The obvious difference is that the Afghan population had no interest in running their own country. Western tax payer money was wasted for years trying to remake that country in the image of a Western democracy, but the people there had no real interest in that outcome.
Ukraine is a totally...
Don't care one bit if "you" buy Canadian goods. Feel free to buy from the Russians. I'm more than happy for our tax money to help fund Ukraine's defense, because it's in line with the West's agenda to make this war as long and miserable for Putin as possible. I wouldn't expect a country like...
Britain 🇬🇧 announced a new military aid package for Ukraine totaling $75 million usd in value. The package consists of the following:

The death toll in the Russian concert mass shooting has reached 70, with dozens more critically injured at hospitals. The attackers used automatic weapons and flame throwers.
Terrorist attacks are awful, regardless who they are perpetrated against. That said, I'm fighting the good fight not to...
Politics my dude. It's an election year in the USA. I've told you countless times that the West is self-interested. Biden fears that if Ukraine successfully damages Russian oil refining capacity to the point that it creates global shortages, it will drive up the price of oil. Americans despise...
Nobody is nuking anybody. That's just complete fantasy.
Any French, Baltic, Polish, etc troops that go to Ukraine (if that even happens) will not be serving in anything close to a front line role. They would be placed on the Belarussian and Transnistrian border as de facto border guards...

It's another way of me saying "I agree with you".
I'm not suggesting that you're not making an argument. I'm saying "I have no argument to your point".
Simply a misunderstanding between what you thought I was saying and what I was actually saying.
No worries!
The biggest problem isn't the availability of shells worldwide. There are millions that could be purchased. The problem specifically is with the sourcing of 155mm shells of the appropriate type. One of the problems that the West faces is that many of their platforms fire specific versions of...

"Easily" is a huge stretch. Israel has, by far, the most capable air force of its adversaries in the region. Nuclear weapons act as an insurance policy, but the IDF is a capable army, although flawed like all armies.
The $1.2 Trillion usd government spending package that USA 🇺🇸 will unveil today officially puts UNRWA funding for Palestine 🇵🇸 on hold until March, 2025. In 2022 and 2023 USA provided the agency with $364 million usd and $371 million usd.
This is the right thing to do. Let the wealthy Arab /...
One of the more brutal videos I've seen yet of drones hammering infantry. In this video, two Russian infantrymen refuse to surrender and instead get caught in a "no man's land" of sorts with shovels, trying to fend off an FPV drone armed with a shaped charge...
