Why Is the US Military Rationing Meals? They Have a $770 Billion Budget. What’s Going On?

[Mushroom]

Well, we haven't seen a major war since Iraq, so I will go with that. We have seen, however, a Russian invasion pretty much shut down by mostly small arms. But the Russian army is small, too, so it doesn't count as a major war. Even Iraq wasn't really a major war by WW II standards.

Then you need to give a definition of what you say a "major war" is.

If WWII is your benchmark, then there has never been a major war since then, and will likely never be another until WWIII.

 

[DudleySmith]

Perhaps. But wars are inherently unpredictable. Some nations could make the Argentine mistake in the Falklands that is thinking the British wouldn't fight.

More like they beleived all the conspiracy theory rubbish and thought the U.S. controlled everybody and everything, and we would order the Brits around and stop them.

 

[CrusaderFrank]

You think the Ukraine is more corrupt than Russia? Belarus?

Irrelevant. We're not funding Belarus or Russia. We're funding Soros, Schwab, Zelensky, Biden, Pelosi, Romney and Kerry and probably so many other corrupt politicians.

That is beyond ignorant.

Black Rock and others have a lot more bonds in Russia than they do Ukraine which is why the GOP is slobbering over Putin's ass. They hope he can keep up interest payments by plundering Ukraine and extorting Europe. So yes, Russia is very much being funded by the U.S. and western Europe, same as Red China is.

Blackrock is using their own money, Biden is using US taxpayer money to fund Ukraine

We gave Ukraine our weapons, they sold them on the black market and pocketed the proceeds.

.

That's because the problem isn't having the money ... If they are actually rationing, they don't have the food stores.
As night_son mentioned ... Get a clue from the writing on the wall.

Why don't you? Like I said, posting links is a waste of time with idoelogues, since they won't read them after sniveling for them,

 

[DudleySmith]

Does the WEF pay you per post?

It's certain nobody would pay you to post anything. Don't know what a 'WEF ' is, but all I do is follow the money, and the finacial sector is heavily invested in Russia, and much more so in Red China, and you and your right wing buddies spend a lot of time shilling tax breaks and freebies for billionaires while pretending to be all about 'freedom n stuff', which is hilarious.

 

[Mushroom]

Which theory is that?

When all you can spout over and over again is about political parties and money, that means you have absolutely no facts.

Just a belief, and reality does not matter when facing beliefs.

And if they weren't facts you would be able to easily refute them, instead you just play Snarky Skool Marm and babble away. If you don't think Black Rock and the other multi-nationals who do business with these countries don't lobby like hell to protect their assets, it is you who relies on belief and facts do not matter. And, the GOP is very receptive to their sniveling.

 

[Mushroom]

Trust me, I used to swim down in the cesspool of the CT are in here, it is a complete waste of time.

You all can bring up 10,000 "facts" that you absolutely accept. But they are all meaningless, and have nothing to do with anything. And I do not give a damn what side it is on, it is all coprolite.

In fact, one of the funniest exchanges was seeing "Empty aircraft remote controlled" believer linking arm in arm with a "100% hologram and planted explosives" believer, in trying to convince everybody that the "government was lying". Never mind that they were both completely opposite of each other, the thing that mattered wat not how the WTC came down, it was that it was really done by some secret group in the Government that did it.

You string together a bunch of non-sequiturs that only mean something in your own mind. Myself, I go with Occam's Razor every time.

Me, I go with "B".

They are using tax payer subsidized gimmicks to uderwrite their loans so they are using 'other peoples' money' and will get a Fed bailout if it all goes south.
