Ah thanks for the correction. Regardless my point still stands that these people were heavily armed/trained which I think is very surprising.

Holy shit that’s crazy. 45 15 police officers were killed too. I bring up this number in particular because usually, attacks like this, have people heavily armed against unarmed people. They usually get dispatched pretty quickly when they encounter any sort of armed resistance (police, or people with guns), but to see that they still were able to kill 45 police is crazy.
Definitely a double edged sword: if you play frequently enough, the game always feels incrementally better. If you don’t play frequently enough, you feel lost. Not great for riot to lose players for that reason
The one about how the non-window/wall ones suck?
How did he teach you to make a quick 100 bucks?
Been waiting for his next video. Whoa just found out this guy does videos about stuff other than dishwashers. that’s pretty cool, hope this dishwasher guy makes it big.
I’m hoping you’re right. What I could imagine is that he just wants to burn through the prisoners since if they don’t make it back, that’s less prison costs. So even if he has reserve troops available, he’d rather use prisoners first.
Idk If you’re talking about the US, but liberals/the left have to deal with Republicans having enough power to block any additional funding. The left does want to do more, it’s just difficult when one side wants to do things that help Russia
That being said, I do ultimately agree with your sentiment, the West is not doing enough quickly.
I mean the percentages are different, but the argument remains the same, Russia is attacking a sovereign nation and feels they can do it with impunity. Getting access to all of Ukraine’s resources helps them rebuild faster and help destabilize the West more since they would be able to affect food supply chains.
Putting being “moderate” is irrelevant (though I didn’t agree Putin, who is homophobic is moderate), his similarities are with his actions in attacking a country for personal Gain.
There is no other option to counteract Russian aggression, supporting Ukraine and sanctioning Russia are the major tools the West has. Ukraine can defend themselves but the West has been slow to provide sufficient support, quickly. This stems from Russian influence on the West as well (Republicans warming up to Russia, or things beneficial to them). Sanctions take time, to affect countries. Russia is currently selling oil at discounts and also may have to begin to import more oil. These are all problems for Russia that will continue to get worse.
It feels like your dismissing the idea of learning from history.
My understanding is Ukraine is a large grain producer and exporter. So I wouldn’t say the land is very barren. There’s definite upsides, but you and I would probably agree its going to be a huge cost for Russia.
I feel you’re kinda talking past ChapulinColorado’s comment. He’s indicating that for many people they would should have a simple tax filing process where they don’t receive money outside of what’s reported to the IRS already. Many workers only have a W2 and use the standard deduction. They shouldn’t have to pay a 3rd party to get their taxes done, and it shouldn’t take them almost any time to file a return.
yes you’re also right that people would still need to confirm what their income is (especially if its not reported to the IRS), but that doesn’t apply to a large section of the US Population.
Will look into that to see if that’s easier that what I currently do now. Thanks!
More or less what I have to do.
Will do.
Amazing discourse. I’ll review your best argument to perhaps reconsider my position.
Ah yes, Trump Mr “finish it up quickly”, and the “israel should nuke Gaza” Republicans will stop those pictures from happening alright.
I think this meme is hilarious because most of these things are things that Biden or the Democrats are actively trying to better, and Trump would actively not help(wages would be the only one he would say he would improve, while passing tax cuts for the rich).
This feels like a meme someone who only watches OAN or Fox news would make, thinking that the things they say is real reporting.
I feel it’s been common knowledge since after the first month of the war that Russia has miscalculated significantly. They sent in paratroopers, some of the most time consuming and most expensive soldiers to train, into Kyiv where they were summarily killed or captured with no support. Other units ran out of ammo and fuel, with soldiers indicating they weren’t expecting to invade.
Every day this war lasts is a spit in the face to Putin and his shitty planning.

Wiki is already updated. Sucks this guy sucks. Mad props to the studio though, they terminated a working relationship with their more prominent supporter when they could have tried to ignore the allegations.
