    Turns out, even three decades of corruption can’t defeat Soviet-era planning policy

      See, I am 100% on Ukraine’s side on this to the point where I think the U.S. should use nuclear weapons to defend it when we inevitably run out of shit. I think we should have put U.S. troops on the ground as soon as the trouble started and prevented all of this from happening in the first place.

      That being said, evil actually does win most of the time in life. It’s why most people are evil – because it works.

      So when I see this pattern of Ukrainian cities getting leveled and Russia seemingly never running out of troops or equipment, but now at least one Ukraine ally has, the writing on the wall looks pretty clear.

      I am not advocating we pull out and let Ukraine get ass-plundered. I’m saying we should fight to the last but that Russia will probably win in the end. And that is sad.

        Least bloodthirsty lib, right here.
