I kinda feel like I need to have half of my brain removed so I could understand this rambling nonsensical word salad.
 
US Expansionist Goal To 'Weaken Russia' Mirrors Dangerous Tactics In Afghanistan: Dr. Trita Parsi

US Secretary of Defense Admits the Real Strategic Goal in Ukraine: Quagmire for Russia

The strategic goal of "weakening Russia" is playing with fire—even nuclear fire—and to allow the war to go on indefinitely, or to escalate, at the expense of the Ukrainian people is cruel, dangerous, and unacceptable.



The Sec. of Defense Just Admitted It!

Supporting Ukraine via hardware and finances is far less of a danger (nuclear, or otherwise) than any other option. The only other option would be forcing Ukraine to give in to Russia and hoping they stop. Which they will not.

The US is doing the right thing here, as long as Ukraine is willing to fight. This is the least risky action for the near term as well as the long term. This will cost Russian leadership the most support as well.

Given our nation’s history, I wouldn’t be surprised if we’re fighting Ukraine in ten or so years. Isn’t that America’s playbook? We get into conflicts with whoever we were funding 10 years prior so their insurgents can use our own weapons against us? If someone was into perpetual warfare with enriching military contractors as the outcome, this play would work nicely…
 
This is much more important right now than Roe vs Wade IMO.

Hoping we don’t just move on to the next story.
 
Russia has transitioned to just demolishing the whole country. They aren't going to try and hold anything. They are going to carpet bomb every city until nobody wants to live there anymore.

This is going to be tough... Russia is very good at this tactic...

Wouldn't be surprised if Putin gets to his last nerve and starts dropping nukes on Ukraine. He would rather no one have it, if he can't.
 
I guess the Pope chimed in commenting that NATO barking at Russia's door, instigated Russia invading Ukraine.
WTF

You have to apply to gain NATO membership... If Russia doesn't want it's neighbors to apply to be a part of a defensive alliance Russia might want to think twice before the whole Georgia thing... and then there's the whole Crimea thing...

I know the Pope is trying to help calm things down, but I'm just throwing that out there as something to think about...

They need Ukrainian farm land and they need to be able to use the rivers and ports.

If he starts lobbing Nukes he has signed Russia's death warrant. They are already going to die, but that would finalize things.
 
Seriously this is what I'm seeing.
Russia invades Ukraine.
Ukraine doesn't roll over and makes it a real problem.
Oil prices soar and gas prices follow suit.
The American people start to buckle down and support Ukraine for a while and even make it through a "Slap"
Russia continues to fail and decides to just start killing randomly.
The US continues to support Ukraine but is afraid to get too involved for fears of Nuclear holocaust.
Energy companies begin making huge amounts of MONEY but the US continues to buy gas.
Energy companies keep the prices high even though there is no shortage of oil and measures have been taken to keep gas flowing.
Someone leaks a report about the Supreme court decision on Roe vs Wade.
Energy companies are ecstatic that they no longer are on the front page with gas prices and the War trudges on continuing to give them reasons to make astronomical profits.

There is more- All of this is costing thousands of lives in Ukraine but we keep filling our tanks with gas.

Well, we aren't buying the gas from anybody. We're using our own. But I get your point.

At a certain point we will need to ban exports of oil. Maybe another month or two... That will hold our prices down.

Do you think they will drop 35% like they went up?
