Putin 'is hell-bent on subjugating all of Eastern Europe behind a new Iron Curtain - including Poland and East Germany'
  • Professor Grigory Yudin says Putin's ambitions go beyond a new Soviet Union
  • He also wants a new Iron Curtain with multiple free countries - including states in NATO and the EU - brought back under Moscow's hegemony, Yudin says

Guy on Bloomberg just now, some "expert", was saying what I what I have been saying all along. Putin doesn't care about the body count. He can and will fight this war into perpetuity. Wave after wave of young men into a meat grinder. Like WW1. Loss rate is 5:1. He's playing the long game on the assumption the West will grow weary of throwing money into a war with no end. China continues to buy his oil and gas, along with other nations, so while he might not be rolling in cash, he can certainly keep it going.

I don't know what the answer is. We could do a strike out of the blue and probably take out all of his missile silo's in a matter of hours, but like I have said, it's the subs that matter, even with the best ASW, they're tough to pinpoint at any given time. One nuke on DC or NYC is too great of a cost to risk.

We could probably take Putin out personally, with a quick strike, but again, I would almost bet his military commanders are under orders to let the nukes fly if it were to happen. And he may have told us that in regards to arming Ukraine with fighter jets and attack bombers. Not sure about that one though.

And as an aside, Biden's proposed taxes on capital gains to 39% and folks making over $400K, you can bet the "wtf are we doing in Ukraine" rhetoric is gonna ramp up. Over time at least. I mean will Ukraine funding basically turn into something like Social Security or Medicare(?), ie its just part of the budget that can't go away.

I dunno. I don't see a solution.
What are you guys thinking?

how would Ronald Reagan handle this?

Democracy is the new Jesus, but underneath it all is nothing more than the desire to have more control, more power, more wealth. The power hungry wankers are leading humanity into the abyss. I see right through their sweet fairytales.

because many reps and their voters of today still see him as one of the best presidents ever.

people who liked Reagan and criticize what Biden does today - what do they think about how Reagan would've acted?

Yeah I figured that's where you were going with that.
I have no idea. I didn't pay attention to these type of things back then.
Maybe he'd have Nancy call her psychic advisor and go from there.
One thing however.. Reagan didn't go senile till his second term.
Joe's got him beat in that dept.
