It's unbelievably cheap for the price of cementing the respect of every bordering nation and to inflict a disaster that will take Russia a decade to recover from. 

Both far more cost effective than our own wars and offers far more benefit for us, economically and politically, now and in to the medium term future. It is the biggest foreign policy coup for the American hegemony since the Sino-Soviet Split and maybe since WW2. 

Exactly. Try forming a kick ass army that can take on a world military power, an army with sky high morale and determination, and equip them for 80 billion dollars. Hell you couldn’t do it with 800 billion dollars.

So here's where we differ: I don't think Russia ever really militarily recovers from this. Their demographics and economy plus government structure doesn't allow for it. This is the last time Russia will be able to wage any kind of meaningful war and have a chance at winning. Unless it invades Maldova.

There are only two things I can't stand in this world: people who are intolerant of other people's cultures and the Dutch.

Bob appears to equate unquestioned support for every insular (Trumpian current) conservative, pro-US over anything/everything foreign policy noise, flag waving, and calling any recognition of shitty historical US foreign (or, really, any) policy as patriotic. It’s the only form of “patriotism” his ilk seem capable of recognizing. It’s stupid.

I mean... maybe, maybe not. The war shows that their ceiling was a lot lower than we thought so they have a lot shallower climb to "recover". :shrug:

Remember that every argument you have with someone on MWCboard is actually the continuation of a different argument they had with someone else also on MWCboard.

I very much hope this is their future. Cut out their energy exports and they really don’t have much else.

In other words, he and his team really aren’t deep thinkers. No capacity for any critical thinking whatsoever…

100% of MAGAs and many far right GOP leaders/voters have zero capacity for critical thinking. 
 

They simply follow orders and need to be told what defines their political policies. 
 

Education levels are super low of the above groups. Combine that with common brain washing and it’s easy to see how and why we see posts like Bob’s.

Right. Since Russia was threatening our place in the world hierarchy. lmao. No one was going to the bottom faster than Russia BEFORE all this

I mean, yes, Bob. Russia acted to ruin our goals in the Middle East, Russia uses energy and gas exports to try to get eastern and central Europe in a stranglehold, Russia uses its energy profits to explicitly fund campaigns to shred western solidarity. Hell some of the things you post on here were probably directly or indirectly funded by Russia.

They're welcome to have France.  Wont improve their military, but maybe the food will improve.

Your thesis is that Russian food is better than French food?

No big deal. I just assumed most of your blood had pooled in that enormous thing you’re always prattling on about, leaving a deficit for your noggin to use.
