I know them plenty well already.

Probably 100 million dollars of military hardware. It very nearly does its own fighting.

IOW you agree that nothing going on there meets any part of your stated definition of a proxy war, but you'd like me to agree with you because reasons.

I mean, seriously bro. "very nearly does its own fighting"? Tell it to the dead Ukrainians.

A+ douche take, would ask for douche take again.

I haven't seen any coverage of this in the US media. It seems our good friend, Israel, is selling drones to the Russians which have been used against the Ukrainians. At the same time "the Ukrainian Ambassador to Israel Yevgen Korniychuk said Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky “does not” understand Israel’s refusal to provide defensive equipment, as he accused Israeli leaders of not doing enough to help Ukraine by providing defensive aid, absorbing refugees, and taking a clear stance against Russia. Nice guys. So much for "never again".https://www.timesofisrael.c...

Honestly, I don't really give a fuck.

That was pretty clear from the get go. Lucky for you, you aren't Ukrainian.

And it fosters apathy in the brain. So the citizens are hard to rouse, however off the wall the gov't gets.

It was more offensive Republicans claiming FDR put the entire navy at Pearl Harbor to make an irresistible target for Japan, so we'd be in the war. And as you all know, Churchill did the same thing so the Germans would 'bomb Coventry.' Just a couple of crazy kooks, those two. Apart from the no-evidence aspect-- both would have to be different guys--- I mean grim, insecure personalities. Both were too confident and optimistic to mess with anything of this kind; in contrast to the dank personalities who came up with the theories and ran with them.

To be fair, it wouldn't have been a total shock if it HAD been Cawthorn.

Not protection, those are in-field food service supplies in case they get a chance to raid one of Herschel Walker’s foreign chicken farms.

Somewhat funny in all this misery is how confused the MAGA crowd is. Everybody says something different. Hannity is clearly anti-Putin/anti-invasion, Tucker tries his best to keep the shit stirring but seems confused, Breitbart tries to make it all about Biden's failures but is in no way in on any conspiracy theories, the Gateway Pundit on the other hand is, just like many others of the moron-friendly RWNJ news outlets.Many are toeing a line, and with all these mixed messages the poor MAGATs have to form an opinion of their own probably for the first time since forever. And one can see that in the comment sections, too. Usually a united front of hatred for everything to the left of them, these days they're divided like never before.
