I’m curious if you believe that’s an accurate number. I, too, have seen reporting along those lines, usually from sources with a bias against this...
Correct. Do you have evidence of a big successful Russian offensive, or is this just another one that’s going to inevitably happen?
No, that wasn’t a challenge from me. I really wanted to read what you were talking about. I just can’t find anything open source to that effect....
Where are you seeing this? Do you have a link?
No, you didn’t.
Fascinating. People still watch Rachel Maddow. I had no idea …
That is true enough. And all I can say in this case is, it’s better than no words.
That was my first thought. “Tariffs” is not the right term here, and “sanctions” is not wholly accurate either. As you say, it’s difficult to...

Some will indeed. It’s a razor-thin majority, though.
It’s a possibility. You start running into some Congressional resistance when it comes to not meeting treaty obligations, though. Republican...
I am just as upset about the situation as you are. As far as I can tell, we have not paused our planning, intelligence, and targeting support, and...
We absolutely have to shift with the times. The 2% spending “goal” would have been more than sufficient in the first three decades after the end...
Oh, yes, to a degree. As with all things, there is a balance between how much the Alliance mitigates a country’s need to arm and the amount a...
