“People think, increasingly it appears, that we shouldn’t be doing this. Well, let me start by saying we haven’t lost a single American in this war,” McConnell said. “Most of the money that we spend related to Ukraine is actually spent in the US, replenishing weapons, more modern weapons. So it’s actually employing people here and improving our own military for what may lie ahead.”

swearing up and down that such skullduggery from the Americans are in the past.

Why would I have a positive opinion of yanks in the future? They're doing shit they get caught they deflect and whinge they get told privately some possible consequence and how to avoid it then they cave because said offer has been so well-crafted they can't refuse. It's called diplomacy. You know, the continuation of war by different means.

Why ask about the future, when it's a mystery in the present as well. You're the one who thinks they'll pay reparations for something they think you deserved.

You weren't supposed to buy cheap resources from Russia. You never had the permission to.

What, for making Russia pay for a pipeline that was never going to carry gas in the first place?

Or is this about not buying their gas, which we still don't do? What are they doing about that? Trying to impose tariffs on steel and hurting their own economy in the process because they can't produce high-grade steels?

they would never attack germany. its too risky.

ok there were no risks involved. even if they bombed the pipeline, they will surely pay reparations.

ok they won't ever pay reparations. but its not like they have to. we were never going to use the pipeline anyways!

i wonder what's next

Pretending to not give a fuck while waiting for an opportunity.
