Biden sounded pretty good for about the first 20-30 minutes. but then the amphetamines started wearing off, and the word jumbling began.

but he did outline that if Putin crosses a NATO border, then its WW3, America Style.

see folks, the USA can't win a war unless its up against a near peer enemy. Korea, vietnam, afghanistan, they are all too small to actually care about, and none of those countries have oil. Ukraine, and eastern europe? oil oil oil, ole!

Imperialist Germany or Japan? Yeah thats the war we know how to fight. Its actually written into our military doctrine.

unfortunately you are probably right. Ukraine is putting up a hell of a fight, but I remember how back in Iraq it took us 3 weeks to get to Baghdad, and that was the USA vs. Iraqi army with tanks firing target rounds at us.

The russians are running old school soviety army doctrine with alot less tech than we had, up against an enemy that is well entrenched and so far well equipped.

If we can keep the munitions and support flowing, then we create a situation like the U.S. vs. the NVA. Vietnam had nothing to do with the NVA's will to fight, so much as the infinite supply chain that they had from the USSR and China.

This could be Putin's vietnam, the same way that we propped up the Taliban when the soviet's invaded afghanistan. Just continually pump Raytheon and Northrupp's hardware into the nation. Russian GDP was smaller than Texas before this started, and now its basically Zero. Russia is operating on what they have now, and cannot produce anything more, and won't be able to do so for quite a long time.

What the Russians have to fight with right now, is ALL they have to fight with, while the entire world is going to infinitely supply Ukraine, as long as there is still a Ukrainian to hold a rifle.

Don't forget that Biden is helping to fund Putin's war cuz of 'Global Warming' or something

i agreed with the first 15 min or so, then he lost me.

but uh, the biden admin isnt doing anything more than the trump admin did, obviously circumstances were different, russian oil imports over the last year were like 3% and while they have not banned the import, traders have been advised to avoid those sources by every authority, before you completely cut off one supply you have to build other sources, otherwise you'll have "NO GAS" signs at the pumps, and that can't happen this close to '22 primaries, especially not with Brandon polling at 37% its existential politics.

im dangerously close to defending democrats, don't make me do this!

"We need to secure the border and fix the immigration system," Biden said. "It’s not only the right thing to do — it’s the economically smart thing to do."
