    We’re still talking Putin right? Not Trump’s Iran debacle? I suppose it’s technically not a meat grinder… yet… we’ll see what he does after the midterms.

      As much as I hate Trump, he’s got nothing on Putin yet. A few dozen American soldiers have died at most, and many suffered, but it’s nothing like what’s happening with Russian soldiers and infrastructure. People are not being drafted yet either. He’s cost a lot of money, but there’s not hundreds of thousands of men dying in an invasion.

            Sure, but psychologically he’s 12. Gambling on a man who admittedly has one foot over the grave and the other on a banana peel dropping dead before millions of Americans get a dirt nap in war(s) none of them want to be a part of seems… reckless. I know gambling is more American than mom and apple pie, especially lately, but maybe don’t put your children up for collateral to a loan shark.
