Nobody is winning , and Ukraine was never going to "win" if winning was saving their country and people from utter destruction

They are now a $1,000,000,000,000 rebuild project foisted on the rest of the world

It's a shit show

We fucked up regime change in backwaters like El Salvador, Libya and Honduras; Iraq and Iran ...

But we're going to pull this off in Russia, a nuke power and it's all going to work out swimmingly ?

It's the definition of insanity
Heard a great comment from a colleague yesterday. The US could give 2 shits if the Ukraine wins. Everyone knows they are the most corrupt nation in Europe. The US is happy top see Russia deplete its weapons stores, cause we are in the same boat. Can't fight both China and Russia at the same time.

My quibble with that argument is that Russia has more Nukes and more modern nukes than the USA. And so far Russia has not used any at all.
People forget history. Russia does not quit. They are Mongol people except in far west. In WW2 they lost 25M and kept fighting. They destroyed the Elite Troops of the German army that rolled over the French and British armies like shit through a goose.
The Germans handed the Brits their asses at the start of the WW2, shoved them right into the sea. They dropped everything and ran. The French actually saved them there at Dunkirk. The French fought like dogs to keep the Germans off the Brits until they could salvage their whipped BEF over 330,000 Brits with their tails between their legs. They would have been totally finished off by Hitler except for the USA.
Russia lost 25m and kept fighting, The USA and Allies lost about 1M.
History tells us so far nobody has defeated Russia in a land war, boots on the ground.
You would have to nuke them, which means we die too.

I've been predicting a 73-74 inflation mixed with a 2008 housing meltdown - hope I'm wrong...
The combination of inflation and housing market drop is something I haven't wrapped my mind around yet. If we have significant inflation, won't the price of materials and labor go up also, thus, trying to bring the housing prices up? However, since everything else will cost more too, and the price of financing is much higher, people won't be able to afford much. So what will the result be in terms of prices?

Is this the "Big News"?
First interview of two. This guy is the one who tipped off Jim Jordan about the FBI investigating parents at the school board meetings. He also is saying the FBI has shifted from criminal investigations to intelligent gathering with open-ended cases.
This is what I have watched so far.
Whether it is big news or not it is first-hand knowledge of how the FBI operates currently.

Sure, it's a proxy war for the US as we piss away $60b making Raytheon fat and Europe $10b or whatever they've chipped in

It's awfully cavalier of us to destroy Ukraine to get to Putin while concurrently concluding that the end result will be that he shoots his wad and rolls over and goes to sleep

But what's now on the table is a ramp up, a draft in Russia , the Nuclearization of and widening of the war the engulfs Western Europe or more

For those who think that Putins going to fire all of his bullets , declare victory as he runs low on ammo and drag ass back to Moscow, ....

There a 1/1000 chance that this ends that pleasantly

Not a Babylon Bee either, which I assumed it was.
