how you gonna pay for the gold? ;)

Cascading mistakes here: 1) we should already be in nuclear war with Russia - this is a moral statement, avoidance of nuclear war with Russia is not a goal in itself. Deterrence requires we be willing to go there. I am. What's wrong with all of you? 2) There were 2 explosions reported on the ground. The Poles aren't letting the Ukrainians see the site. We have only a much later redacted, editorialized, positioned statement from highly motivated people that they were even wrong in the first place. Is it possible that a Russian missile also struck Poland? Clearly, yes. Why is the second explosion, and the second crater visible in many of the circulated pictures not discussed? They think they're saving us from something, but if it's time to go to war, we should go and not be cowards about it. 3) It should never have gotten this far. Budapest memorandum. We are required to defend Ukraine. Every day that passes that we don't kill those Russia troops disgraces us. I am tired of it. I would fire the entire staff starting with Biden specifically because he is trying to be such a "statesman" about this. It was his insistence that Americans would not get involved that gave Putin the go ahead in the first place. His hands are drenched in blood. It is small consolation to know that a republican would have been worse. It does not absolve inaction in a moment of crisis, or failure. That's the job. The President, in my view, has failed me.
