Usually. But I think if the President had asked Congress for the economic measures I described, they would have passed it. Sure, 10% on each...
I know. But that would have already happened by now if it was going to happen at all. He should have been on the thinnest of thin ice after he...
Do you mean merchant ships to get the grain or warships to break the Russian blockade? I suppose the answer doesn’t matter because the result...
No, we should not. We should do the opposite. The government should turn off farming subsidies and order maximization of food production. We are...
No, they have done more than I thought they would to help Ukraine, even changing their laws to do so. They also condemned Russia in the UN, which...
Ah. They are saying they need to keep all of their food at home. Understandable. The impending food crisis is going to be awful.
Then it will have to go through Romania and Poland all the way to Mediterranean ports. Unless we are willing to stand up to Russia and break their...

Meanwhile, China is issuing more threats of its own, calling our support of Taiwan “dangerous.” My first thought was our response to China should...

I would be completely on board with sending an unarmed merchant relief fleet and daring the Russians to touch it, yes. If they do, then we start...
Those missiles will certainly hurt the Russian blockade, but I don’t think they will break it. Certainly they can’t do anything about Russian...
A year ago, I might have been impressed. But I have since seen how well the rest of their technology works.
Excellent. I was hoping for some data on how the Javelin worked against the T90M. Maybe the Ukrainians can provide us with a burned-out hulk or...
I believe a wise man in this thread, roughly my height, warned our local Russian agent what would probably happen when the Russians attempted...
We have not offered Hungary a viable alternative yet, though we are capable of doing so. Similarly, we have not offered to backfill their old...
I’d prefer the end of a rope after a trial, but I’ll settle for the desired end state.
Precisely the problem with all political science models. Trying to neck down very complex systems that are difficult at times to put into words at...
