Ukraine….what’s our endgame here

I imagine he is in possession of his faculties part of the time. He probably gave that order then. Part time President is not ideal, but it is what it is. I imagine this is the way it was with Reagan the last 6 months or so. Wasn't good then, not good now. But it will be over in a couple of months. I expect the defense chiefs in his cabinet make sure he picks an appropriate time, before they follow his orders.
You have just articulated why we have ceded the advantage diplomatically and we are on the back heel in general.

Mass Deportation and Tariff Wars.... What's our endgame?

Neither of you guys know how to count 0's.
I Know he mistyped it. I know that it was in billions, not millions. I know he did not check me on that, which was intentional on my part. I also know he types out numbers instead of using m and b, which is ridiculous, so I pranked him. And not only does he mistype it, but he uses cents. That's really ridiculous. I guess I could have put up something like $56,000,000,000.36(56b+) which is a lot closer to the real figure in taxes taken.

Ukraine….what’s our endgame here

I’ve never argued boots on the ground. I did argue for supplying Ukraine with military assets in the lead up to the invasion. Assets sufficient to deter or significantly slow or stop said invasion. I believe my position was correct then and maintain the same line today. Again…once Russia seized that territory it was lost never to be returned without US combat forces on the ground.

Continuing this war makes zero sense imo. Hundreds of billions of dollars. Thousand upon thousands of additional lost lives. Further destruction of Ukraine. All in a war Ukraine not only can’t win but whose negotiating position continues to worsen as Ukraine is further depleted of troops.

We never had a strategy to win this war. Only one to prolong it. Look…I don’t like conceding that territory to Putin either. However , that ship sailed almost three years ago. Things are escalating. Time to end the bloodshed and loss of life. It is what it is at this point.
So you would have advocated this order early in the conflict, but not now? We have given them the tanks and the missiles now. Also gave them a few planes on top of it. We weren't sure of their capabilities then. They hadn't had the problems with supply lines and Prigozhin, etc.

Fire him TOMORROW!

For anyone who had Kinne on their bingo card, he’s out.

From Pete Thamel:

Sources: Texas State has agreed to a new seven-year contract with coach GJ Kinne. The contract averages $2 million per year for seven years, with the potential for bonuses to add to that. It runs through the 2031 season.
Does not exclude him from anything. But no need to fixate on alums.

Ukraine….what’s our endgame here

You sure you want to provoke a war with a Commander-In-Chief who: 1) was recently declared incompetent to stand trial by a federal prosecutor, 2) lost not only a debate, but his party’s nomination for the highest office, due to obvious geriatric cognitive communication deficit, and 3) may or may not have a personal financial incentive to pursue hostilities in the region?

Just exactly who is ordering those bombers? Can Biden explain his reasoning on television, please?

Ukraine….what’s our endgame here

Obama was too busy putting boots on the ground in Syria providing weapons and training for what would soon be a failed insurgency with much of the weapons falling into hostile hands and many trainees actually joining Al-Qaeda or ISIS instead.
He probably saw that as the more paramount issue at the time. It probably was, but this needed attention at the time, as well. I wouldn't doubt that he regrets that.

Ukraine….what’s our endgame here

Implying your argument was for boots on the ground. And what was your argument for Obama to have done differently, other than boots on the ground? He could have upped our involvement to what Biden did, increasing levels of support, or boots on the ground.

Yooler official game thread

This team can play better. Even without Garcia. Each one of them takes breaks on some plays, both physical and mental. They have yet to exhibit much mental toughness. They did down the stretch in the second half at Missouri State, but that was after playing like lumps which got them behind in the first place.

Sometimes fear is a man's best friend. Coaches like Richardson, Smith, Self and Eddie Sutton could be real sumbitches but their players would run through a wall for them. I'm not sure our current staff scares anyone.
I 100% agree with this. Fear can be a great motivator and Konkol is just too nice. Can you imagine what would have happened on that sideline if Richardson, Smith, or Self was coaching last night? It would have been a nuclear explosion! Konkol just isn’t the guy who can bring TU back to the glory days. IMO it’s going to take a gritty type of coach like those legends I mentioned to turn this 20 year mess around.

Ukraine….what’s our endgame here

Aah reminds me of that Teddy Roosevelt adage… “ speak softly and bend over and drop your pants for your Soviet overlords”

If I were Biden, in response to ICBM’s I would move a nuclear bomber group into Estonia or Poland.

You’re not the only one with Nuclear capability Mr Putin…. And as soon as you launch yours… we launch ours.
