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.

I did a research paper this summer on this subreddit and there was a published study that found that 74% of autists on Reddit came from 1% of source subreddits. I assume that subs like /r/DeuxRAMA are the 1%.

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.

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).

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.

Their GDP in 2020 was 150B USD. Their military budget was 6B.
So they're getting nearly one third of their GDP and 6.5 times their annual budget's worth of weapons in a month. As a fun fact: Russia's last year military budget was around 60B.
