  2. As we discussed here, the Russians have to decide between shooting their load with shock and awe versus keeping some of their powder dry for the long haul.

    So far, not lookin good. Lots of missiles and artillery shells flying around furiously, but their ability to fight a war of attrition looks shakey. As I said before "if they do a hard core shock and awe routine, the question is what are they are going to do for an encore." The ukrainians have supplies coming in. The Ruskies ability to replace ammo is not good.

    What will it look like in November when the winter is setting in hard? Not good in the trenches and Russia will have long ago spent their ammo. Think they won't still be there in November? Think again.

    Let's watch this video of the neo-Nazis white supremacists across Russia celebrating "Victory Day". Here is an example of their typical statements.

    It sure is a great thing that we're giving so many billions to the Ukraine. Its not like we can use this money elsewhere like Detroit, Baltimore or Philly (below in order). Or like the entire urban portion of California.

  5. You posted footage of some random wankers and present this anecdotal evidence to paint a picture of Russians as being a white supremacist society. FFS mate, YOU, Americans, were the ones that enslaved a lot of people that you considered for years even after the abolishment of slavery to be inferior to you white folks, did you also happen to forget the KKK? Or what about the Nazi salutes of Trump followers? ETc.............

    Here is some reading for you. Proper education is important.

    Let's take a look at the real Nazi problem -- Russia's Nazis.

    You’re not the first right winger to try to push this. Right wingers do not support urban renewal or direct investments in urban and minority areas.

    However, yes, we should be investing in urban renewal programs. Cities are the economic engines of America.

    I love that you tell me what I don't support. That's awesome!

    If you're going to write a check for billions and the choices are to give it to ANY nation other than the US, or spend it in the US, I choose the US every single day and twice on Sunday.

    That's the truth. Sorry, bro.

    If you add Lt Colonels and Colonels together (as the article seems to be doing) the count is a lot more than 40.

    More fallacy. You’re posing something that will not happen against something that is happening. It’s a classic false dilemma fallacy. Most people learn not to do this kind of stuff in college.
