Idk….. He caught himself from major screw up by later saying he opposed American taxpayer money going to pay Ukrainian pensions cause if he didn’t, it’s a nasty sound bite( oh what am I saying, it will still be a sound bite) to say he is opposed to humanitarian aid…..

Two different areas. I was focusing on flippers, not the companies artificially limiting supply to manipulate prices. It's a lot less frustrating when a OEM says, " MSRP for the car is $50K" and it isn't a price I can afford. It's incredibly frustrating when I can afford the car at $50K...

Scalpers manipulate the supply for their own benefit. PS5 scalpers? Create bots to buy up all the supply before the average joe can buy one. High demand, low supply influenced by the scalpers themselves. Same thing with cars. They take an MSRP car out of inventory reducing the supply...

You need to pay more taxes. Until then police won’t come to your house. All murderers and thieves should break in and can have at it in there. Good luck. Sorry that logical fallacy to encourage an enemy state to invade your allies is just as ludicrous as the peace at any cost even if it means...

Know this is CNN, but here is an article. https://www.cnn.com/2024/02/14/politics/house-intel-chairman-serious-national-security-threat/index.html Destabilizing as in Russia election interference in the 2024 election( off topic) or destabilizing to Russia due to the war in Ukraine( on topic)?

Going back to 2014 borders would be the bare minimum for successful peace talks. Any further concessions like Russia keeps the land they took in this invasion is a non-starter.

I don't think Carlson actually aligns with Putin. Just their interests aligns by doing this. Putin gets an US audience to spread his BS. Carlson continues on with his shtick about deep state, government is evil, what have you. Heck I doubt Carlson even believes it, but it is what makes him...

At the time, the GOP was stating in both Senate and House, no Ukraine funding without border deal. They got that. But now that a certain Presidential Candidate stated he wants to campaign on the border, Congress GOP now decides to become an extension to that campaign vs actually governing. It's...

I have always been for a two-state solution. How that would look I have no clue. Whether Hamas or the current Israeli government will accept that, I got no clue. Other Israeli governments have been for it so they need to elect those people again, but who knows about Hamas. It's horrifying...

That is totally not the same argument. Having Israel stop now will not solve the problem of Hamas launching more attacks in the future. Any peace will be temporary. Take the weak response we had after Bin Laden came to attack the twin towers the first time. Came right back to finish the job on...

Until the next time Hamas decides to launch an attack. You want a temporary peace to feel good. It's like after 9/11 saying if we pull out of Afghanistan, the violence stops, but Bin Laden is never held accountable. Or saying they will release the hostages that started the whole conflict...

Yep. A-10 is literally a flying GAU-8. It was designed around it. Remove it, you compromise the airframe. I flew a plane designed around heavier diesels retrofitted with lighter lycoming IO-360’s and it was severely compromised in range, performance, and passenger occupancy.

I am glad Russia is getting ready to give back all the land they took and leave Ukraine...... ;)

I am sure someone with a better memory than me can correct me if I am wrong, but didn't Ukraine offer to not join NATO days leading up to the invasion? Well how did that work?

And don't get me wrong, I wasn't directing it to you, but just at the conspiracy theory itself. It's just funny what seems to gain traction on X/Twitter, tiktok, etc. These people post a lot of skepticism towards the MSM, etc as just being "puppets", but don't put any thought into some random...
