[MDC 7,413]

I feel for families struggling to put food on the table too! Unless they try to negotiate higher wages.

Not as much as I support families struggling to put food on the table due to the inflation caused by Biden. But yes. 

More catastrophizing and misblaming inflation's cause.

Biden didn't cause inflation. Supply and demand causes inflation.

Here is a chart showing inflation decreasing:

Back to oilpatch, which of these scenarious do you prefer:

One:

Gas prices at $1.80

9 percent unemployment in the oil and gas industry.

Strategic reserve at capacity.

Two:

Gas prices at $3.

Near 0 percent unemployment in the oil and gas industry.

Strategic reserves half of full capacity due to desire to reduce gas prices but steadily refilling as those hard-working, God-fearing oilfield workers make great money and put food on the table for their families.

Yeah. So lets send all the tax monwy to Ukraine to fund a war in Europe.

Gas prices are up from $3.29 / gallon since my last fill up to my recent fill up of $3.69.

Yesterday, Ukraine had a major breakthrough in a place I can't find on a map and  is 20km SE of a place I've never heard of and also cannot find on a map, so congrats on that. Things seem to be looking up.

that's the way it works in the media. This will go on for years unless we vote in  a guy like Trump that can rule via power. Not  a guy like biden wanting to pad his retirement fund and being weak.

Ukraine state media showed a clip of Zelensky giving a speech to a supposed packed house at the UN. The only problem was they showed the crowd and there was Zelensky sitting in the crowd watching his own speech. Too funny. Yeah, believe what Ukraine has to say about a war with no  independent media in the war zone.

The truth is the American people are turning against this war and Biden is in the LBJ position where he may have to drop out of the race unless something happens to severely change sentiment

Your response to being asked to provide a link is to say you don't need to provide a link, followed by a challenge to prove wrong your linkless fabrication. This is what you do, and even if 500 links were posted to prove you wrong, you'd either dismiss them or bring in irrelevant subject matter in a lame and obvious attempt to deflect and gish gallop your way out the corner of wrongness, where you spent most if not all of your time.

Oh brother. Support for Ukraine remains bipartisan, and of course support will wain as time goes on, but to compare this to LBJ and Vietnam is just moronic.

[Hardcore troubadour 15,424]

Remember that missile that hit the market in Ukraine, killing civilians? Ukraine said it was the Russians. It wasn’t. The missile was fired by Ukraine.

A trump win will have Coattails because of dissatisfaction with Ukraine war meaning the GOP will take both houses of Congress and that means we’re pulling out of NATO

[Hardcore troubadour 15,424]

Poland won’t buy anymore grain from Ukraine or send them anymore weapons. Zelensky threatened that if Ukraine refugees feel that Ukraine is being abandoned they may cause unrest in the places that took them in.  Wait, I thought they were all women and children?

Russia is winning big time and everyone that was supporting and supplying Ukraine are looking for any excuse to cut Ukraine off. I imagine Biden will try offering some sweet backdoor deal to keep support going ... for now.

Russia is getting its ass kicked and losing ground every day. Their military is exposed, weak and demoralized. The sanctions are working. Your warped viewpoint and useless guarantees remain excellent unintended comedy, though.

hahahah youre delusional.  Ukraine announced its glorious counteroffensive months ago and managed to take 1 tiny village named Robotyne that had a population of 500 people at the cost of countless Ukrainian lives and millions in equipment and weapons.

You're just ready to crawl up into a quivering, carpet-wetting ball on your mom's basement floor and either die or submit to Putin while life and reality goes on without you. Sad.

If we were living in 1940 these same dudes would have been rooting for the Germans against England. After all the pro Nazi types back then had the exact same motto: “America First”. 

They would've been in the "stay out of it" camp right up until Japan bombed pearl harbor just like most people were back then.  "Stay out of it" is essentially what they're saying now.

We had the same mindset prior to our involvement to World War I. 

Nationalism and "America First" don't exactly work out when global factors put that mindset at serious risk of extinction.

Maybe, but what I'm trying to do to defend your team is point out that the vast majority of Americans opposed US involvement in WW2 up until France fell and eventually pearl harbor.

What the guy who said you'd be cheering on Germany back then did was present what they call a false dichotomy in which he espouses only two options... either support Ukraine or you support Russia, but, of course, the third option exists in which you support neither.

 

[nobody 2,671]

And of course your case really isn't helped by the more challenged members of your team, who do seem to support Russia just because that would stick it to Biden.

I support peace. And even more I support not Fockin with a lunatic armed to the teeth and who is not shy about getting into a fight over some backwards corrupt country that has never nor will ever do a damn thing for us. Except make some politicians and bankers rich.

The Vietnamese didn't want the US there; the Ukrainians would piss their pants with joy if US troops showed up.
