The president also criticized congressional Republicans, saying they needed to “show a little spine” and take up a bipartisan border agreement in the Senate.
You're viewing part of a thread.
Outside of passing a bill with billions of military aid for proxy wars in foreign countries, it was still a shitty bill. I am fine with using the system correctly, but why not stop the bleeding first and actually prosecute the law?
Are you aware of what it even did? It literally just codified that 5000 people per day can illegally enter the country by any means, and then after that they have to go through the port of entry, and if I am remembering correctly it doesnt even start taking place till the end of the year. And then it made it so that all the court hearings adjudicating it had to take place in DC. No person should have accepted that bill even if it didnt shove military aid to kill people around the world.
It is irrational but consistent that conservatives took getting what they wished for as a terrifying cautionary example of...getting what they wished for.
Border security is a non-critical earmark that baby-brained conservatives whined for more action on and then cowered from once their plaintive cries were answered.
Ukraine should get as much aid as they want. Any other conclusion is nuts. Or selfish. Or cowardly. Or short-sighted.
I dont think you read my comment...
And the Ukraine war is over, they lost, you wanting more aid is just encouraging more death of ukrainians.
I read your comment.
The Ukrainians want aid, and they should be provided with as much as they need.
Do you mean Russia lost? 413,000 Russian troops lost so far to Ukraine's 31,000.
Not to mention the massive equipment loss.
I don't think Russia has completely lost yet as they haven't fully retreated, but by losing 13 soldiers for every one Ukrainian, Russia is certainly on its way.
Even if Russia manages to temporarily occupy an annexed piece of land for a little while, everyone knows how weak they are militarily now. More countries are turning to NATO as a direct result of the invasion and raising national defense because of Russia, international investment in renewable energy, Russia will be suffering from sanctions and a lowered global dependence on oil for decades.
Russia is definitely the loser here.
413,000 Russian troops lost so far to Ukraine’s 31,000.
Hold up, do you actually believe this?
You think everyone, including Russia, is tricking you somehow? Why?
I am not being tricked, I dont believe those numbers, I have no idea what the numbers are.
So you do actually believe those numbers?
I believe those or similar numbers provided by every country analyzing casualties in this war, including Russia.
You don't. Why?
Because they are obviously propaganda. If you believe "the bad guys" have lost 13x more men than "the good guys" then I dont really know what to tell you. I have one stat that will help you realize you are being lied to; Ukraines militaries median age is up 10 years to 43 years old in the past two years or so. [Cue furious googling to figure out how to dismiss this data as normal]
So your baseless "believies" are telling you that Russia and every other international corroborating report is strategically overreporting Russia's losses.
Why?
Also, the age of the Ukrainian military is going up as the younger generation(comprising much of the military, especially the front lines) is killed and the age of recruitment has been repeatedly heightened.
No "googling" required.
Those numbers are underreported for Ukraine and probably overreported for Russia. The reason is obviously propaganda on all sides.

Exactly, and now think about when the military is a million people or so, how many would need to be dead or wounded for the number to rise by 10 years.
