WNU Editor: For the past week the Russian Ministry of Defense has been publishing countless videos of Ukrainian armor and convoys being destroyed. We are literally seeing billions of dollars of equipment being destroyed each day, and it is happening for both sides.

Here’s a can of worms that nobody opened yet. How much will we be paying in reparations to displaced Ukrainians who sue the United States for prolonging this war longer than it needed to be? Technically even starting it In The first place really
No more foreign aid, and suspension of all federal unfunded liabilities until the national debt is $0 with a permanent debt ceiling pegged to a % of GDP. Pulling out a new credit card (raising the debt ceiling) to only pay the interest and no principle on the largest amount of debt ever amassed in world history is not acceptable under any circumstances. Should have happened 30 years ago. Now its crunch time and oh well.
From my casual observance of this war, the thing I have learned is fire and maneuver offensive actions are suicide missions in modern peer technology wars. Russia found out at the start of the war and became defensive while learning how to beat all of the opponents technology. Ukraine/NATO are learning it now.
Mathew.
Spot on. It is like a normal Joe making 50 grand a year and owing 10 million dollars. When is he ever going to be able to pay it back?
This whole economy and society is becoming super unsustainable. And not due to fairy dust like climate change or white supremacy / lack of diversity.
Ron,
Your assessment is very good.
It ma be we have hit a Civilizational/ Technological crux.... like the Russo Japanese war and 1st WW.
Where technology canceled out old tactics and methods.
That made the defence stronger than the offense.... until WW2.
12:18,
Joe Biden shields upward of 95% of his income under his S-Corp umbrella. His personal financial distribution practices from that S-Corp to shield net income (effective tax evasion) that is then "laundered" in a way to then actually re receive it, or write its use off and not pay taxes on that specific money is most notable. No one can get away with what he did for 3-5 years without a guaranteed audit. His tax records have been public for years, along with the aforementioned practices reflected year over year. Hunter selling his "art work" for millions is one of the most explicit and overt money laundering cases ive seen in about 40 years. "but who is to say that one of the 6 Chinese businessman isnt paying $250k-$4.2 million on Hunters art because they genuinely believes it to be a good investment"? The LLC umbrella, particularly the versatility of the S and C corps are a very valuable to those who file that way and have a dynamic, multi source income above about $80k a year or so, along with a variety of other cool/useful tax advantages. As someone who has always filed myself even when I was in the military and did all my own incorporation, I am well versed on this. Look at any of the Bidens public tax records for ANY YEAR AT ALL, and throw up laughing and walk away pissed when they virtue signal and larp their "tax the wealthy" crap. Money is fungible and easy to move around; especially for those people. Most democrat politicians never had a private sector job in their life.... They went straight from college to politics with a starting $45k-$127k a year govt job and are worth hundreds of millions more than their republican counterparts in the same positions and durations. Pelosi is the biggest POS out there when it comes to this, and every time she gets confronted she asserts how politicians should be allowed to "engage in the free market and stock market like anyone else". Even though she has been speaker on and off for decades and is privy to all relevant/useful insider trading info as reflected by her own personal trading practices and especially her close families individual stock buying practices. Just look at her and her family's gainly position in Pfizer and Moderna holdings starting 2019 strangely enough lol.
"We are literally seeing billions of dollars of equipment being destroyed each day, and it is happening for both sides."
Are you overstating just a little, Mr. WNU Editor? ;-)
It's truce time. For both sides.
Put it on Furher Putins bill, the guy who technically started it , and is keeping it going. You really don't understand the concept and right of a sovereign nation to defend itself from invasion
No It is clear. The russians invaded Ukraine
But you never want to say why.
Why did the US invade Grenada?
Why did the Israelis start the 6 day war?
Why did the the Sioux and Northern Cheyenne start attacking white settlers after the treaty of Ft Laramie?
Why do some nations push others to the point where they think there is no other choice but war? Because some nations are just Cretans and want war. That is the Current United States. The ukies? they are just pawns in a larger game.
The russians invaded Ukraine is not going to explain what is going on unless you are extremely stupid.
You work for the 5 eyes?
At some point any rational person says that this equipment would do a whole lot more good being operated by career NATO soldiers. If you actually believe that Russia is intending to conquer all of Eastern Europe, as is often claimed, then it's foolish to continue sending these vehicles to be used up by conscripts with maybe 3 months training.
Need some Panzer divisions in there
