I think a couple fighter jets could have created pause and perhaps reevaluation in a Russian invasion real quick. Still could.... 40 mile convoy is still out there right? I really don't know the answer to that question. They were yesterday with their continuous breakdowns and gas shortages. Sounds like a well oiled machine that Russian army.

Edit to add.... not that I want the US creating pause.

---

Yeah these stories about Russian machinery breaking down, bogging down, and running out of gas have been shocking, frankly. Their military is obviously huge and nuclear-enabled but their Ukraine ops have seemed like amateur hour, so far.

---

I think an element of that is, we've watched so many war movies/video games we expect all this super high-tech stuff to just work great. But in real life, real issues happen, and not skills you get to actually use that often. And machinery that probably gets short-cut because the $$ have to go elsewhere. And certainly soldiers who are probalby underpaid, not motivated, etc (its not like they are taking on someone who attacked their homeland here)

Bottom line though, you are right -- our expectation would have been Russia would roll over Ukraine, and they don't look close to doing so.

---

I don't know why.

Look at how things have gone for us in Iraq and Afghanistan. I would say that we have the best military in the world and we had the people on our side partially and look how long it took us. Why would anyone thing that the Russians would just roll in and take care of the Ukranians?

---

Yours is a good point.....I think we underestimate how a nation / people fighting for survival will make it very tough for the nation on their soil.
But were we looking to roll over and just beat Afghan, or more to eradicate certain groups who could just move around and never be found?

Frankly, I also don't expect the Russians to try to avoid civilian casualties like the US Armed Forces are typically inclined to do.....and that makes a huge difference

---

You say that but as of Wednesday only around 2000 Ukrainians(both military and civilians) have been killed according to the Ukranian government. If the Russians were killing at will I would if expected those numbers to be significantly higher

---

And I think they will. Sounds like Macron thinks so as well.

That said, lets hope the Ukranians hold them off. I'm not sure how...but can hope

I can't find the clip I wanted to share from MSNBC; however, here are a few that I believe are important.

Yeah, she's not much different than AOC in my eyes either. Attention *****. Both worked in the restaurant industry and are cute. I remember the type.

If Biden can keep us from WWIII, I'll consider that a success. I am happy that his administration has been outspoken about not going to war with Russia. I am disappointed that his weakness as a leader allowed the attack to occur in the first place though. Ukraine has been attacked by Russia twice now when Biden has been in the top 2 seats.

---

Nobody wants to go to war, but you have to be strong enough that the other guy *thinks* that you'd be willing to go to war. That ship sailed shortly into this administration unfortunately.

It 100% would not be happening if Trump was still in office.

---

I heard a couple former military folks on the show yesterday talking about the fact that a couple fighter jets could've brought this to a halt real quick. They talked about how bad Russian forces were prepared and how inept they were. It wouldn't have taken much to stop this whole thing.

---

A couple of fighter jets could have subdued one of the biggest nuclear-enabled militaries in the world, that's being headed by a determined and ruthless autocrat, "real quick?"

You'll have to excuse me if I think that's understating the challenge and complexities a hair.

---

It wasn't my quote, it was former high level military personnel. While I do respect your expert opinion, I would probably defer to theirs first.

---

"Expert" talking heads said the first Gulf War would be over in a few days due to our military superiority and the lack of combat readiness of the Iraq Army too.

How'd that work out?

And that was Iraq, not Russia.

---

Oh you mean when we declared war? Totally the same thing. Should we bring up inept leadership like Jimmy Carter to whatabout your whatabout?

---

What's your read? You think a "couple of fighter jets" could have ended Russia's invasion real quick?

Way too late IMO. We've already **** our pants and now we have France doing our talking for us...

---

You know, Ive been hard on Biden. I do think his clusterf*** in Afghanistan played a huge role in this. But as far as everything thats happened since Russia decided to invade, I have been happy with. Its also been a gigantic wake up call to Europe that they need to arm up their own countries instead of depending on us. While I hate the war is happening, I am pleasantly surprised we arent directly involved (yet) and allies in Europe are committing to rearm (looking at you, Germany).

It showed his complete lack of understanding on the consequences of his decisions. He had one goal in mind, get out by a certain date. Doesnt matter the actions, he only cared about the headline. Its crystal clear he had no plan other than getting out. I think its the main reason Obama/Trump never pulled the trigger because they realized that if its not done properly, it would be a disaster. Admittedly this lead to us being there 20+ years, but I digress. I think Putin saw this and realized Biden would be hard pressed to make the tough decision if push comes to shove. I also dont think its a coincidence that Biden has been in the top two seats the last two times Putin has decided to invade Crimea/Ukraine.

As Ive said, Ive been happy with how Biden has handled this invasion as of now. Probably the first time in his presidency Ive liked what hes done.

Big time. Also seeing their soldiers that look so young and have no desire to be there is heart breaking. I'm sure some of that is Ukraine propaganda but I also think it has a bit of tooth. They were sold a bag of goods that they were liberators and that the Ukrainians wanted them there. Clearly that is not the case.

---

Russian conscripts are poorly trained, most fire their weapon under a dozen times throughout their training. Discipline is enforced through beatings and abuse. They are poorly paid and money for supplies and equipment is skimmed at every level of command.

The Russian army has nukes and some good elite units, but their mass of enlisted are not going to hold up to motivated Ukrainians forces fighting for their counties survival. I don't see many ways this ends well for Russia

So when China inevitably invades Taiwan, I'm sure we will see Taiwanese flags in the streets all over the world ... right? All Chinese products will be removed from shelves - China will be cut off from banking institutions and restricted from the airspace of numerous countries. I'm sure that is exactly how it will all go down .... right??

Not sure if your serious or not but the policies of this administration to stop the domestic oil and relying more on Russia for oil is a large part of the issue here.

Psaki and Biden have both said as much over the last week when both have said that the goal was to not increase oil production and was hoping this would push us more towards green energy.

Even Elon Musk is telling the government that we aren't positioned to go to green energy and to increase oil production

Was being very sarcastic, hence the emoji. Psaki was trying to tell everyone that this is why we need the move to green energy. But, opening up our own production is years away from helping now. Well, genius Psaki, green energy is also years away from working. Idiots!

Which is why Biden is reportedly lobbying some in Congress not to get too stringent with a ban on Russian petrol. He loses whatever support he has from the radical left if he goes along with increased US production. Plus, with a war cost of maybe $20 Billion a day, Russian economy could collapse soon and Nobody wants to find out what the consequences would be if that happens. I just don't think Ukraine is going to fall in the next ten days between some genius drone warfare tactics and Ukrainian snipers getting to senior Russian officers, and the all-out urban assaults still yet to come.

Sorry brother - The emoji didn't come through for me

The emblem of the Chinese Communist Party is a stylized version of hammer and sickle. According to Article 53 of the Constitution of the Chinese Communist Party, "the Party emblem and flag are the symbol and sign of the Communist Party of China."

It has nothing to do with Biden.

Not sure if your serious or not but the policies of this administration to stop the domestic oil and relying more on Russia for oil is a large part of the issue here.

Psaki and Biden have both said as much over the last week when both have said that the goal was to not increase oil production and was hoping this would push us more towards green energy.

Even Elon Musk is telling the government that we aren't positioned to go to green energy and to increase oil production

!

Was being very sarcastic, hence the emoji. Psaki was trying to tell everyone that this is why we need the move to green energy. But, opening up our own production is years away from helping now. Well, genius Psaki, green energy is also years away from working. Idiots!

Sorry brother - The emoji didn't come through for me

No worries at all! You and I are in the same page!

Opinion

With all the companies stopping business in Russia, are they actually doing the right thing? Without all the facts, my opinion is No. if we are trying to hurt the Russian people, then it's wrong. Now, if we want to try and hurt Russia's government and oligarchs, then go after their pockets. That would be energy!

I would bet most Russians are not in favor of this war. The Russians that are in favor are probably fed propaganda from the machine.

Question

When China invades Taiwan, will these same companies stop doing business in China?

When Biden escalates the conflict with Russia over Ukraine after NATO having violated all its agreements with Russia will we support a possible nuclear exchange for a Soros installed puppet?

If our government isn't willing to do what it takes, does hurting the citizens cause enough upheaval to make it stop? Or, does Putin not care?

He has self appointed his presidency. That makes me think he doesn't care about the people.

He's not wrong

We import 595,000 barrels of oil per day from Russia.

The Keystone XL pipeline would have produced 830,000 barrels per day.

Relying on Russian oil is a choice. And it’s a stupid one.

This is the comment Chris Christie after the SOTU, criticizing the positive reaction to Bidens announcement of releasing oil reserves by saying the decision to stop Keystone was the real issue, making us foreign-dependent
