Oil, food and territory. Ukraine has 15% of the worlds corn and 10% of the worlds wheat also. They feel like Ukraine was part of Russia. The NATO deal was enough all by itself to.. Russia is an artillery based military. Shelling cities from a distance is how they are set up to fight.

Russia has doctrine or agreements going back to the end of the Cold War (iirc) that revolves around NATO and what Russia would do if NATO tried to put itself on Russia’s doorstep. Both Ukraine and Russia are heavily corrupted nations or gov-states. I think Russia somewhat fell for a NATO trap by going in, but Russia maybe felt they didn’t have a choice as NATO is basically trying to surround the western border of Russia. NATO and the US were heavily arming Ukraine before the invasion, seemingly as if the US 100% wanted this war to happen.

Hey, at least the military industrial complex is making bank by turning our tax dollars into war weapons for a country we have no actual alliance with. How does this war benefit the people of the US? The US war machine is making serious bank selling all these weapons to Ukraine. Why do we really want a war Russia? What does the US have to do with Ukraine, at all, besides corrupt business dealings?

Who knows? But Soviet doctrine is to shell the shyt out of population centers. Look at Syria. You can't apply logic to the question because the invasion wasn't logical in first place.

Their doctrine also allows them to use nuclear weapons pretty quickly too, which is terrifying. NATO knows this.

Isn't it just wonderful how all these Democrats are "tired of the Democratic party" and are flipping sides.

Probably the same # or more have bailed from the Republican side and gone Democrat.

Did Tulsi join the republican party, or just leave the Democrat party? If she joins Republicans, irs about dollars and votes. Same reason Manchin would join Republicans if the numbers were there. Both parties are a train wreck anyway. It's just jumping from the frying pan into the fire.

'This underscores ever-growing interest within the U.S. military, as well as among foreign forces, in integrating ******* drones, some types of which are capable of operating as part of larger networked swarms, onto various crewed and uncrewed vehicles. These drones can offer surveillance and reconnaissance capabilities, as well as the ability to carry out precision strikes, to even the smallest of units.'

It's all part of the depopulation plan. The vax turned out to be horribly ineffective biological weapon, so Biden and company hope to trigger a nuclear war. That's too bad, because an effective vax bioweapon would have been a lot less messy than nukes.

Would be nice if they just fought wars without soldiers. Drone against drone.
But then watch unemployment skyrocket....

All things should be decided by either rock, paper, scissors or with massively fraudulent elections.

It's funny how some Republican politicians say that the Hispanics are now backing them yet they also want to prevent them from voting. I guess that makes sense to Republicans.

Kind of like Mexicans feel like some of the United States used to be part of Mexico. They feel like they are migrating not immigrating.

Ahhh, El Crapo has returned with more inane memes.
Not a thought in his head, as usual.

Like I have said before. You are just a source of entertainment for me....and a very poor one at that. I have been trilled by 10 year olds that are light years ahead of you. Step up your game. Maybe a trip out of your mom's basement once and a while would help.....I am sure she would be happy to get rid of you for at least a few hours.....we sure would be.
