    It is so fucking weird watching Biden keep trying to start WWIII with anyone who will take him up on it while the wunderplanes can’t fly, they don’t have the capacity to build the wunderboats, the wundermissiles don’t hit anything, and the wundertanks are getting washed in Ukraine by hardware store drones. While they can’t even produce enough shells to keep up a semblance of a fight in a one-front proxy war and they can’t even bully the poorest country in the Middle East.

      Liberals are dreamers who believe in the power of positive thinking. They live in a fantasy land where they can wish for things to happen without any regard for practicality or reality. Their idealist views lead them to ignore pesky details such as production capabilities and supply chains.

        That definitely wasn’t the original plan for Ukraine. The backfiring of Russian sanctions have made de-dollarization more plausible than ever, and NATO believed their fighting doctrines were going to work.

        I agree that the US is a rentier empire but I’m not sure they quite know that yet.

      wundermissiles don’t hit anything

      Do you mean javelins? Because himars have been quite effective at striking civilains in Donetsk
