But this time, finally, emancipation & lasting peace is nearly in reach. Just going to need 2-3 trillion more.

Great points! I’d also add the question, “what has America done?”. In my opinion the “wolf of Wall Street” secret money deals needs to end.

Also I’m all about strength through diplomacy, but you really can’t help anyone until your own house in order.

Wouldn’t it be nice if the United States was the manufacturing capital of the world! The biggest super market and thrift store!

good questions. At face value right now it looks like it was hit by a missile. If so, I imagine it’s the RU as the UA would have shown that hand earlier with the backfires imo. Ironically, I think you mentioned that Putin would get him sooner or later, and I kind of disagreed with you then.

another point, that would dissuade it from being a UA attack, is maybe a live prigozihn is more disruptive than a dead one

*Shot down* 100 nm NNW of Moscow at FL280 enroute to St. Petersburg. Ukraine doesn't have that capability.
