Some of it here?

Raytheon wins $1.2 billion surface-to-air missile order for Ukraine

Read it. There's more...

Big surprise, huh?

The numbers he posted were Dept of Ed and budgets for infrastructure, so yeah if those departments are purchasing missile trucks that is surprising. :laughing:

the ratio among was for infrastructure rebuilds not weapons, just so everything doesn't get totally confused.

Anyways if you were to run a semi cold war and fund someone to fight a country you don't like, that is the easiest way to get it done. Beats paying Saudi Arabia to ship weapons that you paid them to buy from buy Israel I guess.
 
Best armor design goes to.... Ukraine. Ukrainian battlefield innovation: a ZU-23-2 anti-aircraft autocannon with makeshift armor made from steel blades taken from agricultural disc harrows

We're number 1 in the world in oil production. So we're producing a lot as it is, we just use more than we produce.

Simplest way to fix that would be to figure out a way to only use as much as we produce.

Otherwise, we need to figure out how to produce more, but when you do that, you're opening pandora's box, because at some point we will hit a wall in how much total oil we can produce. The population is always going to go up and demand for oil on our present course is always going to go up.

are you sure we're #1? We WERE, but a lot of that shut down.

as to your last paragraph... might as well say the same about anything... food, money, etc. Shoot, with that approach, you may as well join the call for eugenics. :flipoff2:

As of 2021 we were. Gotta wait a few months to see what the 2022 data will show, but I would be surprised if we dropped down since the #2 spot is Russia and I don't think they're ramping up production any time soon...

As for Eugenics... I like Sweet Dreams, but I don't really listen to enough of their other songs to really consider myself a fan.

:lmao:

You DO know that Europe is still buying Russian oil and gas through surrogates, right?

Not to mention the other nations who don't give a fuck about the US/UK since they kept getting fucked by them and are happy to go elsewhere.

And those other nations were always buying from Russia. Why would they suddenly be buying more than usual? Just to "stick it to the west?" I doubt that. Let's put a placeholder right here. In 2021 Russia was producing 10.11 million barrels a day. I don't see that going past the US number of 11.19 million barrels a day.

There is probably more communism in the US than in Russia at this point. I highly doubt Russian universities are pushing collectivist ideologies as hard as their American counterparts.

Agree. Putin is on record suggesting that the woke mob are modern day Bolsheviks and are putting the USA at risk. Thats weird being the media coverage.
 
Little gay man wants to ban religion in UKR.

And stupid sheep across the planet still have the nerve to say UKR and freedom in the same sentence?

Zelensky Proposes Barring Orthodox Church That Answers to Moscow

Ukraine’s president called for legislation to prevent an ancient branch of the Orthodox Church, led by a Putin ally, from operating in his country, but it remains unclear how that would work.

I didn’t say they were all identical , but they are all communists and all dictatorships .

Communism has different levels and different flavors , matches whatever the dictator in charge at the time wants .
