We’re not “wasting” any money. It’s doing exactly what it’s intended to do. When you read that we’ve sent Ukraine hundreds of billions of dollars what that actually means is we’ve bought weapons and equipment and sent it over there. Who actually gets that money? Raytheon, Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman… in other words we take taxpayer dollars and give it to US military contractors, which is ALWAYS the point - taking public money and putting it in private hands.
There might be some geopolitical positioning going on in the decision-making process, like we’re indirectly draining Russia’s military resources or whatever. But make no mistake that’s just a side effect not the goal.

Ukraine’s counteroffensive is succeeding. Slowly but surely, the Ukrainian armed forces are breaking through the Russian lines. Sometimes yard by yard, sometimes village by village, Ukraine has the momentum and is pressing forward.
…
We have a chance to help finish this. The Russian army is cracking. Ukraine has learnt new tactics to overcome horrendous minefields, and the Storm Shadow strikes are devastating Russian HQs. We are witnessing the beginnings of the battle for Crimea.
…
This war can be won. Vladimir Putin is failing. Just as the human emotion drives Ukraine to success, it is also the inescapable flaw in Putin and his criminal regime. Romance, ego and revenge drove Putin to cross into Ukraine and it will be his undoing. His army has lost more than 2,500 tanks, 6,500 armoured vehicles and nearly 300,000 dead or injured. Not a single commander who led the major Russian units into Ukraine is still in place.

Ukraine can also play its part. The average age of the soldiers at the front is over 40. I understand President Zelensky’s desire to preserve the young for the future, but the fact is that Russia is mobilising the whole country by stealth. Putin knows a pause will hand him time to build a new army. So just as Britain did in 1939 and 1941, perhaps it is time to reassess the scale of Ukraine’s mobilisation.
they're already mobilising everyone from 16-60 (and skewing to 40+ implies extreme losses in the combat units which typically take on younger men) and have even banned women with any kind of medical training from leaving the country, but the machine needs even younger kids to keep crawling along.

I once commented on GG's hair and said "your hair is so much better now than when I met you". She had complained a bunch of times about her thinning hair and it was noticeable, although I didn't care.
She said "that's cos I can afford to eat so much better thanks to you".
Ukraine is the sort of place where people go without food due to lack of money.

My experience with Ukraine is almost all the capital city, Kiev. There there are very wealthy people who you'd never realise are so rich apart from the fancy cars they drive. Most people are pretty poor, meaning $10k or so income. Apparently a huge amount of income in Ukraine is unofficial, so if you go to the hospital (I never had to) you pay the Doctors extra in cash, etc.
I dunno, I've never paid anyone under the table in Ukraine, besides hookers. But one of those hookers (she was an engineer and failed clothes shop owner with debt) did tell me to never believe that people in Kiev are as poor as they claim.
But outside of Kiev, in the villages in the middle of nowhere, it's pretty obvious people are living from their gardens, drawing water from the well (no piped water), and heating their houses with wood. Pensions are like €70 a month. Not a lot of money to live on. You need to change how you live when you have so little money.

There are 7 nations there homo is the death penalty. There are 9 nations where stoning to death is legal punishment. There are 14 nations that permit sex with minors under 13 with another 37 under the age of 14 and the dumb pollack pedo OP wants to call out the US over a fellow pedo.

This ⬆️ & https://niggasin.space/thread/83954 kinda helps sum up why Sophie has gone to such great lengths to appear deceased …… talk about avoiding a seriously deranged stage five clinger. 😮 ** EDT** there’s tons more but these suffice as suffocation

Why would one hate Lanny? not sure anyone except Kafka has a problem with Lanny, but she’s got a problem with everyone here except Wariat so that speaks volumes
What has been censored or worth censoring? Sophie’s PM’s apparently- no one, including Lanny is willing to post them 😆
I’d say there are probably less than 8 regular posters, others drop in from time to time, the rest ….well that’s addressed above.

I didn’t read what the argument with t2k1 was about it’s probably some dumb bullshit lol. But I just hate when people say in an argument “no you have to prove ME wrong”. Like one of you has to prove something otherwise it’s just 2 people jerking each other off back and forth, but without the payoff
