Im not ripping in Rick or Cargo but the rest of the “know it alls” need to remember that they are cow towing to 1980’s graduates. If you’re truly progressive, which I doubt you are, even though you played soccer, you should probably come up with a more modern approach to what’s going on in this world. Remember, flying your plane and making good money is only contributing to the real global warming threat.

One also wonders how much of this is being financed by the $6 billion recently released to Iran in exchange for five hostages - and if that has motivated Hamas and Hezbollah to capture the reported 150 hostages they have taken.



And how much will any military support provided to Israel detract from the military support we are providing in Ukraine, Bosnia, Syria, and a half dozen other third world $hitholes? And with declining numbers of our own military volunteers is some political party going to now push to replace the AVF with a draft? Because the alternative would seem to be we’ll have to give up this world’s policeman stuff.

In my opinion. You are entitled to your own, but they are questions that are worth thinking about.

Default Sanctions have never been as effective..

…as the State Department likes to pretend they are (We’ve had them on Cuba since the 1950s) but when you have the two most populous countries on Earth actively flouting them, it’s really hard for them to get traction. And right now India and China are buying Russian oil like crazy.

And the implications on Russia’s ability to sustain the war against Ukraine are very real.

$$$ Biden Bucks and old equipment to Ukraine.

Cutting edge USN carrier battle groups to the Med for Israel.

I think the Ukraine has officially become "back burner".

"So long, mom, I'm off to drop the bomb, so don't wait up for me. . . .

I'll look for you, when the war is over...an hour and a half from now."

We will all go together when we go!
