It does seem like a bargain. Like when the guy in the over coat under the street lights tries to sell you a ROLEX for $200. Wars never go as easy as we are led to believe. These saving the world for democracy expeditions have not gone well for us. We could help S Viet Nam if we just sent in some advisors. Iraq would be cheap and easy. We would be greeted as liberators. They would pay us back with oil money. Afganistan, our longest war. And what makes you so sure China will just sit around and think? Them and Russia have been pretty chummy lately and have a common enemy in us. What if they start supplying Russia? Maybe even send over 100,000 troops. Hopefully it doesn't come to that but to beat Russia as President Zelensky described in front of Congress will not be cheap or easy.

Maybe not supporting Ukraine or at least not to the level we are? With all the winning I keep hearing about and Russia imploding, why do they need our help so much? And they're gonna need more more more according to President Zelensky I agree more with President Obama. We can't be the world's police person. Especially when we can't even fix our own country. They aren't part of NATO and correct me if I'm wrong we have no treaty with them to help if they get in a war. As to the bolded, the domino theory all over again. Didn't happen when the commies won Viet Nam or Korea although the government and Military Industrial Complex told us it would. Democrats today sound like Republicans in 1967.

True, but the allies didn't win the war on V-E Day, it was the nukes that ended it. I don't think the solution you propose and congress and President Biden are pursuing will work. It will only prolong the agony and make the Military Industry Complex richer AGAIN. I am very skeptical about reports of all this winning by Ukraine going on anyway. The first casualty of war is the truth. The Ghost of Kyiv comes to mind. What makes you think you're hearing the truth now? I also am not really buying this whole "no boots on the ground" nonsense. This is what presidents do in the 21st century. Sending in actual troops would be unpopular politically so they send in "contractors" from Black Water and such groups. They don't count. I'm suspect there are contractor advisors over there right now. Don't be so sure this won't escalate into us sending troops and airplanes in there. We are playing with fire. Democrats today sound like Republicans in 1967.

Your own article lays out the real reason for US involvement. The Military Industrial Complex is gonna make out like a bandit. Again. And very rarely does one side "win" a war. WWII the allies won cuz we had nukes and no one else did. It was an anomaly. Usually a war ends when someone says enough is enough and both sides agree like WW I. Or one side says bag it and evacuated the last people with a helicopter off the top of a building like Viet Nam, Korea, and Afganistan. or like the Russians in Afganistan. And that's after decades of bloody fighting. But the Military Industrial Complex ALWAYS wins. What's good for GM is good for America.

Diggs throwing his helmet and asking for the ball more
reddogblitz replied to Einstein's topic in The Stadium Wall
Diggs is right. Get him the ball more. That's what we're paying him for. -
Good call. They are also both chokers.

She got elected so its all good.

Any idea on how he's going to enforce this? Does it apply to his own (Navy) ships? Those big ass ships they drive could kill a lot of whales. Does this mean I'll kill a whale at 10 knots if I hit it in my 35 foot boat but not with my 34 footer?

BINGO Bottom line, the McDermott era Bills win a vast majority of their game no matter what suits they wear.

All of the playoff wins during the McDermott era are when we wore blue over white.

DeSantis For President in 2024?
reddogblitz replied to Trump_is_Mentally_fit's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
Well good for you. The lefty I live with tells me everything bad in politics in America started with President Reagan. -

reddogblitz replied to Trump_is_Mentally_fit's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
Now you're quoting President Reagan? -
I would agree that's why we lost. But I don't think that was part of the initial plan going in.

We were 30-13 in non solid suits. Essentially the same win %. .736 for solid suits vs .697 in non solid suits. And that doesn't take into account opponents. Earlier up thread I saw that with the ketchup bottle suits we beat 4 or 5 dog meat teams and lost to Baltimore. This doesn't seem statistically significant to me.

Ketchup bottle suits. Gross.

How so?

Evidently you have never worked in sales.
