Funny looking M16 or is it?

I look at that stuff coming out of Ukraine and it makes me sick. Every one of those missiles cost the taxpayers $240,000. And they are shooting off what are supposed to be held for our use. Meanwhile back home AT&T just cut health benefits for 98K retired employees and lowered my promised $50K death benefit to $15K. And every illegal dope and homeless freeloader in Calif. gets their health care for free. The Russians will be leaving soon and will be taking Zelenskys lunch box home with them. But wait... the news says we're winning?

The Russians will be leaving soon

In my opinion it is most unlikely that President Putin will simply decide to quit and pull all Russian, military, forces out of Ukraine with their tail between their legs. Russia will only leave Ukraine if forced out by Ukraine.

History has shown that if you allow a dictator of a big country to take over a smaller country, or part of a smaller country, they are not usually satisfied and before long they are back wanting more.

Especially when one of the primary world leaders exhibits an incredible amount of weakness and inability to confront evil, similar to Neville Chamberlain....

Dave HH,

Just recently our VP was just given the role of point person for the Biden administration’s initiative to monitor advances in artificial intelligence and develop a government response to technology that is changing the world.

Just a week or two prior she made this statement at Howard University:

"So I think it’s very important — as you have heard from so many incredible leaders — for us, at every moment in time, and certainly this one, to see the moment in time in which we exist and are present, and to be able to contextualize it, to understand where we exist in the history and in the moment as it relates not only to the past, but the future.”

Think about Verbiage like this coming from our country's Point Person to monitor Artificial Intelligence and to Develop our Governments response.
I'm sure no one has any idea what that speech above is about, but it was put out there in front of a friendly audience at Howard U about Abortion Rights.

WTF

My reading comprehension never has been perfect but what the VP said there, makes absolutely no sense whatsoever haha. I wish at least one person in that room would have had sense about them to ask her on the spot what that actually meant haha. Would probably get a similar answer in paragraph form that made no sense either.

JD,
Friendly audience are the key words. She went to Howard. No way this Administration will ever face a hostile crowd/reporter.

Not to dump on anybody, but, HBCU... Charlie, that speaks for itself!

Well, folks, we are entering political discussion here. Let's not. The rules plainly ask us not to because such discussions usually devolve into angry arguments.

Thanks, bunches.
