December 22, 2024Dec 22 Tracking Putin’s Feared Secret Agency, From Inside a Russian Prison and Beyondhttps://www.wsj.com/world/russia/evan-gershkovich-russia-putin-arrests-spies-9a75e1c3?st=UujX3U&reflink=article_copyURL_shareThe celebrated metric in the DKRO: number of spies captured. It is expected that each year they detain more spies and convict more people of treason, as the main focus of the administration. They seem to be getting what they reward. “As the war supercharged the presidential appetite for spies and traitors-real or imagined- the job of satisfying it fell to DKRO. Putin’s invasion gave DKRO an ‘entirely new raison d’etre…”

They have no one but themselves to blame. If they weren't flying airplanes to Grozny, the Russians wouldn't have felt the need to defend themselves. /s

December 30, 2024Dec 30 Another $2.5B to UKR…totally nothing that needs money here in the US, this makes complete sense.

Also I need to correct my earlier statement, it’s actually $6B we just tacked onto our UKR bill (now a total of ~$175B over the last three years). We’ve achieved a lot, time to stop and focus a lot more on all the massive problems at home.

We spend trillions on nothing most of the time. I’ll never understand how so many Americans have fallen for the line that we’re spending money on Ukraine that would otherwise go to Americans. That money literally goes to American companies. The Russians sure are good at foolin people.

Do you understand that the ppl you're engaging with on here actually have at a minimum a college education, decades of military service, and many with time at the Pentagon seeing behind the curtain? In other words, these aren't the ppl of Walmart with a cart full of mtn dew and ding dongs questioning why the gubment' is spending money on things they don't understand. This isn't a black and white issue. It's evolved since the start of the war and our policy needs to evolve as well. Just because it made sense to throw billions in resources/cash previously doesn't mean we're locked into that gameplan in perpetuity. People questioning the sense of continued support by us, especially when it exceeds those on the continent that are actually being threatened, have a valid concern. Edited January 2Jan 2 by Boomer6

The Russians sure are good at foolin people.Because they could have been spending the same or even half for the actual country that generated the money to give to Ukraine to then give to the MIC to then fund the corporate, chattering and upper classes that seem to profit from every policy that screws over fly over country I’m for a free Ukraine but more for a free, secure, sovereign and fair USAWe’re skeptical of power, aloof people who never feel the negative effects of policies they implement and while they tell us that events across the globe are more important than our borders, cities and towns Yeah, we can walk and chew gum at the same time, we can have secure borders, intelligent interpretation of immigration, drug and crime policies at the same time but we actually don’t have that now, at least not for a few more weeksSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
