That number seems inflated. Or maybe a better assessment would be, if true, why are they continuing this insanity.

Sooner or later, they will they decided as we did in Vietnam, or the way the old Soviets did in Afghanistan. Just pack it all up and leave?

In the mean time, how many more will die?

Putin may take our illegal aliens. Get alligator alcatraz full and ship them all to Moscow. 3000 at a pop.

Russia has been two weeks away from collapse now for over three and a half years now...

but any day now......

So tell us... What is Putin thinking?

Sadly for you, that makes you pretty unlucky. I haven't seen anything on here that makes me believe anyone (particularly the righties) want to learn anything. Plus, I don't have any interest in educating you. I'm just pointing out where some of you just toss silly thoughts out there that have no basis in facts.

If we stop holding up weapons and playing politics with aiding Ukraine’s defense Russia may find themselves incapable of managing its war effort. Sadly the MAGAs were sold on Putin being a fair minded nonaggresor. And what’s the other silliness pushed by MAGA - oh yeah -Ukraine are Nazis. And what was the dumbest MAGA claim - - something to the effect of - Putin respects Trump and will cut a deal to end the war. The level of stupid in MAGA is astounding and is only exceeded by their gullibility.

Fully arming Ukraine is the only real solution. Allow them to start pushing Russians back to their border and peace might actually occur.

Run out of people he can toss a uniform on? No
