But arming ukrainians and sending them to die weakens Russia, so the US likes that.

Right there. You said it right there And you're changing the subject. Russian victory was never a forgone conclusion. History has shown us that.

He should put it back on. He keeps taking it off so he never gets used to it. Like I said. Three weeks of hell. Keep that sucker on.

Murdered by Russian. So tell me, in this peace of yours, who gets what and why?

Russia has a long and proud history of losing to "smaller, weaker " countries. Russo Japanese war, WW1, Polish Soviet war of 1919, the winter war, Afghanistan, Chechen war until they paid homage to the Kadyrovs. there's no reason to think there was never a chance at Ukrainian victory. Russia fumbles the bag plenty. But I get it. America bad so Russia stonk and good.

Three weeks of agony. Totally worth it. I have a deviated septum so I can't do a nose pillow, but there's really low impact options if you're able.

I thought the point was solving traffic. Not making money. Even the headline contradicts itself.

No, it's because "America bad". There's a lot of reasons to hate America, and the drip feeding of munitions to Ukraine is one of them. I think we should have been sending everything from the start with the only restriction being no hitting civilian targets. A million 155 shells a week. Tomahawks. Predator drones. Hell, even F-15s. I agree, end the war, but end it in a Ukrainian victory with their borders restored.

I tried to explain to a luddite like 10 years ago that their healthcare costs would go down. He said he doesn't care, he doesn't want to pay for someone else's healthcare. He had insurance through work. I tried explaining to him that THAT'S the whole point of insurance, you pay for other people's healthcare, you're not just paying into an account that you then draw from. Your premium goes to someone else's cancer treatment. He said I didn't understand insurance. Dude had 3 kids too. So his healthcare costs proportionally to mine would have been waaayyy lower.

Like, it's a no brainer.

Chipotle isn't necessary to survive. I get that it's a joke but it's not the same
