I guess thats what I'm asking . What do we call this thing we are doing ? We aren’t selling arms and heavy weapons to Ukraine we are giving it to them . We aren’t helping Ukrainians with Humanitarian aid . Just the opposite we are enabling Zelinsky to taunt Putin who in turn takes out his ire on the civilian targets making it more a war of terrorization , and to Chris’ point yes the Patriot missiles are a defensive weapon and do , to a certain degree, help the civilian population but further enrages Putin . So help me understand what is our end game here maybe i am using the wrong verbiage by using Proxy war ?

I refuse to watch ! The crook is making a plea for more and more is not what he needs from us . He wants more “ far reaching weapons “ from our own quickly depleting stockpiles … NO Damn it ! And backing him , literally, is a laughing hyena , word salad spewing idiot and a old lush that takes takes eye brow makeup lessons from Hokul the Jokul … is my disdain showing again ?!

Hey , if it gives a person pleasure to collect toys of any kind good on them !

In the. Public sector they would be told pretty much just that !

Do we call this a proxy war , future protracted action or protracted proxy war ? In a fantasy World wouldn’t it be great to see conflicts like this settled by the two leaders on a battlefield, alone just them and as Rip on Yellowstone says “ trade em till one stays down “ ! Putin is a bully and Zelinsky is a crook and putting Biden smack dab in the middle of those two … nothing good can come out of this !

Hochul and her downstate Albany henchman are getting further and further out of touch with reality and the upstate Constituency ! And as long as the Rotten Apple is part of the State as a whole , and she and her ilk are buying that areas votes with free money, free food , free …everything that we pay for because as we know nothing is free , what pray tell is to be done Sir ?!

YMMV but why , other than humanitarian aid , are we funding another war when we have our own invasion at the Southern border ? We are being drawn in on both fronts for which we will pay and not just in future tax hikes but in other costs which will be far more dear and dire ! Comes a time when the Federal Government needs to “tuck in “ as we plebeians have to . By that I mean close that damn border ! This Administration is allowing , promoting and now funding a full blown invasion has anyone been paying attention to the amount of younger males coming across compared to family’s, I have ! And again , tuck in … stop funding and backing another protracted conflict that will shortly have our young people in a foreign land fighting and dying and for What ?! No E-freaking nuff , Nada , No more damnit all , look around you we can’t bear much more as it is from food to fuels We are already paying in so many ways for the incompetence of those that are SUPPOSED to represent us and LEAD us ? No freaking thank you to that as we are being LEAD down a steep path to our destruction as a Country !

This is the only part where I disagree . NATO and UN are obsolete and quite frankly worthless as teets on a boar hog in this World gone nutso ! Any funds of any kind yes , use them for rebuilding etc but as in the past these two entities will not follow through on any promises they make . People of the Ukraine are resilient as they have had to be down through history and given the funds , etc they will rebuild quickly . As with our own FEMA organization here the UN and NATO would be more of a paperwork nightmare and hinderance than anything remotely helpful .

Obviously there is no one using Hooked on Phonics to teach these folks and FFS get to know the Area !

Good work by EPD and others ! But really has no one expected this and more to escalate in the area ? Well hang on to your shorts folks … shits already here and growing by the day !

That the weather can change any minute !

The SOB head butted the side of your head yes . Vice Principal did not want to let you leave school said they would handle it , secretary stopped us and said i had to sign you out or we couldn’t leave … yeah , the look I gave her ended that conversation !! VP got nasty and all sorts of huffy when he was told I would be filing a protective on the kid telling me “ you don’t want to do that “ , took that as a threat and my parting shot to him was “ his mother is a Legal Secretary, how many Lawyers do you want here to visit you today ? “ Hospital, Police Station and home to a very pissed off Momma Bear … Turns out the situation was taken care of before we left the school by another family member 🤔 Bottom line … as stated above , file a report with Law Enforcement immediately!!

And did the person involved in the altercation cooperate in any way with Law Enforcement… betcha not !

I’m ready for any big snow cuz I have two snowblowers ! My own and the other belongs to a friend but I think he may have forgotten its here 😂…

Slightly more than “ numerous “ … more like a butt load !

Dang … that propane bill is looking pretty good right now !

I don’t particularly like having to look at the situation in this light either but this is how protracted wars , conflicts , call them what you like start every freaking time . And make no mistake I have seen with my own eyes , up close and personal , how NATO operates … and the monetary cost of this is at the bottom of my personal feelings here !

Probably a very unpopular opinion but here it is anyway … ENOUGH ! We have an invasion of our own on the Southern border , and don’t forget all that equipment and small arms left in the Afghanistan debacle, we are further depleting our current supply of munitions with every shipment to the Ukraine ! Now NATO is considering invoking Article 5 . That is , American LED NATO forces on the ground and make no mistake NATO talks a good story … from behind while our Military Men and Women fight and die FOR WHAT ? It’s going to come down to this … WW3 or this generations VietNam ! Another thing to consider is this , our standing Military count is severely depleted and losing more Personnel everyday and what I ask you is the remedy for a depleted Military folks ? It’s called a Draft !! Told ya you wouldn’t like it but it’s just history repeating itself one way or the other and it all starts by supplying weapons every time Zylinski (sp) snaps his fingers ! No … it is time to back away from this situation , we stand to lose more than it’s worth . Yep , I said it … more than it’s worth ! Disagree you have every right but just consider the cost and not in dollars !

He had fun while on stage … loved the Sledge-o-Matic ! It slices , it dices , it even makes … sets cabbage on table … Cole slaw 😂 ! Guy had a smile that told you he was up to something RIP Gallagher …

Spot on Chris . Problem as well is that most would rather go to Sprawl Mart to buy that cheaper , thinner cut , Tetracycline and other growth hormone fed Commercial Farm raised … stuff .

I hope he contacts them as well ! These electronic voting machines and the others they use to check you in are crap and you have to remember the “ 3 strikes and your out “ rule as well ! Yeah , sure hope he came back to vote …

This is a damn shame but in a tough market the little guy gets dirt kicked in his face !

If you get an EBT card you won’t have to forgo getting your favorites like we do now ! Food shopping has become more “window shopping “ than buying and getting worse every trip like you say . And we aren’t supposed to notice the sizes of the portions either , these marketing folks are pretty twicky !

On deck for tonight !

Maybe a simple “ its still open “ would suffice . Sarcasm is a better fit on FB .
