That seems redundant and performative. A decorated former officer reminding the troops of something they may have forgotten is one thing. Purity testing people who have never served if they dont dictate to troops what they already have been told is quite another.

This is literally why military lawyers are assigned to commanders. "Did you ask your JAG officer or did your JAG officer volunteer any advice?" is a question that pops up in military tribunals.

Hot wars are expensive. Still, without the recently installed sanctions, it would take 3 more years to drain their accounts.

I mean, that just means they have a negative cashflow and cant access international loans. They still have a LOT of gold- enough to run the whole country on for weeks without any taxes or exports at all.
But unlike low-rate loans like the US has, you cant keep it up forever.

The new sanctions were agreed on months ago, but they were only implemented yesterday. And right on time, there's a "peace deal" that Putin's puppets are trying hard to pressure Ukraine to accept, even though it amounts to surrender.
Russia had one of the top 5 gold reserves. It's half gone now.

The new sanctions are worth more than all that, if trump doesnt roll them back.
Russia is already halfway through their gold reserve, and they dont get the same favorable interest rates on national debt the US does.

Not many issues are actually "bothsides" problems. Unfortunately, AIPAC's influence is one of those things. Support the few democrats who arnt on their payroll.

Actually, Romney made the mess when he was governor of massachusets. Obama used it as a template.
Then the "conservatives" on the supreme court took a sledgehammer to it while senate republicans fillibustered any attempts to take it to the mechanic.
Now conservatives are reaping what they've sown.

I'd argue we've been falling since House Speaker Gingrich, possibly Reagan.
Gingrich is responcible for the republican strategy of "No negotiation, no bipartisanship unless it's 100% our idea"
Reagan cut the taxes on big buisness that funded the cold war.
