    RE: bold

    Why though? They outnumber them 4 or 5 to 1 in total military size and Putin has obviously lied to them. It’s easy to see that he’s willing to throw sheer numbers at them to play last man standing regardless of death.

    It’s not like the Ukraine is Iraq where they’re armed with sticks and homemade IED’s. They’re vastly underarmed compared to the Russian’s but they still have several branches of military and Turkish drones and such. I think the strategy has always been to outnumber them regardless of death.

    But I don’t doubt the number is likely very inflated.

    Yes, and very obviously an inadvertent slip of the tongue; on the other hand, the actions of Boebert and Greene were quite intentional.

    A sign of weakness? When the other guy is pouring gasoline on everything its a pretty good idea to stop lighting off fireworks

    its especially an odd criticism given that you support the guy who calls this invasion "wonderful" and "genius". You wanna talk about weakness there, yikes

    By the by, its Zelenskyy. I'll probably be stuttering for the rest of my life.

    But it happens to the guy on a regular basis. It's not like it's a one off. He won't take a cognitive test so who knows what's going up there.

    The 40 mile long Russian convoy is “stalled”. I really hope there is more going on that we don’t know about. But I certainly still don’t understand watching it on satellite, and dealing with it when it gets there. In what battle plan on earth, would we and others be giving them millions/ billion worth of weapons, to not deal with that on the road? . 40 mile convoy has been in the road for 4 days and it’s still 40 miles long? Being fed a catastrophe in slo mo is getting frustrating.

    I wonder if the morale , and will to fight goes up, or down for the civilians the longer Russia takes to move on cities. I’m sure it’s better for preparation, but How about for the morale?

    The Russian’s are just going to willingly lose thousands of lives for a piece of land that offers them very little other than strategic position against the rest of the world if they want to take it over? It’s not like the Ukraine is rich with natural resource's or something.

    On another front - these guys just stole a tank and are having a blast?

    What is this "cognitive test" you speak of and what is the history of American presidents taking such a test?

    And what about the second part of my statement - the part about Boebert and Greene. Do you think they have it all together?

    As for the second part, Boebert and Greene aren't the President. And I'm pretty sure they don't have dementia related to old age. Biden? Not so much. He should take the test.

    Insane that these few posters don't understand the comment was about the sitting President and the overwhelming amount of times he has just, "misspoke". It's like when a child gets in trouble for doing something and keeps asking, well what about the other kids who were doing it too?

    Absolutely mind-blowing they can't understand this but want to drag it out for 3 pages.
