And yes, Ukraine has a huge problem with neo Nazis. Check out this article written in 2018.

As for negotiating for peace, do you even know why Putin went to war (which I disagree with)?
What do they want? Why are they invading Ukraine? It’s for a reason that the mainstream media won’t share, right? In any case, George Washington said, “No foreign entanglements!” For the record, Ukraine and Russia have been fighting for centuries on end! Leave us out of it is what I say.

You must be Eastern European. I don’t see how you’d want to risk NYC being nuked over a country over there or agreeing to kill half the world for a good paying job whilst seeing impoverished delivery folks as a huge problem
I am. Russian is my native language. I'm not Ukrainian although I can understand their language obviously. I actually prefer Russia as a country over Ukraine. Ukraine, historically, has been closer to a Poland culturally.

Putin has been playing this game and trying to **** over the US for a long time. He's getting his comeuppance. This should also quite down the clowns in Iran and NK.

No one's going to nuke the US. You think Putin will physically get in an ICBM silo or a submarine and turn the key? Don't get hysterical.
Tactical nuke in Ukraine is a real possibility but if the Ukrainians are OK with that (which they seem to be) then more power to them.

I ask Esacni a specific question - "How does a war in Ukraine benefit you in NYC?" And he goes off into broad-based equity funds and benefiting from the military industrial complex. In his world, geopolitical turmoil is now ROI? Cheers for Stormgal and Gilmoregal - you both are more adept at responding to him then I ever will be.

My explanation answered your question. If you're asking "how does the war in Ukraine benefit potholes being filled in NYC" (specific example) then it doesn't. Housing migrants doesn't help with potholes either.

The military-industrial complex encompasses far more entities than you're accounting for (research universities, semiconductor design, steel producers, armor producers, software engineering, rubber producers, high tolerance parts producers, etc, etc, etc.). Go look at how many subcontractors Lockheed Martin alone deals with. Go research how many every day technologies were first developed for the military and then repurposed for civilian use. You don't benefit from GPS, the internet, night vision, digital cameras, etc., etc., etc.

You don't benefit from the US being the dominant military, political, and economic power in the world? I'd say your view is very myopic.

That's funny! Maybe Hochul and Adams should be honest and say that the migrants can fill the potholes since there are so many jobs for them to do. If it's up to Pelosi, the migrants might as well be picking cotton.

Lol after a few months I learned to take my conversations with him as serious as a joke. I think he once argued everything I post on this website is a lie. As if I don’t source every single thread I start here with a link lol

Here is another example of the government doing something that indicates they are taking Putin's threats somewhat serious:

I claimed you're dishonest with regard to hiding your self interests when it comes to certain topics. Here's another example. I never claimed everything you post is a lie. If you can find the post where I claimed that, I'd gladly retract it.

You 100% stated I specifically lie about things here. Nothing to do with self interests you didn’t mention that. & I’m not about to go through every post I’ve made on here to find a lame comment you made about me. Believe what you want it’s just hilarious because I legit source everything
