The question is, absent direct NATO involvement in combat operations, what does anyone think we can supply that will push the Russians back? As the biggest issue is they're losing the war of attrition and running out of well-trained and capable combat soldiers.
Yes. Which is why they need ample supplies of artillery ammunition and SAM ammunition. When Ukraine has these two things, Russian advances halt and Ukrainian casualties drop.
Not exactly a huge ask, no?

What an utter scumbag Bi-dumb is.
I thought the SOTU was to update the American citizens on policy, not yell the entire time with vile and hatred towards said citizens.
Some unifier in chief.
Yet, the GOP is running the only candidate from their field who could possibly lose to "Bi-Dumb", and he's s just as old, and just as polarizing.
I'm so glad both parties have the good of the country at heart.

Europe's got to be a great place for NFL stars to vacation. Everyone is obsessed with Phutbol and nobody knows who you are. Well, except the dudes who are paid to keep track of high rollers and VIPs.

I would call those war crimes from Hamas, yes. Your “whataboutism” debate tactics annoy me. You don’t see me arguing that the Arab world should level Haifa and Tel Aviv because of the Gaza genocide.
Let’s imagine this scenario: a small group of armed killers are loose in your neighborhood. They are hiding in backyards and bushes and basements…possibly digging tunnels between properties, too. The SWAT team arrives, barricades the neighborhood perimeter, hurriedly tells everyone to leave the premises, proceeds to firebomb all the houses, and ends up killing dozens of residents in the process…including your loved ones! How would you feel?? Would you accept this outcome as the necessary cost of stopping crime? Or would you not-so-politely request that the police force consider more calculated and more precise measures and protocols?
Kay, I appreciate the fact that your posts are tweet free, reflect original thinking, and use polysyllabic words.
This subforum does not. Look forward to being trolled for not fitting into terminally online meme complexes.
Do, however, enjoy observing what a successful "fill the space with *****" influence operation looks like.

Ruthless? Did you expect them to keep expensive, aged-out vets who have never sniffed a championship because of…? This is his job. It sucks losing players you’ve become attached to but it's part of being a fan.

Beane. He's all business. I never thought he'd be this ruthless. He's also right.

Brandon Beane looks like a human, but he's actually just a calculator and a textbook on formal logic, all wrapped in a person suit.
There's not a sentimental bone in his body.

Eek! The political tribalism in this thread is truly astounding. But at least the stans for Javier Milei and the stans for Thomas Friedman are united in an acknowledgment that the American middle class is in bad shape and that resuscitating it is good for the overall economy.
The questions people should be asking themselves about the middle class:
1. What does the macroeconomic data say about the beginning of its demise in America?
2. What factors, policies, and specific legislation are believed to have contributed to its demise?
3. What factors, policies, and specific legislation can be expected to lead to its recovery?
4. What does GDP growth have to say about its health as well as the health of the other economic classes?
5. How are various inflation metrics correlated with its health and also with the health of the other economic classes?
My advice: seek out books or economics research paper reviews for answers to these questions…not social media posts or message board forums for perpetually underachieving pro football teams (<< Kay Adams cry emoji >>).
When the same six tweet-spamming posters are responsible for 95% of the threads in this subforum, then it's probably part of the outrage machine. Rather than a serious place to discuss serious things seriously.

And they’re good. What am I missing?
That they are loaded with offensive talent.
That they always start off super hot.
That they always collapse in December.
That they always limp into the playoffs and get one-and-done'd, if they make it at all.
Meaning their team is weak willed, undisciplined, and poorly coached. They are perfect when everything is going perfectly. They are terrible whenever things aren't perfect.

Fixed that for you.

I don't need to do that.
I have given up on this issue.
The country will get what it deserves.
A system is in place that makes it impossible for a competition that 70% of the American people want no part of to occur.
Does that make sense?
My interest is simply protecting my family, and I am doing that.
Fair enough.

So the Russian invasion was not an unprovoked attack? It was, it seems, a justified reaction to the CIA's direct involvement at the Russia/Ukraine border. That should make those who are cheering for this war to continue take a pause.
Nope, it was an unprovoked attack. Like Yevgeny Prighozin said.
https://theintercept.com/2023/07/01/prigozhin-truth-putin-war-ukraine/
"The Ministry of Defense is trying to deceive the public and the president and spin the story that there were insane levels of aggression from the Ukrainian side and that they were going to attack us together with the whole NATO bloc,” Prigozhin said on his Telegram channel on June 23. The truth, he said, was that “there was nothing extraordinary happening on the eve of February 24,” the day last year when Russian invaded. Ukraine was not planning any kind of attack against Russia, he added.
Russia’s invasion “was started for a completely different reason,” Prigozhin said. “What was the war for? The war was needed for Shoigu to receive a hero star. … The oligarchic clan that rules Russia needed the war,” he said. “The mentally ill scumbags decided: ‘It’s OK, we’ll throw in a few thousand more Russian men as cannon fodder. They’ll die under artillery fire, but we’ll get what we want.’”
“Shoigu killed thousands of the most combat-ready Russian soldiers in the first days of the war,” Prigozhin said, adding that the invasion began even as Zelenskyy and Ukraine were eager for peace. The Ukrainian leader “was ready for agreements. All that needed to be done was to get off Mount Olympus and negotiate with him.”
I don't see anything in their reasoning about the CIA.

Smarter. Less offensive. A better leader. Little baggage. No civil war.

Say this as often as possible until election day.

Impeachment is a partisan exercise in the modern era.
Unless your party has supermajorities in the house and senate, there is no practical point in doing it.
It will always go no where on a party line vote.
So don't bother wasting anybody's time unless you want to grandstand for clicks, views, and clout.

There better be some compelling insider knowledge of his injuries if they're letting Douglas go.
He was an All Pro down the stretch and did nothing but Make Plays until he got hurt.

Houthis expanding attempts to disrupt commerce.
The Houthis tried to ambush an El Al airliner travelling from Thailand to Israel.
The Houthis got on an enroute air traffic control VHF frequency, pretending to be ATC, and directed the El Al flight to turn in a direction that would take them into airspace where they have some capability to attack the passenger flight.
Fortunately, the El AL cockpit crew didn't trust the transmissions, and reverted to data link, (non voice) only com with ATC.
That would have been an absolute disaster with far reaching ramifications.,
Well done to whoever trained that flight crew.

As long as anyone on the left has anything good to say about her she is 100% a regime plant and should be denaturalized and deported.
De-Naturalized?
She was born in Bamberg, South Carolina.
Quick, subpoena her birth certificate!

His current strategy is working. Ukraine is at best just holding to a stalemate. They just lost a city and retreated. Hell Russia might not even want a peace agreement with how it’s going.
Right. So let's say Ukraine loses, and Russia swallows them up, but Putin dies.
What incentives are their for his successor to aside Putin's toolkit, if it turns out it works?

Nope!
