Which country? What happened when they tried?
Typo there: you said “slaves” I think you meant slavers.
You have a very good point.
In that case instead of NATO, then maybe the world builds some sort of coalition to take care of the problem. Those countries that want to put an end to this war can. But at the end of the day, it’s up to the Ukraine to allow to happen, but we need to start looking at what exactly it is costing each year and ask if it’s sustainable
I agree with everything that you said except taxing unrealized gains. That is dumb as hell.
I’m basically broke. But I have a few stocks that I own. If they go up , I should pay taxes even if they then go down? Which makes it even harder to get ahead. Exactly how is this a good idea?
Are we going to magically set the dollar amount to only include the ultra wealthy even though we all know they won’t pay anyway because they’ll make it appear on paper they didn’t make that much and only the middle class and poor people will pay? (Holy shit was that a run on sentence. Meh I’ll leave it).
But anyway yeah I’ll agree with the rest of it
Yeah. Sadly i agree. It’s on top of. 35.3 trillion at this point in debt. We can’t keep going like this. It’s why I say I’m less concerned but not going to say I’m not concerned. It’s also why I say if we are going to keep spending then maybe we need to figure out if there is a way to end this thing faster. At some point the well of cash runs dry. What happens when we can’t spend more and Ukraine is sitting without weapons?
Yes the old weapons are going to Ukraine and we get new stuff, but as your numbers show it’s still spending more money at the end of the day.
It just comes down to how much of an increase and where that break even point is.
If your numbers are accurate, and it is just an increase in us defense spending at the end of the day, then I’m less concerned about it

Some of it,such as the f-22, the US can’t legally sell or give to them by law. It’s literally against the law.
Also there is the cost of the rest of it. If the Ukraine government is paying for it then yes sell it, but some of it is not being paid for. Some of it is being GIVEN. That costs money from the US tax players. At some point that well runs dry. You can’t just keep giving and giving. It doesn’t work. So since this has gone on long enough maybe it’s time to end it.
As for Ukraine saying no troops. Let’s recap. If the Ukraine was paying for ALL of it then I’d say just keep selling equipment to them. Sooner or later one side or the other breaks. But some of it is not being paid for. The dollar amount is getting large of what congress has authorized so far. How long before our budget says wtf?! Sooner or later either we stop giving to save our economy or we send troops before we get to that point to end it faster.
Yes I know Ukraine is saying no troops but there is the other half that equation. Ukraine is going to have to make a tough call at some point, unless they figure out how to beat Russia before that point.
Money is a finite item, it is not infinite
You are missing a step. Right now we are sending them equipment, and they are barely holding their own. If NATO goes in, then it’s a TON more equipment, plus a TON more troops. If Russia is barely holding their own against Ukraine, do you think they can hold back all of NATO?
That war would be over a lot quicker
Also, there is equipment that can’t be sent Ukraine, for example of the United States F 22, we literally can’t give that to the Ukraine. The law prevents it. But if NATO went in, that means the US would go in and the US could fly the F-22 into combat there.
Here’s an honest question : are they buying all the weapons and ammo? If so then the suppliers need to ramp up production. It’s money in their pickets.
If they aren’t buying all weapons and ammo, and some is being given to the Ukraine . Then maybe we need to change what is happening. No one can continue forever giving money to another person /entity. Sooner or later the money runs out.
The real question is, if it’s becoming a financially strain then maybe it’s time we change tactics and end this thing faster. Maybe it’s time to send NATO in. Yes I know Ukraine doesn’t want foreign militaries in there but if they haven’t won by now maybe a hard choice has to be made.
He listed just a few more things then that
You missed item number three
They must turn over their passport
This works too
Life goal :
Get job working trump rally running audio. Change his entry song to American Idiot. Password protect the computer so no one can stop the song short of unplugging it. No more music for rest of rally.
Maybe I’ll missing something obvious, but the three girls that were hurt in a knife attack, were they immigrants or local girls?
I misread that at first and thought you said “cutting peasants”.
Good point
Lol I can hear him saying that.
Also for good measure
“for dessert I’d like, a banana freshly peeled with a small glass of grocery store orange juice.”
Good explanation. Still having a hard time on seeing that much, but good explanation
It’s goes back to who is the leader of Cuba and what sort of government they have. The leader is basically a dictator. If leader would resign then things would change. Do I agree with how it’s being handled? No. But it is the reason.
Cuba is backed by Russia and Cuba is on the door step of the US. The Cuban missile crises created a major problem. End of that, Russia agreed not to put missile there and the US agreed not to go into Cuba. And Cuba sits in the middle dying. Yes I worded that poorly but you get the idea.
Russia would love to expand their presence there. Honestly I’m not sure what a realistic answer is, but if there were actual fair elections there things would change. But they are too close to the border to allow Russia in there.
