How come "western allies" always means 95% of troops and equipment and money come from the USA?? My thought is, Putin, you absorb the Ukrain...you will still have a border to the west that leaves you bordering NATO.
Which equates to posturing to invade more countries, regardless if they are NATO. Sounds far fetched?
Now you'd think that snagging the Ukrain would be for another reason, oil or wheat, but what's he got to worry about big bad NATO for?
Recent polls say many Americans are unhappy with Biden's getting control of Covid so we can get "back to normal." Now here's a few interesting thoughts ....... Millions of Americans have refused to follow the advice of REAL infectious disease doctors and get vaccinated. Some idiots claim it's "experimental" and unproven. So we have those morons to deal with. Federal & state courts have BLOCKED mandates to have military, government employees, and employees of large companies get vaccinated. More unvaccinated spreaders of Covid. REPUBLICAN GOVERNORS in various states have issued executive orders to make it illegal for school districts to mandate masks in school classrooms. (For decades, schools have been called "germ factories" for good reason ........ with common everyday diseases. Covid is a NEW virus with follow-up mutations. Aren't masks a prudent step to keep kids healthy in school & protect teachers????) People INSIST on going to large events, indoor restaurants, etc. - even for a few short weeks to stop the spread. So ....... how is this Biden's fault??? THE REPUBLICAN PARTY and millions of its dolt followers refuse to follow REAL MEDICAL ADVICE ......... and then they blame Biden for lack of containing Covid !!!!!!!!! Do we blame a president or governor for drug addicts' problems??? Whose fault is it if a person bakes in the sun without sun-block lotion, and then complains of a painful sunburn??? If someone's liver is rotting because they drink heavily, is it the fault of the doctor who warned them to quit drinking????? Do we blame society, government officials, or parents when a drunk gets behind the wheel and kills someone??? In the same way ....... is it Fauci, Biden, Osterholme, Gottlieb, Jha, or any other doctor or government official's fault if people ignore the advice of infectious disease experts - and Covid continues to run wild?????? Or is it rather the fault of the idiots, morons, and dolts themselves????? They probably don't know enough to come in out of the rain - but complain they got wet. HOLY S-H-I-T ............. when does this epidemic of American STUPIDITY stop?? !!!!!!!!!!!!!
How about "Lower your obscene tax free profits, not lower your benefit free wages" ?? Look at the money large corporations are making today...by gouging us. QUOTE="hotwater, post: 9259043, member: 8108"][/QUOTE]
The ONLY reason for our current inflation is the corporations are price gouging everything... and getting away with it. and half the population is blaming Biden for that. AND... If Biden were to do something, those same people will cry about how unfair it is to attack those poor corporations.
Just think, in another ten years, Intel would build a new semiconductor fab in East-By-God Zero Tech Sector Ohio. Know how many humans actually work inside a fab? Like hardly any. They STILL have no chip packaging fabs in the US - so big whoop - we're still on the hook for Asia for all of that.
