  1. The core of his argument about the economics is undeniable. Stopping the flow of missile components is a proactive measure that saves more in the long run than constant reactive repairs to infrastructure.

    Lol it’s wild how the whole ‘cheaper to stop missiles’ argument just highlights how messed up the political games are. Like, everyone knows what needs to be done but Republicans keep playing defense for Putin while pretending they’re not. The real cost isn’t just money, it’s how many more Ukrainians have to die because of these calculated delays and manufactured excuses.

  3. Facking wild to think how much he Russian government could have empowered its economy and society (e.g. Russia having one of the worst addiction/opiod crises in the world, way worse than the USA) if they had just spent their military/bomb dollars on their own economy

    It’s like they won the lottery with their insane resources and then spent it on trying (and failing) to steal their neighbor’s house.
