Hey libs, make sure to do the reading before you start arguing with communists 😉

You know your enemy is losing when he occupies a third of your territory and most of your productive capacity. Ukraine will be de-nazified and de-militarized when all the Nazis there have committed suicide by charging Russian artillery in open fields. And no, not every Ukrainian is a Nazi, but the government is certainly run by Nazis.

Cluster Munitions manufacturing is winning. As are small arms suppliers.

The western governments have dropped billions on buying weapons.

The goal is now to have a simmering forever war, as it’s good for the economy.

We had that in Iraq and Afghanistan and it just burned through our military labor force. Ukraine won't last longer than the US did oversees. And the surrounding states aren't exactly overflowing with pro-American sentiment, the longer this shit drags on, either.

Private military contractors benefited greatly during Iraq and Afghanistan, though.

It's good for allocating money from the workers to raytheon shareholders.

It still makes America poorer overall. For what we spent blowing up Ukraine, we could have 16,000 miles of high speed rail.

That's what he said, good for the economy.
