In the USA, business expenses are tax deductible.

No offense to Ukraine but the territory occupied by either side isn’t exactly equal or comparable.

I think it could do more with European Allies vowing support unless it ends soon.

I’m sad that more death is coming but also happy that Russia is this threatened despite the US Election outcome.

If they were confident then they would just wait for Trump to enter office.

I wish it could stay like that.

TBF an online Windows 7 copy is just asking to be Hacked given Microsoft support ended in 2020 and security updates after that required a paid subscription which ended in 2023.

As a pisces, I studied the blade.

Question: what if the goofiest most fucked up concepts accidentally align with the dark reality we live in?

Yeah, realistically he’ll just do what Obama did and act like a good teacher giving Trump the details needed to do whatever needs to be done in emergencies. Trump, of course, will soak it all up like a metal bar: not at all.

I saw another funny post saying he should abdicate now so that Kamala Harris is President 47 and Trump has to scrap a bunch of Merchandise.

Scum company, we will remember

I’m sorry to be the one to break the news to you but every NATO agreement is with the USA as an intermediary. Applications are sent to the USA and approved by the USA.

Without the USA all previous NATO agreements will become void. Until a new organization forms without them, there will be no pact holding the countries responsible to defend each other, and it will likely be difficult to get countries that weren’t at immediate risk before to join the new organization given it lacks the USA’s firepower as a guarantor against the potential enemies they could make.

Decades of progress put into making the alliance will be gone, and it will become everyone’s problem sooner or later. The USA will become a frontline when allies start to fall.

Well, technically speaking, some of them did give up because it was convenient, but we won in the end and it only cost us the most deaths ever recorded for any conflict ever. This-this isn’t helping me rn. This conversation isn’t helping.

USA spent 3.5% of GDP, lower percentage than Poland, on NATO or a gross number of $754,684,000,000 USD

Canada and Europe provided 430,112,000,000

So unless you can conjure 430 Billion USD out of your ass without any inflationary effect then America just lost a third of its defence budget and power. And every other member lost much more than that. Do you understand now? If it was difficult to attack or capture those members with NATO then it’s going to be seen as barely a challenge without it. We’re all the wounded gazelle on the Serengeti, but this situation is even worse than that because even the figurative lions will suffer during a new world war. The only people who will benefit from whats about to happen are the worst human beings imaginable.

I don’t really give a flying fuck about who pays for what, but not having a defence pact and not sharing resources for the security of each of its members is going to lead to war, death, and destruction. NATO if nothing else is an effective deterrent, Russia campaigning against it before invading nonmembers along its borders is proof of that.

There is no price tag on that. This could be the end of mankind in the event of WWIII. This could be the last of our kind.

Not gonna lie though, the porn people draw in November is pretty top tier.

Ask if her father was possibly a little overprotective.

They get a microphone. In the old timey days and some low funding courts the lawyers have to be very good and loud speakers.

About 9/10 court scenes a lawyer walks around the well and doesn’t get beaten with a baton, really annoys me.

Well thats somewhat unnerving.

I was going to ask why the thumbnail on this post is a hexagon shaped bear, but your comment explains it well enough.
