Rinos like him and Graham seem to be bought and paid for. They all have bought into this idiotic idea that somehow going to war with the Russians using Ukrainian men is in our national interest. Nothing could be further from the truth. Meanwhile, why they are focused on that idiocy a foreign army of military aged men are invading across the southern border and the government has no clue who many of them are.
Supposedly we have the most powerful standing army on earth, 800 plus billion a year worth. So why do we have to activate 3000 reservists? I'll tell you why, we don't have the world's biggest army, our navy is struggling, recruitment is way down across the board, and nobody knows where a big portion of that 800 plus billion goes. Then we have Joe Biden being directed by his owners, whoever they are, to squander what is left of our war stocks in Ukraine. The bottom line is out of an alleged army of 1.1 million we'd be hard-pressed to move 80 to 100,000 actual combat troops anywhere. The days when we could move 500,000 troops and their equipment like we did in Desert Storm are long gone.
That's why you have reservists; to call up when you need some reserves. Ammunition has a 'use-by' date, we don't keep massive stocks of 1960 tanks or shells because we're not Russia.
In the 70s we had corps-sized elements already in Europe with all of their equipment, stores, ammunition, properly maintained tanks and armored vehicles all ready to go. We have nothing like that in place today. We send a heavy brigade over there once or twice a year for training they have 87 Abrams, 152 Bradley IFVs, 18 M109s and 45 armed M113 vehicles and about 4700 soldiers. In a real war situation with the Russians that is a pittance compared to what the Russians have mobilized to date (an army of about 750,000) and they are already in the field. We'd still have to get there and I have no doubt they would interdict anything we tried to fly in or ship in. The whole idea of a ground war with the Russians in Europe is ridiculous in this day and age. Any enemy trying to move an army into the United States would meet the same fate. Russia is a continental power in Europe, in today's world, we are a continental power only in the western hemisphere.
Just fyi, Ukraine is in Europe.
So instead of acknowledging that Ukraine is in Europe currently, you double down.
Good. Damned good. Our Founding Fathers ,when they warned us not to get entangled in Europe's endless squabbling, knew exactly what they were talking about. We've gotten so much dumber since then.
You also liked the part where the founders had slaves too I bet.
George made sure to send his slaves back to Virginia routinely so as not to lose them while he was serving as President in New York.Oh do fuck off. There was a tremendous debate about that and a compromise was made to form a union.
You are some kind of vapid self-proclaimed intellectual.
One has nothing to do with the other.
I can't believe you even posted that.
Most, if not all, of what you post from not so bright Bart and PJs is total deflection and distraction… and yet…
You attempt to connect all sorts of things in your posts— usually that have no connection.
Nope, not angry at all. And they are all good days- with the exception of what small minds will believe because they see it PJs or not-bright bart.
Ohhh, so throwing Martha under the bus. She was the mastermind eh?
Just sitting here LOL’n.
Oh man!
