    LMFAO - Casey are you proposing to sell surplus Bradley IFVs to pay down "credit card debt" or, I guess, high interest auto loans?

    I'm embarrassed for you that you posted this and I don't even like you like that man.

    OR

    Selling Bradley IFVs at steep discounts to reduce the power and impact of the auto loan industry.

    If the national debt worries you, then why do you vote Republican?

    Are you suggesting liberals don't have spending problems?

    I'm saying when you compare Dems to Reps - the record is clear - Reps blow up the national debt. Even Trump said that.

    wow this has really changed my worldview. Now that Ukraine is losing/stalemated/winning the war with Russia it is more important then ever to send them billions in cash.

    Not trying to change your worldview - I don't think that highly of my own ability there.

    I am just generally laughing/marveling at the type of ignoramus who would post that "credit card debt and automotive repossessions" are rationally or logically related to US/NATO military assistance in Ukraine.

    i mean, lol sure, I guess, they're both things that have to do with money, that's for sure. Also planet earth, so there's a thread. Cars? They have cars in Ukraine. Another thing. OK, good talk. :D

    You want to redirect Ukraine spending to bail out people with credit card debt? That sounds like a commie idea to me.

    It is very Communist!

    In fact, according to my sources - the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Greater Muscovy Soviet has passed a resolution strongly approving of this idea to support the um, class struggle against the captialists!

    "A Bradley for THEE = no Obama phone for ME" - all the rappers these days are saying this including Drake Kendrick and lil Baby Lamar

    https://tvpworld.com/79939063/germany-to-limit-military-aid-to-ukraine-due-to-budget-cuts

    Re Germany:

    The report further says that the planned military aid for Ukraine is likely to decrease significantly in the coming years, with a projected drop to less than a tenth of the current amount by 2027.

    This is going to be a problem. European countries with expansive welfare states [already under financial strain] are going to face increasing pressure with aging populations, entitlements that need to be funded, costs associated with migrants and increased military spending.

    Russia is facing the same demographic challenges, and Russia is too working against the clock because they’re coasting off of the Soviet trained engineers who should be retiring. The world will look quite different by 2050.

    Russia has all types of problems, demographic included but they have "benefit" of no substantial internal political pressures/consideratiions.

    Whatever little benefits the Russia Federation currently provides its citizens, Putin would just slash sh** and the people would put up with it. The Russians are use to suffering/austerity/hardship.

    The Russians are as hardy as they come.

    Russia is not just Russians. There are peoples who’ve lived under the Russian yoke for centuries now, but never assimilated.

    The far right is upset that Mother Russia is suffering.

    Odd that American officials can’t be trusted.

    I saw this very image in a restaurant recently and was like I get pro-Ukrainian propaganda but this is egregious.

    But then I realized they just ****ing used a piece of the board as a decoration.
