    I get it... thinking tangentially can be a struggle.

    Kind of an apples and oranges comparison, we spent a couple of weeks flying bombing runs , pounding the country into near submission before boots touched sand. Then waltz into a country who’s people really didn’t give a fuck about the ruling regime.

    True, but when responding to stupid posts like soxxx made, the comparisons I can make are limited

    He more or less was saying it as an insult to Russia that it's taking them 3 weeks. The US took just as long to reach Baghdad, and that was AFTER they bombed and flattened the country into oblivion, something Russia isn't exactly doing.

    3 weeks or not, Ukraine is being taken over and people pushing the narrative that Ukraine is winning on the ground are wrong. You don't have to be bias over the reality.

    They aren’t bombing the country into oblivion?

    russia is losing the lives lost battle probably 5-1. The only way to truly take over, is to win hearts and minds, which is never goi g to happen. Even if they do over run, they are going to be in for hell with insurgents. I’m not sure what the definition of winning will be here for anyone

    So the Biden gas hikes have the climate crazies running for the hills. The public is realizing we can’t let the AOCs of the world be in charge of this. After November, sanity may return

    I must have missed all those days in school where they showed how the president sets gas prices. Silly me, I thought it was supply and demand.

    Like i said, you seemed to be missing a whole lot. But any metric will tell you the American people aint. The Democrat party even knows this. And that is unprecedented. His own party is out. But you can keep the faith

    Do explain how the president sets fuel prices. Be specific, after all, you're not on a news network just babbling partisan points.

    Hey, you got me. Biden and Obummer are just unlucky to be presiding over $5 gas. Sorta the same luck they had with Russian invasions. Poor fellas

    So, you got nothin"? Why not deal with facts instead of quips?

    Maybe you'd prefer to tell us what the president should have done to get us that two buck gas?

    I'm glad I filled up both vehicles and the boat the day before prices got stupid.... and primarily work from home...and been making a conscious effort to drive less, to not only save a few bucks, but not give into their gouging rates

    The collapse of the US dollar and American standard of living is underway

    Yet people on this forum are blindly cheering it on....
