Steven, your comment is laughable. We have managed to build the wealthiest and freeest country in history, while other “great civilizations” like China, Iran, Russia and Africa have wallowed for centuries in poverty and chaos — mostly by their own making.
The US does a better job when it comes to nation destruction than nation building!
Does Russia have enough money for war?
Sanctions are biting into Russia’s revenue, but the biggest costs from its Ukraine invasion might be yet to come.

Definitely NOT a win by Russia.
Peloni,
Do you think it’s wise to compare the US leadership of today with the incompetence of the past? It seems that the Biden Administration is heads and shoulders above them. Just consider the following: Would a Bush, Clinton or Obama have shown the “Shoot first, and ask questions later” decisiveness of Joe Biden’s Baloon War leadership?
““A small, globe-trotting balloon declared ‘missing in action’ by an Illinois-based hobbyist club on Feb. 15 has emerged as a candidate to explain one of the three mystery objects shot down by four heat-seeking missiles launched by U.S. Air Force fighters since Feb. 10,” Aviation Week reported.
“The outlet said the club’s balloon — a “silver-coated, party-style, ‘pico balloon’” — was last seen on Feb. 10 at 38,910 feet off the west coast of Alaska. That was the same day Biden ordered an F-22 fighter jet to shoot down an object at around that altitude in that area.
“In fact, the outlet reported, the descriptions of all of the three still-unidentified objects that were shot down after the Chinese spy balloon “match the shapes, altitudes and payloads of the small pico balloons, which can usually be purchased for $12-180 each, depending on the type.”
“The military has acknowledged it used AIM-9X Sidewinder missiles to shoot down each object. Each missile costs around $400,000. One object required two missiles after the first one missed, bringing the total cost of shooting down the three objects to more than $1,600,000.” 😮

Lt. Col. Danny Davis on the Russian Offensive and Other Developments in Ukraine – 2/10/23
Hi, B. Poster
You made some good observations. First, let me post the Ukrainian response:

I’ve often posted about the enormous logistical advantage enjoyed by Ukraine and its NATO supporters. Russia, meanwhile, has a great supply of under-employed young men, to be ruthlessly thrown into the war to catch Western bullets. Of course, Putin’s insanity has not gone unanswered: Our dithering Duce Biden, along with his confederates, have been working overtime to chase American industry out of the country, sell our precious petroleum reserves to Communist China, drain the US Treasury and throughly demoralize our military, formerly the best in the world, with its Woke madness. In all this, Joe Biden has been Putin’s most powerful and loyal ally.
If the balloons are a distraction, then the US leadership class has become even more desperate than most realize. Of course those who were paying attention already knew this. By acting hysterically over this we’ve become the laughingstock of the world.
Of course NATO is loosing the ammunition war. They along with the US lack the industrial capacity to keep up with Russia. I’ll read the article today time permitting. The headline refers to “logistics war.” Of course NATO/the US are losing this to. During the Georgia war Russia was able to move men and material to where it was needed faster than the US could have in a similar situation over similar distances from the homeland as retired Col. Ralph Peters was forced to admit. Unfortunately rather than face the obvious he made excuses. The Russians are the best in the world at logistics.
