What kind of "superpower" are we really when we had the ability to prevent all of this in the first place...or prevent more bloodshed now that it is actually happening?

What we are doing is fighting a proxy war with Russia with zero regard to all those losing their lives in Ukraine, while pretending we care about the people of Ukraine.

It's actually disgusting.

I could concede that Russia is AT FAULT for everything (even though I believe we were the ones that provoked them into invading)...and still the above holds true...especially since the fighting began.

Have no fear Briben Builders are near... Jim the Handyman and Hunter Haul it Home have the contract in hand to build it back better then Clinton's did in Hati.

On another note... Joe keeps saying we are out of money default is a mear breather away. But he keeps promising mo money to Ukraine. Still no accounting on where all the rest of the cash disappeared to... I'd say Joe has lost him mind but that ship sank long ago.

We stopped being looked at as a super power on the day we bailed out of Afghanistan. I am sure all our enemies enjoyed that game tape.

The Nazi propaganda machine operated in the same manner as our press corps today. One would believe Ukraine has the the upper hand when in fact their country is mostly in ruins.

Capturing the Russian speaking areas with closer ties to Russia near his border and destroying most of the rest of Ukraine will probably be an acceptable outcome for Putin. He will have more of a buffer between himself and the west. And with Ukraine mostly decimated, it will be many years before they can rebuild and start talking about NATO troops, missiles, and bio weapons labs on his border again.
