Russians just to likely fail gaining another 100 million people + an Island.

If you thinking nukes, that's not gonna happen.
If you thinking that he might start another military operation - that might. Current targets - Moldova ( bigger possibility) or Finland ( if he is really blind about his own military power).

How? They just leave Ukraine (except for Crimea and Donbass), recruit some troops to make up for their losses, and China takes them over in all but name?

Gotta launder the printed money somehow. Send billions to Ukraine in the form of military contracts, those get paid out, and those military companies cut a check back to their favorite politician.
