Ya, sure, fire your one or two operational missiles at Britain. How many ICBM missiles is it that are still aimed at Russia again?

They don't have enough of them to have any real impact on Britain and embargos have made Russia's ability to create many more in the near future questionable. The only thing this would do is make Russia enter into a direct conflict with NATO. A conflict they don't have a chance of being competitive in.

They know it, we know it. This is saber rattling.

This goes to show that climate change is not the biggest existential threat so AOC and others need to get their head out of their fifth point of contact and take money away from the Green New Deal and put it toward defense. We hear that the budget is going to be cut 20% over the next few years yet many departments within the u.s. government are getting a 15% increase to help police the climate-change BS policy.

Here's a reminder of how even a limited nuclear war can lower temperatures for 20 years and this makes climate change Moot and people will die. Like I said before, everything the Biden Administration touches it ruins and people die and if we continue with this course of putting all our billions Into Climate Change mitigation, we will just embolden China and Russia to strike.

President Biden should stop his Jihad against oil and energy and have a Marshall plan to increase oil in energy production way past a 2 million Mark that has gone down. Back when he took office, we were up almost 2 million barrels per day. So it has nothing to do with covid-19, it has nothing to do with lack of Oil Workers available, it's a matter of The geopolitical Stance of the stupid by the administration that wants to get rid of fossil fuels. Lately, we are short fertilizer which we can make with natural gas and with oil byproducts but this Administration thinks we can rely on Bandini Mount compost alone.

With all the threats going on in the world with from Russia, this Administration is really stupid and Narrow Gauge and climate mitigation when it should be doing a Marshall Plan of increasing oil and energy production and increasing our defense posture.

Unfortunately, Bernie Sanders is pulling the chain of President Biden and he is a puppet of the left.

LTC (Join to see) I doubt we need to put that much more towards defense. If anything the Ukraine conflict has shown us pretty directly that we overestimated Russia's capabilities.

I'm much less worried about China as we are co-dependent and China is benefitting more from the current codependency than they could achieve from any conflict with the west.

SPC Kevin Ford our Navy is suffering and this Administration is budgeting a smaller Navy while China's is number one.

The defense department gets an 8% increase when we have a percent inflation yet a couple federal agencies are getting a 15% increase too help mitigate and pursue this God awful call Delta climate change swindle. I call it a Swindle because no matter what we do, the Earth is going to warm and China and India get 30 extra years to comply and they keep building coal-fired power plants.

LTC (Join to see) - I think we are going to have a lot of cold comfort (pardon the pun) as the impacts of global warming increase with the notion, "well they were doing it too, so why shouldn't we?"

This gets into the whole dichotomy between individualism and communityism on a country scale. If someone else is doing bad things should we do bad things too (or more particularly use that as a reason to continue doing those bad things)? I believe for many the answer to that question really comes down to how serious of a problem do they think it is.
